    collecting more gundam, braves, and other giant robots. No difference in my life. Just switching to another collection.

    Getting laid 24/7*, on top of a giant pile of money.

    I wanna say I'd be collecting G.I.Joe, but in all honesty I never had the same passion for Joes that I do for TFs. Sure I think the toons & toys are great, I even enjoyed that stupid live action Joe movie more than ROTF <gasp!>, but in the end Joes were always a distant second to TFs.
    To answer: I dunno, maybe spending a lot more time/$ with basketball? I use to play a lot, plus I (still) collect sneakers. Maybe running? I would've ran more than just that one marathon 2 years ago and the various 10Ks.

    *instead I'm settling for 23:59/7 :p

    I find it kind of funny to keep seeing "richer" as a response. I know I wouldn't be a damn bit richer. I'd just be spending my money on other things instead of on Henkei and United figures.

    So I probably would have a new tv and pc. Probably would have gotten my car fixed. I'd probably have more clothes. And I'd have taken a few vacations with my girlfriend (going to Hawaii next month is our first in the 3 1/2 years we've been together).

    I'd be just as broke as I am now. I would just have less toys.

    I love TFW2005. To be honest, this website has made my interest for Transformers alot higher than it used to be. Being able to discuss transformers all the time makes me LOVE it even more. Thanks TFW2005!!!

    Back when I started, I noticed pretty quickly that I had really cut back on buying computer games. In the end if I'd never picked up TF collecting, I'd probably have become more of a techno-phile with the latest in computer, TV and whatnot.

    I probably would be buying more Gundam, Power Rangers, and other anime related products instead. I would also buy more Marvel and DC action figures.

    My childhood would have sucked without Beast Wars. It made elementary school fun.

    Probbaly no where. Transformers are the only piece of my childhood I want to keep active. It was my favorite all time cartoon.

    Whats the name of your yugioh forum. I used to duel people all the time with my insect deck and I'm still somewhat interested in it.

    I had NASCAR before I had Transformers, and I still enjoy it just as fervently (which made me pumped for the Wreckers in DOTM, by the way). So I wouldn't really be any different.

    I'd be in a mansion swimming in money and ho's like Scrooge McDuck on viagra and coke.
    But seriously, I'd just spend the money on video games and whatever else. I'd be right where I am now, just not in a TF forum.

    I don't think I'd be nearly as happy. Seriously. Transformers is my outlet to life on many occasions and without it I'd definitely be out at the bars a lot more, not doing so well with school/work, etc. In a way I'd go as far as saying this hobby keeps me grounded and humble. I can't wait till my little girl and hopefully future children are old enough to understand this hobby I love.
