I am so glad that the pain of acquiring things for me hasn't translated to disliking collecting. The peaks of enjoyment happen less often but I still enjoy it. I personally can't imagine quitting collecting SW over it being more difficult. I'd much rather get stuff here and there than not at all. Anyway, I don't really have a point to this post, just thought I'd share my feelings as there's been a few posts similar to Ed and Justin's as of late.
It isn't that I dislike collecting, I just knew once Disney took over, there was no way I could keep up anymore. At the time, I was trying to divide things up by movie, so I would need need seven sets of shelves for Hasbro figures, one for each movie plus a seventh for EU stuff. Same thing with lego. Once Disney made the purchase, my mind kind of exploded that day. I was just sitting there reading the news on Facebook and I knew I couldn't hope to keep up. Hasbro was the first casualty. Then sideshow (however I did preorder the Baby Yoda and did order the remaining BH figures to complete the set). I got divorced back in July, so I had to move all my stuff so everything is in boxes and totes filling up my basement with no real room to display anything. I'm going through the slow and painful process of selling off Hasbro stuff in the hopes of eventually make some space in order to display things like my vintage stuff and loose Hasbro stuff. I never even got around to unboxing stuff like the Big MF from so many years ago. It sits in a box somewhere.
I have kept up with Hallmark since I put the new ones on the tree every year. The novels and comics have always been a big part of what I enjoy so I keep up with those as well. I could really use a library or study type room so I could have them all on shelves instead of in boxes. I really dig the John Tyler Christopher action figure covers so I think I have them all except for the B&W version of Star Wars #1 with Luke. I buy the blurays in regular edition as my one to watch as well as the Best Buy steelbook to keep sealed and the UK 3D steel book since I still have a 3D TV. At this point, I'm just focusing on downsizing with the hope of finally displaying what I enjoy. Really not sure what to do with all the lego sets at this point, there are just too many of them.
