    You're only too old when you decide you're too old.

    Remind her about that next time she plays with her hair. XD

    For those people shaming you about your models and collecting Transformers, just ask them one question:

    "Is it YOUR money?If not...THEN SHUT THE BLAZES UP!!!"

    Seriously, I'm 47 and I still play with mine. And I probably always will...because it is a world transformed, where things are not what they seem. It is the world... of the grown adults who play with Transformers! :D 

    And for those who disapprove of us doing so, I would like to point out to them that when they finally fix the utter train wrecks that their lives became, then we'll consider listening....

    I personally don't play with them but I enjoy looking at my tiny collection. it brings me some type of happiness, my point is do what makes you happy, I'm sure those who criticize have/do something that makes them happy. if they don't, stay away from their sour a$$ lol!!

    Kids that age are like that. But really you're only an adult when you accept others doing what they like and you don't care about what other people think of you and you can do what you want.

    My dad, 43, opened up a large Voltron toy a while back (then proceeds to put it back in as I internally scream to the bloody heavens), I have a friend who's father also collects a fair bit of toys. Not sure whether or not he actually plays with it. In the end as long as you don't grow up to become a cubicle stuck husk who's forgotten all form of joy and happiness, you can keep playing with plastic figures till you die

    Years ago, I saw someone post their experience when a smart aleck cashier with a chip on her shoulder at Target asked, "Aren't you too old to be playing with toys?" Their response was, "Aren't you too old to be working at Target?" :lol  That still makes me chuckle.

    You're never too old to do what you enjoy. I'm 49 and don't care what people think. Anytime someone gets uppity with me, I respond with, "Yeah, I should have more adult hobbies and activities like drinking, gambling, strip clubs and smoking." Shuts them right up. At the end of the day, I could sell my collection to "light my darkest hour," and get a good return, but you can't sell the weed you smoked up, the alcohol you pissed out or the lotion smell and STD's that the strippers smeared onto your face.

    My sisters boy toy mocked my collection and how much I spent on it. I took out my calculator, asked him when he started smoking, how much he smokes a day and preceeded to show him how he has spent 4x the amount of money I have. Shut him right up.
    Don't mistake this as me being against smokers. You do you, and give me the same respect.

    I love the responses most people give here! :lol 

    It should be no surprise that people here still love to play with TF, no matter what their age. My workplace is like that. We are all nerds there, and surprise, surprise! Quite a few are TF nuts. My supervisor is one such person, and they are older than I am! :lol

    Think about it: why would they give em joints if you're not supposed to play with em? Who doesn't want to see giant robots knock the bits out of each other? It's a universal feeling, defying age, gender, etc.

    I'm 48 and I play with my toys. As a matter of fact, He- Man just got his ass whooped by Devastator 20 minutes ago.

    Do what brings you joy.

    If you have to ask, then yes. But once you're old enough to realize that no one should judge for doing so, then you don't ask the question.

    Exactly; I think a lot of it comes from folks desiring a place to judge others. But as soon as they find that the "judge" can quickly become the "defendant", they just as soon want to move on from doing so...

    And the Target comeback was a good one. :D  Grinning ear to ear (worked for them 20 years ago).

    Naw, gotcha right out of the gate; you're using it as an example (not that I smoke either). People who live in glass houses shouldn't even be looking at stones to toss.

    I recently got a combiner wars devastator and I can’t stop playing with the constructicons. I love loading energon cubes and enacting my favorite scenes.
