Does anyone have problems in keeping to one line? Im juggling at least 10 at the moment and keep looking for more. Instead of waiting for bits to come up im buying everything I can. Im trying to knock lines off as complete and move on. I just need to stop, but its hard

10? 10!! I must have 50 I actively search for, plus probably twice that again that I'm in the market for as and when I stumble across them.
In all seriousness though; it's all down to what you want to collect and what best suits your personality.
I like to have a multitude of lines on the go at any one time. I never feel under any pressure to tie a line up unless I'm real close to completion, I prefer to let them evolve naturally and there's always something to be found to get my 'new purchase' fix. I know others who prefer to focus on one or two lines at a time and that seems to work for them.

I'm collecting whatever I can get my hands on. I must have about 10-25 lines going as once.

For me, it seems to come in cycles. Like right now, I've been finding MOTU stuff all over the place, cheap. For awhile, it seems like TF's are everywhere. Then MUSCLES. Then Centurions. I also have about 15 lines I actively collect. I don't think I own a 100% complete line!

I am definitely gonna have to side with gort! I am currently collecting like 50+ lines but it is almost all vintage the only 90's i step into are tmnt and anyone that collects those knows there are TOO MANY different turtles to collect!!! I feel I have to collect multiple figure lines or my hobby would be very boring!!! personally i found that my motu was real easy to collect the majority of the figures quickly and cheaply and am now down to the harder figures to acquire so staying on target is really hard to do I'd say Impossible!

I have tried to keep my collecting low, going for individual figures rather than whole lines as several lines ahve figures i don't want/need. I am happy to say i am at a stage with my collection where i can really pull back on the reins and not go hunting for a while. Though i may go for a few more WCW OSFT figures now that my son likes to play with them. Other than that i have control of my addiction ;D

I have a ton of figure lines currently on the go (as most of you all know). the majority though is now a waiting game for the hdf items to pop up for sale. There are a few though that I could proably complete, but getting the figures I need for a "good price" is more important to me ie. Real Ghostbusters, and some early 90s lines. Also there are a few lines that I don't actively hunt for but do add to from figure lots, trades and such ie. Battle Beasts, Air Raiders, MASK. Finally some of the larger lines like GI Joe, Star Wars & Transformers, I have kinda put on hold trying to complete (by buying), at least until I get a spark of interest in them again.

Im avoiding the big and expensive lines and concentrating on random stuff.
At our yard sales all the vintage stuff is gone so im lucky to find any lines from the 90`s and they are so incomplete. Picked up a few Biker Mice From Mars this morning
