I go through periods of interest highs and lows... like in the last half year I've been focussing on re-organising the collection and doing a complete count/audit of everything that I (should) have, which is huge chore, particularly as I've been finding some things that I wasn't properly keeping track of in previous years (toys that I didn't note on my collection website, probably during low points of interest), or having to research release listings to be sure that I have toys on the correct shelves (if it was a bigger toyline that spread over 2 or more shelves).

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.
