It is a waste to throw any of these figures away – how do you know someone isn’t searching for them? Haven’t you seen any of the Collectors-type shows where people are scouring op-shops and markets for everything that’s no longer made, from 20-years-ago action figures to retro-195os dukeboxes? Particulary as they seem to stop making the figures when they stop making their series. At least try selling them on e-bay first – you might make someone’s day (or decade).

Good point.

If money's no issue, why not do a giveaway/contest every now and then? If figures you've looked at enough don't appeal you anymore, I'm sure they can make others pretty happy. .-= Eefi´s last blog: Minori Mai Cosplay Angel Beats! =-.

Facing the same dilemma. And as you said, last wonfes tells me I need space too ^^;;
It is always hard to get ride of something. There is always a little voice in our head saying to keep stuff in case of a possible future use, or in case of figures, to keep them until the time we would have a huge place to display them all.
I also got a bunch of ‘old’ figures I am no longer interested in, and sooner or later, I will have to throw them away.

Yeah, that’s the one. It looks sexy. I’m not that big on Miku, so the change of costume probably appeals to me.

I think I want to keep them because I anticipate buying a house in the next couple of years and would have a den where I can throw all of my nerd crap in and revel in the glorious excess of it.

Yes, it’s that Rider.

Our interests change, which is both what makes people great and annoying at the same time. We do keep some things around for a while. I find as I get older I’m less likely to completely lose interest in things and just backburner stuff instead. Interests ebb and flow and I try not to junk on what I liked before. Some years I almost all but ignore my sports teams. Others, I’m reading articles everyday and reading blog articles.

Figures do have the advantage of living outside of a binder.

Yes, we wish for the same thing. =3 Though there was another Miku I liked better than the love is war one. I think it was a MaxFactory thing that was just a sample.
