Is there such a Guinness Record classification for the world's gargantuanest private toy collection?

I've never stopped to do the math, though now I'm horribly tempted to. I won't, though, because it'll make me feel all guilty about dropping so much cash on figures.
I sometimes think about how much more money I'd have if I didn't collect toys..that thought did make me cut down a bit on my collecting habit, along with the usual problems with lack of space. I know I didn't spend up into the thousands on figures this year, but it must be up into a few hundred, which is still a lot of money.
Though I am pretty good about managing my money. I consider what I make from selling jewelry to be my extra toy money. If I haven't sold anything in a while, no toy for me, unless it's something that I know will fly off the shelves and be impossible to find in the future.
Snape, I agree.
if you have the cash, why not?
what else are ya gonna do with it?
can't take it with ya...
mind ya, the same applies to the toys, too. [img]wink.gif[/img]

"ok..can't buy it..but..but..it's a female figure, and those always become impossible to find! if I don't buy it now, I'll never find one after this..."
yep...last month was a killer for me as well....about 1200-1300 bucks....i really want to try to keep track in 2005 as well....just to see......
oh and i'm using snape's "house stuff" idea.....yeah....house stuff...i like that! [img]wink.gif[/img]
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">over a thousand in the last month? wow, I think I spent about $50 in the last couple of months. Or at least under a hundred. Maybe $100. If I go any further with this I'll only feel regretful I'm sure.Originally posted by alkoholik:

Really though my figure spending has been pretty conservative lately considering the gaps in between figure lines, with little to anything worth buying in between.

I try to keep track of all the cash I earn and spend in a year (and what I spend it on). I find it interesting what I spend on what. But I'm a boring person.
Most of it's McFarlane, but I also get all of the LotR figures, some Star Wars, DCD (and that stuff's expensive), Pallisades (also quite expensive these days) and other various things. I keep thinking I should keep track of what money I spend on what companies, but that might be a bit much.
PORTHOS, I've been pretty busy. I recently moved. So that kept me from getting online much. And now I've been out buying shelves and setting up toys, now that I actually have room to display them. I also just started school again. So I haven't had much free time these days.
Erm...anything else? I suppose not...
