when will you say to yourself that's it no more transformers for me!

Feel free to discuss anything about any of the thousands of Transformer toys here. Anything from Generation 1 all the way to the soon to be released, the never to be released or the hope to be released is fair game! Want to show off your stuff? Please post your's and see others in the Transformers Collections Forum.

after reaching a certain age in life, would you say that will be it after age 60, i will not collect transformers anymore and start saving money for retirement. because it would be pathetic to have all the toys you collected in years surround your coffin at the funeral instead of real people.

I don't belive there will be any magical age number for most people. More than likely just a shift in life. Goals and that may change and they may eventually lose interest, but I doubt many people will go, "well I'm XX years old now, time to quite my beloved hobby" and stop cold turkey. Many will probably never stop,unless arthritis or bad vision makes it impossible for them to enjoy their collectibles.

I've always held, regarding video games, that I'll continue to play them as long as I'm physically able. Same thing would apply to Transformers for most people.

Personally, I'm not an exclusive Transformer's person. I collect them now cause I really liked the Classics line, which brought me into the movie figures. I collect whatever I think is cool at the time (before it was the Masters of the Universe figures until that line died, Marvel Legends until they started to suck, and random other toys), so I don't think I'll ever stop collecting things. Obviously, once I have children and start a family I'll have to prioritize my money, but I'll never stop.

Never.

I'm gonna keep on buying till I croak.

Then, I'll either give them to kids to care for or, if I can't trust em, either donate my collection to a toy mueseum or put em in a Geneva bank for a couple 100 years or so.


I'm clutching at straws here.

Ditto. My collecting goes in phases but for pretty much my entire life I've collected two things consistently; Transformers and Comic books. As long as both entertain me and continue to put out quality products, I'll keep buying them.

difficult for even Prime, but what if EVERY single TF toy you have, hold you down, while Armada Unicron and Cybertron Primus go gangbang on your arse... that would prolly end any TF-fan's day :P

You seem kind of hung up on this.

Would you prefer to be addressed as 'Old Man'?

I was collecting cds back then (I mean, rare cds) and I stopped when I started collecting TFs. Who knows what I'll be collecting 10 years from now... although I don't see myself getting rid of my collection.
