    IMO possession > acquisition.

    If acquiring toys becomes more fun than actually having the toys, then you could be looking at a kind of shopping addiction (compulsive buying) rather than actually enjoying having what you've purchased. Everybody gets a buzz from buying stuff - but does that buzz still last well after the purchase?

    I still feel excited and enjoy most of the Transformers I've purchased throughout the years and I still actively enjoy playing with many of my toys; Prime, Animated, movieverse, Classicsverse, Beast Wars, G1 etc. If I'm not going to use a toy, I won't buy it. Keeping stuff that I don't use feels more like hoarding rather than collecting to me.

    ------------------------------------------------------
    My definition of "use" for a toy is play - or at very least display. If I stop doing either with a toy then I consider them to be out of use and I will consider selling them. If you look at a lot of my sales threads, they're often non-TF toys that I've stopped playing with and have tried to offload.
