Ever felt like slowing down, or stop collecting altogether?

[Steve Piranha 28,783]

For all collectors, have you ever felt like slowing down in collecting or stopping for whatever reason? I’ve been feeling like slowing down because I feel as if collecting has been a quest whose goal have been met to me for the past few days. I’m not feeling so bad for not seeing new collectibles anymore. These last few acquisitions are literally a bucket list I’m crossing

As far as MLP goes, I got almost all of the figures I was interested in apart from a few of the fan series figures(Chrysalis, Twilight vs Tempest, Trixie and Starlight), but with how much the prices on those go up, i'm not exactly in a rush to get those

I have accumulated, I think, a sizeable collection of figurines, books, etc. over the years -- though my collection is definitely small compared to many of the more dedicated collector. But I do not acquire MLP items nearly as actively as I did years ago. I do not think I will ever attempt to achieve a sort of complete collection of MLP items for, at least one reason, I do not like the quality of many of the official merchandise.

One thing I will mention is that I am disappointed that 4DE never made a Luna plush toy despite having revealed a prototype for it... about a decade ago now... huh...

I think I have the MLP figures that I want, though I sometimes go through the toy section of a store to see if there's anything good there. I collect other stuff though, but whenever I seem to be running out of space I start slowing down. Then I hang a new shelf or whatever and, well, I am not going to keep that space empty, right?

I've been that way for many years now. I collect certain cards, keep them in my possession for a few years, and then sell them again when I no longer have an attachment to them. Only on rare occasions have I kept them longer than usual, but in the end, my mind just loses that attachment.

I do have other collections which I've managed to hold on to because of having an attachment to them that refuses to break. I guess I'm just a complicated individual.

Ok, that phase passed, NOW I’M DESPERATE TO BUY MORE SPECIAL HORSE MERCH
