Does anyone else just not care anymore?

^Excellent advice.

So, you're kind of a unintentional MISB collector, Suspectimus? Seriously though, you have extreme patience.

Quite unintentional Also, patience is a virtue that I am still working on, I would better describe the above mentioned thoughts as procrastination evolved

It just takes me a much longer amount of time to channel Goki's vigour in putting blade through plastic packaging

I'm the same, i leave my ebay purchases sealed for like 3-4 months before i feel the need to open them.

That's part of the issue with pre-orders or online purchases, that you can't be rewarded with the thrill of busting open the package at the point of purchase. I've allowed packages sit for weeks/months at a time, because I didn't feel that I was in the best state of mind to enjoy them. Opened Movie Fracture recently and that was one sweet moment, but I had her sitting MISB next to my laptop for almost a year. Also got a bunch of the later Animated stuff from a very long time ago (Rodimus, Arcee, Cybertronian Ratchet+Ironhide, Freeway Jazz, Takara Blackout) that I'm waiting for the right time to open them all.

If whatever's letting you down on purchasing, just don't purchase anything more until those feelings are go away, and when you can make decisions that aren't emotionally charged.

^Excellent advice.

I totally agree

I'm more that I want to be awake and not rushed and able to enjoy opening it up and exploring the engineering, design and transformation. I've been collecting faster than I open for at least 5 years now. some things I wait to have the whole line so I can take a photo of them all MISB together ( I am currently trying to figure out how to get hold of a first edition prime at a reasonable price) then I'm cracking the lot

I'm still a fan of Transformers but I don't feel the need to collect any new figures as I did before, I'm pretty happy with my collection and for money and space's sake it is probably a good idea to not buy/pre-order EVERYTHING that Hasbro releases. Usually I'd racing or up in arms in getting the new big fig such as the MP-10 TRU exclusive Prime but I don't even care about that anymore, even if I've missed it because I already got my own MP-04 Prime which in itself was already one of those chasing down a rare toy experiences.
