Tips on collecting
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.

Some people, when trying to avoid thinking about those things that cause them pain, turn to drink, or perhaps food, or drugs... I turn not to any of those... I collect action figures, turning my mind to the hunt, so that I might find a mote of peace... Over the years, I've found that alcoholism is much more socially acceptable by far.

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.
