This kind of thing blows my mind. When your life consists of carefully preserving little plastic figurines and living with your mother, there's already a problem.

When Mother removes that constancy from your world... well... We all go a little mad some times.

I used to have every TMNT action figure, vehicle, Battle Dome. One day I went looking for them and my mom said, "oh I gave those toys to my friends son." I still haven't forgiven her for that.

She probably got tired of telling him to pick his toys up for the last 25 years. Rare toy or not, the guy is an asshole with no repsect for his elders and I hope his mom doesnt let him move back in when they rebuild the house.

I know there's no justifying for what the guy did, but if I'm not mistaken, those where GUNPLAS, not "action figures"... which means they were all artisanally hand assembled and probably painted too.
So it's NOT about some dumb collection the guy spend some bucks on, but rather a hobby that probably cost him tons of work and money.
So instead of posting prejudicial comments, maybe some of you should think how you would react if someone took something very precious to you, which you spent hours making, and just tossed it out as if it was nothing.
People seem to think they are so fucking superior to the guy only because he lives with his mother and collects gunplas...

@Mr_Biggles: I am right there with you buddy! Japan is the only place on this planet I fantasize about traveling to. Until I have the balls to get a Passport and get rid of the fear of huge machines that really shouldn't be able to be in the air, I will go and stare at the hottest/cutest women in the world. I think I will be taking my girlfriend with me to do some staring as well.

@Dr. Evil Genius: Think of it this way: You are currently sitting on hunk of molten rock, orbiting a giant fusion furnace in a galaxy that is (most likely) being slowly swallowed up by a super-massive black hole. And for all we know, that black hole is in free-fall, and there may be a bottom to the universe that we are approaching at relativistic speed. The Earth has undergone dozens, if not hundreds of mass-extinction events since life began. And we don't know when the next polar inversion/massive meteor strike/supervolcano will occur.

Now, with that in mind, consider this: When moving through any fluid medium like air or water, the shape of the object may generate a pressure differential. We have studied those shapes for hundreds of years and found that when the bottom part is flat, and the top part is a snaped with a sudden curve at the front, and a gradually decreasing angle at the back, the air going under the object moves very fast, maintaining a high-pressure, and the air moving over the top of the object slows way down before gradually speeding back up, creating an area of much lower pressure. The pressure of the air seeks to equalize, and pushes up on the bottom surface. The faster you go, the higher the pressure, and the more lift you get.

Statistically speaking, flying is safer than staying on the ground.

The only time I can remember nearly loosing it was when I got back from a week-long school trip and found that my parents had painted my shelves.

However, they didn't let the paint dry long enough before putting the books back on and ruined quite a few rare editions since they were stuck to the shelf (including an early edition of Dune) as well as my micromachine display.

Oh and they unintentionally dripped paint into my CRT.

@green or blue: My mom told me she was selling all my comics when I was 13. Then she came back with them an hour later after I'd resigned myself to losing them.
She said something like 'I hope you learned a lesson'.

@Steve Lessard Jr: Let's see... take something that you hold in high-regard - your most treasured belonging and say... your significant vagina takes it upon herself to just throw your shit out. PLEASE tell me you're gonna be happy about it. Everyone wants to criticize others over what is important to THEM. I think his reaction was inappropriate but have your girlfriend get your car towed to the Chop Shop and we'll see how YOU react.
