why yes...yes you are. seriously. you're descision lies inside of you. It isn'y up to us to declare that once you reeach a certain age you have to stop. if you enjoy it and can afford to do it, then go for it. Who cares what they think if your having fun then do it, but on the flip side if you seriously think your not having fun and you are wasting money then stop. either way it's up to you and only you.

it's up to you. honestly, there's no age limit. but if you feel it's becoming a burden, then do what you wanna do.

I'll never understand why people come to this board and ask questions like this. Who ing cares? Do you still want to collect? Is it something that you feel strongly about to the point where you can just blow off strangers that you'll probably never see again in your life? There's a fine line between a hobby and an addiction. My wife understands that I'm on the hobby side, and beyond her, I could honestly care less what anyone else thinks. "Oh look at that older gentleman looking at wrestling figures at a toy store. How sad is he?" Like I'm going to take criticism seriously from on-lookers that have nothing better to do then create opinions of me based off of what I'm looking at. Do you want to continue collecting? Go for it. Do other people's opinions bother you that much? Don't collect.

I still collect when I can but recently I stopped buying because I have a baby on the way. Its hard to go down the toy aisle and see something that I want but can't buy.

hey if its a hobby that makes you happy then who the hell cares? im 29 and have a beautiful wife,i pay my bills and do everything i need to do so if collecting figures makes me happy then im going to do it. the same should go for anyone else and screw what people think. imagine stop doing something you enjoy(especailly something like this which isint hurting anyone) just becasue someone makes you feel bad about it,dont spite yourself and keep collecting if you enjoy it.

What are you some kind of cool guy with a reputation to protect? I am 29 tomorrow, am a huge dork, and I don't care. Its not like I am ostracised. In fact, the reaction that my figs have gotten has been a little surprising. I expected a backlash, but a lot of people (mostly males, also dorks, because that is all I hang out with) think they are cool, which they are. Those who don't like them certainly don't disapprove, and that includes many females (some of whom think its cute or whatever). So if you are the Fonz and have a reputation to protect, by all means, get out and burn everything figure related before you get outed and labelled an L7 weeeeeenieeee. Otherwise, find some dorky friends and get your ass to Toys R Us post haste. am 25 and got gd wrestling collection and aslo have 2 figures What???

I'm 27 and I only really started hardcore collecting wrestling figures this year (apart from Hasbros when I was a kid). It is embarrassing sometimes when checkout staff say things, but what the heck, that's all part of the fun for me. I love this stuff!

I'm 25 and still collect. Who cares? I'd rather collect $15 plastic models of wrestlers than... smoke crack? Blow homeless dudes? Touch children? Point is, you could be doing something far worse.

I'm 32! And don't plan on stopping. My wife don't mind (much) and my friends still have their own figure collection, so no real reason to.
Plus it's no different then 50/60 year old's with a train collection.

Like you haven't done at least one of those! I'm 26 and have a bunch of UFC figures and the Basic Octagon, I have a few MOC figures, CS Demolition, and a big collection of WWF Hasbros.

I re-started collecting after I achieved #4 of my life goal list. 1) Find self (long journey, but key to happiness) 2) Get a good job (must have for expensive hobby) 3) Get married (Asian wife that accepts hobby) 4) Buy house (must have for figure room) 5) Live life (life is short, enjoy!)

I'm 31 and I still love collecting. Keep collecting if you love it. Who cares what other people think. If you enjoy something do it! Those people who look at you weird are nerds & weirdos in their own way and you just don't know in what way. Agreed!
