To what extent do your friends, family and loved ones support, understand, or tolerate your toy hobby?

Overall, yes. My family might get a little vocal if they think I'm going overboard, like if I suggest stopping at Target "just to look" one-too-many times. But they're pretty cool about it.

Tolerate, yes. Give in to, no. Hell, my wife has even asked me what I want for my birthday, coming up on Jan 28th, and she added, "Before you tell me what you want, I'm not buying you GI Joes."
So I said, "Then don't buy me anything." |

Yes, tolerate, very loosely. Me Ma, she can't stand it. It drives her crazy.

no. it is a big issue with my wife, but I keep all of my collection in my office.. so long as nothing ever spills over, it is ok, but occassionally she has a meltdown...
when she does I remind her of her hundreds spent monthly on clothing and shoes, of which my arguement is loose, but sometimes helps. usually these blow-outs result in a large thinning of my collection, which is often good as I only keep and display the things I really like, and let go of the things that are so-so.

It drives my wife crazy too. I don't get it. And this is the one and only "thing" I have for myself. And it's just GI Joe toys, nothing else. She asked me once, "Can't you do something else besides collect GI Joes?" I said, "I could start collecting girlfriends." Well, that didn't go over very well. But I made my point. |

My wife hates my passion for gi joes but whenever she goes shopping she will check the toy aisle for me and then proceed to taunt me with no I'm not gettting you that. I just rationalize that women aren't humans and are in fact an alien species.

Na man. I meant my Ma as in my mother. When she comes by the house I have an arctic setup right when you walk in. It drives her bonkers and she wants to clean that shit up. My GF, closest thing I have to a wife ATM, helps me out with customs and supports my hobby. She hooked me up with some 7 packs from BBTS for Christmas. Just waiting on them to ship out. Yeah I can imagine that didn't pan out so well in the end. Bet you got a good laugh out of it though.
