The Great Collection Curation Support Group Thread

I hate to think how many figures I have that ought to go. Hundreds if not thousands of figures - I really would need a multi-car garage to have space to display it all, which is nuts to think about. Right now I have a storage room after I moved and have less space than before.

I am going to do it slowly and start with the smaller lines, keep just one of each character and decide how many side characters I really want (that to me is how the collections got out of control - 17 Kirks and Spocks plus one shot things like Pike and then TNG and DS9 and Enterprise - need to get those back to a core), figure out how to display it, do that and sell the rest.

I don't even want to think about culling Star Wars and Legends and Microman ... need to do it team by team or group by group or film by film.

I like @Enforcer 's ide of selling in bulk. At this point I don't care that much about how much I might get back. Kind of like my comics, I need to remind myself I bought many of these toys for $5 over 30 years ago or more, the fact they might be worth anything is a bonus.

Can anyone else remember where they bought most of their figures? I have thousands at this point and I can remember where I got the vast majority of them, stretching over 30+ years. Selling some of them feels like selling a family photo album.

I can't even remember what I have half the time - I often open up a box I had filled as I rotated displays and suddenly remember I have Futurama figures, or Young Justice, or whatever.

I know where I shopped in general (Kay Bee, TRU, Target, Walmart and then BBTS for online) but one reason I never got into the "pre-order from multiple places" to get it first thing is I can't recall probably within a few years anymore when half of the stuff was even made, let alone if I got it 2 weeks sooner than most collectors.
