My boyfriend I always teasing me about my "Plastic pieces of crap" (thats what he calls my precious LPS collection) He thinks I'm too old (I'm 25) to collect toys. Even know he plays with his stupid big boy toy motorbike (no offence Misty) He just doesnt understand, my family and friends think I'm crazy as well. None of them understand the beauty of LPS collecting  Does anyone elses partner/family/friends tease them about toy collecting??? |

bwahahahahaha! yes! doesn't all of our boyfriends make fun of us? hahahaha. mine always calls them "little animal farm" and i always made fun of his gun collecting/plasma tv obsession/jordans collecting/HDTV movies obsession/video games whatever phase he is going through. only my boyfriend knows how much i'm really into littlest pet shop, besides his daughter. then my younger brother and sister inlaw kind of know about it. know one else knows about my obsession.
no one understands but us. we all have each other. instead of the me being the little old lady with the tacky dusty dolls all over the place, i'll be the little old lady with the dusty littlest animal farms. *sniff* *hold meeee*

Awww, what a sweet boyfriend! I think its funny how you hide it from your family and friends, I guess mine already know I'm a nutter so it doesnt bother me so much |

Flipdat - I know, men can be such hippocrites! (hope I spelled that correctly) Yes, I'll be an old woman, guarding my LPS collection with a walking stick from my grandchildren.

my boyfriend is actually kind of interested in my collection--- he totally supports me in it.. but my dad thinks i'm crazy! i have to lie to my parents about how much i spend... my little sister absolutely adores me for it though (especially because i've started her-- fairly substantial-- collection as well)  |

part with none! make an entire show room of toys that no one could touch. like a big plexiglass case with a lock on it. an entire room to show off all of your colletor's toys. okay... i was just really fantasizing for myself. =[ my only other idea for a useless room is to turn it into a closet room. i was folding my clothes today and thinking about how i really need to update all of my clothes and all of that money i spent on lps, i coulda spent on myself in being a girl... or paying some bills off. =p

oh that sounds like so much fun. okay, i know i'm wierd, but i love organizing. and you're lucky! you do have a spare room and not someone living in it! maybe you can organize it like redracymama's inventory room. that would be cool. i think all you really need is some cheap shelves, though, and just label a bunch of boxes, and you'd be good to go! =]

My husband collected toys before I met him. So, total support there. He comes home with LPS's almost as much as I do.
My family is supportive, too. And those who don't have any interest in it, have never teased me. I tend to distance myself from people like that.
