    27 (Dear God, I am too old to be making comic strips about Ratchet having sex with Princess Celestia) and I almost exclusively buy from stores.

    44 yrs young and still buying Tfs. But the stuff that's out now does not impress me too much (with the exception of a few prime toys, FOC figs and some 3rd party stuff) I am and always will be a Gee one fan.

    I'd buy a lot more first hand if I could get them. Difficulty getting is what drove me online in the first place.

    I answered "No, I only collect from dead lines, japanese, second hand". It's not perfectly accurate, I do buy from stores occasionally when there's a hard to find figure or a great price reduction which makes it worthwhile. Most of the time I'll buy second hand as a mean to save money.

    EDIT: Btw I'm 30.

    I'm 34 and voted yes. I have been buying retail for a while, but am actually considering stopping. The higher prices, lower quality, and lack of releasing Breakdown have really dampened my desire to collect Prime stuff.

    I actually buy from retail and online. Recently I've been more into older lines.

    Grown man, married, with a 3 year old and I still by Transformers and video games. Don't really care what anyone thinks. And the wife doesn't mind as long as I don't go overboard.
