What do you guys plan to do with your toys before you die? Whether you don't want kids, are unable to have them, or your own kids don't share your interests, what should you do with them? I love my small collection and plan to enjoy them for the rest of my life until my time comes and when that time finally comes, I want them to make other people happy but don't know how to go about it.

I'm arranging for an elaborate tomb. Most of my stuff is going to be interred with me, like the pharaohs of old. I also will be cataloguing everything in detail for the benefit of future archeologists. The idea is they can preserve the burial relatively undisturbed as a museum space.

I was thinking on giving it to my close friends but I realized they'll also be old by that point. Fuck I don't know anon, perhaps leaving them to my family and if they don't like them just put a price so they can be sold.

Unless you actually sell them/give them away before death, you can't be sure what happens after. And even then, who gives a shit, you'll be dead.

My father died in an accident when we were toddlers, and my mom had to move cities quickly with a bunch of kids, so most of his toys collection and models ended in the trash or given away. The few things we kept we played with until it was done for, so trust me, whatever happens to your collection after you die is irrelevant.

I have kids unlike most of you virgins

I plan to gather enough toys to have them melted down and have a coffin made. Then I can rot surrounded by the embrace of the plastic that gave me joy in life
>>
I'm not going to project my hobby onto my kid so one day I'll probably sell my things off and use the money to buy something equally useless but easier for my family to get rid of
>>
Real answer, I don't really care.
It'll be up to my kids. I would recommend they sell to probably make some good money.

I'll be dead though, so they could easily just throw everything away, and I won't be able to do anything. Maybe my ghost can haunt on of the toys? I don't know.
>>
>>11708067
If I do end up having kids, maybe I'll make some kind of document with photos of what everything is and a rough estimate at the time of what each item's worth so they can have an easier time selling it all if they choose to. I thought of this because my dad's also a collector and imagining dealing with all his WWII figures, comics, stamps, coins, etc. after he passes is overwhelming. But I could also end up significantly cutting my collection down as I get older and my interest in certain franchises/the hobby itself wanes, which is already kind of happening. Consideration for your family aside, once you're dead, it's someone else's problem.

I already know I’m gonna be selling all of them within the next few years so assuming I don’t die by then, it won’t be any concern for me.

Are you just a troll trying to make anons depressed again?
>>
I won't have kids and I'll be killing myself eventually as I can't seem to heal from various trauma. If I could safely do so I'd donate to people here but it would expose everybody to too much risk and doing, so I'll leave notes for the more expensive and rare ones to be sold by people around me have to deal with my shit,hopefully that'll get them a few thousand.
In the meantime I just try to appreciate what I've got
>>
>>11708369
No, I'm not that guy but this shouldn't make you depressed because we're all going to die someday and it's good to know what to do when that time comes. Not only do I find my toys awesome to look at but they're extra special to me because my family and I have bonded over them and they're going to be the only things keeping me sane (at least until I find a woman and/or pet) as I eventually lose my remaining closest loved ones.

had this thought when i was like 10 playing with Hero Factory and had an existential crisis and started tearing (not crying cos i'm a big boy) because i had no idea what to do with my toys and thought they were gonna end up in a landfill

i still haven't reconciled with this as a grown human being, mostly just compartmentalizing and enjoying my plastic in the moment. i do know toy museums exist here and there, i could donate before i went, but i have no idea if they would want it and of course it needs to be in good condition too

Melt all the toys down and encase my corpse in the molten plastic.

How do you know when you die tho? Unless you are on counting days by having cancer or shit. Also if you die no one actually care about you, let alone shit you left behind. Good ending is they sell your toys and got free money, bad ending is they throw it at the trash can.

>>11708067
Don't really care, i love my collection and i enjoy them right now but i don't think toys are a good inheritance for anyone even if that person collects toys too since every collection is a reflection of the collector who build it.

This topic came up at a fortuitous time as I was contemplating the very same thing. The conclusion that I arrived to after a lot of soulsearching is that if I was agonizing about what should happen to my collection after I'm gone, it was a sign that I should divest my collection now. Sell the things that will sell, donate the rest. Hang on to a few key pieces that have sentimental value, then that's it.

*think like this a lot except im a woman (authentic) and also have bigass chronic pain

If you have virtually any animal or robot character toy or plushie you really want to give away you can leave an email. I dont have issues or fear with anybody on this site, or am easily disturbed anymore. But i would much rather you get better if possible. We both should stick it out a little more, watch if the world burns and aliens or crazy tech arrive, or start the fire if needed. Organizers may need the suicidals to wipe away the evil mfs. You should try weed, almost any kind of mushrooms, biweekly massage. Not the froo froo kind. The tougher massage kind people with chronic pain get. That helps trauma leave you, it has a physical storage component in your body, especially in your chest. Also, fat stores trauma. If you stick with a keto diet you will lose weight quick, i lost 45 pounds in a year and feel much better. I also did 60 mg of duloxetine (anti depressant and pain killer) every day for 9 years and have diminished a lot of trauma that way too. Not sure i can recommend as that shit literally ate my memory and made me lose a lot of memory ability. Cant remember wtf happened this week. I still prefer it to always being disturbed by trauma and grief though. It doesnt seem difficult to be prescribed. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Best of luck anon.

I plan to build a huge climate control mausoleum, with recessed ceiling spot lighting and built in custom designed detolf shelving, where all my precious collectibles will be on full display, continuously filmed and photographed via a solar powered (with geothermal heat energy back-up) closed circuit television cameras that capture every beautiful, rich angle of my dust free shelves, with perfectly posed action figures, captured forever in pristine condition for posterity, and this will stream 24/7 out to the world over a vast array of global satellites networked to cover every inch of the planet, so that everyone else will feel deep sadness and full FOMO when I kick it.

Either let my next of kin have an estate sale or let them keep them.

to be honest dog im already selling it for emergency money

I’m just going to make a catalogue of prices so either my next of kin can sell them off and not be ripped off or I will sell them myself when I get too old to enjoy them. Or even gift them to a younger collector if they want them.

>to be honest

Well if you need it for genuine emergencies, sorry to hear that and that sucks.

But everybody should be planning to unload plastic c̶r̶a̶p̶ ̶ crack that is just sitting in storage lockers, shoved in tubs or bins or the back of closets or spare rooms, etc., and hasn't see the light of day since forever.

And yes, that includes you assholes that shove plastic crack into shelving units until they cover every inch and if they were real human beings, they would be breaking out from being shoved so closed together to other humans.

If you're swapping out displays or shit, okay. Otherwise - purge, baby, purge.

Can see why youre skeptical i guess. Im a raised by the internet (since 8), video games and fandoms woman, strange mf, thoughtful, sentimental, no hangups/filter type. Unusual without even adding the health and hermitness factors. I want to see more people like me.

Ive even been to a 4chan originated convention twice lol (for colorful horses)

>stupid crap nobody should listen to
how much for your amazing toys that I'm only going to shove into a closet in hopes i'll enjoy them someday in the future?

That's fucking peak GI Joe right there and if i alsos wasn't running out of space, I'd be serious. And I already own a small army of those specific figures, but you could always own more. Everything from Pursuit of Cobra was fantastic, right down to the specific shades of colors for the generic Cobra troopers. Thjey're just slightly darker than the previous ones and the molded detail is far superior. Those Renegade figures are also fantastic.

Toys like that would be the last things i get rid of. Once i actually run out of space, it's the random fantasy shit I've bought over the years that's the first to go. Then building blocks. Followed by board games/minis. They take up so much space and have seen so little use.
And for everyone one of these toys I'd get rid of, i could get 3-20 1:18 Pursuit of Cobra figures or other nice 1:18 lines.

Sorry friend, that was a random tub from the internet, I've learned not to post my actual shit on this board, too many toxic assholes with too much time on their hands.

Plus they are assholes with stalker behavior. Far too much on-line time in their lives, since they apparently have nothing better going on.

And I know what you mean, I've been giving away the stuff that would take too long to try to sell to the Vietnam Vets of America, because the charity that pimps for them will come to your place and pick it up. I had clothes and other crap to get rid of it and they wanted toys, so I bought some new things from Ross but also included all my unwanted hard plastic toys and the like, everything useless except for the useless fodder since the thrift stores they turn around and park this stuff at wouldn't know how to unload that.

This is such a discouraging response. These cunts are why /toy/ is so shit now. Too many people afraid to post pics of their toys because some schizo will try to stalk them. I hate sharing a hobby with such mentally ill lunatics. Giving internet access to the masses was such a mistake.

>>11708067
I had a friend die a couple years ago and his wife gave me boxes and boxes of toys.

I've been trying to get rid of it and reduce my collection. It's made the toys feel like a burden and not a fun experience anymore. When I die? Idk, I won't be here, but hopefully someone can have fun with them and not feel like they're a god damn burden like I feel it from my friends and my own right now.

i usually take close up photos of my shit. Completely disassociated with my rooms and bookcases. Or i use black backgrounds. I'll even change up the background from time to time, to keep things "new"

When i want my posts to be linked with my stuff, i include a figure or something unique that appeared in my old photos, so someone actually has to pay attention and have a good memory to recognize my photos. ... if i don't repost them.

You have to make a ledger with prices and values and make sure multiple people have a copy before you die.

Even then, there is still a good chance your family will get 30% of the value because they are lazy and or stupid and just trade it to some dealer. 30% is the high end too.

The average american is just a dumb consumer that is barely ok at their day job. Yes, even the people you love. They are not going to be assed to get top dollar for your things.

Worst case is in their greed and laziness they dumpster everything you own so they can sell your car and house and split that thats what usually happens.

Middle ground is they donate it.


Also, organize your shit. Put all the like things in a box. Label the boxes. You have to make it insanely easy for the next person. I can not overstate how lazy and atupid people are about this.

Besides. If you organize your shit, it will. E easier to still enjoy if you make it to old age. People that pile everything into huge totes from Lowes are in for a rude awakening when they can not longer lift thoae things
