When I want to see pics of toys or people collections I admire, I just click on my favorites and have a little eye candy session. I admit when I was new here I use to post pics of celga hauls etc etc. but now it's only when I find something I've been after for ages. I'm a jaded member now

 Re: Am I the only person here...
Lixx, I agree with you all the way. As a matter of fact, those two threads have only spiked activity in the past 6-8 months. I don't know what that is due to, but IMO it is sort of lame (please, no offense to anyone). Saving up some treats for an occasional post is fun to look forward to and wonder. Seeing everyone empty their mailbox every single week...meh.

 Re: Am I the only person here...
My only beef (and it's admittedly a small one) about thread trends is that the venerable "RxH Collections" thread was originally about exactly that. It was started at a time when a smaller number of people had been collecting RxH for long enough to have collections of varying sizes, and it was time to share images of the booty. It eventually became the "look at what I just bought!" thread instead, which IMO should have been a separate thread entirely.
Some folks are frequent show-offs and some are more reluctant about it, more likely to show part of a collection once it's at a certain point than to go public with every little thing they bought ... if ever! Historically there used to be a lot more discretion about kaiju collecting, and there was even at the time I started lurking here.
FWIW I like Geo's photos. He has good taste in toys and takes great photos of them. As someone else said, "to each their own." It's pretty easy to ignore threads or for that matter people that you don't appreciate.
