Most of my friends come to my place, get assaulted by anime figures and karate bug men belts and just sort of shrug it off. The worst I've ever heard is "you buy a lot of stupid shit but it's still kind of cool." Followed by a list of "stupid shit" they'd buy if a budget or SO wasn't in the way.
Ignore your friends. Buy more toys, nobody who's worth a shit would really care.

Dogs are awesome though, but yeah spend the money however you want. My parents don't really care, as long as I can support myself and it doesn't effect my financial situation. My girlfriend is the same way, but she wishes I displayed my figures better since I have some in storage. She's right (and wonderful).
If anyone gives you shit then just call them out for it. Be like 'Hey toy collecting makes me happy and it's a hobby I enjoy. It's ultimately my money, so I can do with it how I please. I appreciate your concern, but it isn't effecting me in a negative way (financial, hording,etc.) so you shouldn't worry.'
Sometimes people don't understand that just because it's a less common hobby it makes it not as good as others.
>>
Toy collecting has become an addiction that I use to try and fill a void in my soul. The small satisfaction of opening and fiddling with a new action figures brings me momentary happiness. I use that as a substitute to real, fulfilling happiness I would be getting if I'd actually move on and do something with my life. 2 years into college, live at home, currently isolating myself from the few friends I have because I'm simply too depressed to move. I continually have dreams of having the proper life I missed out on in highschool cause I was such a pussy and never had the balls to approach the ones I liked. I know I probably need help, but I don't want it.

Honestly, I stopped feeling about what people thought of my collecting when a friend was giving me shit about it but in the same conversation said he was buying tickets for Evanescence and started betting in pool.

Thank god I learned to stop giving a fuck early in life because my dad was a prick that always took every opportunity to tell me any hobby I picked up was stupid and I should stop it. It didn't matter if it was collecting weeb toys or fixing my own car it was stupid and a waste of my money.

>>5772497
I moved countries a lot as a kid due to father's work. I'll be honest, as far as toys go I was a bit on the spoiled side. I had loads of Transformers, TMNT and M.A.S.K, just to name a few.
Anyway, every time we moved my parents would give stuff to charity shops to save on boxes because they didn't want to keep carting all my shit between countries.
It took me a while to realise that certain figures had gone missing, which kinda reflects how much I cared about them I guess. Still, pissed me off when I found out though.

>and travel.
Please nigga. You can sell your toy or your $300 dollar shoes that you never wear when you're tired of it. You can never get the money spent on traveling back.
Traveling is facebook tier meme perpetrated by roasties. It's a great waste of money, but a way to show off that you got money to waste with pictures you get to post on facebook and shit to further showoff. I mean, a trip down to the local zoo or museum is fine, but the way bitches preach about them, about how you should go to paris for a weekend shopping trip or Italy every year or shit, it's just a waste.

Each to their own. I travel to a different country every 1 - 2 years and it's been a fantastic trip every single time. It's not about posting photos on facebook or whatever, which I almost never do, it's just such an interesting experience every time. Always something new and insightful I've experienced, or just plain fun. I've always been a bit iffy investing the grand or so the whole holiday totals up to, but I don't regret spending that money for a second.

Not unless you also have an increasingly unhealthy infatuation with a girl you haven't seen or spoken to in two years. In the back of your mind you know it would never work anyway because of the drastic differences in personality and views on life and religion, but you still imagine what could've happened had you tried to be her friend instead of blowing her off for the first few years you'd known each other, and by the time you realized you both actually liked each other, it was too late and she goes off to college across the state and you left to stalk her online profiles. You realize that she's moved on completely and that what you imagine and dream about will never be a reality because you simply attach her image to your fantasies. It's not even about her anymore, it's about you, and your unwillingness to let go.
>>
>>5773659
I'm all about unhealthy infatuations. Usually they go away after a little while with basically everyone I meet, but this one has been present for two years now. I only talked to her once as a client at my previous job but then I encountered her at my school's campus. I research everyone I meet so that hasn't helped either, especially since he have similar interests and outlooks. Basically I'm just waiting for her to leave this county and state so that I can hopefully be free again soo yeah hello me.

Nah.
We got Zecora here, not America btw, but I was driven to get the wave 4 ponies since they (minus Flitterheart, plus Lily Blossom) were [/toy/needsspoilers]the alternate 6 ponies of my fanfiction[/goddamnmyspaghetti].
I pretty much switched my focus towards those when the toyline really took off and ignored everything.
Also, wasn't Minty super rare or something?
>>
>>5774265
I know that feel.
Most of my Beast Wars guys were KOs but I stlil keep the few real ones I had.
Not because I am the kind of sperg to hate on KOs for being KOs, they can be alright if they are made with quality plastic; which was the case of 90s KOs; and most of them were important characters even, but most of them went M.I.A., were stolen, or thrown away during my "toys are for babbies but not the attitude that toys are for babbies hurr" phase.
I still made a point of keeping the real ones, though, mainly because they were fucking expensive with the local exchange rate and I had to save for months to buy most of them.

Your probably still young to care what other people think this much. The good news is that the older you get the less you honestly start caring as to what others might think. Damn! it's so liberating and refreshing. Life becomes so much simpler and less stressing when you only care about the things you really enjoy and less as to how others might see you. I wish this feeling on everyone.
The people who truly care about you are going to love you no matter what. Haven't you seen on tv or heard of parents who still visit their children in prison after they have committed a horrible crime?
Worry about yourself only and what makes YOU happy. Some people love clothes, electronics, kids, and they spend all their damn money on those things and nobody stops them. Well, you should do the same.
As for the opinions of others? Pffft! Do they pay your bills? So, fu*k'em

I get more shit for fish keeping than I do with toys, probably because my family already knows that fish keeping is extremely expensive while they don't have any idea how much my toy collection cost.
Why are my hobbies so expensive.

If losing my mother last month has taught me anything, is that lifes too short to give a shit about what other people say about you. Do what makes you happy to your hearts content and live a happy life. My fathers in his 70s and collects model air planes and i've never seen someone so happy and enthusiastic about a hobby. If it makes you happy, do it. Musicians collect instruments, sports fans collect jerseys and memorabilia, film fans collect movies, hell old ladies collect antiques and shit. Just be happy with what makes you happy. I'll always be proud of you /toy/.

I agree. When I talk to people about travelling, they always go to the 3rd world of Hawaii. Really, you want to go to poor countries? Our beaches aren't, uh, Sandy enough for you?
I'd like to visit Europe, to see a place that's different without being poor, but not enough to save up $10K+ to do it.

Sometimes the problem isn't the person, but the world around them. I've given up as well- you can't fix a bad reputation, our next president will be a disaster(no matter which of the 2 gets elected), and sometimes you just have to say FUCK IT because death is inevitable.

Im not a toy collector but my family are okay with the figures I have whenever they come over to visit. My mom even bought over a few Lego minifigures.

Not even alluded to in the post. Stop trying to shine the spotlight on something that's not there, to take it off of you. Somebody offers you some good advice and you dismiss it out of hand because you LIKE the sad state of affairs you're living in. You love this Woe is me, I'm the victim bullshit
>Sometimes the problem isn't the person, but the world around them.
Now you're just pulling shit out of your ass to justify your uselessness. BooHooo! The world sucks. I can't have things the way I want it because everyone else is the problem. WAAAH WAAAHH WAAAAH.
>sometimes you just have to say FUCK IT because death is inevitable
Good. So long you useless waste of skin. Hope it's a long and slow, painful death, and you suffer for every second of it, you self-absorbed Emo faggot.

Pretty sure people have better things to feel bad about to be honest. Why give a shit about what other people think, you are buying toys, not fucking horses or collecting dead babies.

Well the statute of limitations ran out on that one a few years ago, me thinks. But you're right. I've slowly taken some of that money back, albeit passive aggressively, by buying him cheap shitty birthday and christmas gifts.

I'm sorry to hear about your mother's passing, anon.

First the bad, then the good:
I moved away, couldn't afford to have my things shipped so I neatly and securely packed and boxed them for sending later.
Mom got 'tired of storing them' despite having plenty enough room.
My entire childhood sold in a yard sale.
She did not tell me until afterwards.
I think this is why I have so many Bjd today. (Thankfully still fewer than 20 but my collection still lack a few Grail dolls)
But I think it's balancing out.
A doll I really used to want surfaces for sale recently. Not a Grail but close.
I first expected I'd really want it and I can afford to buy it but upon a bit more thought, "I have enough right now, I'm happy".

If you're female, you can probably catch a dick in you unless you're absolutely hideous or monstrously fat, and sometimes even then just because you share a hobby fat nerds love.
If you're male, too bad. You're gonna be without someone just like the rest of us.

Only down side is that now I have a hobby that requires me to spend at least $500 in a doll. I'm ok with that.
Keep at it OP, in the end they can judge all they want but if you are pretty happy with what you are doing then fuck them. People with no creativity or people that are just plain boring are never accepting of shit, their minds are too narrow and simple.

I almost completed the set of every original, standard brushable pony. I only need a few left, and then I'm done.

I bought two Chibiterasus, and they're pretty lackluster. Probably going to sell both of them. I want an Amy, but the only official Amy I've seen for sale is a tissue box holder that goes for $150+. Fuck.
