I would rather do an interview here, that would be bigger to me then to go on CNN..
at least here on a Transformers Site, I can receive valued compliments from my peers and friends.. and not seem out of place, but to go on a network TV news show, with some of the worst reporters and snobbish superficial people in the U.S. well that is a type of punishment, I'd rather not put myself through..
if you think I'm crazy, did you not see how they portrayed trekkies?? Or how they portrayed Star wars Fans?
I hate to be a party pooper, but someone has to say something..

And CP on CNN? To paraphrase from Ghostbusters:
"Go get 'em, Ray!"

thanks man.. I am taking a big risk by coming out an making a statement like that... and to those who think this is a cool thing, go for it.. just not me man..
I propose we get our own collection interviews going again, Counterpunch's interviews are the best ever.. and he is the best interviewer her on seibertron.. if he asks you to do one, then you have just been selected to be a celebrity to thousands of fellow fans..who will not laugh at you, but marvel at your collection..

I'm all for interviews over collections. Once you get close to a thousand, you have some pretty interesting facts to share about your collecting habits and what you like in the franchise.

I don't know if I would do an interview.I'm some where over 1300 figures now and an interview is just another way to make fun of fans.I have seen interviews like this and they all laugh at you in the studio.When the first movie came out news sites did stuff like this.Not for me.

OMG!! I was just watching Ghostbusters on AMC! the funny thing was that all I could think was, man I'd love to see a transformer crossover of ECTO-1! with a transformer weapon that resembles the ghost busters laser pack..

I forgot a few words. I meant an interview for this site. I'd prefer interviews from the seibertron news crew. If you're your going to do an interview about a collection, do it where it won't be ridiculed.

Holy hell.. Yeah No thanks ( funny as hell though)
I won't post anything on cnn, no way in hell, they just suck .. I would do a interview from seibertron any day

In all honesty though, does anyone really care about being ridiculed for doing what you love to do? I mean as long as your collecting in moderation and not hurting anyone to do so what would it matter? I get joked on by some of my freinds sometimes but when they get up close to my collection you can see the kid come out in them and they start transforming them and making little lazer sounds. I've been collecting for awhile now and I've found the people who make fun of collectors are the ones with the most problems.

Still not interested in doing it..
as for whether it matter what people think of you or not, and your hobby?
it shouldn't matter.. in a perfect "Walgreens" world..
but we live in the real one, and it does matter..people get their feelings hurt, and other people DO judge.. and many are Hippocrates..
sorry it i just the way reality is..
that turtles youtube video is sad..not funny, but sad.. because they found a crazed collector to video, and not all of us are like that..
CNN... nope..not me..

If enough of us Seibertronians did it , I would too, just to plug the website

I have no doubt that in this world today that there are poeple who go out of there way to poke fun at people who go overboard with collecting. That youtube video is a great example. You know the production guys were havin a hoot over that one. What I meant was funny about it was how extremem she did take her collection, Buying the actual movie prop heads? That's waaaay more extreme than I would be willing to go, Luckily the Transformers are all cg now, then again the BB mockup is only $250,000

I guess I've had the luck of never running into any of those hippocrites who want to tear collectors down. I've always been a big guy so not to many people would make a joke about my collection anyway . I totally understand what your sayin though Skywarp and I agree with ya

I'd just rather not deal with CNN's crap. I personally dislike their news network and the way they run things.
The collector interviews on Seibertron should come back. I think the last one to get interviewed was Sledge, but I could be wrong.
