Here are some tips on building an excellent collection :

#1 Tell people that that the toy section of the store is on the opposite side from where it really is.

#2 If a child has an action figure you want; distract him by saying,"Look there's Santa Clause": and gently remove the action figure from his hands and run to the checkout lane.

#3 Paint your figures neon puple, yellow, orange and silver like Hasbro does. That way no one will want your collection and it will grow over time.

#4 If someone is blocking you from reaching the aisle of action figures you want; put your mouth into your arm and make a farting sound.They're bound to get out of the way by then.

#5 Realize if you missed out on Snake Eyes version 10; it's okay. So you can stop tying that noose you were going to hang yourself with,

#6 If you don't have the money to buy the action figure you want; hide it behind Joel Shumacher's Batman toys. Nobody is going to buy that crap.

#7If you see a beutiful woman while buying action figures; tell her you are buying them for troubled youth. Your bound to get her phone number by then.

# 8 If you see an action figure that looks like Tom Cruise; realize that the Scientology cult has taken over Hasbro.

That is all.

10...Food is over rated. It's only with you for a couple hours, your collection will be with you potentially for a life time...

How many of us have ever brought a sandwich to work and spent the fast food money we would have spent to buy "just one more Joe?"

This is a hilarious thread...

But school enables you to get a better paying job to buy more for your collection. 1.5 million more over a life time for just a bachelor's degree. :p

11 A figure with no o rings is a better value than condoms that are marked 50 percent off. Belch
