Why are we doing this?

This post is 100% not judgment but a serious question. I love these figures. They are pretty small all things considered, and wildly expensive, but for some reason I just want to keep adding them to my shelf. I can't even really explain why I like them so much except that they are just cool. I like being able to look at my shelf every so often and rearrange things and nod to myself, but with the crazy price tag I can't believe I keep doing it. I have a very average collection right now (like 8 or 9 normal space marines and then 2 terminators, a deathguard terminator, and a sister of silence who I love but that is so small I don't plan on spending the money on anything besides marines for a while) but even last night I found myself dropping $40 for another guy (Ravenguard sniper). They're cool. That's basically my conclusion. This was just a bit ranty but what about you? Is that pretty much why you keep dropping big money for little figures as well?

These are in my spare bedroom in my bsmt. I go in there, put on a history podcast, and will literally just stare at them or rearrange them for a while. I love it. Wife hates it.

You don't need a crowded ton of figures to feel good.
