It's not just the spouse as noted. Most people are shocked and not in a good way to learn what these things cost, and, frankly, don't look at you as some type of sane person for spending XYZ on a collection. It's not their thing, and therefor, don't see the value, or even find having such a collection/indulgence childish.
I'm not embarrassed for collecting these things or even reading comics, but don't feel the need to divulge the full details to everyone I encounter either.

I'm practically a n00b so it's not an issue.
She has her money and I have mine.
Also, it's really nice too see that profile pic, Hanky.
It's been a while.

Damn, I was really hoping we could see who voted for what
My fiancé knows a little bit more about the cost of statues. Since being together, he has purchased the PCS 1:4 She-Ra and the Harley Quin B&W for me as gifts. He was amazed at the cost of She-Ra, and she's on the "cheaper" end of the prices.
However, he has no idea the cost of a XM or SS PF. I cover the costs of those, save in advance, and have no intention of telling him. And since I don't lie about it, it's kinda true. If he asks I would tell him
Statues are my splurge (along with shoes). His addiction is board games which seems to be getting just as expensive as statues. A few months ago he backed Kingdom Death: Monster 1.5 on kickstarter for a whopping $750.00.

When engagement ring conversations start to become prominent, clearly there will be a large gap in my collecting.

Board games?! He's a dork!
Kidding. I just wanted to be one of those geeks that judges other geeks hobbies for a second.

Well to be fair, their wives lie to them when they say "they are going out with the girls" when they are really hooking up with their boyfriend.
It's a wash.

I love these threads.
Looking forward to 20+ pages of people projecting their personal circumstances onto the world and calling that reality.
Don't disappoint me, Statueforum.

My partner knows how expensive these things are and he doesn't care, so long as he doesn't have to pay for any of them.
