It used to be 5-10 a month. Now it’s slowed to about 1-2 a quarter.

I don’t add any anymore. Partly due to space and partly due to nothing new interests me. I do like sports Pops but again, have no space to put them.

In the past month, I added the white suit Lewis Hamilton to the F1 collection. Not much else was on my radar. Next month with NYCC approaching its a different story.

Like others have stated, I think space is the biggest factor, so I usually try to pick absolutely must-haves only.

Even the ones I got at only 10% off were worth it because eventually you qualified for free shipping

Now, of new releases maybe 5-10. Of the older Pops, I find them and take them out of box (so maybe 5-8 there).

Definitely no more than a handful a year! I hadn't bought any pops in a group in 2024 until I hit Fundays!

I am trying to not add any, but these fingers have a mind of their own and sometimes I get these packages containing more.

I usually average like 1-2 new pops a month but will try to even things out by purging the same amount that I receive in new pops.

Same for me. Space /storage getting real tight for funkos, so have to be much more selective with them now :-k

At first I was buying pops left and right to the point where I had like 200 in 1 year. I ended up slowing down and tried to only collect limited piece pops, anime pops or older pops that I didn't even know existed. I think as a collector I tend to order doubles of 1 pop due to the fear of box damage.

I’ve bought some this year, but have been trying to reduce the size of my collection for space issues. On average, I’ve probably bought 1-2 per month this year, but have a net decrease in collection size by being more specific in what I collect and keep.

it's pretty cyclical for me. usually around convention season I'll pick up a few here and there, those seem to be when Funko releases some of their best pops. otherwise, I'll wait a bit and buy a bunch all at once when there's a good sale going on.

I find I add by seasons of conventions. Like July and October I know there's gonna be an increase. Then ever other time is random.

I have decided to do this too, and make myself sell/give away at least one for every one I add. I have been out of space for at least a year now.

I’m trying to be 4 or so a month, but this month I have bought 10.
