My friends know Im wierd, I could tell them I was starting a collection of Spatulas and they would probably just think it was funny and buy me a spatula. (I always use spatula as an example because its a funny word lol )
But, theyve seen me do alot of wierd shit over the years, nothing surprises them anymore. But they still give me wierd looks if I go on a rant about "that wasn't accurate to the cartoon/comic/etc" but, at least they accept it. Oh, and to the OP, tell your friends/family that collecting Joes is better than collecting child support payments, alimony or outright burning money in the form of cigarettes among other things.

LOL - I haven't bothered to ask them! My wife is cool with it and my kids (6 and 7) think it's awesome. Screw anyone else's opinion.

Mr girlfriend hates it, but I tend to put in the correct perspective for her: I could be spending this money on hookers and blow. Somehow that makes it better.
My parents, even at 32, enable my habits by looking for Joes for me when they are out. |

I keep my joes next to a jar of dirty heroine needles. If anyone questions how I spend my money I explain that it was a choice in life that I made to collect toys and dirty heroine needles.

IN my line of work i meet people that dont collect but share my passion for Joe collecting .. The army building is what gets them! And to be totally honest Im starting to creep myself out.......When I told my wife she thought it was cute until my crazy ex started hanging my collection (whats left of it) over my head and i picked it up .. she said whats in the box.. I said Man stuff .. so from that day forward she refers to it as my Man stuff .
Sorry ladies (MAN stuff) no offense .... |

Family, yes.
Friends, no. My parents (who are dead now) were always embarrassed by it. They didn't want me to talk about it or anyone to know about it. I really do think they would have preferred I had a drinking problem so at least it would have been "normal." When I would visit them, I would feel the need to smuggle things I'd bought inside or hide them in my car like they were drugs. If my mother saw me with a toy, she'd get mad and talk about how stupid it was for me to be spending money on toys as an adult and when was I going to grow up?

I still can't break it to anyone I customize toys. Major geek alert, but I've always been into art and toys so it was natural. People ask me what team I'm on when I'm at the Games shop cause I look like a big hispanic dude who you would never guess would be into that stuff.

Most of my friends are collectors too, so it's not a problem at all!
