- Wizard Of Oz Collector: Super Fan Spends £120,000 On Memorabilia

WIZARD Of Oz obsessed Walter Krueger is so enchanted with the Wizard of Oz that he's spent more than £120,000 on memorabilia. Now the 28-year-old is planning to open a museum to show off his collection of around 10,000 pieces -- which he believes could be one of the world's biggest. Walter became fascinated by the classic tale at just five-years-old after being given an Oz coloring book by his grandmother. He says its morals helped him through difficult times in life including the death of his mother when he was 16. His most treasured possession is a pair of replica ruby slippers which were given to him by his mother and are now worth around £20,000.

Poor baby, I wanna hug him so bad! Amazing collection though, definitely should be in a museum
I think that's the plan, eventually
He should be in a museum… 😂
Amazing. Glad there are people like him that collect this stuff. Props for doing it, and as a guy. People are evil. Do what your passionate about.
I would DIE!!!! I Love the Wizard Of Oz and also collect stuff, but nothing as amazing as his collection. Jesus, how Beautiful
Robert Guillen right? I have a collection of Oz stuff but no where near as amazing as his
awe, he seems so sweet and genuine. his massive collection seems very un creepy and wonderful, unlike many other collection obsessions out there.
I think this is amazing. I hope one day he turns his collection into a museme one day, I would definitely go.
AmandaShuNN81 I am friends with him and he is currently working on his museum
its replicas the real ones are in thhe museums
To each their own, don't hate on him. There are a lot worse things he could be doing with his spare time.
I think everyone should do whatever the hell they want, if they're just having fun and not hurting anyone, but holy shit
I pretty much like his made-up term, "OZsession."
A wonderful story. I certainly would visit his collection in the museum.
Spider-Man and Disney mean everything to me. I was bullied when I was younger, I lost many family members, and I show them who’s the boss with my inspiration of light messages and prevent dark thoughts getting in the way of my life’s purpose
Go for it, my friend! Everyone has their passion(s). Don't let the naysayers and jealous folks keep you from being happy.
OMG!!!
That is the most AWESOME collection EVER!!! :D
It's amazing dude :D
Yes :) ?
as a big Wizard of Oz fan, I would absolute freak out to be able to see a collection like this. I totally aspire to be like this dude and his awesome Ozsession!!
Such a sweet soul he is
These people are the reasons museums exist. They serve very important roles in our society at personal sacrifice. I bet this guy doesn´t have a booze or smoking habit and all his money goes into these objects.
As someone that loves The Wizard of Oz and now live in Kansas, I say, "go for your dream".
I really, really hope he can open his museum. I'd love to see his collection in person.
The fact that at 28 a film from a time long since gone enchanted him to this level is ok with me,
Your collection is amazing. The Wizard Of Oz is my favorite movie of all time. Your home is beautiful.

He is SO LUCKY I love the wizard of oz and have a collection if my own! Don't ever let anyone tell you to get rid of that amazing collection!
I think there are many people who collect and you have a right to collect what you love. I have every Hallmark wizard of oz ornaments Hallmark has ever made and then some. My father worked on the move and all his great stories has made me have happy memories of those stories. So remember we all have the things we love to collect and be proud you have a hobby that is so much fun to have.
Hope he can open up that museum!! Would love to see it.
I hope he gets that museum, it’s a pretty amazing collection and definitely people would want to see that considering the movie is so iconic and for every generation past and present the wizard of oz will always be a fan favorite and iconic in entertainment❤️
Thank you for sharing your beautiful collection. I would love to give you a great big hug as a fellow Wizard of Oz collector I was so impressed and I could feel your love and passion for your collection I wish you peace and light sincerely your friend Thomas
If this ever becomes a museum I definitely will come to ti someday and wanna see it in person like rn
Thanks for sharing your collection
I love the WIZARD OF OZ

Well done Walt, loved both oz films. 👏 hope your collection is appreciated by fans and wish you every success 👍 now click your heels and fly Fly FLYYYYYYYYY
One of the original pairs of red slippers had been stolen from the Judy Garland museum at the birthplace of Judy Garland in my home state of Minnesota. They still have not recovered them and they have been missing for along time now.
I'd live in his house if he sold his memorobilia id buy it
WOW!!! It's wonderful.
Amazing Walter! xx
You go, Walter!
I love the wizard of oz!! Who cares what other people said. I'm 28 and i still watch the movie when ever i can. The Wicked Witch is my fav!!
awe so sweet i hope hes doing well.
Impressive. But I recon I can get more Wizard of Oz memorabilia than him and find a big enough space/house/palace to display it all in.
He probably has like way more now than 8 yrs ago❤
You have a great collection and it’s great that you are following something you have such a passion for. I think you’re really interesting & sweet. Keep following your dream & passion.
I love that movie
i could not sleep in a house like that to much dolls
I listened to a recent podcast of Unspooled that he was on. He's spent up to $700,000 on the collectables
Wonderful! Love everything about it.

We would get along ...amazing collection. Where do these people get the money to spend like that. Even through time, I’m like nope ide never ever have that money. Lol 😂 but good for him and everyone else that has money 💰. It’s like some people can pull it $ out of thin air. He has some high $$$$$ priced stuff .
I can see your a super wizard of Oz fan like me I grew up watching the movie on tv and have a copy on vhs and I just ordered a copy of the movie on DVD

Because of the wonderful things he does;
We're off to see the wizard, The wonderful Wizard of Oz.
GREAT COLLECTION MAN.!! IF I COULD I WOULD
You are beautiful Walter! Love your collection :)
600k? No way. Maybe 10k on a good day.
He's got me beat. I only have about 25 items!
My mom has a 1935 wizard of Oz plate with all the characters looking to sell
Wow so beautiful I might as well get some collections of oz and start a channel of wizard of oz for it
Some of those dolls creep me out
Dorathy's ruby shoes are actually silver
Oh my God poor baby
I'm friends with him
The OZ Collector your lucky
Oh my so much money
I wonder if he's read the novel series by L Frank Baum?
I have a podcast called The Wonderful Lizard!
To each his own but I would sell everything and get one or two actual original pieces. Plus not as much to clean omg.
That’s cool
I mean the people who worked on these films were primarily men, whats the difference in a man collecting the stuff?
u look sad but your collection is great. I love the movie have got so I can almost narrate the whole thing good luck with your future collection
I got a weird old wicked witch doll from oz it’s comes with white stand and black hat she pretty big. Have u seen one of them?
