I just don't understand how it's possible to amass collections this large. How do you pay for all this stuff?

I have a sh*tload.  (Wasted a bunch of $$ too)  I only have pictures here of my original G1 collection though.

Lio Kaiser from Allspark and his brother DJ Soundwave. They have nearly everything, and extras of things you wish you had one of.

He didn't have pictures online I don't think. I know he did post pics at one time of his GI Joe collection. Like they had a legion of Vipers. You'd have to go to Allspark and PM him I think. I can't do that tho.

 

I figure I would be over 2000 toys if I didn't stop collecting for 2 years and didn't get rid of most of them. If I didn't stop collecting those 2 years, I would probably have nearly 700 or 800 TFs, based on how much I had bought previously.

autobotmaximal's collection is fierce

I'm humbled, but I'm pretty sure I stopped collecting for too long for mine to be close to the size of a lot of these folks. So many years missed. A lot of people were collecting the whole way through and also have many resources that I would love to have. If I had a friend with an online store, things would be so much better. :P

I wish I could remember who had it, and they had posted it somewhere here, but he had well over 1000, and all MIB.... 'cus I remember ripping him for not opening any of 'em....

 

I'll keep looking.

 

Edit:  Found it... his name was the Pogoman... unfortunately none of the pix are showing up anymore :(

My collection hit 1314 figures today.  I know there are bigger ones out there, but mine is up there.  Unfortunatly I'm being made to box most of them up and put them in storage in the basement.  Can't wait to have my own place

Amen brother!

 

Why it seems that Rubbermaid Totes have gone up since I last had to buy them?  They cost like $12 now and last time I bought them they were only $7.
