I voted 3-5 years as that's how long I've been collecting seriously, but I've been buying games, guides and the odd figure for over 15 years I would say.

Since 2007 when I decided needed every rpg from the PS1 forward. It has only expanded from there.

Wow had no idea some of the people on here have been collecting so long

I suspected gav had been a collector for a long while but that is just incredible

Casually for about 2 years, increasingly it got more serious, there's no helping me now. All in all maybe 4 years?

Started 10 years ago, but it wasn't until the last 6 years (especially 2 years ago) that I've actively collected items.

Do you remember the console you were on at the time for instance?

Well you could say I started collecting since I got hooked on computers and gaming in general, I was eight at the time and it all started with the Commodore 64. I basically haven't stopped since.

I'm 35, so that makes it 27 years! Holy shit, didn't think it was that long, haha.
