    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.

    Same. I don't stand there going pew pew or set up battle scenes, but I transform them back and forth idly while studying mainly.
    I'm really just here for the free food and open bar.

    Just curious Gok, what sort of storylines do you play out? Do you renact old G1 stories or do you make your own up? If you make up your own where do you get your ideas from? Are your storylines simple childish cartoon stories or more mature storylines like you see in some comics?
