Since having to take my collection home from my work cubicle, it was relegated to the basement in storage. My wife did not like my GI Joes and did not want to see them. However since being featured on CNN.com earlier my wife has really opened up and even helped me amass a cool Joe collection.

She understood that I enjoyed collecting GI Joes because I wasn't as fortunate as a child to get all the figures and vehicles I am able to get now.

Since we had an extra bedroom, she helped me install shelves and hang my figures and display vehicles.

There are times she still struggles with my hobby, buying two figures for example is something she doesn't understand. I'm sure you fellow collectors know, you keep one in the package, and one to open to play with, I mean to display.
