"Now why do people collect? It’s a sense of accomplishment, the beauty of completing things from different sources and the manner it was acquired. It also gives someone a feeling of luckiness when they bought something rare and cheap."
"The same goes with toy collecting. The thrill and excitement of adding new items in your collection is the by-product of your toy hunting. Probably some of you have gone to toy garage sales or even in the bigger toy conventions. There you’ll find many toys you haven’t seen before or toys being sold in bargain prices. When you’re lucky enough to take them home, what do you feel? You feel great!"
"Here is a list of the possible reasons why adults collect toys based on people I talked to.
- They did not have too much toys when they were little boys.
- They miss their childhood.
- They are huge fans of a movie, comics, cartoon or video game.
- A way to avoid bad habits or spending money on useless things.
- They feel younger.
- They admire arts particularly sculptures.
- They enjoy articulation.
- They enjoy taking pictures of toys.
- For fun."
"Now let’s proceed to the benefits of toy collecting.
- It develops your resourcefulness.
- You learn to be patient when it comes to budgeting.
- An easier way to reward yourself.
- It brings life to your movie or game imaginations.
- It develops your judgment when it comes to sculpting and articulations.

- You can relate well with younger people like your children.
- Not bad for your health unless you chew them.
- It can boost your mood level when you look at your toy shelves.
- You develop your sense of organizing and how to utilize small room spaces.
- You can teach your children to cherish their toys at early age".
