June 25, 201312 yr Anybody here also a fan of that tv show? Watched it last night...had couple guys with huge inventory of comics and transformers toys that were just 'addicted' or very passionate about their collection. Both over valued their collection and didn't want to sell anything. Would be cool to see a Lego collector on this show...
June 25, 201312 yr Glad to see it is back...cool show. I saw the first couple but then it stopped airing. Obsession and hoarding come to mind when watching CI. I guess what many of us at BP deal with at times. Toy Hunter is cool too from a toy history standpoint, but his schtick and pricing is getting old.
June 25, 201312 yr Would be cool to see a Lego collector on this show... Easy, just give the producers Ed's address.
June 25, 201312 yr That hoarding can't be healthy mentally or hygienic wise haha. At least the host on the show was trying to tell the collector, it's better to have quality over quantity. When it spills into your living/dining room and your spouse hates it...time to go sell some inventory or get a bigger place or live alone Some people hold a lot or too much sentimental value in their toys. Easy, just give the producers Ed's address. Haha, I think the major investors on this forum do well selling and can let go of their sets.

June 25, 201312 yr Great show, I enjoy it and "Toy Hunter" and "The Nerdist". Toy Hunter is awesome! The vintage toys are usually pretty interesting.
June 25, 201312 yr I think its only bad when you have a bunch of duplicates, that type of thing. I have a lot of records. But my collection of Led Zeppelin is stupid. Because I have multiples of every album
June 25, 201312 yr The guys at work were bugging me today that I'm going to need a Lego intervention soon and I don't have nearly the amount of sets some of you guys have. I am obsessed though, in a healthy way.
June 25, 201312 yr Toy Hunter is cool, but really only because it's the only show devoted to toys. If there were a better one, I'd watch that instead. I mean, I like it, I like the host, but it's too staged and canned. "oh, I flew 957 miles hoping you'd have a specific toy from 1973." "I do have that toy." "Great!" ...right.

That would be like me going on Craigslist and looking up listings for states I don't even live in!
June 26, 201312 yr Can someone tell me what channel and what day collection intervention is on. Please and thank you.
June 26, 201312 yr Here is the homepage for Collection Intervention. Tuesdays at 10/9c on the SyFy Channel.
