What do others think of your collection?

My wife is cool with it, actually she's very supportive and even listens to me ramble off random turtle facts. She grew up with them too and is a "fan". (meaning she's thinks there cool, but isn't all about watching them all the time or playing with/collecting tmnt, she has her own toy and cartoon collections so she relates.) Friends are always like "wow cool dude, is this stuff worth anything?", but overall most of them don't really care. Allthough some of them get me turtle stuff as gifts knowing I collect. Parents never come around much, the one time they did, they weren't impressed. Pretty lame considering my Dad collects Hot Wheels cars, maybe he was jealous that my TMNT collection blew his decades old car collection out of the water. They did however get me a TMNT T-shirt for christmas this year, better than the "grandma got ran over by a reindeer" shirt that I got last year and never wore. on the subject of Shirts I'm a relatively small build guy and I wear S or M, but anytime someone buys me a shirt they get XL for some reason rendering it useless, I look like a little kid in 'em. Maybe if i was a thug that would be cool.
