Noooo I don't want to start collecting something else! ;~;

[MonstarNomNom]

Well, for the most part MLPs have been my one and only collection, unless you want to count a few smaller, unintentional ones. lol I'm not sure if anyone here knows of it, but I grew up with a show called Hamtaro which originated in Japan and made it's way to the US. You can easily say I was obsessed and I still own the little playsets I had, as well as the games and a couple plushes. Well, I just found myself on eBay...looking at Hamtaro figures and dangerously close to buying and bidding. Why??? Whyyyyy?!  I love, love, love Hamtaro and just thinking of owning more figures and playsets makes me giddy. BUT, I have no room for them! I barely have room for a small portion of my pony collection. Not to mention the money, OH the money!

Please talk me off this cliff! D;

I told hubbs when I got the DS Elinor and Merida dolls that MLP is a gateway drug. These forums are a bad influence. 

While I collected Pokémon I only collected Pokémon and never even considered any other collections. Now I'm collecting MLP and Disney and I'm sure I'll find other things as well. Collecting is an addiction all on its own. Ha ha! You know, you could always get one or two little Hamtaro things at a time. I have a few Hello Kitty things myself, but I don't collect seriously. I just pick up little knicks and knacks when I happen upon something that isn't too expensive and that I think I could find space for.

Good lord. Hamtaro. Don't get me started about Hamtaro. I was there before I got into Strawberry Shortcake.

Memories... Stanman Incident... Must not remember...

If it helps tho, Bijou is reincarnated into Diamond Tiara. Thinking about that may help you hate Hamtaro. Or hate FIM. Or hate both. Or hate none. YMMV.

Personally, thinking about it just makes me extremely bitter and depressed. Bijou was a crush, and the reason, again, traces it's roots to Madeline. Said Stanman Incident... well, long story short, upset me, then I moved on to Strawberry Shortcake

Man, I was more naive back in '05. And no, I have no clear idea of where all my Hamtaro stuff went either.

HAMTARO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  

[MonstarNomNom]

Ahhhhhhhh!!! You guys talking me towards JUMPING not AWAY!! Hahaha 

Yurusumaji: It truly is! It's awful! lol  I will have to try that only getting a few things at a time :3 Luckily most of the stuff actually isn't too expensive on eBay :3 Not as much as I originally thought anyway. lol x'D

RAMChYLD: Oh. My. Gosh *3* I will GLADLY take those plushies off your hands if you don't want them/still have them! xDDD And I never really liked Bijou. She was my least favorite x3 Ahhh you even have Jingle! Waaaaaaant *3* That picture made it worse! lol x'D

kaoskat: I couldn't have said it better myself! lol

Buy yourself a Hamster cage and only collect enough Hamtaro stuff to fill it? I have collected hundreds of things since I was tiny, some collections have gone to be replaced by a million others. There is no hope for me. No room in our house either! I tell myself I am rescuing and researching toys for future generations...

Sorry   

And well, I'm pretty sure I still have them. Just can't remember where I put them. Could be in Long Term Storage at my grandparents' place, could be at the very back of one of my cupboards. Not sure. And well, I'm a packrat. Don't have the heart to part with them 

Forget my earlier sentence about picturing a Hamtaro-Bon-Bon hybrid. I managed to even gross myself out

Good suggestion! I'd highly recommend it!

I love that idea! Although I might just have to settle for a plastic bin. lol x'D I am doing some major cleaning out of my stuff so that means maybe I'll have more storage. lol And I love the rescusing toys for future generations! Brilliant! I'll have to start telling people that 

RAMchYLD: Well if you ever find them and decide to sell them you know who to go to! I would LOVE to have them!

Oh I remember Hamtaro! I used to watch the show but there was a game that I played as a emulator on the computer

:0 I want to play it on the computer! Do you remember which one it was? I want to play them but I can't because I not longer have a Gameboy Color and my DS that could play Advance games broke :<

Sadly I don't remember. You needed the game system emulator and the rom of the game... I think it was a GBA game though... and if I look to see if spriter's resource has the sprites of it, I could tell you

sd_dreamcrystal: Ah, I gotchya Maybe one of my brother's friends would know how to do it. I'm not exactly savvy when it comes to that kind of stuff. Haha

RAMchYLD: Well, considering I can't read Japanese it'd have to be the ones released in English! lol x'D I reeeaally want play Rainbow Rescue since I don't have it since it wasn't released in the US. Although if I could play Ham-Hams Unite, Ham-Ham Heartbreak , and Ham-Ham Games I would be so happy you have no idea! lol I could play them all day
And I totally bought Hi! Hamtaro when I saw it in Gamestop a while back, not realizing it was a game for 3 year olds. Haha xD I was so disappointed!
