I didn't mean any disrespect, I hope you all know that.

I think it's fantastic that he devoted so much of his life to toys because he loved them so much and I honestly hope that I am like him and still have that passion when I'm older

It was clear to me that you were admiring his enthusiasm as an older collector...

I must have bought 15 to 20 Glow Kaiju pieces from them in the past 3 years.
Such nice people.
