I couldn't agree with you more on both points.
People collect for many different reasons and no two people are the same. If I wanted to have over 1000 figures, I would. If I wanted to only collect every variant out there, I could do that too. The only restraining factor is budgetary constraints but they can generally be overcome if you want something bad enough.
For me, the satisfaction is collecting the toys and characters that I am interested in rather than having a thousand 'junkers' just for the sake of saying that I have a whopping collection count. At the end of the day, do what pleases you and nobody else.
My comments are not intended to disrespect any individual or made in direct relation to the collecting habits of any board member past, present, or future![]()
