Im 22 and open 90% of them, customize 5% of the opened ones, and keep 5% in its box. For me, Marvel Universe collecting has to be done online now. My Walmart told me they won't be holding them anymore, and I cant aford to travel 120km [74 or so Miles] to go action figure hunting and return empty handed 85% of the time. Sadly though, finding the figures in the wild is what makes it so fun!

I collect for a number of reasons. One is that it gives me something to do, something different, something that not many people in my small town do or even care about. Another reason is my childhood. Not because of TV shows, or comics [although they are the main reason I collect MU over Gi Joe, DC, ect] would be because my Grandfather. As I kid I would have my Gi Joe figures and I would bring them to his house all the time to amuse myself while my parents are working for the day. He would play with the figures with me, and put them in "Dirty Sex" positions and get a chuckle out of that. So for that reason alone is why I even collect, to stay in touch with the kid within me, which obviously is in all of us if we collect any sort of toy.

Did this answer any questions? Maybe a few, not all, but that is why I collect :P
