Well, if you missed any, eBay is a good resource.  I've picked up a lot of mine that I missed that way.  Also if what you want isn't on, it usually shows up sooner or later. 

It is a sickness.  I admit it!!

The only plus - the ONLY one - is that I am NOT falling into the habit of buying them all just to have them. I'm only buying the ones that are both characters and sculpts that I like. 

For instance, if the Barda or the Orion look unappealing to me, Mister Miracle will be solo. Period. I like Plastic Man and Metamorpho as characters, and would love to have them represented in my collection somehow... but not with the figures they have through Eaglemoss. 

I'm not being a completionist here, and as much of an addiction as I can say these things are becoming, I actually went through and figured out which characters I liked and which sculpts I liked, and so far I'm at 40 something out of whatever they're on, including tentative ones like the Barda, Orion, etc. So we'll see if I eventually order all 40 of those, but I won't be getting all of them by any stretch of the imagination. 

Thank Jeebus!

I really need to start easing up on my DC purchases. The space I dedicated to them, thinking I wouldn't be buying many, is already nearly full. I'm catching heat from the not-so-patient wife as well, so no more 'oooo, nice sculpt!' buys. My Marvel display at work is almost full again as well, meaning my X-characters will probably come home to make space. Damn Landru.

At the very least I know I'll never buy Hitman! Ever! So right there, I'm cutting back on a full set!

See? It's easy!

I'll see your Hitman and raise you Brainiac. I'm way ahead of the game.

Ooh... Brainiac. You know, not a huge fan of that sculpt (though I like it when Gary Frank draws it but he draws pretty) and it's Brainiac... The guy's had so many forms that it's almost justifiab....

DAMNIT DAMNIT DAMNIT! No! NO NO NO!

Okay, no Brainiac. No Brainiac. No Cosmic Boy because even though I'm getting into the Legion finally, I don't like the sculpt. No Hitman. No Red Arrow, Roy is either Speedy or Arsenal. No Doctor Light, too many bad memories of Identity Crisis. 

It's okay, it's okay. I can get through this without all of them. It's easy. EASY. 

Test on! I'm ready for you!

Definitely getting Barda. Big pass on Captain Atom. Power Girl is nice, but I think the Women of DC...busts...did her better (geez, there's just no way to talk about her without it sounding like innuendo).
