What do you find the most frustrating about collecting

In my experience that isn't very typical. International postage usually costs more coming in... unless you are using a commercial shipper vs usps (ie: UPS and Fed Ex will be a lot more)

Got caught...

I hate when people know that 30 years of age and you still collect stupid stuff.

Just a moment ago my assistance accidentally open my box and found thundercat figurine and gave me a look of disapproval.

Sometime I have to wait until my GF go to sleep to sneak stuff into attic.
Very frustrating time indeed.

That sucks. There are definitely people who I'm comfortable having know / not know about my collecting. People at work are firmly in the "not know" category. Hope your assistant doesn't cause to much trouble for you.

Nah...not that suck...well..a little bit
I just wanna keep my remaining street cred intact that is haha.

Everyone in my workplace knows I play/collect PS3 games. I even unbox some in office once I get them. Usually everyone is curious and crowds around to see what's in the box. The LBP2 CE got the best reactions from the girls so far. "So cute", "Hey I want 1 of those"

Most of my coworkers are twice my age or older. Would be funny to have them crowd around to watch an unboxing though, lol!

The most annoying thing atm for me is trying to get anything imported from japan, ebay has a habbit of charging 2 - 4 times the rrp for any CE, or its sold out or the import methods and costs end up costing double the original value..

Is that the one that was given as a pre-order bonus by Play.com? About 6 months after the game came out and having asked them at least 10 times to send me my code but only receiving the automated "we are looking into it" sort of replies they finally sent me mine. I had no idea it was worth that much, if that's the right one.

It is now a sad fact because there are so many different download codes etc for the newly released games people are reselling them left right & centre. I just saw a DLC for Darksiders 2 end at $65,bloody ridiculous for something that was free to begin with

Another thing i find a pain at the moment is all the empty boxes. You put some things on display but you know you must keep the box in nice condition as well,so you have to find storage for all these as well. Heap big pain in the but for large console boxes or GOW Lancers,lol
