I was just wondering what some of you other Collectors spend per Month on our Joe Hobby?The reason i'm wondering is the last couple Months i've been on a Joe buying Binge,and I wanted to see how my spending matches up to others in our Hobby.I don't think i'm on the top spending level,I think i'm probably right in the Middle.

That was when I was trying to complete my collection of all of the original figure. (You can imagine how hard it was to get a Viper Glider Pilot and a V1 Payload ). Now It is on an as needed basis. If I see a good deal on ebay, I will throw in a bid. But Now I am trying to fix up some of the vehicles and am just waiting for the right parts to present themselves. Along with the occasional 25th figure. so probably 30 to 40 dollars a month. __________________ Chuck Norris doesn't Tea Bag. He Potato Sacks.

Outrider It's been a great ride! Offline --> Posts: 14,302 --> Join Date: Jun 2005	I don't have a limit. How much I spend depends on what's available. If there is something I want, I buy it. My wife doesn't mind because I don't spend a lot on other stuff, so Joes are my indulgence.

Now, sometimes, I'll get star wars figs if I don't see anything worth buying, so not everything I spend goes into GIJoe. I try to only buy at retail because shipping online for new figs is generally a ripoff, but sometimes, I have no choice.

Its just so hard when you know if you find something, you had better get it cuz you dont know if you will find it again!! Im trying to sell some reproduction security cameras that i made and some walkways, But i dont know how to market them. So if anyones interested let me know...

I've spent more on Star Wars this year than I've spent on GI JOE in the past two years, since I'm not into 25th figures (I have picked up a few vehicles.) And if Star Wars hadn't increased overall articulation a few years ago...I wouldn't have much interest in them at all.

4-Cobra OUTRIDER,Always Remember. Offline --> Posts: 590 --> Join Date: May 2008	Well now that I see i'm not crazy for spending what I do,it makes me feel alot better. I'm usually around $100 or so a Month,but the last couple i've been Army Building like crazy & buying the new Vehicles so i've doubled my usual amount.And like Outrider & Flatline alot of my spending depends on what I want at the time,and when a good deal rolls around.I'm glad i'm not into the new 25th Figures because if I had to get those plus all the older Figures I like,i'd definitely be BROKE!

zedhatch Veteran Offline --> Posts: 1,055 --> Join Date: Feb 2005	I don't try to make a number out of it, but the past month I have been over (what its like 4 waves in 5 weeks now?) any sencible amount. My wife doesn't mind until it eats into the "Life" budget and she is really quick to point it out. This month I got a chewing, next month should be better.
