I rarely add anything now to my collection. Random Freddys here and there but otherwise I sit here pining for the dead lines that I collect to ressurect.

Re: How many POPs do you add to your collection a month?
I have recently been taking a break from collecting but realized the collection has a lot of gaps in the office line and demon slayers. Picked up enmu yesterday.

It used to be around 10 a month but now I'm down to 1 or 2. I'm sticking more to grails now since I don't have much room to display!

It really stinks running out of space I’ve had to downgrade significantly but it’s starting to creep up again

Re: How many POPs do you add to your collection a month?
Maybe 1 or 2, outside of conventions and Funko events. It depends on what's being released in a given month, what our favorite local collectibles shops receive in their shipments, if we have preorders that arrive in-store or at our front door, or if a grail pops up that we can't pass up.

Re: How many POPs do you add to your collection a month?
usually depends on what's out there and what I'm interested in. it's slowed down a bit since I first started collecting. maybe 1-2 every other month.

When I first started 4 years ago, it would be 10-25 a month. Now more like 1-5 at very best.

Re: How many POPs do you add to your collection a month?
I add roughly 20 per month but it really depends on how much is released. These days, things are a bit slow but we still get a good amount of pops rolling in every week.

At this moment i getting rid off of more pops than buying new ones, i think 1-2 per month because i want to concentrate in specific ones and dont waste my time with just garbage.

Re: How many POPs do you add to your collection a month?
So if you are new to it, it’s totally understandable. I was crazy crazy in the beginning too… but just as a reference, at that time, I literally didn’t spend money on anything else, I didn’t go out to eat, I didn’t shop for non-funko things… in the span of my first 8 months… I bought over 1000 pops… and I definitely dipped into my savings…
But after that I’ve calmed down A LOT, I don’t buy every single cute thing out there anymore. Now I have specific genre and series I stick to so I just focus on that. And I also try my best to not buy from the secondary market at really high prices if I can help it.
But uhh yeah, don’t follow my footsteps, just be chill and collect what you like or LOVE and just enjoy while still being financially responsible

Re: How many POPs do you add to your collection a month?
I don't really get pops nonstop, just in spurts as they get released (usually in waves). So I guess the best answer might be 1 or 2 maybe at best? More accurate to say it usually goes more like I'll end up buying 5-7 pops one month and then zero for the four months following until something else is released.

I really only add to the collection around conventions now. On occasion I will buy one or two, but I can't keep up with the retail waves anymore.

Re: How many POPs do you add to your collection a month?
I try to get at least 2 per month, some months without buying but saving for missing pieces. It really depends If it has a Con, New wave, or find something I was looking for (and price). And the Pre-order date and shipping date, hehe.
For example last month (SDCC) I got like 10 Pops, and 6 Pre-orders, but the arrival date could change, Looking for the Freddy Hall H. Also, if they release a new wave of a line a have or a waiting Title. For Example, when Simpsons Treehouse of Horror, I will try to get them all. Some Preorders did (itchy and scratchy 2 pack done 3 months ago) and waiting for the other exclusives without a Date, as the new Willie FS exclusive.

Conventions is a whole other budget and usually removal around me actually attending them.

Re: How many POPs do you add to your collection a month?
Since I try to stick with just DC, I would say 1-3 a month if that. The older DC ones are the hardest to collect/find.

15-20 has probably been my average lately too, but I also need to slow down. I am totally out of space. I don’t think I can do 1 to 3 though

Re: How many POPs do you add to your collection a month?
I have been collecting for over a decade, and at first i was trying to complete all the waves, all variants etc. in last several years i had to cut out certain franchises then tried to stick with anime because at the point there weren't so many waves coming out at the time. but then there were, s i had to change things again. now i'm trying t get the "needs" and not get every variant or every one in a wave. I was collecting from marvel,dc, star wars, anime. like i was saying, now i'm just trying t get the needs. now i'm not picking up as much as i was. before SDCC and bought pops there, I bought one before star wars celebration; to get Temuera to sign one. Before that, think it was several months.Think the last ones I had gotten were the Anbu Kakashi set, Grogu on the seeing stone, and Grogu using the force...and the force ghost 3 pack. There are 2 i need to pre-order but i haven't done so yet.

Re: How many POPs do you add to your collection a month?
I've definitely slowed down. Space issues have forced me to pick a few lines to focus on, and then I allow myself to collect holiday pieces (Christmas and Halloween) that only need to be out sometimes. But it varies, depending on what is released. Sometimes it's zero. Sometimes 5-10.

the more pops I get the more my monthly purchase rate grows. I bought maybe 5 to 10 a month at first 4 years ago, now I find myself buying 10 to 20 a month.

Re: How many POPs do you add to your collection a month?
I’m at a point where I have to be selective with what we add since we have limited space now . So It varies from month to month.
