00:05.517 --> 00:08.267
(stirring music)

01:07.960 --> 01:11.127
(light sabers swoosh)

01:21.240 --> 01:25.530
- How and when I started
collecting, as far back

01:25.530 --> 01:28.740
as I can remember, when I was a kid,

01:28.740 --> 01:33.287
you know, the He-man figures,
you know, the spider man

01:33.287 --> 01:35.320
and things like that.

01:35.320 --> 01:38.308
But, this particular size
which you see around me

01:38.308 --> 01:40.965
is called one sixth scale.

01:40.965 --> 01:45.965
And back in 2010 when I
first retired from the navy,

01:46.600 --> 01:48.740
you know, kind of a gift to myself,

01:48.740 --> 01:51.293
I bought my first figure,
which was Blade up there.

01:52.460 --> 01:55.110
And was just blown away by that.

01:55.110 --> 01:56.930
So every since 2010

01:56.930 --> 02:00.543
and it's just got out of
control after that, so.

02:01.940 --> 02:04.040
I would say the majority as you can see,

02:04.040 --> 02:06.770
I'm a huge Star Wars fan, so the majority

02:06.770 --> 02:08.403
of it is Star Wars.

02:09.440 --> 02:12.913
But, you know, like I said
everything is just so amazing.

02:14.820 --> 02:16.858
I do try to keep it organized.

02:16.858 --> 02:17.691
(chuckles)

02:17.691 --> 02:21.490
I've got the DC over here,
some movie stuff over here,

02:21.490 --> 02:24.043
some comic stuff, and Marvel in the back.

02:27.020 --> 02:30.950
But I think what stands out,
mine stands out from the rest,

02:30.950 --> 02:32.470
is I keep it at work.

02:32.470 --> 02:34.150
My philosophy is, you know,

02:34.150 --> 02:37.500
you spend most of your
day at work anyways,

02:37.500 --> 02:38.910
you might as well make it comfortable.

02:38.910 --> 02:40.680
You might as well make it fun.

02:40.680 --> 02:43.640
During the navy, you know,
you're constantly moving,

02:43.640 --> 02:46.060
you're constantly traveling.

02:46.060 --> 02:50.010
It's kinda hard to have
something on this scale

02:50.010 --> 02:53.070
in Iraq or in a berthing area.

02:53.070 --> 02:55.510
But, you know, now that
I'm here at F of FC,

02:55.510 --> 02:58.890
I've got this amazing office to display

02:58.890 --> 03:00.873
the amazing collection.

03:01.998 --> 03:04.880
You know, we have a lot of counselors,

03:04.880 --> 03:08.490
and counseling going on, on this side,

03:08.490 --> 03:11.943
and my office is right before the exit,

03:12.840 --> 03:17.840
so like a lot of clients,
they'll just stop in awe,

03:19.380 --> 03:22.260
and just be like, Oh my God!

03:22.260 --> 03:25.990
Naturally, they wanna come
in and I've had counselors

03:25.990 --> 03:29.690
even tell me, you know,
comment, like what did you say

03:29.690 --> 03:30.850
to that person?

03:30.850 --> 03:33.550
That's the most I've
ever heard them speak.

03:33.550 --> 03:37.900
In a way it's almost an
extension of the counseling

03:37.900 --> 03:38.803
if you will.

03:40.300 --> 03:45.300
Like I said, my very first
piece was the Blade, up there.

03:45.450 --> 03:47.820
Still my favorite piece.

03:47.820 --> 03:51.573
Love Wesley Snipes, just a huge Blade fan.

03:53.790 --> 03:55.790
Wish list item?

03:55.790 --> 03:59.190
So I'm really looking
forward to the older lines,

03:59.190 --> 04:01.533
you know, the original Star Wars stuff.

04:03.160 --> 04:06.430
The best part of that, of
the collecting, I think,

04:06.430 --> 04:11.243
is meeting fellow geeks, who, you know,

04:11.243 --> 04:13.640
people who are just into
the same type of stuff

04:13.640 --> 04:14.713
that I am, so.

04:15.740 --> 04:17.340
Hello, my name is Randy

04:17.340 --> 04:19.240
and I am addicted to 1/6th collecting.

04:20.292 --> 04:23.042
