"Ted, you know, if I die, you can have my Megadeth collection."

Does your significant other give you grief for those comic book longboxes, or that sheld of Animaniacs figures? Point them to this guy's web page. Things could always be worse (via Metafilter):

Being an expert in pre-judging people, I can make the following assumptions about this gentleman:

+ He has no kids
+ Or cats
+ He does not live near any active fault lines, volcanos, or elephants
+ Dusting takes an entire day
+ He keeps his "special" collections in the basement

Oh...

My...

God...

OK, on the prejudging list, you know and I know that we all are mentally adding, "He has never had a mutually satisfying sexual experience in his life."

It's not fair. I don't care. We all did it.

As to the actual content, I don't know if I was more scared by the collections, or by how many of the items I could identify off the top of my head.

Tony has an obsessive-compulsive complex -- note the precise spacing between figurines. He is unmarried and lives alone. He does all of the construction for the displays and casework himself -- the craftsmanship is meticulous but not professional.

Tony is of below average height. I suspect his eyesight is failing -- note the placement of lights. Despite his pleas for financial help, Tony has a comfortable income and does not need to work.

Tony has lower back pain, judging from his use of pillows on his chairs. He does not entertain guests. He does not employ a cleaning service.

If by 'special collection' you mean mountains of sticky, sticky porn, then yes.

I can't wait till his clumsy friend comes back from his Mt. Everest expedition, relates his amazing story, gesticulates wildly, trips, falls over, and knocks all that shit down... several times.

Awww... I can't see!!! He took his collection page down. If this picture on our page is any indication, I really wanted to see.

Appears "the Collector" is offended by negativity...I won't say it, but you know what I'm thinkin'.

Replace all those figurines with DVDs and I'll be in complete ecstasy for life.
