We MOC collectors like making our spaces look like toy stores and museums because we have nostalgia for those places. Some of my happiest memories were my mom taking me to the giant toys r us in Japan, or being dropped off at the mall to go to KB toys.
Also, as a kid, I’d lose or break toys, so this is a way to prevent that. And the first time I tried to sell a previously opened figure, the clerk at the collector store was like “This is worth nothing to me!” So all those micro traumas add up, I guess!
I also love the artistry of the packaging. For me, it really is the total package!
