It’s a lesson you unfortunately won’t learn at first XD
But I think collecting is far better the way I do now.
You don’t have to divide your attention on multiple figures and so you have more fun with every single one and time to appreciate your stuff more 😉

“Less figure purchases = more enjoyment for every single figure” This is actually kinda true xD I found I actually enjoy this hobby a bit more once I slowed down, more time to invest in a single one of them and stuffs.

Yes, it’s probably a good way to prevent yourself from having too many figures after a year.
still when I order less figures and a few delays happen it can become problematic.
Without any incoming figures for more than two months, I develop a pent up desire for new figures material ;D
I always keep an close eye on my figure expenses list, to prevent any shocking surprises later ^^

Haha, well nobody is perfect ;D With buying less figures, I got careless about doll clothes, until it was “too late” ahhhh!
Yeah, follow my example, but rather with figures, yet you could also invest in more doll clothes lol.
The delays also messed up my plans a little, I used combined shipping more often this year.
Ahaha, no please no doll #4, I would have no idea for another custom doll anyway ^^

I too have found that the fewer figures I purchase, the more I enjoy them. When I limit myself, I only order what I REALLY want, and that usually means I am more careful and thoughtful about the figures I order. I’m always really nervous at the end of the year because I don’t want to see how much I spent on figures. XD But I suppose it’s better to know your expenses in the end.

Hahaha… as started reading I just kept thinking, it’s cool and all that figure expenses were down but didn’t doll expenses make up for it?

I think a nice controlled plan is the best, 2-3 figures a month seems like the ideal given the increasing prices. This year delays sure made a mess of things for me and figmas coming increasingly close to scaled figure prices sure have put a damper on things.

But hey, next year is looking good for you. I see doll #4 in the new year, trust me. ;P

No, no. this was crazy this year, I got carried away (⁄ ⁄^⁄ᗨ⁄^⁄ ⁄)
I practically bought 2 Dollffie bodies, this won’t happen in 2016.
Yes, it’s exactly how you imagine, I could easily decide to buy 2 figures every months,
but keeping it moderate is better for me, by all means ^^

Oh, I see. even though they produce so many male figures these days 😉
Ah, thats too bad, such a mean car ( ；´Д｀)

In reply to Aya. Oh a little early, but thank you Aya ヾ(＾∇＾) Ahaha how mean ┐(´-｀)┌, I guess I could have passed on 4 more figures, but not more.

Do you think your expenses in the fashion doll category will increase in the coming year? And do you pat yourself on the shoulder if you spent nothing a particular month?

As for me, I spent nothing once again this year on figures because my money goes to expenses to Tokyo and also fixing my beat up car. I wanted to buy the Stormtrooper nendoroid though lol.

Happy New Year XD

Honestly your doll spending not surprise me, but I was expect the figures spending will be much less which isn’t true after all XD
