    I been toy collecting since I was a kid, displaying figures and vehicles. The only way I was able to afford these toys was because I had to work with my parents 😂 I was a kid the stuff I was collecting was hot wheels and Gi joe. After I got to 6th grade I started to careless about toys and more about women and going out, to the point I told myself " I'm too grown to be buying toys " 😂 and just gave my whole collection to my nephew. 2020 Covid hits and I started collecting again and now my collection is just random with 1/6 figure, comics, statues, skate decks, designer toys, cards, art, collectibles in general so I'm definitely back and now I own some really cool pieces that I thought I would never own because how expensive they are. As of right now it's a buyers market and the deals are everywhere.

    I’m about to turn 58. I don’t feel like I’m too old to be collecting, but I do feel like I’m too old to be toy hunting. I buy everything online that I possibly can. The only time I check toy aisles at retail is when I’m picking up something else at the store. I stoped asking employees to look up DCPI numbers and pull stock from the back a long time ago. I no longer pay any attention to boxes sitting on carts either. If it’s not sitting on the pegs, I don’t wanna know. I imagine I will have to stop collecting when I retire due to financial aid space considerations, but until then, I’m enjoying myself.

    • @DSIkonz

It's not easy walking through local toy departments though and remembering looking for his holy grail characters. I get all nostalgic. Personally, I think toys are cool and bring me peace. I don't have the patience or the energy to go hunting for them anymore, though.

    To be fair to manager can't do that he can get into a lot of trouble with the company if the toy company finds out because thier street dated for a reason so the thing is by selling it beforehand they can get fined or told that they can no longer carry any of their product. Now sometimes a more experienced employee will override it and sell it and that's how people get it cuz they don't want to bother getting the manager involved because that alone is extra work cuz they don't want to. dealing with the manager is bad enough they don't even want to be there especially early in the morning.

    I'm seriously buying less on impulse,partly because of space and rising costs.
    I've turned 48 this year and I'm also finding things I've bought , either don't get unboxed, or I regret buying even after a week on the Shelf.
    Star Wars , Marvel, Gi Joe figures lots of these things I'm losing my love of , probably because they don't look exactly how I want them to.
    Now if Legends made a classic Hobgoblin, Spider-Man,Black Cat and Mary Jane just like early Romita Jr art I'd be tempted.
    What I am collecting, although I don't have them in hand yet is the JoyToy 3.75" TMNT figures,they look so cool and take up little space,which I really don't have lol.

    Saw this video pop up and checked it out. Yes, we are to old, we should be out and about teaching the youth, fixing the environment, making positive change to make sure the next generation are set. Instead we are rummaging through Targets, Walmarts, Ollie’s, Ross, Flea Markets looking for toys, arguing with people that don’t agree with our likes and opinions, harassing store employees to look in the back, and being petty. Then, when we find that super sought after toy, we complain that something’s wrong with it and post on social media that the world is gonna end because my toys eyes are cockeyed…this is our reality. We are toy collectors, yeah there’s some good that comes with what we do, but the focus really is on the bad side of it…as long as your okay with this, it’s all good. I mean we could be doing other unhealthy habits like alcohol, drugs, gambling, and violence. So being petty or selfish about toys don’t seem so bad…

I remember l didn't get a lot because l other brothers too so my parents got me what I could. There was still a lot figures l didn't get back then now with a job l can buy figures l didn't get as a kid. I am back collecting g1 transformers. Gi joe classified, and Motu origins and masterverse. I work so l am going to buy that simple. We are never to old, because collecting figures were a big part of childhood. Nobody can't take that away the memories of collecting and playing with friends.

    I’m 40 and I’m not denying myself my figures. I feel like I was a kid longer than I’ve been an adult and well… it felt like it was an awful long time being told I couldn’t have it. I’m making up for it. 😆
    …….
    That being said, I’m all over place as to what I collect. One of the things I collect is 1/6 scale figures, which is why I’m here.

    I'm 36 and I've been collecting since I was a kid. But, I've decided that I only want to get the things that truly matter to me so I can wrap it up someday. And I'm looking into making some things myself just in case that an official item never gets made.

    At 56 I buy most things online . Unless I see ttem in the store .
    When I go into Walmart, Target , Ollies , or GameStop I'll check the toys .
    Sometimes I get a good find .
    I'd never fight a child for a toy . Lol
    You do that it's time to check yourself .
    Bills come first , but I dont go anywhere . My children are all grown .
    My first marriage wnded , and my second wife passed away .
    I don't want to get remarried so I collect .
    I don't care what anyone thinks .
    Keep collecting .

    Great content Brotha. I’m 43 and collect mainly Classified. I myself have been collecting for 25+years. Started collecting comics and Marvel cards as a kid. Then got into McFarlane Spawn & Horror figures. Then Funko Pop. Ended up selling those collections entirely to fund the start of my Classified Collection four years ago.

    Here's another reason as to why I collect 1/6... You don't have to go hunting for the newest releases!
    I also collect the GI-Joe Classified line. And preordering them is quick and easy!
    When the GI-Joe Classified line was just getting started. There was an exclusive wave being released at Target.
    Grown ass men throwing toddler temper tantrums in the store and on Facebook. That behavior made action figure collectors worldwide look bad!
    What's even crazier... These guys had absolutely no shame in their behavior, and would then brag about how they fought and argued with the teenage Target employees.
    These same individuals still get upset when they see other collectors having multiples of something.

    27 years old now and been collecting 1:18 scale/4 inch Marvel figures since “09 when I was 13yo, the reason I know how long ago is because I still have my Wolverine figure from the X-men Origins: Wolverine movie and I know that movie released in 2009. I didn’t start collecting Gi Joe until I hit 19 and just recently I’ve gotten into collecting DC & Star Wars in 2022. I no longer collect new gi joe figures because they only make them in 6 inches now and not the 1:18 scale, so now I have an ever growing collection of 1:18 scale Marvel, DC & Star Wars figures👍👍

    Something similar happened to me, to what happened to you with that McFarlane Robin Hood figure. I was at Walmart and found a Charizard amiibo in the game section shelf, thought it was ready to be purchased. Little did I know, it wasn't on the system yet, it wasn't suppose to be in shelves, and I couldn't purchase it until release date.
    ILuckily I don't collect amiibo anymore, but have a huge adult Dragon Ball statue figure collection and a decent Kotobukiya Marvel Now collection. Fun hobby but hella expensive lol. Im 31 now, started collecting when I was 23, stopped a bit in between and started going strong again a bit before and during the Pandemic lol.

    New subscribers and late to the conversation, but not the topic. I'm 50 years old and have been collecting since the 90s. If you want to be technical, I've been collecting all my life, because what I started collecting as an adult, is what I collected as a child. Technically most of the modern figures are stated for "adult collectors". If adults didn't buy these, the companies would go out of business.

    Sadly, the managers aren't in a position to override that street date. They can mark it as a different item, but that leads to shrink numbers. Per their agreement with the companies, if there is an audit and they sold before the street date, they get fined serious money per infraction. So that managers job would be toast.
    Really, one main issue is how TOXIC the collecting community has become. They are abusive to workers and just overall nasty.
    A secondary issue is that it's become a side hustle for people. So the toy hunt isn't just about trying to beat other collectors to the store. It's also a dash to beat the resellers who stand there and scan items to see how they are selling.
    Honestly, it's crazy anymore, and that is why I've cut my collecting habits back tremendously.
    It's supposed to be a fun hobby, not another stress producer. Life is stressful enough, and collecting action figures aren't worth adding even a miniscule amount of stress.

    No. I'm 66 years old, I am a 30+ years Collector, I also previously owned my own Comic Book Store for 24 years. I have built a small Multiverse, 10 different Earth's; 6 DC, 3 Marvel, and a Fantasy Earth; I have approximately 5,600 Total Figures. Sounds like a lot but I know at least 4 You Tubers with 10,000, and 1 with 20,000. Despite having twice as many DC Earth's I have far more Marvel Figures as my Marvel Earth's are far more Complete. Only my Earth 1, Main DC is fairly Complete. Another problem with DC is that they never gave us enough Villains. Only on my Earth 3; Crime Syndicate, do the Villains outnumber the Heroes. I am the oldest collector I know, but I know at least 4 guys 58 and 59 who are Collecting, so I don't feel too weird.

Who knows maybe they will take it when i die and open a toy store or something if my nephew or somebody elses kid dont get it first. Half of them dont even play video games anymore unless its something like roblox or something on a phone app.
