It's been slowing down for me. I remember I used to pull so many wants but now I don't even bother anymore. I get maybe less than 5 and if the drop for NFTs is good, I go for those too.

I'm down to maybe 1-2 a month now. After 900+ my room feels like a warehouse and it's no longer easy to display

I’ve always been more fond of the idea that it’s ridiculously absurd, but if I don’t ever truly acknowledge the actual number, I don’t ever have to feel silly over it

WOW I bet you are running out of space. I’ve had to be real selective,I’m not too good on purging, I look and go no, I like that one.
You have to Marie Kondo it and ask yourself “Does this spark joy?” haha but in all seriousness it’s hard to be selective with so many marvel pops out there and others -_-
For every single one I buy, Yes, years later, it still "Sparks Joy" Now if I got a mystery box or a subscription box, I can usually part with those but save for toy drives.

Re: How many POPs do you add to your collection a month?
I personally do them in waves, usually whenever a new set drops I'll pick up the entire set if at all possible, or if there's a convention release, I'll sometimes pick those up all at once as well. Little one offs are rare unless I see a chase or a rare in the wild.

Re: How many POPs do you add to your collection a month?
I only really try to collect those that corespond to the lines I already have-
but maybe 2-3 a month?
I've tried slowing down due to space, but I just love the little guys. And they are taking over my office

Re: How many POPs do you add to your collection a month?
My husband and I add too many Pops every month.
We are probably buying 15-20 per month. Although some months are less depending on whats come out. It's a little bit out of control.

Only about 3-5 per month at this point which are usually just protos or pieces I want to out of box collect. After collecting 1000+ pops and trading, giving away or selling a vast majority, it’s just quality over quantity for me nowadays.

Pretty standard for me too and I'm still less than a year into collecting. Gotta think about the long term.

I can go months without adding any but then next season I buy every week. For me I let fate brings the pops to me. Even sometimes my gurl makes custom pops which I love.

Re: How many POPs do you add to your collection a month?
It depends on the month. Last month, between SDCC and Fundays, we added around 50. This month, we've added close to 15 half way through the month. Around Christmas and Halloween, I'm sure it will be close to 20-25 at the very least.

Re: How many POPs do you add to your collection a month?
When I first started collecting it was a lot, because there were so many that I wanted. Between mall runs and mail calls it was filling up our house real fast. Now I'm a little more selective due to space. I try and save my purchases for ones that fit into my collection and space.

I think this happens to everyone until they realize that they have too many

Re: How many POPs do you add to your collection a month?
Month to month I can't really track because there are a lot of months where I am not adding anything. So if I were to average everything I would say I'm in the 20-30 a year range. It depends on what conventions I am going to or if I am attending a Funko event that's handing out pops. I don't have a lot of room to display/store pops beyond what I have collected already so I need to be selective in what I buy.

20 to 30 a year is a healthy range. The last few years I was well over 100 each, but I am trying to cut back as well just because of finances and 25 or so for the year is my goal. It also feels a little more fulfilling when you get a Pop and it’s something that you love and fits in the collection instead of it being something random that was just kinda interesting.
Please Funko make Taylor Swift Pops!

It was really interesting reading this thread and how it varies. It certainly seems to be a trend that people start off fast then slow down or at least refine.

100% the same thing with me. I even got my home office set up during COVID but running out of space there.

Agree. I went a little wild in the beginning. Not that I didn't like them, but there were just too many. I wasn't focused on what I really wanted.

Re: How many POPs do you add to your collection a month?
Some months are a little scary adding 20-25 Pops but I try to stay focused and add maybe 5-6 a month. I am concentrating on One Piece and horror grails at the moment.

Re: How many POPs do you add to your collection a month?
I use to buy a ton at a time cause they were from animes that I liked but now I barely buy 1 a month. Mostly due to space, being extra picky, and cause I want to travel more so the less I spend the better. However, if I see a pop I really want I'm not afraid to buy it

It depends on what’s announced! It could be zero and it could be 10+. I’m pretty selective at this point due to space constraints but try to make it work!

It used to be 20+ a month.
Now it's probably closer to 5-10 per month.

Now that I'm focusing on older lines, most cost quite a bit. So it's usually 1-2 per month. But I also sell some off during the course of the month.

for me I don't have a set amount I get each month. I tend to let the item come to me. Which is my recommendation to new collectors; to not put alot of importance on getting getting getting. Appreciate what you have so far and create more good feelings with bonding, take pics, pose them, make dioramas etc. That being said I do notice I tend to get about 10 to 40 pops during releases and maybe 3 to 5 during a lull.
