it does get pretty overwhelming with all the new and collector focused designs and glazes that come out - i've pretty much given up on a lot of the new stuff - occasionally i will get with someone on here and trade a mug from our local tiki bar with one from theirs, or paypal someone in the area money to pick me up one from 3 dots for example, but i've gotten to where my collecting is the joy of the hunt at the vintage / flea markets (especially when it's a rarer mug) - i make sure that wherever i travel now, i map out the locations of those stores just so i can do a hunt, it's fun, cheap enjoyment that takes me out of the tourist-y areas of the cities i visit
