[QUOTE="subzero, post: 487335, member: 9185"] I was also starting to go down the path of acquiring as many trilogo's as I could, but unfortunately iv'e had a sudden shift in financial priorities this summer out of the blue and have decided to stop buying any more and also thin down my collection. Iv'e sold off all the ones I bought just for the sake of building up a collection and kept all the ones that actually mean the most to me, iv'e done the same with my complete loose collection too, iv'e sold off all the ones I never had / played with as a kid ( and there was a lot of them ), and ended up just keeping all the nostalgic pieces. I understand now though for the first time since collecting vintage SW after reading about people on here buying a figure for the intention of selling on or swapping, but then can't bring themselves get rid of it because they love it too much :lol: I also felt the same way when packaging up what iv'e collected over the past year or so to send them off to the buyers, I felt a bit gutted that I was letting them go, but financial priorities overrules everything sometimes. :cry: Large amounts of money are in some of these old toys just sitting there and sometimes it just has to be used, but at least we get to enjoy them for a while, after all iv'e always said my whole life we don't own anything anyway, we're only renting these possessions while we're here and eventually one day through choice or not, they will all be given back to someone else.
