you are not alone, friend. i worked in a toy store for about a year and a half, i would say there are two kinds of people that would come through. those who grew up close to toys and stayed close to toys, and those who had toys and through whatever means, usually a parent throwing them away, lost them- and were trying to get that piece back. i think both paths tell a similar story. toy culture is very fascinating, we are more alike than we are different

This video spoke to me on many levels. I went through the exact same stages. I like to use the term "Cherry pick" now for my collection going forward. I have to admit a collection is more impactful to yourself when its filled completely with things you absolutely love as opposed to having to have it there because it is part of the set. The single characters are what bring most nostalgia, not always the entirety of the collection. Great vid!

This kinda describes me now. It definitely helps with my chosen property (Tokusatsu in general). To see a figure at first, and not really be into the design, but watch the show or movie then cherry pick the more memorable characters is a joy. It’s even better when you see other similar collections, noticing differences in what made that collectors cut as opposed to your own. This really is a good time to be a collector.

That is a great way to look at it, "cherry pick". My batman collection includes things that are interesting to me the batman figures that are unique to me, as a collector. I always did the cherry pick thing with my figure collecting. When I was heavy into game collecting, it was everything on Xbox and GameCube. I had damn near a complete GameCube collection and a fairly decent xbox collection. Those are my two favorite consoles. Working at GameStop at the time didn't help. Flipping games, games being brought into the store where people had no idea what they had (was always fair and let them know the value or what to do with it) to do with GameCube games once we stop taking them. I looked at my collection one day and realized that half the games in the library I didn't like or haven't even played. I cherry picked what meant something to me or what I would actually played and got rid of the rest of it. You're right there is more to collecting when every piece you enjoy or you know a story about it personally.

After moving several times, and then having kids of my own, I decided to pare down my various collections. Some things of were sold, others donated. Marie Kondo's quotes on discarding things that do not bring you joy really changed my perspective on collecting. By asking myself if a particular toy/game/whatever brings me joy or not, it was easy to part with a lot of them.

My collection (used to) grow whenever stressors in my life reached an overwhelming level. The way I manage it, is by reverting back to my childhood and dive in to all things nostalgic. By removing myself mentally from those stressors, I am able to manage them much easier however, in the beginning it was just watching videos, old cartoons, and toy commercials on KZbin and channels like yours, or purchasing a random retro toy catalog on eBay or a cool find at a yard sale. Before I knew it, those stress relievers were becoming expensive! The pandemic isnt helping matters either, but Im showing restraint, lol

I'm 2yrs late on this video and no idea if anyone will read this. I wasnt/haven't been a "collector" since I was a kid. From my teens to my early 30s, I was a minimalist and in a sense, still am. Because of Covid, around last September, I felt like I rewoken a beast when I purchased my first "toy"/lego set at Target out of boredom. I built the set, felt the rush, bought another, then started finding youtubers who reviewed and worse, did toy hunting videos. More recently, I started getting into action figures like Black Series/Marvel Legends. I was finding my small studio apartment couldn't fit anything I was buying, I had a shopping addiction. I have roughly $2k+ worth of sealed Lego Sets still in their boxes and a way too many action figures than I initially intended to buy. I decided to start returning/selling some excess and narrowing down the collection to things I really enjoy too. It's weird still wanting to have the minimalistic aesthetician while being a collector. I think the 2 can go hand in hand. Main thing is to focus on what is important to you and what brings you the most joy in life.

I'm in a similar place. Since the start of 2020 I have acquired a LOT of toys. Mainly Transformers (WFC) and NECA TMNT (toon and movie). Recently I've also been getting into Star Wars TVC and then there are bits and pieces from other franchises (Jurassic Park, GI Joe, Ghostbusters etc). The last few weeks I've come to realise I can barely move in my home "office". And do I really know or see half the items I have? I think there is some sort of addictive trait in there - always have to complete the good guy team, or the bad guy team. I am now contemplating selling off some of the collection and trying to narrow down what I want or need. Exactly as the guy in the video says. I.e. I don't need ALL the autobots, or 3 different versions of Optimus Prime. Just keep favourite or nostalgic characters and get rid of the rest. But taking that first step is difficult! But acknowledging there is a problem is the first step.

True story - sold off my comic collection years ago. About 10-15 years later I was renting a house and about ready to move out because the owner was planning to sell. Some things had been stored there by the owner. They said "Just clean stuff out if you can. If it's something you want, keep it, if not, throw it out." Well the landlady was pretty cool so my roomies and I decided that sure we'd clean the place out before we moved out to make it easier for her to sell. There... In a closet full of worthless paperback books, broken electronics, and various junk were 2 boxes... WITH MY OLD COMIC COLLECTION! You can not understand that feeling of finding a thing you'd regretted getting rid of years prior. I was so fortunate. Moral of the story? There isn't one. I was lucky. 😂

It’s really about holding onto your youth and that feeling of being a kid. It reminds you of an easier time when you had very little cares in the world.

Now I just have a very small amount of keepsakes that actually have true meaning and tell a story.

I lost 95% of my G.I. Joe collection to a fire back in 2014. Before then my collection consisted of anything and everything that I was able to find that had the G.I. Joe logo. I started the collection in 1982. After the fire I was done collecting. A few years later I missed it and so I began to re-evaluate what I collected and why. It was fun and brought me joy. I have since returned to collecting G.I. Joe and while it is a slow process to find items I lost, I am enjoying it more than the first time around. Part of what I enjoy is the sharing of information about the hobby and that brought me to KZbin earlier this year. Thank you for your videos. I have enjoyed your channel a lot.

As a collector, a lot of this really resonated with me especially about the FOMO and the ever justifying growing of the collection and having to own multiple copies and the running out of space and the addictive qualities of it. I appreciate how honest and upfront you were about it. It can very, very easily get out of hand but it's also one of life's pleasures for those with a collector's heart (like myself) so finding the right balance for you is key.

“Collecting” to me is something I did when it was hard to collect things. Before the internet, and it was really an accomplishment to find something. And it wasn’t always just a matter of having money to do it. I used to collect sugar packets as a kid. Every restaurant I’d go to is take a sugar packet home with me. I had a move ticket stub collection. A box of them, every time I went to movies I kept it and it had the date, time, show and place on it. Now I grow up and people “collect” funkopops or just basically stuff that is more just a matter of “ok, I can afford another one, click the buy now button.” I never felt l in a this was “collecting”. I know it sounds like gatekeeping or an old person dumping on different times. I don’t know. Collections are great reflections of us, and there’s something to be said about a collection that was actually sought out vs something that you just went online and bought from the same place over and over again.

My childhood collection is long gone and scattered to the winds. In my mid-20s I acquired a handful of figures, but after a year or two I gave all those away. Ten years later I began my collection 3.0. It's all figures I had as a kid and loved, figures I wanted, and a few modern figures like Black Series and that Robocop/Terminator hybrid. My collection is focused just on what I love, and nothing else.

When I was in Marine Corp boot camp my dad sold my collections. That consisted of pretty much every Star Wars figure, vehicle, play set, diorama, mail in limited editions, collectors cases, t shirts, bed sheets, comforters, curtains and desk made from A New Hope to Return of the Jedi. This was thousands and thousands to include a Star Destroyer that took up my entire bedroom and had to be raised and lowered on a set of pulleys. It was so big I could dock a Tie Fighter, Vaders Fighter, the Tie Advanced Intercepter, Tie Bomber, Millennium Falcon, an X wing, A wing, B Wing, Cloud Car in its hanger as well as an AT AT ans AT ST if the legs were folded under them. I had never seen anything like it till I got it and have not since. Granted I was a kid and my mom and dad financed all of that collection. GI Joe consisted of every comic book from #1 to the last issue I purchased in 1990 3 days before leaving for boot camp. All of the 3 3/4 tall action figures released from 1994 to 1990. The third collection sold that darkened my dad's drive way and yard. 1975 Dodge Dart Swinger Gold with black vinyl 3/4 top with a 318ci, auto trans modified with 340 heads. Headers, posi rear end, 1968 Plymouth Barracuda Fast Back Big Bid Yellow changed from a 318ci to a 426 big block hemi with a B&M shirt stack blower, 2 holley 750cfm carbs, headers, 4 speed Trans with pistol grip shifter, 8 poing roll cage, high Cowell hood. 1970 Dodge Chalkenger road runner green340ci 6 pack carbs, 4 speed Trans with pistol grip shifter all stock. In the yard 426 hemi, 2ea 383 Magnum, multiple sets Mopar wheels, a rolling Super Bird Shell with no motor from the Hurtz Rent a Racer fleet.

But it is his book to do whatever with & I know it was read dozens of times more than I ever read my books.

Collecting Transformers became SO much more fun when I got my niece involved in it. I put on the G1 cartoon as background noise one day and noticed that she'd camped out and watched all of season 1 and 2! That's all it took, she was bit by the bug. Now we make a weekly trip into town to see what we can find at retail or antique stores. She's even more adamant about it than I am sometimes!

This video REALLY hit close to home. I absolutely loved every word. I think I'm personally on collection "2.5" if I were to compare my experience to yours. There was a point where the collection ballooned way beyond my needs, wants, desires, and financial responsibility. I sold pretty much all of it as well. Since then - I reassessed and bought some of it back. And while I'm doing my best of sticking to only the things I love and can afford, I occasionally find myself reverting back to that old "completionist" mentality and have to do a hard gut-check. I aspire to reach full-on Phase 3.0 eventually. And I thank you for showing us fellow collectors that it is definitely achievable.

my collection 3.0 is the highest level of collecting ive ever been in my whole life. this version has a form, unity, character to it, my previews collections were merely a replication of what i wanted today. thanks to the ever growing toy/model community it boosted my confidence into revising my whole view of what i want in my collection. i mainly collect gundams but to compensate for for the lack of other robots i cheat here and there making excuses like “megaman can fit in with these” “a little revoltech wouldnt hurt” “what a great price im going to buy this evangelion figure”. i started my collection 3.0 with the mindset of strictly 1/100 gundam mastergrades. now its a mix of both 1/100 model kits - 1/144 scale figures.

Thank you for making this video. I’ve been struggling with what to do with my collection these past couple of weeks. I moved a few months ago so I had practically all of my figures boxed up and now that I’ve gotten some cabinets to display them in my new apartment I’ve honestly been feeling a little overwhelmed with how much stuff I’ve actually accumulated throughout the years. I got myself a few detours thinking that should just about cover it but I filled them all up and still have so many boxes. And this comes after I sold off 90% of a sub collection (amiibo) because my roommate already had the same exact ones. I’ve considered just selling it all but I feel like I’d regret that down the line or that I’d feel all the years I’ve spent collecting so far was just a waste. But downsizing seems like it’s the right move. I just need to figure out what stays and what goes. Thanks Dan!

gearing up to sell my 'star wars' 6" black series. it was fun when i started about 3 years ago, and it cost a pretty penny getting up to par with most everyone else. but, i'm somewhat of a completist and inbox, not to mention the hunt is a huge part of the fun for me. problem is hasblo is coming out with just too much stuff, i can't keep up. i think in 2019 they had something like 62 releases, and by the end of this year probably closer to 70. a lot of retailers just aren't stocking them well in my area, and walmart just quit having them altogether. while it was always a challenge to get the new stuff to begin with, online hasn't made it any easier between all the exclusives and new figs which are snapped up within seconds by bots, scalpers, and other collectors. counting on hasblo pulse to have their act together is like hoping today will be good beach weather at the north pole. then if you do get it in the first round of pickings, hopefully it's not packaged by an ape. being inbox, the condition of the package is everything, but amazon is almost a guaranteed disaster. then you order something that's on back order for four months and start seeing it on shelves by then. that's if your order isn't cancelled. it's almost worth paying an extra ten bucks to a dealer to get it in good condition and reasonably on time after a month or so. that's okay, i'm so far behind that i'm about a year behind anyway. retailers are clearing beginning to give up handing over shelf space for bullshit product that collects dust unless it's a hot ticket item which are hard to get in the store. because most stores have an automatic re-ordering system and department managers who just couldn't give a shit, the inability to sell ten rose ticos prevent new orders. it's all heading to online collecting, but that's a fucking mess, too. one person in one of my collecting groups said they have *41* BS figures in his queue he's waiting on, a lot of the pre-orders (which is yet another layer of bullshit right there). wheeeeeeee!!! yeah, i'm bitching about it, so what? the bottom line is it's just no fun anymore. i can't afford to keep up, fed up with online bullshit and not knowing if, when, or what condition you'll get it, always hated exclusives and there just seems to be more of those, i have other shit to do in life than dedicate it to collecting online and being in the right place at the right time just for the slim *chance* of getting something the very second it's released, and while there being a challenge to it doesn't turn me off, it's to the point where what they do/don't do and how they do it is going to drive no small amount of collectors out of the game. i recently found a probot on the shelf, much to my shock, and it's a great figure. i set it back down because my heart just wasn't in it. that's when i knew i was done.

Yes. I've lost my collection twice. The first occasion happened when I left home at 18. Pretty much every toy I had ever owned was lost overnight. I was only able to spare my recent collection of Marvel Legends waves 1, 2, 3, & 4. At the time, those were the only waves available from Toy Biz. But, I was smitten and knew I couldn't part with the fantastic new line. Everything else that I had left at home with my parents (mostly the toys I grew up with) was gone in less than a year. By that point, I was already working my first job and my collection of Toy Biz Marvel Legends was extra special to me. It was an accomplishment and symbolized something I had truly worked for. It was something my parents didn't help me cultivate. And it was Marvel! As I struck out on my own I spent nearly every spare cent collecting Legends from Walmart, Target, and KB Toys. I had all but the most rare of legends figures twice. Naturally, one figure was to pose on the shelf and the duplicate was to hang boxed on the wall. Rather redundant really. I told myself I was making an investment in my future. And as I worked towards my Bachelors Degree, I continued this questionable practice. Then news came that Toy BIz was done and Hasbro was taking over. And after the Annihilus Wave and Blob Wave of Hasbro Legends, and the company's seeming preference for smaller scale Marvel toys, I assumed the Legends line was nearly done for. With college graduation around the corner, I sold all of my figures, and their duplicates, (except the X-Men) at convention and made enough money to buy a (then) $500 PlayStation 3 and some starting games and accessories. That was it. My years of investment turned into less than $1000 worth of fun in one weekend. I was ready to move and leave collecting in the past. I thought my collection was the biggest thing I had ever seen. The biggest collector achievement I would ever accomplish. And for a few years, that was it. Then, Marvel Legends came back in 2012. I started with Hope Summers, the latest X-Character to hit the line at the time. I was hooked, lined, and sunk all over again. I now own more Marvel Legends then I ever did in the Toy Biz days. Easily triple the numbers. It's been a crazy obsession. And up until last year, I had to be a completionist again. But now with my collection of nearly 400 Legends figures, I've decided it's OK to just collect the ones I really want. And I'm happy. I'm happier now as a collector than I ever have been. Thanks for sharing guys. This is one of the most sentimental videos you've done yet. And it struck a cord with me. All the best. -Rob

I sold almost everything when we I got married. We had no savings for a wedding, honeymoon, and starter items like furniture/plates/etc. For ten years never bought anything since the discretionary income simply wasn't there. Last year (about 15 years since we got married) I asked my wife if we could talk. We're not rich but we're doing OK. I told her how much I missed that part of my life. I don't golf, buy expensive clothes, or things many other adults do with money. I asked if I could re-buy some comics and plastic. She agreed I can have 75.00 a month to do whatever.

I sold my toy collection about 6-7 years ago and don't collect any longer mainly because I have other hobbies that take up the little bit of free space and money that my kids have not managed to consume. I collected late 70's through late 80's action figures with a ton of carded figures. The greater percentage of my loose figures were complete and my G.I Joe collection was pretty impressive. In addition to the space and money issue I started having figures break just from picking the dang things up. I also had the bubbles falling off of a few carded figures. I began to have nightmares about picking up one of my rare Joes only to see stress cracks on his elbows or have the crotch fall off. These are not worries a grown man should have :)

Wonderful video! I've had to sell stuff I wanted. I never was able to go down your 2.0 road. My ex wife didn't understand my love for DC/Marvel and my desire to pose and display the heroes and villains. The Megos, Super Powers and Secret Wars long lost in previous moves, I built a nice 5" DC and Marvel collection as an adult, and when the scale went up to 6" I followed, eventually selling my entire 5" collection to make room and honestly, because I felt and still feel it's an upgrade. The ex always was upset and did guilt me into selling some, but after the divorce (for many reasons) I no longer have that problem. Now I continue my exclusively DC/Marvel collection, adding a few extra things that mean a lot. I just get what I love for pose/display purposes. Nothing in package and am very happy with the state of things. Anyway, wonderful video. Thanks for sharing!
