[QUOTE="subzero, post: 455676, member: 9185"] Apart from them being passed down, don't forget the other factor involved of an old collector all of a sudden having quickly growing up grandchildren who they'd want to support, and end up selling all their collectables for their grandkids futures. Me personally I collect almost purely for the nostalgia, I don't collect anything I didn't have as a kid with the exception of Star Wars figures which I do collect some of what I didn't have, just because I want more badass figures to compliment the rest of my collection. When will I sell up?.. I have no plan to ever sell them ever, or pass them down because I know if I did that then they wouldn't be appreciated by whoever receives them and know they will sell them off anyway. I'm the only one who will ever appreciate my toys they won't mean anything to anyone else, so I might as well enjoy looking at them for the rest of my life and sell them myself before i'm about to croak or I go blind :lol: Weird thing is iv'e been nostalgic and fascinated about my past since as long as I can remember, I was nostalgic since about 7 or 8 years old thinking about toys I had when I was 4 or 5 ( like that was a long time ago lol ), and searching for toys out the cupboard at age 11 or 12 and reminiscing ( weird ). I first got into actually buying toys from my childhood though at around 21+ [/QUOTE]
