Extreme Collectors ~ featuring a MLP collector
« on: September 23, 2013, 07:21:12 PM »
Let me start by saying that I apologize in advance if this is somewhere else on the arena, I did try searching several different ways prior to posting.

Anyways...

Did anyone else watch it on tv tonight on slice? If you did, is that person a member here? I thought that the collection appeared familiar based on the room and displays, but I could be wrong lol.
It made me wonder who has the biggest collection in the world, how much was spent to obtain all of it and what it's actually valued/appraised at.

I will say I definitely drooled over all of those MIB ponies, especially the babies :dribble:

It's because all those shows sensationalize the person to make them seem like they're insane and obsessed. Not like they're a person with a hobby.

It's not a "look how cool that is!" attitude, its more of a "what a freak! who would buy all that junk?!" attitude  :huh:

Yes that was me.
I do not believe it was the same people trolling around here looking for collectors

How do I know??

The host had to be convinced MLP were worth featuring! ;)
He thought the producers were joking when they told him they wanted to feature a collection of my little ponies

The show was extremely well done and featured ALL the collectors and collections in a POSITIVE light. It is NOTHING like the other ones that have been featured about collecting. (so get that out of your mind RIGHT NOW. It was NOT negative. It did NOT make ANY of us look "crazy" or "obsessive", I mean heck I know I am but I don't want it sensationalized for national television)

The point of this show was to highlight and celebrate ALL collectors weather they collected large things (like vintage cars) to small things that add up (like my little pony or snow globes)

You can catch episodes of the show here:

http://www.slice.ca/videocentre/video.html?ID=v#extremecollectors/video

They are working on getting it distributed in the USA, so right now only Canadians can watch the clip

They featured a few spots on my collection. Andrew added it up and he told me what the value was. Keep in mind, I removed a lot of what was in the room to fit in the camera equipment and there is TONS in boxes/not shown. They only evaluated what was out on display :)


The show was an amazing experience. I was so happy to of been a part of it and to of had such a great time too!! And the fact that they CELEBRATE collecting instead of, well, make fun of it....that made it all the better! :) <3
