I find collecting TF's a very expensive hobby so I don't venture outside of it much. however I do like the Final Fantasy play arts figures and have 2 of them at the moment (cloud and sephiroth) and I heard from Tekka that the Turks are comming out soon so I may start collecting them.

Other than Transformers, I collect Power Rangers stuff (I have a customized Dragonzord Morpher, some old Zords, and my favorite - Auto-Morphin' figures(as well as new stuff)) and the 25th Anniversary G.I. Joes. Strange for me though, I've decided to keep the 'Joes MOSC, so I'm tempted to buy a second of each figure :grin:

I'm an overall toy nut, and having been born in 1974, I was lucky to be young enough at the time of the heyday of cartoon/toy tie-ins... the 1980's!

Subsequently, as an adult, I find myself blowing all of my cash on the following toy lines, new and old:

TF's (obviously)
Star Wars
GI Joe
M.A.S.K.
He-Man
Thundercats
Micronauts
Sectaurs
Visionaries
Card sets like wacky packages and garbage pail kids
old video game toys... pac-man, donkey kong, etc.

and then there's the NEW toy lines....

Simpsons (any line)
DC and Marvel figs, new and old (love my 1980's Plasticman fig!)
McFarlane toys (especially the TV and entertainment figs: Elvis, bob & doug mackenzie, lost, etc.)
Lord of the Rings

Yes, I'm broke. But my office looks like a toys R us threw up in there and I like it that way!

I kinda like Jazware's Mortal Kombat Deception & Shoalin Monks figures

by **olokin** » Thu Nov 15, 2007 10:22 am

I'm into Marvel Legends, especially the BAFs.

by **microclone** » Thu Nov 15, 2007 4:02 pm

microman, micronauts, diaclone, henshin cyborg.

Interestingly henshin cyborg became microman (and 'nauts in the west) and microman plus diaclone formed the first transformers. a big takara fan by default, i never knew the lines were related until i was an adult. plus the occasional SW toy i like.

However,...since my collection of Marvel Legends X-Men was stolen 2 weeks ago...I'm getting out of them entirely. I just do not have the desire to hunt down every damn X-Men figure again. Too much work. I have nearly every single ML...so with much of the ML universe left to sack, a lot of my really good figures should go on eBay soon.

Damn dude, what happened?!?! That totally sucks. Did you lose anything else?

And just for the record, I have proof of where I was that night

.

To answer the question at hand, anything that peaks my interest. Mostly TF's, but the occasional anything and everything else.

And Disney/Pixar Cars characters, as my 3 year old loves the movie, and they are everywhere, so it's fun to hunt for the harder to find ones.

Someone broke in and took everything of value from my apartment.

Short story, a tale as old as time.

But, we're cool, unharmed, TFs are still there (every one), insurance check should becoming soon, and I am free of several burdens of possession. (For better or worse)

Haven't you managed to find anything mate? I woulda thought the dumb apes'dve taken the stuff to a pawn shop or put em up on ebay?

I don't collect anything else toy-wise. I am a HUGE Nintendo fan though.

by **Grahf** » Thu Nov 15, 2007 4:26 pm

Other than Transformers, I mainly collect anything Evangelion. I have a ton of older Spawn and other McFarlane stuff. Ever so often I'll pick up other random anime things. I'm still trying to hunt down the armor parts for the original Robotech masterpiece collection. I might start picking up various McFarlane lines now that I know they are less prone to breaking.

I used to collect Xmen and Spider Man figures, but I just shipped them all off to BBTS.

Nah man.

It appears to be a semi-professional burglary team.

No prints, no witnesses, no nothing.

These cases almost never get solved.

I used to buy actual fossils, and I have a complete dinosaur skeleton, but I've since heard from paleontologists just how bad an effect fossil poaching is having on the field. Out in Mongolia, they've found some perfectly preserved skeletons that've had the teeth and claws carved out by poachers looking for a quick buck, effectively neutering unique specimens. Other areas have stopped allowing access to paleontologists, and still other areas have been stripped clean.

Wow. I didn't know that there was a problem with fossil poaching. I have a few fossils like part of a sea bed that has little pieces of bones imbedded in it as well as a single trilobite. I also have a pretty big ammonite. It's a nice one, but not museum grade. Are those types bad to get too? I don't want to be part of the problem.

I like castings. I have a Velocirapter claw that is a casting. I would love a Dire Wolf skull.

Now to make this on topic!

I collect

Video Games
My Little Pony
Anime figures
Books
Rocks and Minerals
and various toys

And of course Transformers.

by **Noshrok Grimskull** » Thu Nov 15, 2007 5:44 pm

Besides Transformers, I also collect M.A.S.K. toys, Star Wars figures and Warhammer 40k Orks.

by **Rijie** » Thu Nov 15, 2007 6:21 pm

I also collect Marvel Legends and Icons, Street Fighter, GI Joe Sigma 6 and 25th Ann., some others like Legendary Comic Book Heroes, Mortal Kombat Ninjas, DC Superheroes, the occasional Star Wars.

Im with you on this one. I still collect GI Joe, Legos sometimes (my gf liked building the batman sets) And I still pick up cool star wars stuff every know and then.

I loved he-man and picked up the new versions some years ago. Ninja Turtles are also a fav that wont ever die.

I also have a collection of diecast F150's from 1997 - present. vary from 1/64 on up. I also collect sports cards (baseball, football, hockey, basketball, some boxing, some nascar). Having 3 different collections kinda limits me to a little here a little there of each but I enjoy all 3.

Also from looking at the pics of other peoples collections looks like those book shelves from Wally World are poular.

Need to pick some more up myself.

other than my TF collection, I also collect

rocks and minerals
fossils
seashells
educational books

I also have a chondrite meteorite that is about 25 million years old. Chondrite means that it is made of iron.

by **Bumblebee-otch** » Thu Nov 15, 2007 10:29 pm

i mostly buy comic book figures, like marvel legends and DC direct.

i've also recently started buying star wars toys again, but i don't know how much longer i will do that, because i've already missed out on a lot of the ones i want.(in the TAC series)

How heavy is that?

I also collect dust, or more to the pint, my toys on display collect dust. However, I guess that makes it their hobby! :grin:

I collect Transformers, G.I. Joe, Star Wars, Marvel Legends, DC Superheroes and other random goodness like Mortal Kombat and such.

by **Dagon** » Fri Nov 16, 2007 10:58 am

Star Wars figures and vehicles, Legos from time to time, and McFarlane and McFarlane-esque figures. Random monster sci/fi movie tidbits if or when I can ever find them.
