    Default How long do you play with your toys for?

    I have so many and most of the time I'm busy with other things that I only play with my figs for about a couple of hours and then bam, stored away and time to play with a new fig.

    Depends how busy I am. Sometimes a few minutes, sometimes a few hours. Sometimes if I'm building an exciting campaign I'll "pause" the play and resume it later. This usually means that the toys are left on the playroom floor overnight.

    But unless I know I have more free time to spare, I usually play a "stand alone" story with my toys with a simple plot that can be finished quickly. If I have more time I'll try longer and more epic "complex" stories.

    I don't really play with my toys but mostly like to pose them and admire their sculpts/engineering. When I get a new toy that I like, I will usually pick it up and fiddle with it by triggering gimmicks and transforming it back and forth.

    See now what youve done! Play quietly in the corner Gok your disturbing the other kids at play!

    I usually fiddle play a few minutes then put em on their "place" on the shelves!
    I used to make stories in my head but since the collection has grown, I only end up now fiddle playing with a few figures a day sometimes every other day.....

    Cleaning the shelves takes more hours than it should due to this "fiddle play" in between wiping shelves

    I think "fiddle play" was the most popular last time we had this discussion and is all I get to do. Few would have the time or inclination to stage battles with them.

    I'd transform a new figure several times but then they tend to go into storage (unless it's an ace toy and then it has a longer shelf life).
