I think it's the sort of thing, either you're a collector or not. I like collecting things, it's just... very enjoyable? Probably the same reason a lot of people prefer paper books to data books, even if the content is exactly the same. I like finding new things have come out, I like finding good deals on them, I like having a reason to go into multiple stores hunting for hard to find toys, I like taking them and displaying them on shelves where I can see them. Heck, I even enjoy completing a 'set' of things. With some things there's also the knowledge if I wait I might not be able to buy it anymore, or at least not for as cheaply as I can now.

And either you like that, or you don't. I can understand feeling a little left out though when your friends are so excited and happy about something that doesn't appeal to you at all.

Wanted to add too, like any hobby it can get out of hand. I understand being mad at people who complain about not being able to afford things but have tons of blu rays, or video games, or smoke every day, or go out drinking, or whatever.

But for me when I collected Monster High dolls, $20 a month for one new doll wasn't that bad and I was perfectly happy to have that be my 'fun' budget instead of going to the movies, or going out to eat. I got more lasting enjoyment out of getting a new doll and just cooking for myself than I would from a trip to Applebees.
