As far as I can see...

We loyal Bat-Brothers collect the
same thing...

From Aliens to Federation Starships,
we all have the same love for our
hobby...

I really regret for clearing out alot
of what I started with, when I was
younger; but boy I still have the
pictures too show it...

FlaBat... Great collection!!!

Dusting just drive you nuts???

I just want to just grab the garden
hose sometimes...

Now the real answer...

or 29 years...

My wife and pups think I'm nuts...

So here I got your answer...29 year!!!! wow! I wish I would had an open mind since my boyhood!

I'm 31 old, my life had been Star Wars, but I have been rised with Batman Tv shows in the 80's...

My first Toys was some Justice League Batman,Superman & Wonder Woman when I was 4 old (yes I remember stuff from that age lol), the toys were like a typo of ruber, can't remember clear, then Clash of the Titans at 4 old, then Star Wars since that ahead 7 other 80's figures. I can say it was an amazing collection. but when I was in my nearly 8 old our house burned.

Many Toys scaped the fire, but when we had a new life at my 10 old, I was a loner boy, so for exchange of friendship I give up all my toys to another because he started to be my friend, but he never come back to visit me after that lol!... I could never recover from that loss of Star Wars. Then Thunder Cats & others including some Batman or Justice League collection, Voltron etc. much more collection till my early 20's.

Since I was 16, I have started to dreaming to have kids, so I collected more. But when I move to USA alone at my 20, I left my collection in the hands of my mother, but my mother divorce my stepfather, she move with me, & the basterd took my collection till now or sold it etc.


So in winter 2007 I bought my first house after 5 yrs of marriage, got two beautiful kids 2 & 4 old... Then a friend of mine show me his private collection of toys, he have only one son 4 old, it was so contagious( his wife enjoy the same afection or passion for sports & hobbies), I was already in love of Batman Begins Movie & the Tumbler!!! So my hobby started over again because of him, an adult with a kid inside of his soul, we all have that I know.. I love toys too, so its my hobby for now plus games yea!...

thanks God I'm not the onlyone Adult-kid that do these stuff & passion.

PS:I have to add; that my Wife is a fan of Superman/Wonder Woman/Batman and she have her own collection, my kids too have their own and for that we are a happy family that enjoy the same hobbies BYTBWink

I'm the opposite, I open almost EVERYTHING.

I am interested in the design, the "art of it," so I open it and take a look. I turn them around, feel the contours, analyze the flow and grace, see the complexity and care (or lack thereof) of the design.

Everything gets opened. I have PRECIOUS little still in the original package, mostly stuff I have multiple (more than 3 or 5) copies.


Sum Nox!
