I know i have been for a while now
>>11736522I make it a point to keep what I love or need, but I take a few times a year to purge whatever i will to make room for what i still consoom
>>11736531I don't get it, if they were worth so much why not keep them in his room or the bank? Even if you hate your son, no woman would throw away money. Also I blame his mom because he is fat and she apparently still feeds him.
>>11736545I see you've noticed the many conflicts he gets himself in. Enjoy
>>11736522Definitely not me. I have had a habit of "impulse-buying" stuff that in the end I really didn't care for. I usually end up trashing it, unloading it at a comic book shop that buys toys, or donating it. And I'm not a completist. I won't buy an ugly figure or a variant just to "complete a collection." My collection has a habit of staying much smaller than it could be because of it.
This thread again?
>>11736522I feel like I am because I can't bring myself to throw away any of the boxes the toys come with.
>>11736985I only keep ones that are actually reuseable as storage like SHF boxes or certain robot toys. That habit started with my Power Rangers Megazord, where I made the mistake of eventually disposing of the boxes to save space and then quickly lost the horns of the triceratops, tusks of the Mastadon, and the sword for the megazord.
>>11736615Why not?
I'm a massive hoarder unfortunately. At least I have a basement to store it all away.
>>11736522I'm spending this year getting rid of crap. Everything still in a box, except for stuff I bought for spare parts or fodder, is getting listed and sold and dumped.Shit that I should have listed and dumped is getting listed as well.>>11736531>>11736545I'm not an Ant and even on my laptop that won't embiggen large enough to read.>>11736985See first point, cardboard is the worse kind of garbage to hold onto.
>>11740460His comics are an eyesore to read. You not only have to read the words, you have to follow what's happening in its abstract glory
>>11736522I'm not a hoarder since I honestly can't afford it but you'd be upset that so much of my stuff is still boxed up.
>>11736522Depends on how you define hoarder. I've got around 300-400 figures, including about 60 that I haven't opened yet(This is bad, I'll admit), though everything that's open is neatly displayed in my home office with a couple of figures accenting two bookshelves in my bedroom. But that's a collection accumulated after 16 years and I don't have a problem getting rid of stuff I've lost interest in. Currently, I don't buy a new figure without getting rid of one first, so I'm not planning to let the collection get much bigger than it is now and can see myself cutting down further in the future.
>>11740470You're supposed to read them on paper. Some of the books are huge.
>>11742462I like the action figure themed ones but I picked up this book and it was a bust. Some of the childhood ones were OK but I would rather have passed on it.
>>11740460For what it's worth i bought the physical book and the print is so small it's just as impossible to read as the digital version. It's fucking maddening.
>>11742914i also picked up this book based on the action figure themed pieces i'd seen postedthe entire thing is just about old dudes creeping on underage girls
>>11736522how many is count as hoarder?
>>11736522How does one get rid of a hoard realistically? Asking for a friend
>>11745781There's no fixed number imo. It's when you start buying much faster than you can open them, are running out/out of space but still buying, and individual figures no longer spark joy because you just see them as a mob.>>11746787Start selling off/donating/trashing the figures that are least important to you.
>>11746900I will sell and donate them but i refuse to trash anything. Thx
>>11736522hoarding is cool, moist critical has shelves full of stuff and seems to enjoy what he has
>>11742914>>11742462By golly these covers are overdesigned>>11746918I wouldn't call it hoarding if everything fits on several shelves and is displayed and organized
>>11747059>>11744462It's likely intentional. The most depressing stories ever, hidden by a jovial first impression from which you may never recover.
>>11746918He's rich, he lives in a Mansion with 50 rooms and doesn't need to rent storage.Just like Rudy alpha investments, hoarding isn't something middle class people can afford.
>>11747088They did a lunchbox too of when he was a kid and if you follow the story around the sides it is him gettting beat up by bullies and his money stolen. At the end he is putting stuff back in the lunchbox and it says something like "I love you my big boy, I know you are going to have a great day!"
>>11748613and it just got worse
>>11736522I know I am and I blame FOMO culture that's gone full force on all fronts in recent years and the scalper market that's accompanied it.I find myself buying a bunch of toys that I just end up storing away in the attic as soon as they arrive. The reason I do is when I see a figure or toy I only sort of want I tell myself "Well, years down the line I might want it more and if I don't get it now it will be super hard for me to find" so I just buy it and "store it for later". I have almost an entire store shelf worth of unopened Lego sets that I got just because they were retiring and didn't want to pay triple the price for them when I finally had enough time or interest to assemble them.Worst part is I used to make fun of people like this and wpuld tell myself I'd never become like them.
>>11749042Im the same way but i have no idea how to get rid of alot of this stuff. I was gonna use facebook marketplace but i recently deleted my facebook because fuck meta. So ill have to figure out another avenue to rid myself of excess toys i dont want anymore.
>>11749448ebay or a local place that buys toys if you dont have a Book Off
>>11748614a whole table for yourself, that's what you call a power move true alpha king shit right here. this guy fucks teachers and his bullies moms no problem.
