Good: The live-action movie getting me a near-complete Fortress Maximus. How? Listen to the 4th episode of the podcast!

Bad: Found out my aunt is going to think I'm a child forever for collecting.

Good: Favorite voice actor playing with my custom toy (see YouTube links in signature)

Bad: Watching my bedroom slowly give away more and more room to colorful plastic

Good: YouTube popularity with video reviews of bad toys (Signature. Cheap plugs!)

Bad: ...having to actually pay attention to said toys to GAIN YouTube popularity.


TJ Omega: The Plastic Addict - Working to change your mind about video reviews! Bad toys, 30 second reviews, and whatever else I think up.

Collection Count: As many as my tiny check will allow - which is not much.
News Credits: 1
Bad: my G1 Thundercracker, Predaking, Onslaught, and Hot Spot mysteriously disappearing somewhere between the time I packed them at my grandparents' house and years later when I finally took my TFs out of storage at my parents' house.

Good: One of my comics being quoted by someone else.

Bad: Being mob attacked on another forum for choosing not to go to the 2007 movie.

Good: Receiving MP Starscream in the mail, as a total surprise from some of the members here! Not to mention the personal help I also got from members on here, along with the occasional nice lil TF thing that cheered me up.

Good: Collecting TF's focused my collecting habits to just one line.

Bad: As mentioned by others, the money. I could have had a down payment on a house and then some. Alas this is the price of happiness.

Thanx
