I'm not trying to harp on this but I think this bit of info is telling.
I showed my brother this figure tonight and asked him if I should sell it. It's a Sideshow IG-88 12" that lights up with an illuminated stand and everything. Still complete in the box: It's actually his, that I found in his bedroom. He had ZERO idea it was his. I asked him multiple times what I should do with it, and he just said hold onto it until you need the money. This isn't the only thing he has in there. He has a few of those Hot Toys 12" Predators that are worth a lot. And....he doesn't even know it. He's been so fucked up and living in another room/world for so many years he doesn't know what he has. It's like he's totally forgotten a portion of his life. This is part of why I feel like I need to watch out for him. But it's really not easy.

Trigger2k, that sounds bad indeed. I must say I have, just this year, bought a figure I already had and was sure I hadn't... of course, after 5500 figures on starts losing track...

A lot of people look down upon it still. My siblings used to make jab comments about it. Then I sold off a big portion of my collection and paid cash for a very expensive car. When they found that out they've left me alone since.
