This
Easter, while children all over the world search for colorful eggs filled with candy,
toy collectors are engaging in a very different kind of hunt:
one that involves hiding their latest pick-ups and pre-orders from loved ones, financial advisors, and sometimes even themselves! ToyFarce investigated...
"
I used to hide chocolate eggs" said one longtime collector. "
Now, I hide the receipts from my toy hunts in old shoeboxes and label them 'Tax Stuff – Do Not Open'."
Another collector shared his expert tactic: "
I have a spreadsheet that lists everything I buy or pre-order as 'Office Supplies'. If anyone ever questions it, I say it's printer toner. Nobody wants to talk about printer toner."
As this phenomenon gains traction, the
Easter Bunny itself has expressed concern. In an exclusive interview with
ToyFarce, he said: "
I used to be the best at hiding things... Trees, bushes, backyard flowerbeds... I was the king! But these collectors? They’re hiding entire Hot Toys figures in their display, saying "This? No, it has always been there...". I can’t compete with that."
Psychologists are calling it "
Toy Pick-ups/Pre-order Concealment Syndrome" or
TPCS, a totally made-up condition where adult collectors expertly stash evidence of their purchases in increasingly creative ways, especially during gift-heavy holidays.
Despite the competitive tension, the
Easter Bunny remains hopeful: "
I might start hiding exclusive figures next year. You think kids go wild for candy? Wait till they find a Star Wars Celebration exclusive figure on their lawn."

Happy Easter, and good luck finding all your pick-ups/pre-orders before your significant other does!
