Hey All,

Doing a quick survey...how many hours per week do you think you spend "collecting" including:

Online Research & News Review
Toy Hunting Around Town
Buying/Selling Items Online
Physically Managing/Arranging Your Collection

I figure I spend about 10hrs/wk...how about the rest of you?

30 mins ... an hour if you factor in the walk from my place to K-Mart.

I never really thought of this.

-I don't spend much time running around buying stuff. I look when I am at various stores, but they aren't usually stand-alone trips. So, maybe 30 minutes per week.
-I spend about 1 hour per day on Seibertron.com and BBTS. So, 7 hrs.
- I probably do about 15 minutes per day playing with the toys. So about an hour and a half per week.

I guess about 10 hours.

Well, I usually spend a few hours a day in front of my computer screen (yes, the machine is turned on :P ) and even when I am looking at other stuff or checking mail, this site is up in a separate window. So I am not sure if that counts. I work at WalMart so I usually check their toy section, I rarely ever go to other stores, I mainly buy online, but haven't done so in a while. I usually like to look up info about new and old TFs, comics, and sometimes I browse eBay just for shits and giggles, in the event I stumble onto something I'd like. So it's very irregular with me. To make it a nice and even figure, I'd say 28 hrs, 4 hrs a day.

Since I conjure up news potions.. study the forums.. and since my Uni term is over, I'd give it an unhealthy 35 hours. Then again, probably 4/5 of that time is also multitasking, just being on the web itself and chatting with friends, or playing Xbox or studying or doing something extra.
