How much collecting is too much collecting?
I'm now in the phase at looking at fandom merch for research purposes and I understand having products because the fans will want to buy something anyway. What is troubling to me is the amount of merch and the packaging of the same item 12 or more ways to get the completists to buy everything. It feels damn exploitative.
People are free to do what they want with their money and these things exist because fans want these things. But... yeah... feels exploitative on whatever company's part.
