I have a collection of thirteen Power Ranger action figures. I say action figures, but let’s be real and call them for what they are. Toys. And not the single action figures that are like dolls. The ones that split into three or five parts and can combine to create the overall Megazord. I have thirteen of those. It’s not a collection quite large enough to be considered hoarding, yet it is as obtrusive as having two large statues of cats at each and every doorway. I started my collection based on sentimental value. So right off the bat, it’s already problematic. As a person who is accident prone, many, many of those action figures have come into my possession and have left quite as quickly. Meaning that I have had more than the thirteen I have presently. It all started …show more content…
They. Were. Absolutely. LIVID. At first, they tried to confiscate my models. “What a waste of money. Return them at once.” I countered, “It reminds me of my childhood. Remember? Aunt Helen gave me one and I wanted it to help remember her by.” They were consoled for the time being. “Well, okay. You’re right. You may keep the toy.” Little did they know that I was about to spend another seven hundred and fifty dollars on the secondary and tertiary model which were even more rare than the first. This time, it was completely because of selfish reasons and had no sentimental value except for having a complete set. What is the price of reliving old memories? Where is the limit? How much was I willing to pay to remember my past? Clearly as much as I could. Anything that reminded me of my past and of the days when I was a carefree child, free to interact with my cousins without any expectations about my behavior. Whether it was a toy, a song, a shoe, or a photo. Anything that triggered some sort of nostalgia I bought and brought home to share my past and reminisce with my parents. Anything for that. There is no limit. I am willing to pay anything and everything. Anyone
I have a children's table and chairs set, painting/drawing easels, toys, books, puzzles, play dough, and various garden toys.
There are many items that I have in my possession that make me feel accomplished or an item that I use just daily. There is however, some items that have absolutely no idea why I have, and continue to hold on to them. For example, I still have a karate trophy that I really don’t pride, a computer hard drive that should have been thrown away, and some empty boxes of Run Gum. It’s either I don’t want it or I don’t need it, and these three items I really should not have, but will continue to possess.
“I’m sure you’ll think of something,” she reassured him. “Hopefully the boys’ll come back with something that’ll pull some of this together.”
“Yes of my grandma that died in 2005 and that is the only thing I have from her.”
You remember when you was little and you valued something or you had to have something, but as you get older you could care less about it. When i was around 10 or 11 I had to have all the stuffed animals I grew up with on my bed. I wouldn't let anyone touch them because they were mine and mine only .It was about 30 stuffed animals on my bed and I would sleep on them because they were so comfortable and I love having memories, I wouldn't let anyone take them off my bed, I wouldn't even let anyone touch them. Today I don't have much stuffed animals on my bed like iIused to, but I could care less about anyone take them, but I want them
Legos plus Star Wars, what more do we need to say? Both Legos and Star Wars items are highly desirable and highly collectible, so the desirability factor on this item is through the roof.
I have always been fond of baseball cards. As a kid I would beg my parents for money to by a new pack of cards so I could build my collection. At night I used to read the back of each player's card and memorize all of their key stats. I have many complete collections sitting in my room and I probably own around 10000 cards from card buying, gifts, and Goodwill exploring.
In the package, the action figures would have on superhero clothing such as Spiderman, Star Wars, and many more. Even though action figures are consider dolls for boys, but boys don’t play with them as dolls. Boys are more violent and aggressive with action figures. Most action figures are hero, so boys are imaging that they are saving someone from a bad guy or beating the bad guy
lets go with my favorite childhood possession. well it would have to be my stuffed bear and lamb set I was just a baby when I received the bear from my cousin she had given it to me when she was around 7 or 8 so it already had seen the horror of child hood and it was about to see it again. when I was about 2 I had gotten a stuffed lamb from my mom ever since that day the two have never left my side. when I was 4 I brought the lamb with me to day care and accidently ripped off the arm but my grandma gave her a "check up " and about every 2 or so years both the stuffed lamb and bear would get all fixed up new stuffing and everything. I soon began traveling back and forth between my moms house in California and my dads house in Vegas. I took the
Here’s what you need to know about the differences between hoarding stuff and accumulating collectibles:
When someone outgrows or shows apathy to their toys, usually they keep them, give it to a younger family member, give them to charity, or throw them away. I thin it's best to give them to charity, poverty, or something of that nature. There are many innocuous kids in the world that don't have toys to play with or devices to entertain them. Even the most banal things would interest
Over the years, he has accumulated toys, lots of toys, not only from us but also from our children and grandchildren. One of his favorites is a one-quarter size frisbee. Another is a squeaky cloth mole looking toy and the, five or six little yellow tennis balls.
Two items in my residence room that I value the most are my poster of Mike Tyson boxing and my framed picture of my Mom and I. Even though one of my items is simply a poster of someone I have never met, it carries a lot of significance. My father got me that poster of my favourite boxer. My father getting me that poster shows that he has finally accepted and is proud that I participate in boxing, which was something he was very hesitant of me doing at first because of the risk of injuries. Knowing my father supports me doing something I love means the world and as a result that is why I love that poster. The second item is more self-explanatory. The picture serves as a memory of my mother who helped get me to where I am at this point in my
I have never liked clutter, I am a good one for always throwing things out.
When I was about ten years old my Grandmother, on my Mother's side, passed away. Over the years she had accumulated hundreds of collectable Barbies that were meant to be passed down to me when she died, however not everyone was happy about that. At ten years old I now lived with my Dad, who despised my Mother’s side of the family, and there was no way he was going to take me to get what was mine. My aunts and cousins ended up taking all of them and sold
