    Stick around for a while and you'll find out that the majority of TF fans 'break the mold'.

    Yeah not all of us are sweaty nerds with two-inch-thick glasses. With, of course, apologies to those of you who are.

    Some of us even have attractive wives.

    Still haven't been able to get my wife to progress past the Bay movie, though, but she likes that well enough and tolerates my collecting, as well as buying one or two for me here and there.

    My wife has successfully avoided Transformers in all our time of dating and our 10 years of marriage, so keep us updated and good luck.

    The movie was out for a month before she saw it...

    Have to agree that "tolerance" is a fair goal to hope for. Anything beyond that is a bonus.

    Both my ex and current GF tolerate my collecting (to the point that both have come with me to Botcon pretty much solely to help me run my booth) - This is a damn good thing considering my entire basement & one upstairs bedroom are filled with toys.

    One thing to think about: One of my single friends with a huge collection says that he'd never want to be with someone interested in his toys... Because she'd try to claim a share of them in a divorce! lol
