General Marvel Legends

Depends on how you count things like Lego Minifigs and Minimates, but I'm over 10K figures and hit capacity in my basement. Just started listing stuff on eBay for the first time this week.

Anyone else ever had the situation where you know your had a certain figure... and your trying to find it in your display... and when you dont find it right off you think damn... did I get rid of it??? then you decide to go and buy it again (at a premium price) only to find it afterwards either in the display or in a box?

I had that happen the other day when I was going through my McFarlane DC Multiverse bin and found two Connor Kent Supeboys. What the hell? I must have bought the second one not realizing that I had already bought the first.
 
Usually it happens to me with pre-orders I've forgotten I placed and then order again. It is very rare for me to forget a figure I own.

I have done with comic back issues - trying to fill gaps and forgetting a specific issue is already in the long boxes.

I've never had that happen. How many figures do you guys own? I've got like 350 and I've never lost track of one.

I have easily more than 1200 figures just in 1/12th scale... probably a couple hundred 1/6th scale...

Discogs and CLZ Comics certainly helped the double buying in those areas. Took me like 3 years to enter my record collection into Discogs. I still make mistakes with CLZ but they are definitely less.

man... I used to have 1k plus records... and a few k CDs... I went through and got rid everything except rare stuff that you really can't get digitally... and/or anything with just a one hit wonder. that pared it down pretty good.

Ahhh crap... yeah... I wasn't thinking about those! just triple my number because those things are small and take up less space... but somehow the overall display is the same size as 1/12th! Once you go down the hole of army building in SW... your numbers go up fast!
 
If you guys remember the paid forum on Fwoosh, called Froosh, that came from a typo that Adrian (I believe that's the name of the guy who owned action-figure.com) made regarding Fwoosh, after a Toy Fair or SDCC or something. I forget what the "lomos" meant, but he didn't seem to actually know the name of the site, or was trolling it, or was high or something when he typed it. I don't know if there are enough of us here who would remember any of this. But I'm not second guessing myself. I just don't have much more info to verify the story.
 
I sometimes forgot I own certain Star Wars TVC figs. I haven't opened most of those figs going on a decade now but I still collect them because one day I want to, and I love the worldbuilding available at that scale with the playsets, but I'm always on the verge to sell that stuff off.

And then I forgot a certain character came out or I picked up prior and because I never opened it, just forgot about.

This happens to me when things go on sale as well - I suddenly have multiple Deadpool & Wolverine Wave 2 figs trying to mix and match for the best price. It quickly becomes overwhelming before I get around to returning most.
 
Damn. You guys own far more than me. Like I said I have 350 figures or so, and I want to get down to 250 or so. I couldn't imagine collections of figures that large.
