And to avoid distractions, I've had to stop opening up new toys since last October... so I have a huge pile of toys I want to rip open and play, but I have "work" that needs to be done first.

That "work" is almost done, as I just finished on Monday night, counting the toy shelves in my collection and updating all of the webpages (not uploaded yet), which has given me a total "playable toy" count of 7,447 (that's officially released by Hasbro or Takara(Tomy) - action figures, figurines, playsets, remote-control, roleplay, plush and construction toys). That number does NOT include officially released models, statues, puzzles, boardgames, or licensed "toys" and merchandise. I will be counting those things next, and photographing them as I dont have too much of it photographed for my collection website, and those items have been estimated to be between 1,500 to 1,700.
Holy crap dude!

Besides work and novelty junk foods, does your hobby allow regular time in your life for pursuits and leisure that isn’t TF related?
