There is so much negativity in the world today, my mind set is if you an make a difference and raise a smile, then that's a plus point in life.

Even if it's just a little thing you do on the forum , then that's a start, there are tooo many things going on in the world that are negative, so anything you can do, no matter how small, if it raises a s smile, it's worth it in my book

In this collecting world there is so much going on where pricing drives people, you know what, if you have something in your collection, that's doesn't fit and another collector can benefit from it for their collection, then let it go. Life is too short, money's not the be all and end all smiling and feelin good is

Sorry if I'm coming over patronising that's not the reason for the post, feelgood is :D

Collecting MOC figures is giving me serious joy at the moment.

It's funny how I have resisted for YEARS, (having completed a loose collection back in the mid nineties!), but now with kids and the world being a bit all over the place, something as little as childhood memories is giving me just a bit of pleasure.

(I imagine this joy will fade as I head towards the more expensive figures!)

That's it in a nutshell, childhood memories making you feel good, you have to take the positives where you find them in life, it's different positives for different people, but believe me they are there! There is so much negativity in te world, it's up to yoou to find your positives, if that spills over and brings positivity to others, then that's a bonus and all good.

I'm lucky, have a great family which is the basis for verything for me. Try and do the best you c an, if that helps others, then great, that's my philoosophy ...believe me I m not trying to come over as all goody goody, just think that if we all look at ourselves first, do the best we can, then hey presto, there are more smiles out there, come on that can't be a bad thing, can it?

Any way hopefully not coming accross as patronising or cheesy just really. Fed up with all the crap in life and would like more smiles :D

Great post mate.

It's the way I try to live my life. If I can do something for someone that doesn't put me out much then I'm more than happy to do it. Knowing you've raised a smile or helped someone out is a great feeling, especially when you can see the gratitude on people's faces.

Many forget that great feeling you have when you gain something for the collection is no better that the glowing feeling you get inside knowing you have made someone else happy, I try my best to make someone smile each & every day,if you achieve that it was a good day, it's not SW related but just had a nice message of a vape friend who I chat to all the time thanking me for the below which she sent an image back of, it's was obvious she was really happy which made my day.

It's not difficult, just remember - it's nice to nice for no other reason.

Great post -

Been collecting for years and have tracked down many many items that I love but looking at my collection it's the history/interaction with other collectors that makes me smile. So many happy memories that easily drown out all the stupid stuff that's going on in the world. Some seriously top blokes on this forum 8)
