How much time per week is spent on your hobby?

[jakks1996collector]

Just wanted to hear from other figure collectors on how much time each day/week do you spend on your hobby?

Whether it be coming on the WFigs boards, figure hunting, reading online about figures, playing with figures, displaying figures, looking at your display, etc. or anything to do with wrestling figures..

How much of your time is spent on it per day/week?

Almost too much time. Lol. I check wfigs everyday and stop at stores at least 5-7 times a week. Sometimes more if I'm really on the hunt. Kind of a bad thing because it takes time away from work, studying, errands, etc.

I've been doing a lot more fixup recently and I'm always on wfigs hoping Mattel releases an unannounced proto

I look for figures at least twice a week. Usually I visit a store or two on the way home though.

I visit a number of forums, but I spend maybe two or three hours just browsing this and other toy-related sites. It depends on how much stuff I have to do throughout the day.

I don't really play with my figures too often. Don't get me wrong, I do pose any new figures that I get as well as marvel at Mattel's craftsmanship.

All in all though, I'd say my hobby takes a backseat to real life. I usually have to attend classes and do college work. That being said, I sometimes take a figure off the shelf and pose it while I'm doing work, so that I don't completely lose my mind. ;D

i spend an hour a night resetting my display as my figures get used. I figure hunt at my local stores 3 times a week, i will travel further (>30miles) maybe twice a month. Ebay and this place are always open so i am constantly watching what's happening and what's getting sold.

I go to a few stores about twice a week,check this site daily. My set up was just redone but dosint change much buyt ill move stuff around from time to time. I'd like to spend a little more time with my hobbies but its getting harder between work,family and a little girl on the way ill be lucky to have any time for myself lol. But everyone needs that 'me' time so I'm sure ill make some lol

[fallbrawl]

I log in here everyday. I check ebay 2 or 3 times a week looking for certain figures.I spend my weekends going to flea markets and retail stores trying to find my next figure.

Within the last couple months I really have toned down how much I've been collecting for some reason down to maybe 2-4 figures a month. I check stores maybe 1-2 days every couple weeks. But I log on here if not every day at least 5 out of 7 days a week. I've gave up on thrift store hunting for rare collectables though.

too much

I stop through the toy aisle in just about every department store, dollar store, thrift shop, pharmacy I go to & of course make special trips to flea markets.

I loved building arenas growing up with my RA figures so that's part of the appeal of rumblers for me. I started with a Lego set up to give me an idea of what I wanted to do with it before I start the wood work. Their scale makes them economically effortless to build an arena, ring & accessories to scale. I find just posing them on a shelf a tad boring so I spice it up.

I love stylized vinyl art figures also so in truth I found most of the 2" buddy style figures like fairly interesting as a small collection. Toy Story, DC etc.

The only full scale figures I collect are the occasional historically significant Mattel figure or one I just really like, & old loose RAs I always wanted as a kid but, never got.

I also check the forum daily. Couple times on slow days.

I loved them as playthings, & I love them as artwork now.

147 hours/week.

well depends i dun buy for collecting but or resell so i bought more than 1 figure for a figure... esp elite...

[terraryzing]

This is my #1 hobby and I don't work (disabled. Long story) so I spend quite a bit of time on the internet checking out figures, reading every thread, etc. I also spend a ton of time checking out wrestling podcasts like The Art of Wrestling w/Colt Cabana, and I'm a member of f4wonline.com so I get a constant flow of audio nearly daily. When I'm not online I'm usually watching wrestling dvds, just started on the "Summer Of Punk" dvd from ROH, and the if the first match is any indication (he wrestled Austin Aries and won the ROH Title on what was supposed to be his last night, then turned heel) this is one HELL of a dvd. Plus I have 9 other new ROH dvds, just got Elim. Chmber 2012 and also collect UFC dvds too. So My hobby of wrestling is basically my life!

probably about 5 hrs a week. Most of it is spent on here and I try to go hunt 1-2 times a week when there are figures I want.
