Ever Make Yourself Out To Be A Liar .....

.... collecting wise. I was just sitting here looking over my collection and noticed how many things I have that I said I would never buy.
'77 Superhero Slurpee cups. I said I'd never get them and only wanted the original series. Same goes for the DC Slurpee cups. Thought to myself I'm a Marvel guy so I'll never pick up the DC series ... wrong again.
Comic Action Heroes, Pocket Heroes and Bend n Flex lines, I thought they looked goofy and I'm now collecting and love them as much as the 8" line.
And again with the 8" figures. I said to myself I'd never collect any other lines besides the WGSHs. Lied about that one too. It goes on and on.

I said to myself I would never spend more then $200 on a collectible for me to keep and I've bought items of $300,$450 and $600

All the time in my 20's when Booze & chicks were involved..., ooohhh wait,.. we are talking about toys,.. Ok then,, well only when a price discussion comes up with the Miss's ... when something might magically show up at the house I wasn't ready for.

About 3-4 years ago I scaled back my collection immensely--got rid of my 12 inch Megos, my CAH's, etc etc. In an attempt at self control I told my wife that all the vintage toys I own will fit in the single case I have set aside for toys. Well, after that purge a few years ago let's just say I have filled a few more shelves since then (and I miss the stuff I got rid of!).......

Captain Action...it was a line I used to think sucked. Until you hold a Captain Action figure in your hand you will think it's a lame figure. Then you see all the cool accessories it came with. Sucks you right in and then you have almost all the Super Heroes.

I told myself I would stop buying until I sold some stuff, but I am at it again.

[palitoy]

I have pretended to be "done collecting" so much it has lost all meaning.

[ScottA]

I told myself to hold up after Mego Meet for a while since I was low on funds. Yea, right. Like that worked.

I'm into so many hobbies it's crazy...my wallet lets me know what to collect....maybe

[Dave Mc]

I was never going to collect anything but vintage SW. Then I was only ever going to get Mego Apes. Then maybe just Star Trek. Well, then maybe just the Hero's I had as a kid. Well, then maybe just a few other things, but never Chips, WOZ, Dukes and such. Well, maybe just those as well.

A year or so ago I would have bet anyone big money that I would never collect the Marvel Secret Wars figures. They were just not vintage enough ..... yep, now I have a shelf full of them carded and loose.

[UnderdogDJLSW]

Yeah, I keep saying the "I'm not going to buy anything until I sell something I have" thing, too. Meanwhile, I've forgotten what the floor of our basement looked like.
