To answer the question: more than I should
I knew about Hot Toys for a while but Infinity War and Endgame made me start collecting them. These movies were so good and made history and seeing how HT quality went up lately I feel like this is the perfect time to build my collection even if it's a big blow to my wallet having to get so many at once. Grateful for those release dates.
My Endgame list so far: regular MK85, BD MK85, Iron Patriot (wasn't a fan of the color change at first but now I feel it's not that bad), WM MK6 (yeah, I actually really like the design), armored Thanos, Cap, Black Widow, bro Thor.
Not sure if IW figures that appear in EG count here but here it goes: WM MK4, Iron Spider, Thor, Doctor Strange, Bucky, Ant-Man. Undecided about Wasp.
I know that's a lot of diecast figures but I know how important they are and what happens when they go out of stock.
. Used, NIB. E-bay sellers usually mark up, but some of the listed prices are staggering. (Dunno if those prices will hold, but I collect for myself and don't overturn my figs, unless it was an emergency.
Yeah, I was meandering through the 'bay yesterday - and just keep getting shocked at the prices for "10 year MCU figs"
They're long term displays.)
Time to time I've paid a bit of an up-market price like for NIB Ultron Cap and Vision, but for me probably those days are gone. There's lines I won't cross $$$$.
Looking my fig groups over (loosely by movie) - I spent a lot, but, glad I did when I did. There's stuff now I probably will never have $$$$$ like a second CW Falcon or a Mark 43.
But, overall, think I got a nice collection already. Scaled back $$$$
Hawkeye is POd; plan on Thor. Waiting to see what HT does with Cap...that may be it - not sure yet. Bucky arrived already (if I don't get EG Cap I will 'bash a CW battle damaged Cap to go with). CW was probably the last movie I was grabbing a lot of figs from all together.
I paid Bay prices for that Civil War Falcon. It was lower end of the price range on there, but still quite salty. I can honestly say that it is a figure that I have no regrets paying the extra cost for. It is absolutely awesome! With that said, it would've been even more awesome at retail!
if u have the room. And even if the TV series ends up with another Falcon release, the colors will never be the same. Am still kinda bummed an IW/EG version wasn't released - battle damaged; with the 3 drones. 
; think Vision was the last one where I thought I had all the time in the world and then prices started to climb.
