You don't PLAY with them, my god man, that'd mean taking the OUT OF THE PACKAGING !!!! Destroying all value ! Heresy !

Saying that, I put my hat on my girlfriend's dog this morning and went "Look, it's Snoop Dawg!"...

Making your kids wear them is a bit beyond the borders of acceptable social behaviour for an adult though, isn't it? they'll grow up warped and hideous.

I collect helmets and wear them naked.

I freely admit to being slightly deviant. So should the rest of you.

Nothing wrong with breaking free from social stigma, stepping away from the beaten path, etc. Provided it's within the confines of the law, of course.

But imagine PLAYING with the figures? Pcheeoww blam! Oh no The Big Ape is pinned by the Leo Tard, I wonder if he'll...

And I am random poster, I changed my name for a hilarious post before the weekend and forgot to change it back before I posted again.

I do need to get a life though.

Random Person needs to get a life, I collect figures, sci fi stuff, anime, tons of things, even with my limited budget. My parents loft is full of mint on card Star Wars stuff and the like.

Sad ? Who cares, if that's someones opinion of me then I guarantee if they list their hobbies I can destroy them just as well.

I love Lego. Don't play with it anymore, but I think it's excellent. If I ever have kids (don't count on it!) I'll make sure they never go without that lovable stuff. I'm also getting more and more into computer games. I'm short of cash at the moment, but that didn't stop me buying Edge and OPS2 Mag this weekend. And I got my SR mag, which I read from cover to cover.

Ebay.
Loads of antique 1st editions from reputable dealers.

Where did you get that from?

Each to their own though I think.
I collect 1st edition books, and some would label that sad. Pride of place goes to a 1st edition book of collected Strand magazines from 1834, with the original Sherlock Holmes stories in.
You may find that sad, I find it most excellent.
