A video log of just a PART of my older brother Voiceroy's Transformers collection... VERY impressive.

My wife has an autistic brother who also hoards Transformers. Not near that caliber, but a big one......in fact bigger than mine. He usually gets 2 of each, one in box and one for playing with....

Think he'd sell me some of his duplicate Alternators? I'm in need of some of those figures.

Anyways, I'm not sure what to think of that collection. Everything is kinda scattered and it seems to me that there isn't a whole lot of care put into storing the loose figures.

Amazing collection though. I don't understand the need for multiples though.

You said in the video that he gets his figures on the cheap. How does he do it? I must know more about his secrets.

Well could be worse I suppose. He could have the whole freakin' house looking like that wall to wall stuff loose and boxes and boxes all over the place where you can just barley move around. Then contact A&E and find out if they have a shot. :P

I wasn't allowed to film in the rest of the house, if THAT tells you anything.

Man... Looks like the thrift store from Heaven!
Have to agree that 'storing' Transformers like that doesn't show a whole lot of love or care for the subject material. He might as well be collecting rocks if that's the way he just dumps them in boxes.

I know, right? His collection feels more like a storeroom or old collection tucked away in an attic than a REAL collection. Like I said, it's a HOARD, not really a "collection." He should at least display them and get them separated to where they don't get further damage! He told me he was in the middle of "taking inventory." Feels more like a stock boy than a real Transformers collector! Lol!

Hmmm...I wonder if having a 15' x 10' storage unit full of Transformers count as hoarding. If so, I think I have a problem...

So is it like that all over the house?

If so, I hope he doesn't have any Botcon stuff having the fate of being scattered like that.

Anyone who buys four of the same toy and keeps them in the box has an unhealthy obsession in my opinion. Unless he's planning on customising or selling them in the future. I can't imagine US MP Skywarp being worth much in the future though.
