bah! I've already finished that team. There's only five of them though. And curse you too!Originally Posted by Kyle
Curses, you're right! I blame everyone then! Everyone! Every single one of you munchkins! Why do this to me? Why?And Iblamewas inspired by members on this board to buy 600 new toys in the last two years!
You're missing the point! The point is I like Griffsterooney's idea of 2500 in 25 years. There's a certain feel about it historically (well, geekily) that I can say, hey, in the 25th year I had 2500 TFs (not all transforming, mind you but still). Now, that's what I want.+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.
What I gotta figure out now is what figures I want to bring me up to that tally.
That's partially true too. You probably even remember me not understanding it for a while why u were MISB collecting. Then I started seeing theDamned and Jaydisc's collections and I knew what you were on about.STL..i think you also got inspired by me to become partial MISB collector
You know you love me for it.
