I have an inkling of Power Rangers merchandise: Retrofire Zeo Megazord, US Samurai Megazord and Battlewing. Only missing the squid and lobster. I'm also fascinated by trinkets from toy dispensers. On my wife's side, it's My Little Pony and Voltron.

My collection is almost all Transformers. I do have a couple other things.

I have my GI Joes from when I was a kid.
Classics He-Man/Battle Cat, Skeletor/Panthor
A vintage Castle Greyskull with Talon Fighter and Snake Mountain
A vintage Voltron
A Darth Vader light saber

Basically a representation of all of the stuff I loved as a kid.

I'll grab the occasional monster/alien/robot thing that catches my interest, but I don't really "follow" any other lines.

I'm collecting the Eaglemoss Star Trek Starships, FFG's X-Wing miniatures, the SH Figuarts MM Power Rangers w/Legacy Zords, and a smattering of Damashii Gundam Figures.

*in retrospect, this post is was longer that it had to be*

when i was a child, TF's turtles and spiderman toys ruled my life. teenager, i began collecting comics. early adulthood i began seriously collecting TF's, which early 20's shifted to seriously collecting comics. (im now 30)

up until about a year ago when i started losing interest in my comics. i collected everything marvel and dabbling here and there in other publishers. and when i say everything, i mean everything. all marvel titles, all variants. its a horrendously expensive hobby.

i never "quit" collecting TF's. i always bought things here and there, but nothing serious. comics werent scratching the itch i guess, and hastak and 3P's started doing amazing things. so i started gravitating back to TF's. now im back in pretty heavy.

as of today, Tf's rule my life. i collect only a select amount of marvel titles. although i guess its a part of my comics, but i have a huge collection of hardcover trades. and i have quite an extensive movie collection, i love physical formats and will buy them as long as they still exist (and for highly collectible movie things, check out steelbooks). and i have a few statues.

by the numbers (roughly)... 9700 comics, 2000 dvd/blurays, 1000 TF's, 500 HC's, and a dozen statues. which is all pretty terrifying now that i think about it.

This is all I have right now!

And these ones just arrived in the mail yesterday!

I'm really into action figures in general. If something I like has an action figure I'll try to get it. It's mostly super heroes and comic book stuff like Marvel Legends, but I've got several miscellaneous figures. Like Dracula, Boba Fett, the Spider Gremlin, Aliens, and American McGee's Alice to name a few.

Hey y'all,

Still sort of new around here. this is the first time I've ventured outside of the "Official Side". This is a nice little thread. Refreshing to talk about the other things we like.

I just came off a Lego LOTR and Hobbit binge. Really kind of the best toys from that movie license.

I have been collecting TF's since Beast Wars, but also have all my OGs from childhood.
Also have a decent amount of Microman. I like anything Takara. Have some Diagunder, and Webdiver.

I had been collecting Star Wars since 77, but fell off around the time of the Clone Wars CG cartoon. Still love it, just have enough. Nervous about the coming trilogy. I think I'd rather start spending the money on 3P TF's.

I have a pretty well rounded collection of Bandai robots, but haven't dabbled in that for a while.

I also have a large collection of Playmobil Knights and Fantasy. I love these toys because they are the only toys not supported by licensing. Only the imagination. They some how magically filled the void after beating Zelda Ocarina of Time, that couldn't even be filled by other Zelda games.

Somebody recently asked me, if money were no object, what would you collect?
My answer:
Antique carousel animals & Frank Frazzeta paintings

Man, if money weren't an issue I would collect things like old typewriters, 1950's era sci-fi space ships and robots, and really old maps that I'd have framed, or even videogame overworld maps.

holy... if money were no object? thats a damn good question.

i would recreate the G1 (S1)cast of autobots, as actual vehicles. so id have a peterbuilt, couple lambos, a porsche, couple of those vans, ect. then all professionally painted to look exactly like they did in the toon, symbols and all. and if you think about it, the decepticons wouldnt be that hard aside from the seekers. but if moneys no object, why not a trio of F-15's am i right? :lol:

I was pricing 84 - 86 Datsun Zs the other day online.

If money were no object, I would own a lot of very expensive vintage cars and probably quite a few more guitars. While we are at it, I would collect houses and property as well.
