To old to collect TFs?

[GoktimusPrime]

I've been collecting and playing with Transformers since 1984. They're just damn fun toys to play with and I love the lore. I had people tell me I was too old for Transformers as early as 1985 - I didn't listen to them then, I sure as hell wouldn't pay any attention to such comments now!

I have a room in my house that isn't just a collection room, it's my play room. I still do the whole fantasy play thing - story, voices, sound effects etc. Just yesterday I was playing around with WFC Optimus Prime, Drift, my PCC Commanders, moofie Scattorshot, Cybertron Scattorshot, Animated Cliffjumper, Animated Blitzwing, Animated Dirge, Animated Thundercracker and Crossovers Battle Droid/Tank. You can read about it later on the Toy Story thread.

I think I'd stop collecting Transformers if I ever stopped playing with them. Which thankfully I never have. Although I have stopped playing with some other toy lines, which I will be putting up for sale soon.

I really like my toys, and they keep me happy right now. Yes, there are always better stuff I could have spent my money on, but there are also worse stuff out there.

That's a good point. I always remind the wife that I could be going out to the pub every week and spending money on alcohol but instead I choose to spend my money elsewhere. You'd be surprised how effective this works

I have the feeling that I'll be giving up collecting, sooner rather than later. Me and the missus are currently shopping for a new home at the moment and in the past, one of my prerequisites was that I had to have a spare room to display my stuff. Now, I just want a games room for an air hockey/pool table instead. Also, in the past, whenever there was a sighting for a new toy, I'd be doing a mad dash to grab it whereas now I just wait until I'm out shopping to grab it and even if its out of stock, I just go "meh". I also find that I'm now concentrating on collecting toys, not necessarily TFs, that have more of a wow factor, something I can potentially display around my future home that guests can see and comment on (for this reason, I find valkyries awesome, particularly displayed in fighter mode). Plus, I find buying toys for my daughter rather than myself, brings a bigger smile to my face.

I'm 34 soon and I have many toys and an understanding partner, eg massive diecast model car collection, TF, Macross and cars such as a modified FPV GT and Nissan 370Z.

Toys give you motivation to earn money to buy more toys!

So just keep going and enjoy yourself!

I'm in my late 20's, don't feel old anymore

Age is just a number, if you still enjoy it then why should you stop?

It would seem according to Target, yes if you are over 10 years old

G'day Gok. You are a true TF fan that allways tells it how it is.You are a fountain of Tf knowledge, down to earth, happy to help and have a great sence of humor. I think you have helped make this website what it is today. Not sure why your not a mod! Perhaps you have turned it down. Good to hear from you.
