When has another TF member inspired you to do something?

Damn, just saw Griffsterooney's banner. I was hoping to have a very quiet run for the rest of this year but noooo! Now I'm finding I'm going to have to find another 300 figures to buy this year For the year so far I've acquired 493 TFs which I thought was a lot and was hoping to curb it back a bit. Why? Why?????? WHY????

I should add "inspired" my tailpipe! I feel like I'm being coerced into this! But I figured I wanted a nicer sounding title

Nearly every day on this board!

Sometimes a review or photo inspires me to buy a toy I wasn't going to buy.

Sometimes an comment inspires me to make a tech spec, or a kitbash or a photo comic (still in progress).

And I blame was inspired by members on this board to buy 600 new toys in the last two years!

+1 QFT. Also, griffin has spent 25 years continuously building that collection; it's not the same when you just hop on eBay and match him in only a span of a few months. To me, griffin's collection is a testimony to his long and ongoing loyalty and consistent effort as a collector from 1984-2009. Anyone (with the available funds) can go and buy a similar amount of toys in a short span of time, but it doesn't mean the same if you didn't spend a quarter of a century doing it!

So when griffin looks through his collection I imagine that he would have memories of spending 25 years of being an avid fan and dedicated collector, possibly with the "Wonder Years" theme song playing in the background. It's not the same if you scan over that number of toys with just memories of going nuts on eBay. So IMHO griffin's collection isn't really about it's size, it's more about what it represents in terms of his devotion to this hobby. That's something money can't buy.

The journey is more important than the destination. (^_^) Just my 2c.
