COLLECTING

*mikey0* · 02-05-2004, 10:17 AM

I am having a hard time collect other toy lines besides TMNT. One minute I like star wars , then MOTU, then LOTR, then Transformers, then G.i. Joe, then other toy lines. What should I do?

Stop collecting.

Odds are, you aren't going to be able to collect every toy from every line you come across. You could ask yourself why you're collecting all these toys. Just to have them? Because you like to play with them? Display?

The obvious answer is to stop "collecting". Just get the toys you want and stop worrying about getting everything.

If you're going to collect something, don't collect toys. Collect something REAL and worth collecting, just like me.

What have I started collecting, you ask? Well, take a look at my avatar for a clue

OK OK, in case you don't know who that is (to the newbs), that's Trent Reznor, mastermind and pretty much sole member of *points to sig*. Yeah.

NO, I'm not stalking him. What I am doing is simply trying to collect as much NIN memorabilia as I can. Already one rung of that ladder is complete; I now own all of the current domestically released offcial albums, catalogued as "Halos". The only domestic release I'm really missing is the limited edition of Halo 17, And All That Could Have Been, and although I know at least one positive place where I can get it brand new, it will have to wait awhile since I still don't have a job as of yet.

Anyway, my goal is own at least one of each NIN memorabilia item eventually. I mean everything of EVERYTHING: both the import and domestic versions of every offcial CD release, every vinyl release, every cassette tape release and VHS, every t-shirt, sticker, patch, poster, and the miscellany such as mouse pads. There was one item I saw on eBay not long ago that I'm kicking myself in the butt for not even having bid on it, and it was--get this--a NIN promotional CONDOM! Still in the package! Of course, knowing the absurdity and ludicrousity of many eBay auctions today, it's understandable why I was a bit skeptical, plus I wanted to take this collecting one step at a time and start with the domestic CDs first since they were the easiest to find (although some of them such as Fixed are as hard to find as import releases).

If I start making some real money soon, expect me to make headlines (at least NIN news site headlines) in the next 2 or 3 years

They make for great balloons.

But that ruins the resale value

Besides, if I had won that acution, I would've just left it unopened.
