This guy is just frighting. I guess that's what happens if you go 30 years without getting laid and your pass on drugs & alcohol in favor of sugar.

Here you can see him putting together a robot
Shit like this depresses me :(
That's nothing.
I've an acquantance who has so much shit, it's hard to describe. He's 35 now, but was single until he was 30. His parents gave him their old house, he drives an old Ford station wagon that looks close to what the Griswolds drove in National Lampoons Vacation. He makes decent money, my point is that it all goes towards collecting shit. Every wall in the house is covered in unopened blister packs. There are shelves and shelves of opened toys. There is a two foot wide walkway that snakes throughout the house, boxes and cases of toys piled up on either side. He has clothes line strung across the ceiling of the living room with all kinds of shit hanging off them. There's a front porch that he boarded all the windows to, and packed that full of shit.
It was interesting when he first invited me over, because there sat new in the box toys I had forgotten that I owned twenty years earlier. And not just one or two of things. He prides himself on not only having things mint in the box unopened, but the box that the toys are shipped out to the stores in as well. He buys the entire case. A few Christmases ago TRU had a Star Wars cardboard display that held at least forty or fifty carded figures. He bought all the figures in the display so that the manager would give the display to him.
It's really pathetic. If that house ever went up in smoke, there has to be at least a $1,000,000 worth of shit he'd lose.
So, does everyone in Ohio talk like this?
On one hand I don't really get the whole toy collecting bug. But on the other, if I had the money, I would fill a house with guitars, amps, tubes, speakers, and records. I've had periods where my room had more amps in it than the local music shop. Some of my friends looked at me just like some of you are looking at this guy.
IMO, I think the issue is, do you own the hobby or does it own you? Because as soon as I could, I put most of those amps in storage and mainly keep around one or two favorites. I wonder if Mr. Toy collector could do that?
This isn't far off from a couple of people on this board.
I bet joust talks like that in real life. Except about how much the wii sucks.
How so? Port doesn't post here anymore.Quote:

Where's that one poster that was supposedly a millionaire from a lawsuit and every time he posted in the haul thread people always bitched?
