Here comes my mom trying to throw away my action figures "you've grown up now", is it so hard to understand it's for collectionism and not to do imaginary battles playing with them on the floor?
My dad has hundreds of motorbike models, maybe I should tell him to throw em away too. Jeez.
I get this quite often as well.
"why don't you give them away or sell them? so much money invested in these things.... you can't take them with you when you die."
:I
"more reason to enjoy them now! why would I want to get rid of them? I dont have the money to spend on them anymore, so might as well enjoy what I have?"
