>Shitty bachelor apartment/part time job>Small collection of Video game figures and mecha.>Shitty self display made of CD rack inserts because of no space some real ghetto shit>Only picked up figures at cons and LCS's usually paying ass rape prices because didn't know better. >Worked on custom toys as a secondary hobby with the most basic tools and a shitty workspace which generated a decent secondary income.>Never really a brand snob because didn't know better.Now
>Well paying full time job decent sized apartment>Multiple detolfs and wall shelves and still not enough space (Adding 2 more detolfs in a week).Display so intricate I can control the lights with my voice.
>Budget went from 300$ a year to possibly $300 a month. >Still not really a brand snob but still feel most western offerings are shit. Picked up my first ML's and I'm already reselling one after trying to pose it once. > Collection covers all scopes of media except Hollywood.. >Large work space created for customization/photography with all the bells and whistles. Job gives no time for it though. Future
>Might move into 1:6 as the offerings from some Threezero and the Chinese companies like Coreplay have intrigued me.>Dedicated vacation time to relearn traditional sculpting and 3D modeling as might get back into customization but strictly as a hobby.Honestly money/time is number one factor in mine and most collectors habits. My backlog is almost clear so I'm probably going to reduce my spending significantly.
