The voice of reason! I've heard many people online (people who I respect, no fault to them) Rave about certain releases and how you "need" or "should really consider buying" them, only for the same people to sell them/change their opinion on said releases. Interests change I get it, but your advice on why you should buy is pretty solid and a good reality check
This is probably one of your best videos. Lots of great advice many of us have learned through the years.
I love these type of videos. This is the kind of discussion we need to be having. Thanks for keeping it real
One thing I would add is knowing when to get out. When buying figures becomes more of a chore than a joy, it's time to take your interests in a new direction.
🍿Always a good day when Keco drops a video
Great video! I asked myself that question some time ago when boxing everything up for a big move to another state. I actually had a panic attack! "What the heck am I doing this for, why do I have so many toys. What am I going to do with all of this stuff??" Mind you, I don't get caught up with trying to get every figure that comes out or complete a set of whatever. But I'll tell you this, my life is less stressful and my bank account has increased tenfold by not collecting as much or wasting money on things I don't need. One last thing, I had not and will NEVER be influenced by some cat on RUclips with their large collections in the background! I personally think that in most cases, they can't even afford what they have! Also, they mean nothing to me! I don't know them, and they definitely are not friends of mine and vice versa. More to life than keeping up with the joneses! Be smart, be responsible. My nickels worth of free advice!
Personally I can’t resist upgrading my childhood Mego and Starwars toys. It’s the way I wanted them to look back then, and brings back that feeling of getting a new figure. Space isn’t an issue.
Wise words, Keco! WISE WORDS!!
Instructions unclear. Pre ordered another figure. YAHTZEEEEE
I've asked myself how I got to the point of having such a large collection that it's taking over my space. I started collecting in 2020, I was incarcerated for 9 years and came home to a pandemic. My first hot toy was a Star Lord, it was gifted to me from a friend. I was instantly in love with the quality and slowly started to accumulate. Sometimes I feel like I was filling a void, I was free from my substance abuse and for the first time in my life I was able to have nice things. It really snowballed from there. And yes I am definitely out of space. I have slowed down with my collecting and only buy figs that I really want.
I’ve actually thrown boxes away. If I had to resell, I’m cool with taking the hit. Other than a life altering event, I don’t plan on selling anything that I purchase. I don’t need a collection of boxes in my closet or another room.
The best advice to prevent people from FOMO. I ask these questions all the time, and will be doing it yet again for inart Joaquin when the time comes...my bills seasons misery tickets I have to budget for, and the rest I pick and choose with the remaining fun money budget. Otherwise you will lose space and accumulate debt quickly.
I always like the video before the intro even starts rolling because I know these videos are very helpful to me as a 1/6th collector. Yes buying new figures is fun, unboxing them is fun, displaying them is fun.. but all that comes down to self control and know exactly what you’re collecting and putting on your shelves as a collector.
Great video!! I’m actually at a point now where I have too many collectibles. I’m finding that I was happier when my collection was smaller. I also think about how some figures I really wanted go on the shelf and don’t get touched afterwards, and how that money is better in my account than in a cabinet.
I have my figures in boxes, but that’s just because I’m a college student who lives in a small room lol. Once I move into my apartment in August I plan on buying something to displaying them.
I've only had one figure since 2017 - it was a must have for me and I still had to talk myself into forking out the money for it. Just now in 2024 I bought three more, and one of them is one that came out around 2017 that I really admired but again, I just couldn't talk myself into paying the price. The ones I just got in the past three weeks I paid less than they cost when they came out brand new and I got them new in box for less than people are even selling them opened and used. I set my budget at around $200 out the door with shipping. I bought a figure for $165 that Sideshow sells right now at $264. If I can get the figures that I want at my budget of around $200 out the door, then I grab the ones that I want. So I'm still waiting for my last two to arrive (one is actually out for delivery now) but I think I'm happy with the four that I got and if I made it from 2017 to 2024 with only one, I probably won't be buying another for a long time.
Amazing video Keco! These should be questions we should be all asking ourselves, I especially loved the last 2 questions you mentioned in your video, and it literally comes down to financial responsibility. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️
Thank you so much Keco! This was so incredibly helpful.😊
I have to control myself on buying figures because of space
I need your help!! Keep the videos coming. The voice of reason I had seen in the comments fits perfectly. I know I have a problem and currently working on it with my partner. I have two figures preordered this year. For me thats amazing as there could be anywhere between 10 and 15 by this time in previous years.
