have ur friends ever laughed?

[Batty]

No body laughs. Largely because I am unstable and lash out violently. My friends are understanding and know I take my collection seriously. What gets said behind my back is another story I am sure.

However, my wife laughs at me all the time, ^^^^er!

I laugh at you, not your collection.

None of my friends or family laugh at my collection. Most think it's pretty cool.

 

[King Darkness]

I laugh at you, not your collection.

 

[uscmhicks]

All of my family laughs and thinks its retarded apart from 1 cousion who one ordered a sideshow figure that never arrived to him.

They say I should be spendng my money on something else and buying something useful.
But hell I have to money and its mine. If something appeals to me I'm buying it.

Screw your friends , its your life , buy what you want .

Most of them probably secretley think its awesome anyway , they just either have't got the patience or are too scard of what others might think getting into this hobby.

 

[Batty]

I said I don't laugh at your collection.

Have you ever asked them what they deem usefull ?

If they make you happy surely that is being usefull

i dont have any family and i only have a couple friends. i also have no stress or headaches. coincidence? if your friends call you a loser for what you collect i'd grab 'em by the neck. seriously. maybe that's why i dont have many friends.

 

[The Ween]

Almost everyone collects something, even if it's dust, so I just throw that into their faces if they say anything. My brother calls my collectibles "knicky-knacks" but I just bring up all his trains he has. He has 50 of the same exact N gauge coal car. And he's into nascar too. I only have work friends now because most of my good friends have moved away. None of them care what I do.

 

[Cryoguns]

From friends, no...but my wife gives me more than enough crap to make up for everyoen else NOT doing so

The few co-workers who have seen my collections have been pretty impressed.

 

[KBA]

My collection is mostly props and everyone doesn't seem to think anything of it. But now that a few 1/6 figures are being added, I guess I'll have to see what the new reaction is. I figure it's all in how your stuff is displayed

 

[LChinoz]

Friends...family...girlfriend...pretty much everyone I know who isn't a collector thinks I am such a nerd. I never got into Star Wars or Star Trek or anything so that helps a bit with some of them.

 

[EVILFACE]

Nope. They all get a kick out of it.

Sometimes my wife will show her friends my collection to tease me a bit, but they end up liking it.

 

[Ancient Astronaut]

The only thing I get is "I sure hope that wasn't too expensive, because with this economy we all gotta be very careful." Other then that I usually get compliments on my stuff.

 

[glyoung99]

I'm 6'6", nobody laughs at anything that I do.

Never had that happen. In fact it's the opposite, they usually are pretty impressed with the stuff i have.

My wife and Mother-in law like to show off my collection more then I do. Sometimes it drives me nuts... but most like some part of it.

I think we all have experienced friends that criticizes your interest.That just shows how little respect they have for other people`s interests.

Whatever you interests are,its something you enjoy and no one should take that away from you,they have their own hobbies which i wouldnt criticize because i know it makes them happy.

 

[LordAzrael]

I always get laughed at by everyone, friends, family, co-workers, everyone thinks I'm strange, but I don't care, I am who I am.

Me too Maulfan.... I do things cos I like to, not cos of what others think.

STFU sheeple I say :emperor

 

[LOTRFan]

Who would laugh at this ------

Honestly no, most people think that the replicas and props are cool; if anything PFs need a touch of explaining that they are not just large poseable dolls.

I'm pretty sure one the Berserker hits and is proudly displayed holding a decapitated head, the whole idea of "dolls" will go out the window.
