Fan Poll - How Do You Feel About People Touching Your Toys?

Collecting is not easy. No one sees all the hunting, shopping and searching we do just to get things. Then there is the all the work involved in dealing with the packaging, play time, placement and display of the collection. IF your collection is really BIG, storing your extra stuff literally opens a whole new dimension of collecting.

It's strange I don't mind if another collector touchs one of my pieces. Because there is a level of respect there they know how to handle it. But if anyone else goes for one it's a different story.

Collector Shame is a real thing, unfortunately. Some people have no problems with casting judgement on anyone who enjoys something they don't understand. The same judgemental mentality behind "video games are for kids" will happily try to convince you that "Transformers/whatever you collect is for kids, you need to grow up". Because some folks just aren't happy unless you're miserable.

Indeed, America is slowly catching up with the rest of the world that sees collecting as an intelligent endeavor.

Interesting poll. I did a video response. Basically only I can touch and can touch if they ask.

 

Hahah, that IS soooo awesome. THANK YOU!

Thanks to @NOTRAB who's got this new Collaborative figure with new shots of the dark knight in robot and alternate modes. - Read the Full News Story

    • Grahf, you made excellent points, and I got a chuckle at how you ended. Hasbro has been sending me, "hey, where have you been?" Spam-mail lately, and to tell you the truth, I have bought very little tf's from Pulse or anywhere else in 2024, which had already seen a steady decline year after year for several years now. It's not financial constraints, though I think my wife is happier to see a spending reduction. The real reason for me is exemplified by these latest Hascon "reveals." I'm not interested in any of these and until Hasbro gets it's act together, I won't be buying anything more from them, and I used to spend at least a thousand a year or more per year for the past decade or so. You can't tell Mr that Hasbro can't use "Selects" to give us some obscure characters like Dogfight, Horri-bull, or Backstreet, just to name a few, at least one a quarter. Going back to my wife, she said to me recently, "wow, you hardly bought any Transformers this year!" Her saying that really got me thinking and I got frustrated me about Hasbro's lack of direction. They may find that when you alienate your customers for too long, they might not ever come back. I've lost hope that we'll see an updated Outback, Windcharger, Tailgate,  or Powerglide,  again, just to name a few, and that's poor product planning and execution. I can deal with a lot of things, like poor qc, but just ignoring fans and then insuling them with tf "reveals" like what we just got, yeah, I'll keep laughing and deleting your emails begging me yo come back...for now. You better right the ship, Hasbro, cause I'm guessing if I feel this way, so do many others, too.
