Your Limit?

I am already out of space and half of my collections are already in boxes. Since I bought most of what I want, I am limiting my future purchases to 2-3 per year; that's only if my financial future holds up. And rotating my boxed-up items with displayed items to refresh things.
Maybe a house of my own is in the far future?

I limit myself by focusing on a certain scale, for me it's 1:4 Marvel, 1:1 classic monster, 1:4 and 1:1 Stan Winston creatures, 1:4 90's slashers, etc..
That means even when I'm interested in getting the Wolverine 1:1 bust, it won't fit because I would end up starting a whole new line of 1:1 superhero busts.. Whereas If I were to add a 1:1 custom Wolfman bust for example, it could fit because it helps complete the line of 1:1 classic monsters, even though it may take up the same amount of space as the 1:1 Wolverine. That's how I limit myself anyway..

Yea, I wouldn't be surprise when people start putting statues on their head. Collectzillas
right now, I have 35, not counting the wolverine 1:1 on the way. I plan on switching to 1:4 and 1:1 avengers & xmen only from here on out

Yeah it's pretty good to have a plan whatever that may be for your collection, and not hoarde indiscriminately (unless of course your plan is to hoarde indiscriminately.)
That's why I've been passing on so many pieces. ;x

Can you imagine how awesome a 1:1 Captain bust would look?
That would rock (unless they try to think out of the box and fall into the sewer again, makin' him old man Cap or sumthin'....)

I hope they don't go too far off the path with him. I think they pulled it off with Thor, but that was pushing it for me. It looks good, don't get me wrong, but I want a young, in-his-prime Captain.

Yeah, I'm ok with creative off-takes but they have to redo them in the popular versions as well and not do the 'buy this or nothing for years' stand.

I will sell my other toy collectables before my statues to make space.

Damn it Chap, you turned this into a Cap 1:1 Bust discussion thread! 
The line between collecting & hoarding does blur sometimes. I was thinking of setting my limit to 30 pieces & rotating from that point. Sounds logical doesn't it?

I collect premium format and comiquettes so I like to limit most of my purchases to 1/4 and 1/5 scale pieces, which space does become an issue. A lot of pieces get released that I really like, BUT i don't love and so they don't become a must have for me. If I love the piece, I'll probably buy it. I'm not big into rotating pieces either. If I had to set a top limit, it'll probably be around 30 statues.
