Not all that fun anymore at all. It's really the availability that has killed it for me. Everything feels like it's limited, even if it isn't. You can't collect at your own pace anymore. There's too much urgency to buy what you want as soon as it comes available or else you might not get it again at retail and have to pay scalper prices. You don't have that freedom anymore of saying "I'll buy this figure later" it's only "I have to buy this figure now or I might not be able to later". It just makes thing more stressful than it has to be. As is running around chasing store exclusives of characters that should have had regular retail releases. What happened to exclusives only being repaints or variants?
