How old is too old for collecting toys????

There is more to Transformers than movies, cartoons, comics and toys. Discuss anything else Transformers here.

Yeah, TFs have a decent female following. I'm a total Autobot fiend. :) None of my female friends get into it like I do, unfortunately.

If your spouse gets stuff you've pre-ordered delivered a year after you've passed, it's maybe a little too much. Otherwise, fair game, whatever the age!
assembling a Neo-G1/TF:TM cast. Please PM if you have (or know of) the following at a reasonable price: Classics or Henkei Astrotrain, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, or 3rd Party iGear Ratchet and Ironhide.
Also looking for Universe Repugnus and Overbite, Frostbite and Longhorn and any Webdiver toys.

I don't think there is any age limit on fun or having a hobby. If you love the Transformers don't allow anything to get in your way! If that is what makes you happy in life, then so be it! There is nothing wrong with being a 'Kid at Heart'! :)

When we lose that "kid at heart", we're one step closer to oblivion. I'm glad I found an online community that shares the same hobby that I do. It's great to have someone to talk to about this besides my kid. :-)

My mom's new boyfriend thinks its cool that I'm into collecting TFs. My collection isn't that big but when he sees it, he's always blown away. He told me I'm in touch with the kid in me and not letting myself get all serious with adult life. He says he likes that about me, lol.

You are never too old, what you should worry about, is whether it becomes an obsession, for example, there is no way on earth, heaven or hell that makes me buy the twins, should you think you HAVE to buy them, well, you should feel worried....

I think it's ok to like or want certain figures that are economically priced, but when you start buying figures that are outrageously priced, it's time to reign yourself in.

Do your own thing and do not worry about what society or other people say about your hobbies.

Are any of you Transformer collectors married? If so, do you allow your wife (or anyone else) into your "Transformer room"?

sentinelprime1234, I just celebrated my 57th birthday this past weekend and two of my gifts were these honking big electronic Transformer toys of Sentinel Prime and (FINALLY!) Optimus Prime. And yes, I'm not a bit ashamed to admit that I love looking at them and playing with them or likewise enjoying any of my other favourite toys which I keep handy and out on display for visitors to look at (gasp!) in my livingroom/kitchen. Seriously, what difference does it make what you keep on your shelves or sitting on your dresser or table or what-have-you? If it brings you pleasure and recalls good memories and doesn't infringe on someone else's quality of life, collect whatever you want! Eventually, you'll get old enough that uptight people who lack a sense of fun will assume that you must be in your second childhood anyway, so there's always THAT excuse to look forward to if you're still worried about what 'others' think.

As for my latest toys, they've found a home on top of my nice Colonial-styled hardwood entertainment cabinet where they can glower at each other and share space with a Japanese crane lamp, a Jim Shore Jiminy Cricket figurine, and a Battling Bug. That should be eclectic enough of a grouping to keep folks guessing, heh heh...

My house is my collection room... Stuff everywhere (not just TF's either)..
My wife and girls enjoy the collections as it gives them something to talk about.
Not a sheeple.
Think for yourself, don't let the magic TV box and social media do the thinking for you.
Question EVERYTHING!!
Just because you have a youtube review channel doesn't make you special.
No, I am not friendly online or in real life.
I look forward to attending a Botcon only to settle matters with idiots in person.

I´d say, refering to shoes and ladies, it´s more like hoarding than collecting....

I feel that you can do whatever you want with your money. After all, we work hard to make a living to enjoy life. Also, Transformers is a great for the mind too. It is kind of like a version of the Rubik's cube. Great to practice on how to change it back and forward after you have obtain sooo many of them.
