The most INSANE collection ever seen....

These people take care of their action figures, this guy paints his own collection pieces etc, he does shit with it, it's something for him to do, thus, it improves his life a great deal. It's like video games for us, video games aren't going to get us a job, and they can cost a lot of money, yeah, I read a little bit. Like that spawn football guy if you noticed that, he's making that himself and doing the painting etc.

Plus in 30 years a collection like that will sell for god knows much (Granted, I think the people who buy these don't actually do anything with them, so those people may fall into your category that you bitch about Schlep).

It's really no worse than wasting money on expensive art pieces, or obscenely expensive food and drink, or sports cars, or about a thousand other extravagances.

It's still a waste, but it's not my money, so what do I care?

Or hell, toss that money into a savings account for your kid's college fund. Even buying material goods that improve your surroundings and thus your life, like improving your home or whatnot, would be a better use of the money.

There is just REALLY no point to collecting and not using things that are meant to be used and enjoyed. I'm not saying you shouldn't spend money on yourself, but spending money on something that doesn't improve your life any and that you can't even interact with seems really pointless, at least at this kind of scale.

You are going to doom America, china, and japan's economy with that kind of thinking.
