[QUOTE="SublevelStudios, post: 494876, member: 5051"] To a degree yes. It also makes me feel uncomfortable sometimes if I'm totally honest. I look at a piece in my collection and think 'that's £1000 worth of plastic just sitting there' - and then I think of all the toys/clothes/holidays that could buy for my kids - who I have to say never, ever go without anyway. I may not have paid £1000 for it but I know I can get that if I were to sell it. I collect because I have a genuine love of Star Wars and collecting - it goes back right to the start for me. It's a massive influenece in my life. I can never see myself spending more than £2k for an item as there's nothing I really want that is that expensive. My main issue is having tens of thousands of pounds worth of stuff in cabinets that I could maybe spend on other things. But I think if I didn't collect, I'd be a miserable, pissed off bastard.
