I think this happens to a lot of people, but I can count myself as someone who's habits changed mid-course. Ignoring my childhood wants, I'll just focus on teens years to now. I've stopped picking up the various McFarlane figures (Spawn, Movie Maniacs, etc) and Living Dead Dolls. Also gave up Magic the Gathering after about 10 years. I still pick up the occasional super hero (mainly Batman-based, but also other DC and Marvel characters), some Lego sets, various anime product (Evangelion and the random mech or shoujo), and of course Transformers.
The issue is simply that I have neither unlimited funds nor space. I'm still waiting for the day when I can cut down even more and focus my collection but then something new comes about that becomes a must get. I'm really not that reserved although I should be. Other than a lack of funding, the only thing that might make me change habits is when I organize my displays and plan to optimize as much as possible - this will hopefully have me rethink the various items I keep around or purchase because I would like a spectacular display that has a sense of unity to it.
Good luck in your new collecting habits. If you can impart any valuable advice, be sure to chime back in.
