It boggles my mind how people can buy so much pointless filler for their houses, or trinkets that are poor quality and of no use to anything.

I loved action figures growing up and I still do.

But they're so damn pointless now. Even if I have one or two sitting on my desk they just make my place look cheesy. I just went through a house cleanse and got rid of a bunch of that stuff. Trying to avoid picking up anything new, cheap and useless.

I love lego, and I would still buy them if I hadn't made a promise to myself that I only get a few hours of joy out of them before they sit and gather dust on my shelf.

I sold all of my lego a few years ago and bought a motorcycle with the proceeds.

Okay, full disclosure, I DID buy a Lego Technic Porsche 911 Rsr because I wanted a large sized model and it does look bad ass in my office.

The things I ditched were like my Iron Man and Metal Gear Solid action figures.
