APU Posted March 15, 2004 Author Share Posted March 15, 2004 Thank you guys for the compliments. If I adopt you guys then I cant buy more toys The VSX set and Max were my most $$$$ purchases and I try and only buy MIB or MISB Transformers from the 80s. The Movie edition and Canadian edition Pepsi Prime were a grip also. Things not shown are : More Transformers like the electric train set, the STARS base, pinball game and clothing,M.A.S.K, dozens of Mcfarlane toys, some big ass 80s Fat Albert dolls, a grip of statues, Marvel Legends, a bunch of old Marvel toys, The Tick, Ronin Warriors, Battle Beast Starting Lineups and a bunch of other stuff.

JKeats Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 (edited) No offense to religious people, but that Passion poster made me think that this would be what Jesus' toy room would be like. Just curious APU, how much did that VSX set you back? I just gotta know... Edited March 15, 2004 by JKeats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyingPika Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 Yo, let me be the first to say... That's the biggest waste of toys i eva seen piles of boxes stashed away, dancougar, statues, valks etc neva removed from their boxes, that cant be seen. A statue that has and neva will be seen kinda defeats the purpose of it.... So much money on toys. I also spend all my cash on toys, and are happy to work for them, but thats coz i just a student making some holiday money. I also luv my transforming toys, you could just get the reissues and save hell of alot of cash. I also think its unfair for your gf to put in cash for something that is like neva appreicated/used. I know you like what you buy, but i just dont see any good luving. Theres alot of krap there, and you have some real gems, you don't need an energon optimus prime really. Nothing in life is perfect. The sooner you realise that, the better off you are, i have only learnt this recently. I also used to be a compulisive completest from as young as i can remember (age 6 i think). In fact to be a perfectionist is a flaw in itself (...Dr Phil). Now i know SithLord has also spent uberness amounts of money on toys, but when i looked at his collection i just admired it and felt warm and fuzzy inside ^^. When i look at yours i feel wound up inside, i think its cause he enjoys his collection. Everything looks speical to him, with you i dunno, its like you got nothing else to spend your cash on. I buy what i really like and know i while want to keep forever, not to complete the set. I even bought 2 master piece optiums primes. I do thing these things are worth it. But they get much luv ^^. And the optimus prime is a kewl toy that adults will admire. But by all means, its better than buying drugs and stuff ^^ There's a happy balance between working and buying the stuff you like and need, and having time to enjoy life. On your death bed, i guarantee you wont be thinking "If only i had gotten the 19th optimus prime 1985 repaint". I don't want to sound like a bible basher... but if you where some1 outside looking in, what do you think is you idol atm? But if it makes you happy, i hope you enjoy your collection, but also give ur gf some nice surprises instead of getting something else you dont really want ^^ Sorry to sound so awefull, but its just my opion, i the kinda guy where no toy lasts longa than 5 secs in its package ^^.

I agree with you to a certain extent, since I open my stuff; however, this guy has the right to do whatever he wants with his collection. You may think he's wrong, but it is equally (if not more so) wrong for you to lecture him. My $.02.

pfunk Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 Yo, let me be the first to say...That's the biggest waste of toys i eva seen wow, someones a little green anywho, I have qiute a collection all packed away waiting for the move (maybe 3yrs) one thing i will suggest is call your insurance company and have those items covered under a replacement policy. I have done such. It costs me about an extra $500 a year, but that includes a few "other" things becides collections and hobbies Very nice collection BTW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PLEASE EXCUSE ANY SPELLING ERRORS..... You have the nerve to judge before asking questions! I have a certain plan for EVERY toy I have ( NO, NOT TO SELL THEM)and can not share this info in public forums( I can answer questions if you pm me). I collect ONLY what I want and nothing else and have no regrets and as for the "crap" show it to me cuzz I dont see any. As for the boxes... This is 1 room in my parents house, where the hell else will I put it if I cant display it all, in a toy box with Barny on it. Did you not READ the part where I said "untill I get a bigger house"? As for Energon and Armada Prime...Do you not notice that I collect Transformers? I have also stated before that I colect MIB because I colect the box art as well. I also belive you are being a hippocrate(sp) for downtalking someone when in actuality we all get bashed for collecting toys anyway. Thankx for the positave replies guys.

Godzilla Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 Dude just calm down. So some people express their opinions. Some in positive tone... some in negative. Yes I agree you shouldnt be lectured how you collect things. Just dont let things like this bother you... Just have fun and keep on collecting your hobby.

J A Dare Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 true I need to be less defensive, sorry guys Hey, APU. Don't sweat it. If you've been here long enough, you'll know being judgemental, complaining, and whining are the official sports of MacrossWorld. There is nothing wrong with your hobby (passion). For what it's worth, I have zero toys, so I'm a tad bit jealous to say the least. And what do I spend my extra money on? Thousands and thousands on memories. If you ask me, that's pretty pathetic. Because in the end, I have nothing to show for it. But I wouldn't have it any other way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jawjaw Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 I don't know if this has ever been discussed, but you guys with very large and expensive collections should have them insured. In other words, make sure you have enough coverage for all your possessions if everything burns up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfx Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 JTLYK that there's always some other crazed collector whose obcession is bordering on insanity and it leaves you feeling all normal again. Check out Crazy Probe's Collection I've had this guys site bookmarked from the time the internet was just a pup. Sorry if this is old news but its always nice to see this guy's collection. 55 pages of it! Probe hasn't been updating lately has he? Was waiting for a update for almost a year that time and I gave up visiting after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkPhoenix Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 Sadly, I don't think Crazy Probe has updated in over a year. People chased him off from the newsgroups due to his fondness of MSiA's and he's been pretty scarce since then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every1 has a right to their opion, and i didnt insult you... the title of the post was "After buying 12 Valks in a month, So when did you admit?".... I was just trying to be the voice of reason since no1 else wanted to be the bad guy. "Thankx for the positave replies guys.", next time give ur topic the title, "please priase my collection" and ill gladly tell you how nice it is. You call me a hypocrite... but i wouldnt except my wife or gf to start giving up there cash for more toys when in ur situation. When i see something really sweet, that i know i just have to get, then i get it. When i think about it, even if very tempted, i rather then leave it. I would say say thats when u admit to yourself i don't need it. When u move into a bigger house are you gonna display your statues? And yes i noticed you collect transformers, even ones you dont like... And if u think its jeasouly as some1 said, you so missed the point. Apprently you'll neva admit. But please enjoy your collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natgun Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 just a little tip, i saw one of those torch-style halogen lights in one of your pics. GET THAT THING OUTTA THERE! every year those things cause many fires across the country, usually because a poster or drape falls onto the top and makes contact with the bulb. some of the newer models have cages over the top to provent this type of thing but i wouldnt chance it man. i think i would cry if i found out that all those wonderfull toys were destroyed by fire.

eugimon Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 It's true! I had one and a playing card landed on top (don't ask) and the thing went up in seconds. luckliy nothing else caught on fire but it could have been bad. Kinda sad though, those halogen torches give off great light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retracting Head Ter Ter Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 20g in 2 years is _not_ that bad considering he can liquidate it and have a good chance of getting all 20g or more back. Heck, even if they were not assets, people spend more on other entertainment forms like flashy cars, drinks, partying etc etc. Everything is relative. Just keep receipts and buy insurance eh?

I've spent no-where near as much as some but have aquired an awful lot of stuff. You apreciate it wen you have to move it . If you love it and can afford it... do it.
