I agreed and was featured with 7 other 'Identities' with 'Obsessions.

Toy Collector My Toys aren't for kids. They range from half an inch to a three-foot long Star Wars spaceship. I get a lot through the Internet - I check on eBay most days. My favourite piece is probably the Batmobile. I would love the Yak Face figure to complete my Star Wars collection, but at more than NZ$300, there's a lot of other things I could buy. New Zealand doesn't tend to get the bigger, more expensive things. A lot of the time, we don't get the playsets, which are great for displaying toys. I'm always looking for good new display pieces. Even if their electronics don't work any more, that's only one aspect of the toy. I don't play with them as such, but I like moving the joints and making them work. I am in the process of setting up a toy room - my parents kept bugging me about wantiing their front room back. One day. I would love to start a toy museum of my own. |
