I have WAY too many figures... What should I do?

Feel free to discuss anything about any of the thousands of Transformer toys here. Anything from Generation 1 all the way to the soon to be released, the never to be released or the hope to be released is fair game! Want to show off your stuff? Please post your's and see others in the Transformers Collections Forum.

If you actually bust them out and get use out of them once in a while, then they're maybe worth keeping. The ones you'll never display or pay any attention to...I say get rid of them. I'm in a similar position. My collection is probably 'only' half that size, but I only have a couple hundred figs displayed...and don't think I need much more than my Classics and MPs on display. I've started unloading some of my stuff at local meet-ups, but I wish I'd get a little more motivated and unload a lot more of it. I think my biggest hang up is that I don't have the shipping material to sell 100+ figures separately and question how profitable the venture would be if I bought the necessary stuff to do so...and by profitable, I mean not take huge losses and/or practically give the things away. I don't actually plan to come out ahead, I just want to be in the ballpark of breaking even.

I just sold a bunch of TFs I didn't need or like on eBay, and I have bought myself Perfect Effect Rewinder and Ejector with some of the funds. So now I will have two tiny robots who I will absolutely love, instead of several I either don't need or dislike. So I have saved myself space and gone for quality. I actually feel liberated for getting rid of some of my collection :D

Maybe start small first, just to be sure that you don't feel really awful when you let them go.
