It makes it seem like you do all that because you want bragging rights, not because you do all that because of the kindness of your heart and enjoy the hobby.

So please, tone it down. It's not funny, and it's not showing yourself in the kind of light that you've given off in the past. It's coming across a bit egotistical. By all means, enjoy your hard earned money, enjoy your collection, enjoy helping other collectors out, but please don't turn those acts of enjoyment into a means of saying how much better you are than everyone else. It's beneath you.

People should be free to enjoy their collections and hobbies how they like. Let's not make this a 'size matters' metaphor on egos and belittlement. Don't throw away all the good will you've generated by trying to instill monarch notions of above everyone else. Enjoy what you have, don't trivialize others.

Besides, there's only one king, and that king is Elvis, and his furry reincarnation. Hail to the pup pup!
And the only other king I recognize and bow to is Arturia.

Sure, anything you say boss. In all seriousness amigo...if this bothers you so much, please, fell free to block me at any time and avoid those headaches!

BTW, there are other people on the forum who are way more annoying than a guy joking about his huge collection, like the ones constantly bitching about something, rampant negativity, & bringing subjects that shouldn't be tolerated here, such as (non-exhaustive list) : racism, sexism, politic,...

We're all here to discuss & enjoy our hobby, & that's exactly what Raf is doing, in his own exessive but "armless" way. You may not appreciate it, it's your right, then just ignore it.

Thanks my friend! That's my point...they allow all that other stuff go by and yet they go after a meaningless jokester like me. Now I wonder, maybe I am the real King since they give me this much importance! Lol

Anyhoo, I've been inactive here for months, but finally got some "new" stuff by trading. The new TMNT movie hit me with that Turtle Fever all over again, so I picked up some of the original toys:
"hard head" Donatello, w/ staff
"hard head" Leonardo
"Hard head" Michelangelo
"soft head" Rocksteady, complete
"hard head" bebop, complete
Casey Jones, complete
foot soldier w/ staff
Slash, complete w/ purple belt
Leatherhead, complete
Rat King, complete
turtle blimp, complete
party wagon, w/ passenger mirror and roof
re-release Raphael, moc
re-release Krang, moc

Unfortunately, I already have these guys set up and displayed in a corner that is particularly devoid of light. It's a work in progress. No picks at the moment.

Oh, and I had some trade credit left but cleaned the store out of Turtle toys, so I also grabbed a Figuarts Super Saiyan Awakening Goku. I figure I'll leave this one in the box, I had to sell off all of my other DBZ stuff, so he's the odd man out in my collection anyway.

Poison...my man! Hope all is well. Yes, I do ignore them bro. I'm just waking up in my mancave! They however won't ignore me and I don't understand why!

One more time to all...if you don't like you King then leave his kingdom and BLOCK ME! But I know they won't...cause they know I'm going to show them toys that they've never seen in their lives!
