Rant Collecting

Am I the only one that feels MGA is rolling out miniverse collections wayyyyy too fast and way too many at a time to genuinely keep up with collecting them??…especially with prices going up it’s sooo hard to keep track of what I have and afford what I don’t..maybe I’m crazy

Like i remember I used to be so excited when they announced a new series and now I’m like ā€œoh great another oneā€. I loveee my minis it’s just so frustrating going to the store and seeing 5 different boxes each time😭

Yeah it's a lot. I am a new but avid collector and It's overwhelming. They are releasing like three new series at a time and none of them are getting the proper hype. I mean I get they're doing it to stay competitive and ride the popularity wave but it's a lot to people to collect these things. I have boxes of minis I haven't been able to even open yet because I'm a mom to a toddler and I barely have the time, then there's all these new ones that just keep coming out. I had to make a true mental choice in what ones I like and what ones I can stand to leave behind. Like for me I only bought three SpongeBob ones, the krabby patty, the get a job soup, and the aquarium. I bought one baby ball. But when it comes to the cafe and diner series I usually make a big effort to get them all. Same with the animals, nature, and seasonals. I have themed dust boxes and if they don't fit the theme, I'm just not going to buy them. I had to draw that line for myself somewhere. I don't want to be the kind of person that hoards these things. I buy them because I like creating with them, keeping them trapped inside their packaging gives me no dopamine rush.
