I wish I could have a bigger man cave to fit everything but space is so limited and It's taken me several years to figure out what I want my final collection to look like....
it's funny when you first start collecting you want everything but money and limited space has a way of slapping you back into reality...

Couldn't have said it better myself. Up until Mysterio, I practically bought every XM statue that had been released except for the Iron Man Mk 7 since I don't collect movie comic characters. Since then, and even before...i have sold off the vast majority of my collection because I was getting prepared for my first love which is Transformers, and, like you...my collection changed.
Currently, I own Batman Samurai, Mysterio, Punisher, Darkness, Black Bolt, Medusa, Phoenix, Thor, and Kratos on Throne.
But I realized for Marvel, I only really want cosmic characters or powerhouse characters (Rhino, Juggernaut, Thor, Beta Ray Bill) or all Asgardians, Olympians, Inhumans, Eternals, etc. Room is just limited and with so much awesome stuff XM makes, I, currently, can't have it all so have to be more selective.
With the onslaught of mutants (possibly 20 in the works), a couple of highly wanted Avengers coming soon, Predator / Alien, Top Cow (which XM is ramping up to make more characters), and of course DC and my most wanted Transformers line...had to decide to cut out some things. It sucks...but must be done. The next and hopefully final things to leave my collection will be Kratos on Throne and Mysterio. Punisher is a fav character of mine and just too damn awesome (best Punisher I have ever seen) to let go...at least not for a long time.
So I and others feel your pain.
