*in retrospect, this post is was longer that it had to be*
when i was a child, TF's turtles and spiderman toys ruled my life. teenager, i began collecting comics. early adulthood i began seriously collecting TF's, which early 20's shifted to seriously collecting comics. (im now 30)
up until about a year ago when i started losing interest in my comics. i collected everything marvel and dabbling here and there in other publishers. and when i say everything, i mean everything. all marvel titles, all variants. its a horrendously expensive hobby.
i never "quit" collecting TF's. i always bought things here and there, but nothing serious. comics werent scratching the itch i guess, and hastak and 3P's started doing amazing things. so i started gravitating back to TF's. now im back in pretty heavy.
as of today, Tf's rule my life. i collect only a select amount of marvel titles. although i guess its a part of my comics, but i have a huge collection of hardcover trades. and i have quite an extensive movie collection, i love physical formats and will buy them as long as they still exist (and for highly collectible movie things, check out steelbooks). and i have a few statues.
by the numbers (roughly)... 9700 comics, 2000 dvd/blurays, 1000 TF's, 500 HC's, and a dozen statues. which is all pretty terrifying now that i think about it.
