Re: Another year another dollar. What's your toy plan for 2022?
Ill add my 2 cents.
I typically make a purchase list for the year and update as I go. This year I started adding the amount spent with monthly totals. I hate how much was spent this year. Price increases really added up too.
Recognizing that, I decided I would trim my TF collection to on-screen Sunbow and Headmasters only. This had me sell lots of my old collection which is great as those funds cover more than half my purchases next year. I was quick to get rid of my old Menasor as well, it looks like shit, any improvement would be great.
I was collecting Star Wars Black but that IP as a whole has become something I mostly dislike. Sold the majority of that collection with fewer than 25 as my keepers. Glad to not look back on this line. Just a mess of a shit show.
GI Joe classified, I'm mostly all in on it. I can pass on exclusives and repaints of army builders like Python Patrol or even the Zartan exclusive. I Already got 23 figures preordered and paid for for next year. This line is fun to acquire but crap to hunt down or wait for.
I also started and completed a Marvel Legends symbiote collection this year, love it. Being such a niche collection I am eager to add to it with future releases like the expected Knull release. It's nice to have a collection that will only add a few new figures at most per year.
Overall I want to spend less and I think that will be easy to achieve for next year. Would be nice if I collected outside of Hasbro tho, they annoy the heck out of me when concerning how they do things.
