    Every time I get a new TF my wife's first question is "how much?" (she's an ex-accountant which might explain why)

    She likes looking but isn't really all that interested in fiddling or playing. During our earlier days of marriage she would sometimes move a TF from one shelf to another to see if I would notice... and I would. I'd walk into my TF room, spot the misplaced TF, then put it back on its original shelf. At first it was because she'd knock one down while cleaning the room and unsure where it came from just put it back on any shelf. After a while she'd try it on purpose, but I'd still catch her out. So now she doesn't try (that and the fact that I clean my own TF room now too - now that we're living in a 2-storey house she doesn't like dragging the vacuum cleaner upstairs so I get delegated with vacuuming upstairs ).

    She used to find it really strange when she would catch me playing with my toys, i.e.: she could hear me making noises and doing voices from downstairs, and occasionally walk in on me playing (NOOO!). She'd be like, "what are you doing!?" But she's used to the sight of a grown man (her husband no less) playing with toys now. Sometimes she sits in the TF room while I play and she'll read a book or something. Ehehehe. She was doing some study and listening to classical music in my TF room yesterday when I took those Beast Wars Volcano Base action shots. There's some irony and coolness to posing BW toys while listening to the Swan Lake theme.

    My missus does the same . Only she takes them completely and hides them somewhere, usually her bag. And then she asks me which on is missing, although she usually just takes a mini-con so I can just check all the teams and partners are there.

    She also doesn't like it when I get new ones. It is always "how much did you spend?" and then she scolds me...
    She does like playing with them though, just trying to transform them back and forth. She isn't to bad at figuring it out, even without a reference too. But that is as close as she will get to them.

    My wife doesn't do that, but she does the next most scary thing- she continually offers to buy me any Transformer I want and she asks which is the most valuable and hardest to obtain.

    I'm not about to take her up on her offer because I believe these are my Transformers and I want to be buying them myself. So I told her that she shouldn't buy me any Transformers just in case she mistakenly buys me one that I already have and that would be a waste of money, heh.

    You should teach her how to become an expert scout on Demonbay... (That way she'd do the hard work for you )

    GOLD! That's pretty much it, only that I'm lying on the floor instead of sitting at a table.
