>>11020295 is pretty much my story as well. I always liked toys and just never stopped buying them. Though I did have four older brothers and a lot of their stuff just kinda fell down to me, but more often then not things were busted or missing pieces. But still, I would play with whatever I could get my hands on and eventually started getting my own stuff...which I ended up losing and breaking a lot of.
I'd say the moment I went from "kid playing with toys" to "collector who plays with toys" is when I specifically went out and hunted down the brand new Armada Optimus Prime. By that point I had an actual job with disposable income and that toy just looked awesome. I still have a lot of my older stuff pre-prime, but I took way better care of things after I picked him up.
>>11020333>>11020345Back when I had my own apartment I would do this all the time. Just spread out all across my living room or my kitchen table or my bar. At one point I had a whole "world" set up with different factions in different sections of my place. Don't have much room to do that with my collection now, but I do spend a lot of time on the floor playing my soon to be two year old. Got her a whole town of Little People buildings and cars with the Paw Patrol doin all their rescue shenanigans. Her birthday is sunday and she's going to finally get the last two members of the team and the tower base for em!
>>11020349I would do that on my bed, throw a pillow under it to add some height and it would make a great evil mountain lair.
>>11020367Have you tried those little puzzle piece floor mats? Surprisingly comfy to lay on as an old dude. Though they do attract all the hair within a three mile radius.
>>11020455NTA but the left is the old Revol- Skeleton and the right is the new Fwoosh one. Best skeletons to get these days hands down though are the Boss Fight ones imo. Good mix of articulation and stability with a great range of styles, colors and accessories.
