    I sold all of my Star Wars figures, maybe 2000 of them and all my Marvel Legends, probably 90% of all that had came out to that point, and about 100 Mcfarlane football figures.
    Thought I may as well get them to someone that could display them instead of leaving them in storage totes in my outbuilding.

      I also don't collect for cash value -but it makes getting rid of it more enjoyable if it has some worth.

          My brother-in law has two storage lockers and a room at home full of 90's to recent toys. They're all stacked in their boxes. He needs to purge, big time. He thinks they'll be worth a lot one day. He's spending any potential profits on those U-Haul storage lockers, but you can't tell him that.

            Yeah no kidding. Scotty sells for over $100 on the card. I still need to pickup a Spock and will buy a few Aliens at least the Cheron.

              To me the new stuff is Super Powers, POTF, Toy Biz ect. I sold all that long ago. I do like some new stuff like Remego ect. The Giant King Kong was a must have for me and fit Gijoes and Shoguns. Not a big fan of New Gijoes but if I pick 'em up uber cheap they go into custom parts pile or go to grandkids for play. My favorites are my childhood loves but I do pick up a few new lines once in a while. I have sold off my collection many times do to financial issues and I can tell you that it causes you to focus on what you love most when buying back pieces.
