I look back at when I started buying again after another break (late-2014), and I have the same thoughts.
Whatever era you prefer or can afford to collect, stick with the greats.

Same. I think about all the money I plowed into junk wax and mid-2000s shiny stuff that I could have put towards vintage. I'd enjoy the vintage a lot more these days, and I'd still have it, unlike the modern stuff I tossed because it was taking up too much space. At least when I got back in to the hobby I didn't make that mistake again.
