Re: Insurance for your collection?
I think I would feel the same about losing my transformers as I would any other item of sentimental value: The money would be nice, but I would probably never again buy the things. My sentimental attachment to many of these figures is because they were mine when I was younger, and I'm seeking out others because I'm kind of a completist...but...if I had lost them all, I probably wouldn't start again. Just, too much to collect, and too little sentimental attachment to fiures that aren't really "mine".
Similarly, I think if you had some antique heirloom passed down through your family, and it was destroyed, you probably wouldn't buy another identical one, because it just doesn't have the same sentimental attachment.
