Mine is mainly on HK comics, now about 4 titles per month so can see really not much. My personal limit is 7 titles because need to control abit :D
I try to keep everything below $100 /month although sometimes may exceed.
But how you managed to keep them in your house? One day it will go into the corridor :D

Lets see...
I spend ard $300 on CDs/DVDs, ranging from jpop to jrock.
Abt $100 on toys each week.
Manga wise gotta depends on the releases of each titles, so its hard to estimate. Maybe $100-$200 monthly.

From the profits that Justin earns from the toys, he spent 80% of them on his hobbies which I estimate

Unfortunately, that's what everyone thot selling toys can make $$ but i suspect i didn't made at all becos my $$ is getting lesser though my stock getting more :bang: Even Ja*es closed shop proved that this line is tough.... :cry:
Yeap, i do spend $1k a month on toys and comics but 100% from my salary. After household and domestic spending left with almost no saving but alot of assets :mrgreen:
