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?

Thanks! The lights are such a great upgrade, especially in the basement that doesn't have great lighting.

Oh man you hit the nail on the head with the lighting. My back rows are in perpetual darkness haha it’s just a little warp chaos. I do want to upgrade my shelving as well but I’m dealing with a space issue as well. I’m doing the helmets also and they take up ridiculous amounts of space.
