>>8320499I studied in my 20's, made it through college, and even made it through graduate school. I dated, settled down, have two kids (6 and 4) and have a relatively high paying job with a house and 2 dogs.
Spare me your life story, anon. You missed the boat not once, not twice, but THREE times on some highly requested and sought after figures. So now you have 3 options, pray NECA wastes time, resources, and character slots to rerelease the turtles because people like you with such busy and intense lives missed it on 3 different occasions, pay latecomer taxes on eBay, or get the bootlegs.
Also, it's not hard collecting toys and having kids. As long as you aren't raising retards, keeping them from fucking up your shit is a cake walk. Most of my figures are behind glass, and the ones that aren't (and I'm talking expensive shit like MP Dinobot, prop replicas, and 3rd party Transformers) never get messed with because my kids aren't morons and actually respect my stuff.
