I think... collecting is expensive, and we can sometimes view our collections as, if not literal investments, then as tied-up resources. We get this feeling sometimes like we need to have a roadmap for where we're going with our collecting, making sure we fit our boundaries, and I don't think that's very fun?

If you get a bunch of Lego stuff and decide you don't want it any more, sell it on eBay or in a forum. If you get Premium SO-DO and it's not doing it for you, same answer: sell 'em, and put the money towards something else. Think of it less like you spent money on something you didn't keep, and more like you paid a fraction of the cost to rent it. It's okay to move on from collecting stuff, so don't feel like you're committing to some lifelong project.

I'll admit that this is maybe not the advice you're looking for, but the very fact that you're looking for advice means you want to predict a future that's unknowable. The hard truth is that nearly any choice you make is going to have you wondering if you made the right one. The trick, then, is to make each choice in sequence. Try one thing, and keep in mind that you can always choose a different thing later.

(That said! I'll always suggest people put some money into display space. A good cabinet isn't even more expensive than a few import toys, and you can use it for years.)

Thank you, that's some good advice. I think I will go ahead and put some money into getting some display space set up before I buy anything else

Next SO-DO Gaim wave: Kiwami, Ryugen Yomi, and Lord Baron

Are the first 5 pics broken for anyone else?

I can definitely understand being disappointed with Chronicle Gaim post wave 1. I haven't watched the series, and from what I've heard about it's edginess, it's not really a priority for me, but in a series with such a large number of Riders it really is a bummer to just make what I assume are the main four. It's nice that they completed all of their major forms, but doing that sort of stuff as P-Bandai would be guaranteed to sell, while I worry that if all 20 or so other Riders are exclusives, they won't sell well enough to make all of them. Hell, from a show that prints money like Den-O, they only made Den-O, Zeronos, New Den-O and Nega Den-O. While stuff like mini Den-O or Pretty Den-O wss always a stretch, I'm really surprised they never made Gaoh, Yuuki or G Den-O
