I had to let some go, but I usually go for low count that I like. I’m picky and limited with space.

I am curious, especially from those who are long time collectors, how many do you add to your collection (on average) in a month? I know some months are going to be higher because of releases that interest you, but what kind of rabbit hole have I found myself in?


At one point it was atleast like 3 a month grails too :roflmao:

Being that space is a becoming a major concern for everyone these days, it’s been falling drastically in the last 2 years. Right now, it’s a miracle if I get 5 a month :cheers:

Yeah, I used to be addicted (still am, technically). Used to buy like 10-20 pops a week, but now it's 1 a week maybe. All my Funko money has been going to Lorcana though haha

I've been downsizing my collection, but I still buy 10-25 Pops a month. My collection is mostly Disney and Star Wars now, so I buy those when Funko releases them.

Hmmm right now its a bit slow but I do downsize about 4 times a year. This allows me to look at what I have and what the ones I don't want to do with.

We collect as a family of four at this point and it used to be 5-10 a month depending on the month. Now with space issues it’s a quite a bit less. We’ve moved to collecting pops or sodas that blow us away.

I don't add many per month. Usually I will add something from a convention when I go. It ends up being a couple of times per year.
