I had a very small collection of G1 figures from the 80's. Almost 10 years ago, I started getting TF from eBay. Before I knew it, I was hoarding figures like crazy. I felt the need to buy every G1 figure that was missing in my collection. I bought the vintage and reissue versions. Everything that was remotely G1-like, I had to buy. When I was on vacation, I hunted down G1 figures. I expanded my collection to include 3rd party TF, SD-sizes, WST, statues, Classics, Universe and Masterpieces. My bedroom was full of storage boxes of TF piled up to the ceiling.
I had no space to display them, but I kept them to fill voids in my life. I decided to part with most of it. I think I sold about 80% of my collection. I feel truly liberated. I'm still selling them and plan to only keep the figures most dear to me. Now that my collection has become significantly smaller, I appreciate each figure a lot more.
