This has been my Dream: Why must us collector's live in this world so alone?
Imagine a collector's community in the real world instead of talking through typed words. We could all get together during the weekends and instead of the usual boring talk about Football...we could gather and talk about our passion and even bring some of our sculpts and figures to these get togethers to show all. It feels as if I am the only collector in existence where I live. Where I am from (being that I hate drinking and never cared for football)...if I tell anyone here I could care less about the New Orleans Saints a fight will break out. Everyone here thinks I am a gay guy as soon as I mention my hobby as a high end Sculpture and Figure collector. My own family does not even understand my passion for collecting and think I have a serious problem and in their minds I am just some over grown kid that cannot grow up or something. My Brother came and visited me last Christmas and after showing him my updated collection he called me a pansy, weirdo, grown up kid...horrible things then he and his Wife tell me I should see a Psychiatrist as if collecting these amazing Sculpts and the amount of passion I show for them is actually a mental disease I have.
That is their problem but still it would be nice to meet up with collector's like myself at least once every other weekend that would be a dream come true to me...
I just never understood the whole bar room scene...I'd rather just have people come over to the house and do some LAN parties and play some old school Halo with each other...now that's Healthy fun.
I will never stop being a collector...ever.
If something is wrong with that well...I do not want to be right!!
