I think thats the attitude you gotta have. Even when i was a partying teenager, i bought my friends to my house and i'd have shelves and shelves of G1 stuff sittin around and its a hobby that i don't think will ever be "uncool".
That's right. Do what you enjoy. Your family may not agree with it, but who cares. You don't need their approval to assert your individuality. Followers usually have problems with people who aren't followers. You're not a follower. Neither am I. I don't think anyone here is. I thank God for a place I can go to talk about my hobby with people who enjoy it as well. You are not alone. All of us here collect Transformers for a reason. It's our thing, and thanks to the three movies, it's a hobby that has gained new followers.
