On the day of the Singapore Toys Games Comics Convention, I got to know through Facebook that both my cousins in California and Japan were reminiscing their past hobbies. What a coincidence. My cousin in California was showcasing his toy purchases and the other in Japan was competing in a Magic cards tournament, while I in Singapore was attending a convention.
I managed to chat with my cousin in California and was even trying to get him to search for my toys to complete the collection. Through our conversations, I suddenly thought of cataloging all the collections I had since I started 14 years back.
So I came home and noted all the collections. The pictures of my collections are in Classification of a Geek album. And below are the breakdown of what I've spent throughout the 14 years. Do note that the total is a rough calculation and does not include the collections that I gave away or managed to sell.
The Breakdown(as cataloged in the album):
- My 870+ comics $3702.00
- Eminem action figure $35.00
- DC Direct action figure $30.00
- DC comics Superhero Collection $224.25
- 1/6 Action figure $89.90
- Star Wars: Episode I collection $35.00
- Buffy the Vampire Slayer action figures $350.00
- Danger Girls action figure $30.00
- Neca TMNT $150.00
- TF: K.O. Combiners $30.00
- TF: Robots in Disguise $194.60
- TF: Robot Masters $45.00
- TF: Armada $49.80
- TF: Alternators/Binaltech $530.00
- TF: Animated $980.30
- TF: Revenge of the Fallen $271.30
- TF: ROTF Human Alliance $209.70
- TF: Generations $53.80
- TF: Alternity $85.00

- G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra 3.75" $75.60
TOTAL DAMAGE: $7265.75
I was actually expecting the collection to hit $10K. Apparently, some of the items I own worth more than the actual cost, hence it might worth up to $10K. For now, I'll just spent to hit my $10K mark and call it a quit. Don't worry, it would not be anytime soon because I'm slowing down on my collection drastically.
Ja Matta!
