If I were a bad toy collector, I wouldn't be here shitposting with you now, would I?
>>
>>6372580
Because I buy them because they look cool, then let dust collect on their boxes because I have nowhere to put them.
>>
I only buy hasbro 3.75-inch figures, partly because I like smaller figures and partly out of poorfag reasons
>>
I hoard items and scalp them.
Even bribed store attendants to hide the good stuff for me.
Easy cash and I get to buy any toy I like.
>>
Everything I have is broken and incomplete.
>>
>>6372580
I dont have a collection of Batmans
I dont have a collection of Stormtroopers
I have comic book toys but only their live-action movie versions
>>
I don't dust as regularly as I should; I don't have enough room in my display case so some of my collection sits out in the open, gathering dust.
>>
Still waiting for the anon who steals his grandma's pension for scalped transformers to chime in
>>

>What makes a bad toy collector and why is it you?
I'm poor and yet stretched too thin. I disgust myself.
>>
>>6372647
>I collect loli figures
I'm listening.
>>
>>6372580
Can't bring myself to sell shit I don't need/want.
>>
>>6374516
I hotglue them regularly.
Washing eventually wears out the paint so I tend to keep doubles.
The worn out ones I sell on ebay.
>>
>>6372580
I only collect mimp
>>
>>6372654
I do this to all my figures pretty much. Mess with them for a few days to get an idea of their articulation and then finally find a pose I like and leave them there. Then I don't touch them again until I dust. Does this make me a bad person?
>>
I've watched countless ebay listings fade away, unable to grasp them.

I too get shit because it looks cool and soon tire of it.

I have literally dozens of /customs/ projects that never will be finished due to ADD.

I have a full time job as an engineer now and still live with my parents, and am too comfy being without rent or a mortgage to leave so I spend my extra cash on toys.

But, hey, at least I'm not Greg or Peon.
>>
I buy high end Japanese imports and Hot Toys, yet sometimes derive more joy off cheap figures bought at Wal-Mart or K-mart.

Move out before either you or your old ones go crazy. Having privacy is sweet.
