Nostalgia. It's not uncommon for adults to collect toys or play video games from their childhood. What is uncommon is Chris' extreme fascination and addiction to purchasing toys that often take priority over everything else. Chris desperately wants to revert back to his childhood, the best time of his life when he had a certain degree of normality, health and happiness.

Chris and Barb alike lack feelings of happiness and fulfillment achieved through accomplishments in their lives. Both are hoarders that fill that void with the momentary high they get after purchasing something. Those good feelings soon wear off and their new possessions just become another remnant of the hoard.

Like most addictions, it's a temporary remedy to cope with more deep-seated issues. Unfortunately, often at the price of long term health.

Hard core collectors are a weird breed in ways that aren't the same as Chris. For example, Chris doesn't seem to have much interest in the rarity or condition of his things, which are really the only things hard collectors are interested in. Chris wants to use them, and it would be anathema for him to leave something unopened in a box.

Most other people who have nostalgic stuff have a very limited amount of things. Maybe one old console they like or a small shelf of figurines.

So Chris doesn't have the same motivation as a collector, but the quantity, as well as the share of his time and income devoted to it suggests he is one.

It seems like a type of hoarding more than anything. It borders on an obsession with simply the quantity of objects, within some parameters.

Yeah, here's to people claiming Chris will be moving out and downsizing after Barb dies.

Even if Chris man up and sold/throw away most of his junk, I don't think there will be landlords around the area that is willing to rent a decent apartment or room to Chris. Look at what happened to the rental house during the House Fire saga. The place is trashed beyond recognition. Landlords talk, so I think the Chandlers might be kinda banned from the area.

Funko Pops look stupid with those beady eyes. I dunno why people are so into them. They're just like Amiibos, a stupid fad that Chris won't be into anymore when the fad dies. And the money will still be wasted.

Edit: Oh guess what, I think I've noticed that he has the Pony one twice. One to be let out of its box, and the other to stay in the box.

Kinda redundant because I thought the entire point of these toys were to keep in the box for collectability.

He's got a few different MLP ones, I could see Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash chase variants in box and Princess Celestia out of box in one of the new photos.

He usually immediately destroys any collectibility of anything he gets by taking it out of the box, modifying it in weird ways, and otherwise doing autistic shit to it. He can get away with this to some degree because some moron will buy it just for it being from Chris whenever it comes time to sell it to buy more autism hoard material.

Some people will buy out of box shit, it just depends what it is really.

I've seen out of box vintage My Little Ponies and old (complete) Barbie dolls sell.

They have to be rare or particularly beloved. Some things are rare enough that finding them still in the box would be virtually impossible, like Kenner's original Millennium Falcon from 1979. . .which is worth a few grand if it's never been opened and is in the original box. And about $40 if it has unless it's in absolutely perfect condition.

Also ponyfags will buy anything.

"Alright, everyone! Here’s something memetastic that would be awesome to own. One individual’s trash is another person’s treasure, so I’m offering a few empty Fanta Orange cans with my autograph on them. NOTE: each can will be thoroughly rinsed out and dried before being autographed. And only twelve cans will be available at this time. And each can will be enclosed in a plastic box container, as shown in the photos."

Nice
