I often see two kinds of collectors. One who has their core stuff they collect and stick to it and slowly add to their collection, always hoping for a new Star Wars 6-Inch instead of just searching the aisle for something else or the collector who goes through phases between nostalgia/what's new and hot, etc.
I am the latter, I loved so much stuff growing up...video games, cartoons, wrestling, movies, and whatever licensed product they could come up with both good and bad.
But sometimes I look at people who have like every NES game or the entire Beast Wars line, loose and boxed, and I am jealous a bit of that level of commitment and completion.
It also had me thinking about how often I jump, and why I jump, and why do you guys (and girls)?
For me, it's usually something along these lines.
I am really hyped up about something, I get a bunch of the stuff, surf eBay, Etsy, Amazon, here, Kijiji, VarageSale constantly looking for a hard to find toy or really good price and then I get to a comfortable place where I feel like I have enough of those toys (could be ten, could be thirty) and I start to have something else catch my eye.
Or, I see something that I haven't seen before or for the right price and snatch it up and it turns into this whirlwind obsession where I'm waiting Pixel Dan use Captain Planet Slime.
Or, the third option, something reminds me of how awesome something is and I jump back into it, it could be something mainstream that leads to the release of the Transformers movie on blu-ray or it could be something simple like me trying to explain to my girlfriend how mind-blowing the voice cast of Captain Planet was after we watch You've Got Mail for the tenth time.
So as I said, what's your story?
Also, here is a photo of bootleg TMNT Figures I want to order off eBay.
