Where do you draw the line and stop collecting/buying new stuff?

Due to the sheer mass of new TMNT merch that has been released since 2012, collecting TMNT toys, statues, figures, etc. is no longer feasible. There is just too much, and most of the high end collectables are now $200-$300. Eventually you have to put your foot down and say, enough is enough.

For the most part I've stopped because aside from money, I figure its just nice to look at pictures of all this new stuff rather than owning it. I don't have much shelf space and just putting stuff away in storage/closets, etc. where they can't be displayed defeats the purpose. So what's the point, really?

The only TMNT stuff I collect nowadays are the comics (but only trades now, I even sold all my single issues), and DVDs of the cartoons if that counts, and I still have my old 80's/90's TMNT toy collection from my childhood, but I no longer buy new stuff. I even sold off almost all my 2k3 figures and I had nearly the entire catalog.
