The most INSANE collection ever seen....

[Mr-K]

The extent of my collection is: an 80s Admiral Ackbar figure on my desk, a silver micro machine Vader Tie Fighter, and a Darth Vader Water Sprinkler my girlfriend bought me two weeks ago.

That and like ~18,000 MP3s...

I'm working on a getting a good MP3 collection now. I only have a few thousand. I spent most of my free-time overseas hunting them down.

[Mr-K]

My collection is really just a collaboration between my friends and I. We had an MP3 orgy over the summer and combined our MP3 collections into a super collection for us all to have. It's pretty sweet.

......and wait, here's the last of my figure "collection". Here's the rest of my figures. I forgot to include shots of the Morrigan figures that 7-Force/8-1 got for me a while back.

Shermie and Vanessa... a man after my own heart.

My "collections," at this point, are Dreamcast (which I need to get rid of), and Japanese idol pics on my computer. I'm nuts when it comes to downloading idol pics.

I guess you could also say I have an anime VHS collection... I still have 700+ legit tapes from when I was doing AnimeFan. I don't WANT that collection anymore, but it isn't exactly easy to get rid of 700+ tapes unless you just throw them away.


Oh, and the first time I saw this collection, through a link from a friend, the main thought I had was, "This guy has the movie to buy all of this crap, and yet he is still watching VHS tapes??"

Especially after literally filling the dumpster outside my apartment today with all the shit I've been too lazy to throw away since I moved to Denton last year, I don't understand the point. All that money could've been used to travel the world, or buy useable products. Never thought I'd say anything like it, but this moron's spent thousands of dollars on crap when others could've used it to have a better life.

Too bad Darwin is survival of the fit enough instead of survival of the fittest, else this retard would've been dead years ago.

I understand where you're coming from, but hey, who says that is isn't donating to some charity or something like that regularly? He's retired, and his money. Who says that he hasn't traveled the world? Don't think you know all about someone just from one part of their life that they make public.

My point is that it's a waste of money. I don't usually judge people's hobbies, but buying thousands of dollars of toys to put on a shelf and look at is retarded. Then again, with all these monthly haul threads and crap around here, I'm sure I'm in the minority.

As I get older, I agree. When I was young, I was like, "Wow, collection, how cool!" Now I sort of think, why not instead use that money to better yourself, even in fun ways, like by taking a trip to somewhere you've never been. 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.
