I started collecting a couple of vintage figures through a comic shop I visited just before college down in Corpus Christi. When the POTF2 figs started coming out I was in college and went everywhere to pick them up. I then went into EPI when I had no money and then into POTJ. When I went overseas in 2001-2002 I spent my extra time and lots of money filling in spots in my collection buying pretty much everything I could get my hands on. I came home and had a ton of stuff and lots of boxes to open. EPII came out while I was overseas and when I came home I started picking up everything from that.
Pretty soon I had a bunch of stuff with no meaning to me. I started selling some of my stuff, starting with EpII figs. EPIII comes out and I picked up almost 100 clones and eventually sold those too. Over the last two years I've started selling most of my stuff. My wife and I bought a new home a year ago and after boxing up what was left of my collection, close to 15 boxes, I decided I had had enough. I kept my vintage loose collection, my Han collection, and gifts that people had given me. I decided I had enough and wanted less clutter in my home.
With the money I had, I bought a good amount of equipment for my home gym...thank god, no more trips to the gym to workout, just go into the next room. i've been digging through and selling more stuff recently. My collection looks neat and much more maneagable now that it has a place and a focus. I still travel through the toy sections at Target, Walmart, and TRU, but don't purchase and modern stuff anymore.
