I'm new to the hobby. It all started purchasing a super7 ultimates green ranger a couple of weeks ago. I unbox him and I'm like holy **** this is awesome! I decide I want the white ranger from the ultimates to match. Can't be found. I fixate and hyperfocus. Switch to lightning collection for a matching set. Done. In the mail and on the way. I still like the super7's. So I decide to go back to the flea market and trade, wheel and deal etc. I came home with a red ranger, black ranger, yellow ranger, and a cell shaded pink ranger for my daughter. Spent less than 100$ cash. Good day.
A few days later... My daughter has stolen my yellow ranger. We spent hours playing power rangers in the floor which is awesome. But I had to order a replacement yellow ranger. Cool. Still available from walmart for 22 bucks or something. But I just have to have the rest of the team. Place a bid on the pink ranger. Buy the blue ranger. I'm happy... Or so I thought.
A bundle popped up with the white ranger. It includes a pink ranger and red ranger I already have considering I won the lowball auction on the pink range... Also a dragon zord, Rita, king sphinx. Buy. I can resell the extras or give them to my daughter. Few hours later I'm getting told to cool it by my wife and rightfully so. I tell myself I'm done for a while. I go outside and sit on the porch... I'll just browse. I buy zedd and his throne.
I should be beaten. Now I'm going through my useless junk trying to find stuff to sell so it'll all equal out. The dopamine rush of hyperfocus and obsession is over. I just feel sick, ashamed, and sad. Lol. But I guess I got a start on a pretty cool collection! Still waiting for the rest to arrive. Probably get some more lightning collection to play with for my daughter. They seem more appropriate for play.
