This chart shows the number of new TFs I acquired each year over the past 25 years*.

When I look at the numbers this way, I see that my buying across 2007-2009 was madly incredibly out of proportion and it's why I'm both selling a bunch of stuff at the moment, and why I'm being more picky with the new stuff I'm getting.

What are other's people's collecting patterns like? Anyone else made enough to chart it up?

(And if Jaydisc is reading maybe charting/reporting could be a future feature of the iTFDB?)

* It's not how many toys from each year's range I've got, that's another chart. I also had to guesstimate quite a bit as I don't have solid records prior to 2007 so I might be a bit off each year, but no other year is as insane as 2008!
