The most INSANE collection ever seen....

[Calliander]

the dude has all that shit and has a wife who doesn't mind what he's doing and has a dog.

I think his life is pretty much set.

She collects My Little Pony. She's fat.

I used to collect Action Figures, not quite to the extent of this guy but still to a large degree. I kept them all in the packaging like this too.

Then I realized what good does it do to have toys that you wont play with. I still could not bring myself to open the packages, so I stopped collecting them all together and boxed them up and stuck them in storage. When my kid(s) get old enough they can have them, and if they dont want them, then I will just sell them

Thats why I like video games though, you can actually use what you collect and get a lot of enjoyment out of it instead of having something that just sits on the shelf looking pretty that will never be played with

I went to Otakon this summer and bought some Kingdom Heart little toy models which were like 5 bucks each.

I was unprepared for the awesomeness that came in that little box. It was some highly detailed, high quality stuff.

I want the Kingdom Hearts set now.

This guy is absolutely NUTS.

Woah.

I mean, what the fuck. Seriously.


Heh. The guy used a T3 figure to make a custom figure of Arnold's character from Predator. Looks pretty stupid in a box that says Predator 2, however. It was Danny "I'm too old for this shit" Glover in that one.

Jesus Christ. I don't get that whole keep it in its box thing. who gives a shit if it won't be mint, boxes are ugly.

Me either. The few toys I have on display are all out of the boxes.

I still have my Street Fighter Resaurus figures in the box, but only because I've not gotten around to getting a shelf to display them.

My Transformers: Alternators are all out of box, though.

I didn't really care about conventional toys when I was younger, back in the day - the rage for me was LEGOS.

It's all about Legos, man.

Hey, yeah. You could built nearly ANYTHING - and when they came out with those swivel/joint pieces, they were REALLY fun.

There was a time I was really into collecting action figures, and then I realized it was the biggest waste of time and money ever.

he's got like the whole set of clerks figures. Thats just sad. I feel really really sorry for his wife.

I've never really understood the whole collector/packrat thing personally.

From my own observations of the different generations in my family, I believe the packrat thing was birthed by the great depression.

My Dad's family saved virtually everything. When his Mother's sister passed away we had to deal with her estate. She had a basement that, until that year, I did not know even existed. It was full of junk. There was a room dedicated just to cloth scraps. We found things, that I have no idea why anyone would keep. There was a box full of the bags that go inside cereal boxes.

She and her sisters kept all those things because that was the way they grew up during the depression. By saving everything and using everything as much as they could, they got by.

This trait was passed on to my Dad, and then on to me and my sisters.

I feel the same way. I will admit that I still walk through the toy part of every store I go to, but it has been years since I paid for a toy. For the most part, my extra money goes to things that I can enjoy with others, like games or music. A little plastic person typically, is not a group activity for a bunch of 20 something year olds.

However, I would like to have that AT-AT that guy has. AT-At = the own

You couldn't PAY me to dust that room. Hell with that.



Where the hell did he get Pacer figures? I want! I want!
