It seems to me that we have three main kinds of collectors and while most of us probably have elements of all three in us, we tend to lean toward one. So it's more of a spectrum rather than just rigid boxes or pigeon holes.
So we have...
THE CURATOR
Your toys aren't just toys, perhaps you've long since grown out of playing with toys. You insist on keeping your toys in mint sealed condition or loose mint condition. Handling your toys isn't a priority for you, rather you gain pleasure from collecting Transformers for prosperity's sake. Your collection is like your own private museum and you collect Transformers to add more pieces to your museum. Currently 17% of OzFormers fall under this category.
THE FIDDLER
You enjoy handling your toys and fiddling around with them. You transform them back and forth, admiring the ingenuity of the creativity and engineering behind each figure in your collection. Your Transformers are much like three-dimensional puzzles in a way. A whopping 71% of us are fiddlers.
THE PLAYER
You're just big kid who's never grown out of playing with your toys! You love nothing more than just getting down with your toys and inventing fantasy stories while you play with your toys. You provide voices and sound effects. Only 7% of us are players.
Other?
5% of us classify ourselves as being none of the above!
