Look at the sites rules child. It says you have to be 18 and up to post here.

or I'll drive to ya in my manly car and teach you a lesson
No.1985
>>1983but liz these are ACTION FIGURES not """""toys"""""
No.1986
I got rid of all mine except a wizard lego fig, but I basically just replaced toys for videogames.
No.1993
>>1985too late for those rationalizations, op already admitted he plays with toys
No.1995
>>1982Show us whatcha got
>>1993He's collector not player!
No.1996
>>1984Man, i got the color shifter hummvee too
Those were the fucking shit.
No.1997
>>1982No shit, nigger
>>1984>>1996Hot Wheels? Also what do you mean by color shifter? If the car changes color that's pretty cool.
>>1985Lego doesn't come under action figures so it's a toy, I guess. Unlike most adult collectors, I don't feel the need to try to rationalize it as an "action figure" and not what it is - a toy.
>>1986You ever miss your toys?
>>1995I'll post what I have tomorrow, but it's mainly Lego with some toy soldiers, a bunch of Indiana Jones and Star Wars figures, and a small bit of Playmobil. I'm thinking of buying a bootleg Guts Figma (pic related) because he looks fun and would be great to take photos of.
I sometimes play with them but internalize the noises so not to attract the attention of my family No.1998
>>1997>1982>No shit, niggerWell I fucked that up. Meant to reply to
>>1983 No.1999
>>1997Yeah, Hotwheels decided to release car that change colour when you put them under warm/cold water.
No.2000
>>1999That sounds rad. What color does yours turn?
No.2001
>>1997>Lego doesn't come under action figures so it's a toy, I guessI think that technically the things like Bionicle are action figures, though I think action figures should be considered a subset of toys unless they're literally just statues. I've got loads of Bionicles but I feel like shit today so I'll probably post some of them tomorrow.
No.2002
>>2000It was turning to army green.
I have some color shifters gonna upload them tomorrow.
They made them very well, after many waterings there is no trace of rust at all.
It doesn't change color anymore but there was a little green spot that disappeared after pouring a hot water so I'll get it into fridge later and see if it works
I was lurking in basement and found box full of hot wheels.
Went there just for jars and ended up checking them up for almost an hour.
It was so nostalgic and made me so happy like nothing ever did.
>>2001Nice, I'm gonna show off mine too.
Such a shame that they simplified bionicles.
Had those two expect the one in left corner.
my fucking brother disassembled all my robotsI'll try to rebuild them all tho I have a feeling that some parts were lost by him
No.2006
>>1997>You ever miss your toys?only in the sense that i miss being younger with a larger scale of imagination, other wise I'd still have a lot of fun building lego stuff, just not playing with them like I used too.
No.2009
>>2001Post them whenever, I'm interested in seeing them. I'd personally class Bionicle as a toy of it's own, but if I had to label it I would say they are action figures too.
>>2002That's impressive that it hasn't rusted at all.
>>2003I can't be bothered to drag everything out, so I've taken a few photos. If I had to estimate everything in these boxes is about half of my collection. The big modulars (like the one you posted) are a blast to build but are far too expensive and seem to be a magnet for dust.
>>2006I know what you mean, there's plenty of times where I've looked back and realised how easily entertained I was because I could make the rest up with my imagination.
No.2010
>>2009It's beautiful,
yet my inner child is pissed with jealousy. I had so few i'd pretend the bricks were walls and use risk pieces as characters instead.
No.2011
>>2009Also post a pic of whats in the first pictures bottom right tub, If it's what I think it is you've gained my utmost respect.
No.2012
>>2010>It's beautifulThanks
>I had so few bricks I'd pretend the bricks were walls and use risk pieces as charactersThis made me smile
>>2011Are you still on about the Lego or the Warhammer box (the thin flat box)?
No.2014
>>2013I don't have any Heroscape minis unfortunately, I've got a big enough backlog as it is. The minis pictured are the LOTR Moria goblins if you're wondering. I've always wondered if it would be possible to run a wargame of sorts through an imageboard thread, it seems cool but it would require time, other anons being interested, and a lot of patience.
No.2017
>>2014I think it'd be great, the difficultly would present itself in having to take pictures every second turn though.
No.2018
>>2017How the rules could be adapted for online use I have no idea. Probably the closest that could be done is something similar to /qst/ on 4chan
No.2035
>>2001>I'll probably post them tomorrow>12 days agoI'm incredibly lazy, wow. I also got some boxes out along with some of the older original sets which I hadn't (completely) taken apart (Kopaka Nuva is missing his head and Onewa is missing his second proto piton though). Seeing the sticker that I left on the Nivawk box was somehow both annoying and nostalgic. Normally I took those stickers off immediately. Also the original toa sets from wayyy back were pretty bad now that I look at them again. The comics from back then are probably the best and I like the bright colors but the lack of elbows and knees and a neck make them almost impossible to pose in any interesting way. The Rahi were really fun to make back then though, with all the technic stuff.
>>2002I know that it's the same thing that everyone says, but the Hero Factory stuff couldn't compare at all to Bionicle even from the worst sets. The smooth pieces are nice and the ccbs pieces can be useful, especially since they often come in most of the colors whereas with the Bionicle stuff there would sometimes be pieces that you couldn't get in more than one or two colors, but they just don't have enough technic attachments for my taste so they look too simple and anything that's built with them as the main system ends up really wobbly and unsupported. Ball joints are nice but there's no reason that the armor pieces couldn't have used technic attachments instead of ball joints. Having pieces that have both a socket and a ball joint is incredibly useful though.
No.2055
>>2014>I've always wondered if it would be possible to run a wargame of sorts through an imageboard thread, it seems cool but it would require time, other anons being interested, and a lot of patience.This is an interesting thought. If anons were familiar with the rules I could see it being possible to draw orders over photos posted by one person running the game. I could only really see that working out with a couple dedicated and informed posters. To achieve wider involvement the rules would need to be bent quite a bit because I doubt most posters would pay attention to the rules.
No.2102
>>2050Will check that out, thanks for posting a link
>>2055That's the problem. Might be worthwhile to give it a go though
No.2130
>>2000the humvee turns green in cold water and tan in warm
the mustang turns aqua blue in cold and lime green in the warmth.
No.2176
>>2175Neat, I remember watching lego stop motion stuff a lot.
Noticed my nephews threw some of my old ones in the dirt outside before they left and my inner manchild is still bitter.
No.2177
>>2176That sucks. Hopefully they're not too dirty.
No.2178
>>2177No their fine, just made me realize how highly I appreciated getting each one as a kid. I noticed I was a lot more careful with my toys as a kid than most others, maybe it's brain problems.
No.2179
>>2178Same here, I still have all my childhood in good quality. I distinctly remember learning about how grease can affect plastic as a child and after that made sure to wash my hands before playing with my toys.
I still do it to this day No.2180
>>2179That is to say natural grease and olis from your skin. I don't know if I made it clear
No.2183
>>2179Maybe it's one of the signs of potential lizardhood.
I wonder what other childhood similarities some of us carry.
No.2192
>>2183Maybe it is, I never thought of it like that. I always looked after my toys because they were the closest things I had to friends - was it the same with you?
I still believe toys are alive and will always treat them nicely and talk to them. When I used to post on 4/r9k/ years ago I met a few others like that, but I have no idea if it correlates with lizardhood. No.2193
>>2183I figure that it's a pretty specific type of person that finds places like this, I've certainly noticed a lot of patterns like this in internet virgin types, since most apply to myself.
>>2192Suffice it to say that I had what amounted to some sort of proto-tulpas as a kid that probably formed because of my lack of friends. And I still believe that they were interdimensional beings that I made representations out of lego. They left me a few years ago for reasons that are part personal, part complicated, and part forgotten since it was so long ago. I haven't spoken with them since but I like to think that they can still hear me somehow even though if it was all real then they certainly can't since their departure was as far as I know permanent.
I know I'm a fucking lunatic you don't have to tell me. No.2194
>>2193wtf it's all me expect lego the part, woah.
Weird
No.2195
>>2194It's not like I legitimately think it's real
I admit part of me still does though. At the end of the day it was just my dumbass brain finding something to do with an overactive imagination and a lack of distractions. I only call them proto-tulpas because they were really just ways for me to occupy myself, not like a real tulpa which takes a lot more effort. They're probably still in my head they just don't come out for some reason. And it wasn't like I heard them aloud, it was more like having a conversation with myself. I'm not quite as loony as Son of Sam or some shit. I just figure that I wasn't satisfied as a kid with "imaginary friend" so I made up a sort of sci-fi excuse for it.
No.2196
>>2194>>2193I had imaginary friends too, i'd imagine them being with me if i left the house, and would talk to them in my head when playing games/with toys.
I'm sad that I forgot so much about them.
There was Forest, Boomer, and Fishpaste.
Later found out Forest was a neighbors name who I never met, and keep seeing characters named boomer as I grew up (Ghost recon, left 4 dead, the meme)
I probably had a few more.
Boomer was just a humanoid silhouette who was quiet kind of like a guardian, Forest was invisible most the time, forgot what he looked like. Fishpaste was a shapeshifter but would only make himself sea creature/sea diver hybrids and he'd do it a lot to entertain me.
Wow lizards i'm mentally ill.
No.2205
The direction this thread took reminds me of the stuffies threads on Wiz.
No.2239
>>2196>>2195>imaginary friendsi have a literal unironic "imaginary lover" wich is an amalgamation of my rejection of normalnigger´s brand of love (basing everything on sex and who has the most of it) a projection of all the things that i find worthwhile in this life (for example i love my chinese mangos so imagine her as an anime girl, i value wisdom and patience therefore she is in my eyes wiser and more patient than me)
every night i make out (just kisses and cuddles tho nothing naughty) with my pillow projecting her image onto it
at some point ill get a mannequin or something and modify it to look like her, i use my image editing skills to pick drawings of anime girls and modify them to look like my mental image of her
check picrelated, whenever i am thinking deeply and reflecting on things i think of her by my side pondering those same thoughts, i dont talk to her beyond speaking to her in thoughts because in a way the magic would break since its more about imannence and feeling her presence with me as i traverse throughout this world that i hate
if you lads think you are weird for having imaginary friends or something then i wonder what you will think of me
i regret nothing tho having her by my side calms me during hard times and its good to have someone to share thoughts with,even if she does not reply something tells me this is gonna get "worse" in the future because of me being fond of Philosophy and Esotericism is going to give me ways to actually justify her existancesorry for the blogpost but this is something that i kinda wanted to share this since you guys seem to be aquainted with similar experiences No.2240
>>2239I don't think it sounds like such a bad idea, lizzie. One of the fundamental criteria for something being a mental illness is that it causes suffering and distress. I wouldn't worry about your imaginary girlfriend, she seems lovely. You should only start to worry if you start to have actual hallucinations that are involuntary and unpleasant.
The mere fact that an imaginary lover seems weird doesn't make it immoral or dangerous. Godspeed liz, and good luck with her.
No.3057
>>1984NOOOOOOO, I FUCKING LEFT IT AT PREVIOUS JOB
JUST REALIZED THIS AAAAA hahah
Also this cool photo was taken while lying flat on floor, it took some time and dedication, had issue with camera focus.
That Liz
>>2242 reminded me, I didn't talk to mine for quite some time because I was so focused on not fucking up adult life.
Which made me realize that my emotional state went downhill because of that.
Joyfully reconnected today ,feeling great and peaceful at last, no longer alienated and lost.
Also forgot to stay true to myself.
I've been trying too hard to become something that I'm not.
Already been through this process, now I remember how to be!
In my own world to live
