Many Of Us Are Collectors,

I collect stamps, 

Percival Lugue, a graphic artist from the Philippines, collects toys that are given away with fast food, over the years, he has collected new items from various fast food chains, like McDonald’s, Burger King and even the Philippines’ favourite brand, Jollibee,

Lugue has held the record for the largest collection of fast food toys since 2014, when his tally stood at around 10,000 unique items, but he has been busy consolidating his record ever since, and now he has more than 20,000 toys,

 

he admits that he did have some help from friends and family. Sometimes he would “guide” them toward helping him, by inviting them to have lunch at a fast food restaurant, and would manage to complete a whole set of toys in one sitting, “The toy is like a storyteller in itself,” Percival Lugue told Reuters. “For example, it gives me a glimpse of that particular period when I got it, the story of what’s going on, what are the incidents that are attached in the acquisition.” the graphic artist, who built his three-story house in Apalit, Pampanga Province, specifically to store his collection in, dreams of one day putting the toys on display for the public, or even open a small museum of sorts and give people a chance to “revisit their own childhood memories”, what an amazing collection, the fact that they are 'free' I guess would mean most people eventually would throw the toy away, making some of the ones in his collection exceedingly rare.
