Did the toys you played with as a kid end up having any relation to what you do as an adult?

In hindsight I didn't really play with toys, which is probably just another indicator of autism that got ignored.

I remember my mum got pissed that my aunt wouldn't let me touch her beautiful collectible teddy bears, and now I have like 6k of bears on the shelf next to me. So sure, I guess.

>built bases for my green army men out of whatever shit
>had huge race wars between my PVC ninjas because I somehow had a hundred of them
>Transformers Cybertron mexican standoffs where Autobots and 'Cons would line up and blast the fuck out of each other
>crazy skirmishes with my legos because I wanted to play PVP games but couldn't run them on the family computer
Never once mixed my toys together and I'm worse off for it. Toys never influenced me either.

I think Lego inspired a sense of control. I hated it when other kids would visit my house and mess with my creations. I also try to be systematic/modular when I rearrange my room. every part of my room: bed, shelves, desk are all hugging the wall right now because I need that big empty space in the middle. I wanted to use that space to play with toys on the floor, but I never do that. I am happy with the general flow ive created though

>mixed up all my toys and lines and built elaborate dioramas/towns and made up societies and lore and quests etc
>still mix lines/series and arrange dioramas and enjoys miniatures as an adult
Guess so. Picrel, probably influenced my diorama/miniature autism and line mixing as I mixed in other toys with them.
