lost motivation

Is it just me that kinda lost motivation for collecting lalaloopsies? I still want to collect them, they are my childhood, but I’m just so discouraged from doing so because the prices are so high. it’s especially hard since I’m a school student with no job, and I think the prices for lalas are just permanently damaged since it’s been years since lalaloopsy stopped trending and yet the prices are still high.

And even when there is a good deal it immediately gets sold due to there being a lack of low priced lalas and so it feels like a competition. And I can’t help but feel like a failure after because it literally seems like everyone has cute and sought after lalas but me ughh :,)
