Man in China Has Spent $32,000 Collecting Transformers

I did not read the entire article... I stopped at the second picture and wonder... why can't she be my wife?      

 

$32,000 ?! 

 

Time to top him.  

 

I bet numerous members here are laughing how little that is compared to the amount they've spent.

 

^ was just thinking that

Doesnt seem surprising to me. Buy 320 figs at 100+ and bam 32,000.

 

Wow

 

Aweosme

 

Ah that's the norm nowadays. Also from the looks of it he's also collecting 3P stuff, so when u add it all up the amount wouldn't be that surprising.

No big deal.

 

Only 32K means he's probably not much of a vintage collector

 

32,000 since 2002 would be around 2666 a year, 51 a week or one deluxe-scout sized figure a day. Something about those numbers seems tame to me compared to prominent "video reviewers" and just about everyone in South-east Asia that gets figures early to add to their giant collections.

 

Laughing.... or crying?

 

Not impressed. I know lots of collectors whose collections are worth much more than $32K.

 

I'm sure I've matched that.

Some 3rd Party, every main line, bits of the small lines, related non-toy products, KOs, imports, extra weapons, DVDs, comics....

 

Just try to have a complete run of the regular MIB G1 pre-rubs, pretty soon you'll be spending around $50K and your collection won't still be complete.

 

I think I spent about £5,000 just in 2013.

 

I'm pretty sure I can name like 5 people off the top of my head who have laid down more.

 

Whomever bought that G2 Menasor on ebay is almost certainly far beyond this.

 

Seriously. $27,000 handed over in ONE transaction.

 

That's what I was thinking! Just scanning those pics, I couldn't see any G1 stuff at all. Then I look at my humble collection & I don't even wanna contemplate trying to add up how much this set me back, & that set me back, & this, & that...  

 

you could live in canida it's dead it's peace.
