Plain and simple, I have a huge pile of miniatures to paint, and I keep buying more. Last year, I resolved to take two steps along the path to dealing with this "problem". First, I began tracking purchases, and secondly I began to paint more. The first step was facilitated by what The Miniatures Page (http://theminiaturespage.com/) calls "The Pledge", as I began not only keeping track, but posting my monthly purchases, as well as painting progress and items finished.
My FLGS helped with this second step, as I've found that I am far more productive when surrounded by gamer chatter.
With a fairly astounding purchase total in 2007, I resolved to actually limit my purchases in 2008, and try to sell off stuff I wasn't going to ever get to. In my case "limit" means keeping collection growth down to about 500 or so for the year, and painting half of that.
My Pledge posts on TMP continue, but I've decided to echo them here, starting with the May 2008 post.
