That dude is insane. What a collection. Crazy. When he sells it, he'll be on a high because he just pocketed $29k... but then a month after he'll wake up in the middle of the night in a deep depression. You can't collect to that extreme and not be deeply emotionally attached to it. Just my opinion.

Then again, collecting to this extreme, where you have like 30 figures the same and they're not army builders - I dunno. Can't relate.

Imagine the time needed to stand up that many figs without stands? Wowzers!

Whoa, that is crazy! I wouldn't sell my Joes for anything. Life is about being happy, not money.

Right on, Outrider. I subscribe to the same philosophy. You gotta do what you love, and that helps keep you sane in this world. As for that collection, it is pretty ridiculous that he has that many of each of those figures and that most of them are not army builders. Do you really need that many of characters that are set characters?

if you read his description he actually collected them for the intention of selling...
*sigh*
Give me all his eels! hmmm I should ask if he doesn't get to sell it if he would consider selling them off one by one or in small groups.

This guy doesn't even need to sell everything he's got, he's got so many of the same figures in there. I counted like 20 Sneak Peaks! That's insane! I wouldn't be surprised if he just kept one of each guy and was selling the rest.

I think this guy had some malfunctions. Why on earth would you collect the same CHARACTER more than, I dunno, 2 or 3x. I can understand having back-ups but maybe this guy collected so he could sell them for mad cash? I can't help but think that he'd do better selling them in lots where it's 1 character per lot. He must need the money for the EvoX.
