I've seen collections where they have so much that they've got shelves right atop their beds and "book"cases right behind them, all filled with 3.75"/6" stuff and whatever else. But let's be honest, anyone that deep is not gonna get deep in that other place...I don't think that's a practical concern in the situation you illustrated.
Oh, absolutely. Lack of balance runs rampant. We've become too comfortable, looking for easy pleasure instead of genuine fulfilment.
Not so different from those dudes obsessed with fantasy football leagues etc. -- it's basically D&D for jocks (or wannabe jocks).
Very much true!!
I'd argue that D&D at least has you playing something and interacting with people. Owning 20 different 6" Cyclops plastic figures that gather dust is even more of a non-hobby.
I don't think it's the same, collecting that is. If you're passionate about something external and you put in the work, it shows commitment. Music, the Arts, anything. As long as you're producing something material, it's a plus. If your "passion" is simply an aspect of consuming, can it really be called a "passion" instead of a compulsion of sorts? Someone whose passion is, dunno, woodworking, and has carved a slew of items, and a guy whose passion is rewatching every Trek show on repeat and having an encyclopedic knowledge of the universe, aren't exactly the same.
I stare at Doom's condescending and wrathful eyes the whole time, and I'm motivated to do better.
Fair enough. But it's a specialized form of curating that relates back to an experience or well-loved stories. At least when it *is* curating and not hoarding, but we've discussed this repeatedly on these boards of course.
There are different types of engagement. Curation of something that relates back to something that was (or is) meaningful can be perfectly valid, but as we've agreed, these things are best when there's some restraint and logic imposed on it.
See above.
Boy, you ain't right.
Kostis is a legend. Just yesterday he added a TL;DR to one of his posts that was still three paragraphs long.
Yup, just do it elsewhere. Off Topic forum, Private Conversation, just not in this thread.Keep on keeping on Kostis!

This is the Movie & TV Show discussion forum, there are other appropriate threads you all can discuss the psychology of figure collecting in.
The first rule of Collector Freaks: Don't talk about being a collector freak unless it's in Private Conversation or the appropriate Off-Topic subforum...
. I mean I understand but I’ve done it multiple times before. Now we have to stay on topic. Weird cause for the longest time I thought all the mods left this forum.
Yeah, especially those that like the new S&M Riddler in The Batman...
Ultimately that's my point. Curating a collection is a valid side-hobby, although I do think one needs a more active main one as well. Hoarding is what we want to avoid.
Bah, you just don't understand the subtleties of Chaos Magick. Soon enough, I'll be Doom!
Don't forget Nuclear Armageddon in my backyard and the 5th Dimensional Imps watching my every move!

And I don't mean any disrespect because I am absolutely not one to talk, lol.
Keep on keeping on Kostis!
I was all set to post this gif in response until it actually hit me that he is NOT the same guy that played the Riddler, lol.Yeah, especially those that like the new S&M Riddler in The Batman...
They definitely run with a bad crowd...
Mods have a thankless job, they're volunteers (or paid like a nickel a month or something), and they can't be everywhere at once. Which must be why they're generally inconsistent with what they enforce and when. This is not an attack on Mods, I wouldn't do any better and wouldn't even try. It's just the nature of the beast I guess.Huh the mods seem to be … doing a lot of modding lately. Wtf is going on? I just got a warning for telling someone to shut up
First intovoid comes back and now mods are modding again. Hmmmm.
We still love you darthkostis lolUltimately that's my point. Curating a collection is a valid side-hobby, although I do think one needs a more active main one as well. Hoarding is what we want to avoid.

@Darth Snoopy
I was playing a quirky character, trying to bring some flair in the threads. But I guess I went too far...
Alas, it's time for this persona to be laid to rest...
