Wow, Just 5 years ago any one of us would have killed for a valk of the quality thats available now. If your burned out, only buy what really sparks your interest. I bought my first macross item in two years just a couple of weeks ago. Don't worry about keeping up with everybody else. Just prioritize get what you want and be thankful you have the choices that are available today.
I do have to admit that 2-3 years back I got caught up in the gotta have em all syndrome. I had to take a step back and re-prioritize what was important. I ended up selling off more than half of my collection. I agree that these things are expensive but think of the guys that dropped a grand on the old taku valks. Just be thankful that were not stuck with sub-par toys and remember it shouldn't be a race to see who can have the most valks.
