I saw this cool video and wanted to use it to springboard a discussion about greed and toy collecting.
How much is too much?

Dude has disposable income. Let him spend it on whatever makes him happy.

>How much is too much?
As much as your wallet allows it, if you have the cash why not buy something you like even if it's slop to others? As long as you have self control and don't blow all your money on plastic it should be fine.

I do buy large legos because I'm a big boy with my own moneys but these sets do nothing for me so I don't care. The GWP purchase was the best set of this wave.

Do you consistently find enough figures every month that will amount to $1000? Maybe it's my economically conservative brain due to being poorer, but I can barely find 10 or slightly more import figures such as SHF, Mafex, Revoltech every month which I want.

NTA but my monthly fund for toys is lumped into a "fun" bucket, meaning anything I do for fun falls into it. Of course, I'll make exceptions once or twice a year, but usually I stick to the monthly budget I set for myself. I have other hobbies that are more expensive than buying toys, so it's not hard for me to hit my budget.

>People trying to flex their wealth on a toy board where the average figure costs $25-100
Do richfags really?

Any amount is too much you retards. The chemicals used to make these pointless fucking plastics poison the earth, poison us all. Go write, or draw, do anything to get your virgin loser fantasies out other than buy these plastic pieces of junk. I mean seriously, wtf is this board? You are all stuck in your childhood, and yet you argue with each other, like anyone that is here could possibly be superior to anyone else KEK. Grow out of your baby phase and do something unselfish for once in your life

This dude is an absolute fucking retard. He's on LAN and gets all the big sets for free but lacks any creativity when it comes to MOCing. All he does is buy, buy, buy and hoard. He only builds official sets and rebrickable models. This is showcased in his soulless attempt of a City.
On top of it, he gives horrible advice to his viewers like seen in this video:

No you cannot build the Café Corner for $60.

I think the problem starts when the hobby turns into lifestyle. When you turn it into indentity and it becomes main/sole escapism.
You start to buy and hoard became fomo and seeing every new release as a next resin/plastic/abs hit.
The money is an issue only if you lack them or other parts of your life are touched by it.
I probably spent around 200-300dol per year on lego in the last 7 years and around ~500dol on other toy stuff each time I visited japan (which was 3 times in the last 9y). 3500dol spent on toys is large amount to some, to others its kind of money that can start your collection.
In the end I dont have space to display any more of this shit and I acknowlege it.
People that cant are the one that jave a problem.
