A Glimpse into My Madness
by
I just got back from visiting the old homestead. While I was there I decided to prove once and for all that I’m no poser when it comes to toy collecting.
The pictures below are a glimpse at my main “collection” that still resides in my old room in my parent’s house. There are a lot of things still in bins there and there’s none of my old out of the box stuff, but this mostly it. I realize someday that I’m going to have to reorganize this mess and set up some sort of private museum. Until then my Dad’s dream of a billiards room will go unfulfilled.
toy collecting, toys, action figures, Star Wars

Paul,
It’s interesting to get a look at your “collection.”
Most of mine is in bins, as we don’t have a lot of room. Sometime within the next couple of years, my fiancee and I plan to build onto our house. Then, I’m supposed to have “my own room” for all my toys and collections. I can’t wait!

My son would weep at all those toys going unused. Should you decide to open them someday he will gladly assist. I’ve got two figures, that for whatever reason, I haven’t opened. It kills him to see them still in the plastics. It kills him, I say.

I love all those toys going unused! I’m so evil! I do have a few open, but you can’t really see them in that mass. Show your son that pic and tell me what his reaction is. I love hurting children, I say! hehe
Gayle, good luck getting your own room. Someday I plan on having a computer room/den that will house my collection. I may have to sell some of it just for space, but that day hasn’t come yet thank god.

You need a hidden room. That would be extra cool.

Yeah…dreams of of your dad’s billard room will go unfullfilled…I’m sure it hasn’t added to the house appraisel. Look under yard sale/free stuff to good or not so good home….

What happened to all your stuff that used to be stored in the basement? The opened up toys that you used to play with while running around table legs? I remember at least a few thousand star wars toys back then, when your collection was smaller. I think I even seen Harrison Ford down there.

You’re one sick bastard. The Abominable Snow Man does not a Wampa make.
