I'm moving out of home to a different city for university in 2 weeks. I'm trying to take as many of my toys as possible, but I know I'll have to leave behind some of my childhood bros.

Anyone else been through this situation pf deciding which one's to take?

Yeah. I collected things I felt I could live without (or I could easily buy again at a later date, sold as much of it as I could and handed off what I couldn't to like-minded friends.

It does royally suck.

bring ONE thing that isn't valuable/rare like a happy meal toy, a minifigure or something from imaginext. You're likely going to buy new stuff anyway and see your old toys again (unless, god forbid, the unlikely happens), your university/city probably has a really cool comic book or big box store.

A long time ago I didnt get to bring everything during my move, but i really loved setting up new teams with purchases from Goodwill and the little ninjas and aliens from the gumball machines

I had to sell off most of my collection to move. I first started by separating out the things I absolutely wanted to take, and selling the things I really didn't. Then I worked towards the middle, usually comparing everything to my absolute favorites.

Why did you bring back toys covered in feces?

Shit, seeing everyone say they had to sell off a lot is making me nervous. I still live with my parents and I’ve been in this same room for all 22 years I’ve been alive. I’ll probably be here for another 2-3 years while I’m going to school. But then I’m gonna move out. And I can’t imagine selling any of my collection, I feel like I’ll want to take 90% of it with me. But at the same time moving from place to place with my collection seems like such a burden. I wish I could just poof everything with me instead of having to pack it all up. And then I’m sure wherever I move I’ll have even less space than I do now so I probably wouldn’t even be able to setup everything.

If you don't mind killing resale value, packing them without their box saves a lot of space. You'll need a shit load of bubblewrap and paper though.

College sucks, don't go. You'll just be crushed with debt and hate your life later on. Stay home and play with toys.

Take a few of your favourites since that is all you need and leave the rest of the shit behind. You don't need them.

Box up what you aren't going to take with you and either ask your folks to keep them safe or rent a storage unit.

My advice is that if there's anything that you want to sell, get it gone before you leave, and make sure to pack up things well and safely, don't leave anything sitting out.

I say this because I left my collection at my parents' house years ago, then my brother fucking wrecked the whole house completely out of the blue, most of my collection got damaged, few boxes were spared. There's no telling what evil misfortune may befall you in life. My brother was apparently just assmad that he didn't get enough designer clothes or live in a fancy house to brag about around his friends.

No him but I'm pretty sure drill hand, mace hand, blue frog and the smiling black one in the back are all Gormiti.
The robot hashtag is from the company that made those transforming numbers I think.
I have no idea about gnome, grenade monster or the demon though.

Box it all up and make sure your parents don't throw it out (talk to them about it). Other wise grow up and stop collecting childrens stuff during your young adult years. /toy/ won't like it but it's the correct answer. You don't want to be the weirdo guy who collects power rangers or MLP toys in college, it will isolate you and make you an outcast. Try exploring other interests and picking up only very select high quality items or work on building toys (model kits). Transition from a "child toy collector" to an adult toy maker and you will be cool. If not... enjoy being laughed at for having ninja turtles on your shelf at 20.

As much as I'd like to disagree with you, I'd have to say you're right. Most people at that age will see collecting, just about anything, not just toys is looked at as weird. I'm not sure why but normies think at college age your hobbies should be partying and "living the best years of your life" or whatever the fuck that means. I'm not by any means saying you should give up collecting altogether but definitely it isn't something that will do you any favors in college. When you get a bit older and enter some kind of job force it will be more accepted. I work in IT and while not everyone is as into collecting toys as people on /toy/ are, you do see more figures on people's desks than you think. I mean one dude had a Black Series First Order TIE Fighter in his cubicle so it isn't seen as that odd of a thing when you're older.

Having 1 momento on your desk is different to having multiple shelves of children's toys. You can be the nerdy guy who likes building tanks and just be "oh it's that guy, he does cool models". You can't be the "oh it's that guy who collects power rangers toys". It's supposed to be the age you move into adulthood and take on more responsibility not hide within your childishness. It's why collectors refine themselves into 1 area and stop shotgun blasting everything collecting wise.

You can have 1 or 2 cool toys. Like a high quality mega zord and be alright. But if you're above that you're going to get weird looks. Only exception is like a team of TMNT where all 4 go together.
