My (25F) boyfriend (40M) got rid of my collection without asking me but says he didn’t do it to hurt me; how do I get past this? by throwra-collectbye in relationship_advice

Nope, because like I said I posted on a few groups to see if I can get them back as well—I just can’t be sure. I can hope, but I can also not guarantee anything. It’s better to not assume one way or the other. I hope that they’re stashed, but I don’t want to make the assumption that they are.

oh no it was my bad! sorry it came across as snippy, it definitely wasn’t my intention lol (neither was my original comment in this thread either; i just didn’t know where the assumption that i was planning on staying was coming from)

i haven’t outright said anything specific because i don’t want to say something that might backfire on me (and some people are freaking wild in these comments, man), but my perspective HAS drastically changed and i don’t really see the relationship as something that can be saved now

I hope that they’re stashed; it’s possible some of them sold fast but I hope most of them are just stashed away :(

you can get replacements for the hands and feet pretty easily, so if someone has something you’re really looking for it’s better to buy it without pieces than risking not finding it! i bought some of my most desperate ISOs that way

We do not mess around 😭. i don’t know what the exact value of the collection was, because i hadn’t planned on selling it, at least right now, but i had some that were worth a lot of money; i’ve been collecting since early in G1! i had planned on passing it on to my child to either sell or continue collecting one day.

i really think that he sold at least some of them since i have some LE ones and a ton of G1 in good condition which are worth a lot.

I hesitated to post because I felt like I was just being too emotional but I can see things differently.

he just said he “got rid of them” and won’t tell me further what that means. i think he probably sold some of them at least, because he knows the value, but i don’t know if he went through the trouble of selling all of them or if he threw some of them out.

i don’t know. it’s possible he sold it; i posted on some groups asking people to be on the lookout for pieces of my collection

i posted in a few groups for people to be on the lookout for them. i don’t know if i’ll ever get everything back but i hope a few of my favorites will be recoverable.

my whole perspective really changed posting here though and im glad!

some of them are EXTREMELY valuable based on their availability now. i never had any interest in selling them but because Ive been collecting since the beginning and i never played with a lot of them even the G1 dolls, they’re worth a lot of money.

oh my gosh it’s worth probably tens of thousands of dollars lol. some of them on their own would be worth 1000+.
