Nah my neighbor asked me if i knew how much i spent on it and i coulda had a ton of money i said yeah but if you go out to a bar one night it costs how much? She said whatever i said i get X amount of figures for that, so once she understood she thought it was cool.Never really get looks though.

You should never be embarrassed doing something you enjoy. If you enjoy it, that's all that matters. Screw those who don't like it, that's their problem.
I've been collecting since I was 4 and I'm 21. My best friends know I collect and don't care, they like me just the same. My best friend loves toys and he was worried for a few years of his life of people judging him, but I told him the same thing I told you above and he still buys toys here and there because he realized he shouldn't care what others think of him regarding that.

Nope,Never Been Embarrassed,Never Will,I Don't Get Why Someone Would Collect Figures If They Are Embarrassed Or Care What Someone Else Thinks About You,If Someone Doesn't Like What You Collect,That Is There Problem,Almost All My Friends Collect Figures Of Something Wether It Be WWE,UFC,Horror,Movie,Music,So We Always Enjoy Checking Each Other's Collections Out,In Closing You Should Never Be Ashamed About What You Collect/Buy B/C You Could Be Doing Alot Worse With The Money You Spend On Your Hobby,Enjoy It,Embrace It.

Find a new hobby if you're embarrassed by yours, simple as that.

im not saying that you could do that instead, im saying people think someone is cool for doing that illegal stuff and someone is dumb/lame/nerdy for having a hobby.[/quote]
Oh, definitely. What people think is "cool" is often the opposite. I can't tell you how many times my father in law has compared me to the 40 year old virgin. The funny thing is all I'd have to do to stop him is remind him that I've tagged his daughter thousands of times!
Oh well....

Who cares what others think. Its a hobby. Either way, so far in all my years of collecting toys, I've never had one single moment where the person behind the counter/cashier asked me why I'm buying a particular toy. They wld just scan it, I make payment, and then they bag it. So no, I've never been embarrassed to buy figures or any other toys.

In my house, I collect but my kids play with them,so most of the time they are with me, but when I am alone and buy them I could care less what other people think.

In some ways, yes. I don't care how the cashier looks at me, but I am ashamed of my hobby. No one else I know does it, so it makes me feel like an outsider.

i guess when i was younger and stopped colelcting through my teen years i was embarrassed because i thought i should be into other things at that age. considering that as an adult i know many a person that drinks themselves to a stupor or are totally apt to go out partying at a bar or club for a night and blow money like theres not tomorrow on over priced drinks i will make the case that yes... you may think its dumb but you just spent money on something temporary and i have invested in something a little more permanent that reminds me of good times and things that enjoy/have an active interest in. i do not think it is right to pass judgement though either way. i dont tell them they are foolish and waste their money because to them its not a waste they get what they want from that money regardless of my moral view of their lifestyle/social scene. if they somehow think toys are beneath them or not worth the money then i will gladly agree to disagree and go on about my life without having literally pissed my money down the toilet

whatever makes u happy brother!
obviously just stay away from n e 1 thats into drugs & that crap ,, i wouldnt say people think im not cool for having some figs of my fav wwe legends on my shelf instead of a bag of pot.. if that happens then you are around some BADD PEOPLE!!
i did stop playin with figures when i was 16, but i wouldnt hate on ne1 who does it now it just doesnt feel right to me... i can tell you havin wrestled for years, every1 even the big stars have insane hobbies.. like samoe joe buys underground rap mix tape cd's every week by the dozen, austin aries has every wwe dvd ever made, mickie james had more little toy horses than i care to see... but my point is we r all just human, do whatever makes u happy!
i dont like negativity, i like to stay postive.. always.. + ( except for a pregnancy test!)

I am 22 (about to turn 23) and i am not embaressed to buy anything for my wrestling collection.
This past summer i bought alot of wrestling figures from an outdoor flea market. The lady selling them said she would rather sell them to me then to a kid who is going to tear them up.

Why would you if you like it then do it if you still are embarresed get out of here because us colletors look forever for figures and you be embaressed and like my freind four years later you can not stand looking like a fool and quit so the figures you bought would be a waste and then 5 years ago us collecters could have got them.
