I stopped using my Legos a few years ago, and the only reason I'm saving them is for my kids (when/if I ever have any). They were my primary creative outlet, but writing and toy customizing have taken over. Since my Legos are in nearly pristine condition, and I want my kids to have something really stimulating to play with, I'm saving them.
The majority of my toy collection are customs, which I like to believe I would never sell. My collection is small enough to put away in a box that is 2'x2'x2', so I would be able to hide them, or keep them out of the way - except for my Transformers, which I would give to my kids if they asked.
At any rate, I've been trying to sell about a third of my toy collection for several months, but there hasn't been one single taker. So, at the moment, I'm stuck with the items I don't even want anymore.

But to get a little more to the topic at hand. If my significant other insisted that I get rid of my collection, I would try to discuss with her that almost every single item has sentimental value to me, which is true. Most of my customs represent characters from my writing, about 2/3 of the remainder are heroes and characters I really love, the rest are villains to balance out my heroes, or just neat toys.
If she gave me an ultimatum, I can guarantee there were other bigger problems before she brought up my collection.
