Why is everything here sort of "quiet and boring" here lately?

For me, there's been a series of Mego related disappointments which culminated with the one-two punch of WGSH Wave 18 and the Big Lots fiasco. As such, I haven't really been inspired to continue being involved in the "social" aspect of Mego collecting. I also fully realize that these are my issues and no-one else's, which is why I'm not posting a detailed, point-by-point list as it would most certainly come across as overtly negative (which is not my intention).
