How many POPs do you add to your collection a month?

Postby **JohnnyPOP** » Wed Apr 13, 2016 5:46 pm

I think I typically get 5-10 a month? It just kind of varies, and it would be more right now if I wasn't also buying books every week. I'm starting to run out of shelf space but it's oddly motivating to me?

Postby **Ske7ch** » Wed Apr 13, 2016 6:03 pm

Less than a handfull.

Postby **Valde** » Wed Apr 13, 2016 6:06 pm

Probably 3-5. However Mystery Minis on the other hand is more like 10+.

I will phrase this in the form of an equation:

What I tell myself I will buy in a month = Z
What I actually buy in a month = Z x 10

glad I cut back a lot, this month 3 so far, but with hot cash going on, i'm sure a few more.

Postby **Stu** » Wed Apr 13, 2016 10:49 pm

I try to keep it to no more than five a month. I don't usually go for exclusives, so many of the Pops I look for are commons and available all the time and just about anywhere.

Now that I've caught up it depends
March 7

April I got one preordered

So far none in May

June 8 preordered atm

It def slows down if you've caught up with what you want
But I collect what I want I don't complete lines if I don't want the chracter or the 4 other versions I just skip lol

Postby **gruppetstudios** » Thu Apr 14, 2016 6:08 am

Yeah, only one or two.

Postby **Battastic** » Thu Apr 14, 2016 7:18 am

I have a 2 POP sub from pop-in-a-box, so I may get 2 at least. Other than that, it all just depends on what's coming out.
I loaded up on BvS & Pacman recently, but then moved on to minis and Dorbz when my POPs were completed.
I have a few POPs on preorder and a few Dorbz as well, but they are spread out between April - Sept.

About 10-12 I got a lot of other things to collect besides pops

Postby **WonderBoi** » Thu Apr 14, 2016 4:56 pm

My husband says it's about 15-20 a month. For other people, I easily am at about 40-50 a month.

Postby **DigsUT** » Fri Apr 15, 2016 4:00 pm

Depends on what I come across in stores and what I need to get to fill out my collection.

Postby **Trixt** » Fri Apr 15, 2016 5:20 pm

August - June maybe 4 or 5 a month, depends on releases really.

July: 50+

Postby **mistypop** » Fri Apr 15, 2016 9:38 pm

I'm currently on 104 pops, and been collecting for just over a year and a half now so it averages out to about 6 a month. However more realistically, when i first started collecting it would have been anywhere between 10-15 a month. I have drastically slowed down in the past 6 months or so, usually only adding 0-2 pops per month. This week I bought another 3 pops and that's the most I've bought in one go for a long time!

Postby **lukez** » Sat Apr 16, 2016 5:34 pm

On average now 0-5 per month. I started out buying 20 per month then relized that just wasn't practicle. So now I have narrowed it down to two lines and only get the ones from those lines I want. Saves on money and space.

Postby **nicole1313** » Sat Apr 16, 2016 5:40 pm

Consistently 30-40/month until the last couple of months.

Postby **jye-318** » Sun Jun 05, 2016 3:19 pm

50 a month since I just start three months ago, now have 150 pieces

Postby **WonderBoi** » Sun Jun 05, 2016 8:44 pm

Since February, my average is about 10-15 a month. And really, at this point, there are so many new licences, that is going to go up. It's exhausting,lolol

Postby **Jezter** » Mon Jun 06, 2016 1:01 pm

It changes depending on bills etc that we have to pay. In May I didn't get a single pop, which is killing me. I hope to get a couple this weekend, and then a couple in two weeks when I get paid again. For awhile I was averaging 4-5 a month, but it's not happening right now. Yay adult stuff.

Postby **Greeryboy2410** » Mon Jun 06, 2016 1:14 pm

I used to get 10+ per month, then I stopped at around October. Now I just get 2-3 every few months, and then MCC when that comes too

Postby **rkwo** » Mon Jun 06, 2016 11:29 pm

I probably average 20 a month. DC is killing me this month with Suicide Squad...9 commons and 8 variants. That's already 17 not counting the subscription box.

Postby **sushiguru** » Mon Jun 06, 2016 11:31 pm

i average about 25 - 30 figures a month.

Postby **Jaybrd1095** » Wed Jul 13, 2022 1:08 pm

This all depends on what comes out when, but I’d say on average I get 6-8 month. Some months I’ve bought 40

goin to cons can be expensive

We have been slowing down. We try to alwas just stick to things we collect or love otherwise our house wouldn't be big enough. LOL We probably have 500 of them floating around (I open a bunch....yes I know I'm crazy). I think these days we could go months without buying any and then suddenly buy like 10, really just depends on what is being released and what we want.

Postby **willy wonka** » Wed Jul 13, 2022 2:43 pm

Been slowing down as well as I don't find much out there that I want. Love sodas but other than the spastik sodas not much I am interested in

Postby **rexflexall** » Tue Jul 19, 2022 4:49 pm

Literally slowed down a ton!

Postby **BulletproofMarsh** » Tue Jul 26, 2022 4:52 pm

Use to be 5-8 a week easy now maybe 10 a month only exception would be if a con is happening that month.

Postby **fieldsy32** » Tue Jul 26, 2022 4:59 pm

Anywhere from 5-20. Depending on the month!

Postby **Oxayotl** » Tue Jul 26, 2022 5:44 pm

I've cut down a lot from a few years ago. But I'd still say something like 1-3 per month is pretty normal for me, averaged out. Not including months like this, with a lot of convention exclusives, of course.

Postby **supertoygiant** » Tue Jul 26, 2022 5:52 pm

I stopped counting a long time ago...

Postby **MPF223** » Tue Jul 26, 2022 5:53 pm

4-5 per month on average during the fall months the number is a lot higher

Postby **MPF223** » Tue Jul 26, 2022 5:55 pm

Postby **TheerealJT** » Tue Jul 26, 2022 6:06 pm

I’m at 1 per month max lol

. Just don’t have the space right now.

Postby **Stitch626** » Tue Jul 26, 2022 10:43 pm

I have scaled it down a lot. I would buy 10+ a month in the past but over the last two years, mayyybe 1-2 a month on average.

Website · Postby **tlaloc666** » Tue Jul 26, 2022 11:34 pm

I put a limit I my collection 600 Pop, other lines like wackys, spastiks etc, dont enter that limit.

I put that limit because I dont want to buy just for the hype, I really want the pieces that I need and enter my line collection, in that way if I want a new piece and im on the limit, another piece have to go..

Maybe im just crazy or this can sound a little silly, but thank to that limit, I can have the space to display all my pops and other lines, plus my other collections ( donald duck vinylmation, spawn, urban aztec pieces, bruce lee round 5 set )

Postby **jagpop** » Wed Jul 27, 2022 12:07 pm

My going rate is 1-2 per month. I downsized a little and I'm trying really hard to do a one in, one out. But with all the fire that comes out, they are starting to accumulate again. lol

Postby **Chingy** » Wed Jul 27, 2022 12:16 pm

We usually add 1-2/month but July skews the average because of SDCC. I think we added 14 just from Comic-Con.

Good point. I'm jumping on this answer as mine too.

Postby **Ginzo1622** » Wed Jul 27, 2022 1:05 pm

Really depends. Sometimes 0, sometimes 20 or more. I think this is really dependent on what your collecting
