    I buy em, unpack em, set them in a pose, get out my drawing pad, draw said pose and then stick em on the shelf.
    I love the mechanical side of the robots and how they *could* work if real life, compared to the natural look of Beast Wars.

    I think I'm like the opposite of Lithium in a way. Lithium said that playing with toys makes him feel silly, but for me I would feel silly if I didn't play with my toys.

    To me buying a toy and not playing with it is akin to say buying a car and not driving it or buying food and not eating it. A toy is meant to be played with, so I see no point in buying a toy and not playing with it. I would hate to think that I've spent a quarter of a century and amounts of money that I don't even want to think about, building a big collection of Transformers only to not play with them! That's like collecting lots of books or comics and never reading them.

    JMHO; this is of course just my own personal standards/values. I'm not saying that other people are silly for spending loads of time and money buying toys only to not play with them, but _I_ would feel silly if I didn't.

    How about a new category - the obsessive compulsive!

    You claim that you will only buy a couple of ROTF figures and then end up buying everything released. And keeping it MISB.

    You check the plastic bubble of Deluxe figures to find the one with
    A. No flap crease
    B. Clearest plastic without scratches

    You will sort through 10 figures on a rack to find the best MISB example.

    You can't rest until you find that Ice Cream Truck.

    You threw up and then swallowed a bit of vomit when you read the MISB opening thread.

    Nothing like me at all!

    Is that the correct arm for Defensor?

    Man, I've got similar photos as a kid. Just different people in the photo.

    That's Afterburner from the Technobots. Half the fun of playing with the Scramble Gestalts was mix 'n' matching their limbs!

    I thought you were re-enacting the episode where First-Aid buggers off and Defensor's "Only got one arm".

    From now on, whenever I feel like I'm getting a little obsessive compulsive with Transformers; I'll just re-read this post
