I've gotten weird looks when I'm in the toy isles, but truth be told I've never been verbally teased. There seems to be a stigma against toy collectors as it has been the butt of jokes and parodies for a while now, but I have never felt belittled collecting toys or shopping for them. I honestly prepare myself for the worst when I do so but the preparation has never come into use. Even my friends who I've shown my collection too have been positive for it and never have made fun of me for it. I kind of feel it is becoming a bit more acceptable in society. Did anything happen to you that causes you to pose this question Gung Ho?
