toa grimlock Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 The title is pretty self explanatory. Personally I collect Transformers pretty hard cord, I buy just about any piece I can find. what about you guys (and gals)? Quote "When life gives you lemons.... Make orange soda!"

Voltex Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 I never really collected anything very seriously other than Bionicle - I know that I enjoyed both Beyblades and Yugioh as a kid, but only for a few years (even if I pull out my Yugioh stuff from time to time just to look at it). Within the past few weeks, however, I have started collecting the new Amiibo figures, with the intent of collecting every single Smash Bros. figure - so I guess you could say that I collect those, since I'll undoubtedly pick some non-Smash ones up as well if they look cool. 1 Quote JOIN AETHERGARDE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dotcom Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Before they started disappearing from the US, I was pretty big on collecting Ben 10 toys. Shame that my favorite series was the one whose toys died.... I also buy some japanese figures here and there, mostly figmas from my favorite japanese animes. Monogatari, Madoka...also Kamen Rider Ryuki. Anything else.....hm. I don't think so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laughing Man Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 I used to be pretty big into collecting Star Wars figures. amassed a collection of over a thousand before I lost interest a few years back. also racked up a sizeable collection of DC and Marvel figures around that time, too. I don't really buy toys and such anymore, Lego or otherwise - the vast majority of my spendable money goes to music nowadays - but I do still buy figures here and there based on shows, movies, and games I like. I have a small collection of NECA Terminator figures, some Nintendo stuff, some Star Trek, a few Halo figures, some of NECA's Valve (namely TF2 and Portal) figures, a bunch of the old 80s Ninja Turtles, things like that. even that I've really slowed down on, though, and I think the only figures I've bought within the past year were the Breaking Bad Heisenberg figure and secondhand late-90s McFarlane figures of Mulder and Scully from The X-Files.

The 1st Shadow Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Not really. LEGO's really the only cool one out there. I used to collect Hot Wheels, though.

Ektris Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Who, me? No, I don't think I collect a lot. ~|ET|~ 2 Quote E-T... Phone home. "He walks among us, but he is not one of us." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angel Beat Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 I used to collect Transformers, but I pretty much stopped when it turned out that the prices of the Age of Extinction figures had actually jumped size classes. Deluxe toys have Voyager prices now, etc. I collect MLP figures now, though. Much cheaper.

LegoSWfan Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Yes, The Covenant is invading the kitchen and the UNSC is hoplessly trying to hold them off , there are transformers duking it out on the coffee table and animals on the shelves.

Nescent Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Not anymore, but I was a Hot Wheels fanatic for about a year as a kid. Then the Phantoka came out, and I sold all of my cars on the school bus for 25 cents each to buy a few sets. It's not a toy line, but I also collected business cards back when my family traveled a lot. I've got a stack of them that's like 3 inches thick, with no duplicates. Who, me? No, I don't think I collect a lot.~|ET|~ Dang, nice collections! Seems like you don't have much space left for Bionicle though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharnak the Bohrok Lord Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I used to collect transformers. The last toy I got was Generations Shockwave. Oddly enough most of them are Deceptions.

Art Vandelay Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Hot Wheels AcceleRacers / Highway 35 cars, for me. They had a really fantastic movie series for the line as well, which initially got me interested in them. I would highly recommend watching it to anyone who hasn't seen them before. It's my other main toy related hobby aside from BIONICLE. I actually run the last remaining active forum dedicated to the series, the AccelePedia. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewa0111 Nuva Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Other than BIONICLE (and LEGO in general to a lesser extent), the only things I collect are Pokemon cards (dunno if those really count as toys though) and the 1990s-era Star Wars Power Of The Force line. I had a bunch of those as a kid and recently started trying to round out my collection. Lewa0111 Nuva Quote My Script Comedies: | The Nuva Inn Remake | Ask Matau!

The Hip Historian Iaredios Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I used to collect Star Wars figures, and recently I have been planning to get a couple of DC Comics Collectors figures. They may be action figures, but they are not meant to be played with, but rather be posed and left alone for decorations (I have read too many parental complaints in the Amazon Review section about them giving children such collectibles xD ). "I gave little Timmy this figure for his B-Day, and after 15 minutes of playing with it the toy began to fall apart! I want my refund!" *pinches nose and sighs* Quote A RUDE AWAKENING - A Spherus Magna redo | Tzais-Kuluu | Pushing Back The Tide | Last Words | Black Coronation | Blue Man Bound | Visions of Thasos ن We are all but grey specks in a dark complex before a single white light Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vorahk1Panrahk2 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 When I was a kid I collected Hot Wheels and had lots of Dinosaur toys, but now they've all been boxed up and set aside for donation of some sort. Now, though, I pretty much limit myself to LEGO. I collect other things, like rocks and small puzzle games, but no real toy line products. That said, Disney Infinity figures are very, very enticing... but I've held them off so far. Quote BZPRPG Profiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobber Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I have a couple of Lady Death figures, and I'm trying to save for a Vampirella and a Playarts Kai Quiet figure that's coming in May. Oh, and I plan on getting all the Street Fighter 5 figures once they're released as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hasreadit Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I have some Naruto, Transformers, and Gundam figures, or models in the Gundam'a case, but those all have mainly been stop gaps for Bionicles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prowl Nightwolf Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Hmm let's see, Other than the few Lego sets I have collected what do I have enough of to be considered a collection? Well I have a 10+ gallon tub of Skylanders figures, does that count? One thing I know for sure is my collection of Transformers. While not as hardcore as others amassing every figure or product to date I do have what could be called several thousand in cost in this department. The Animorphs series of books by KA Applegate. While I don't own all of them yet to day I am still working on it. I do have a smaller tub of mixed Pokemon, Yugioh, and Digimon figures stashed under my bed. I do collect Dragons as well and have a cabinet dedicated to them. I even own a Jade Dragon my father sent me. You know I think that is about it for my collections at this time.

Blastcage Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I collect Masterpiece Transformers, but those aren't really toys as much as they're high-end figures. Love 'em to death! Quote @THE_Blastcage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prowl Nightwolf Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I've not managed to get any of the Masterpiece figures to date. I think my oldest figure that I have had the longest is my Machine Wars Prime. He is missing some parts like missiles but otherwise in really good condition.

Jobber Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 (edited) I forgot to mention that I got a single Lego Architecture set on my lowest shelf. After getting one of 'em...I'm a bit disappointed for what's it worth at the price--probably my last Architecture set from the line.I'm actively searching for new things to search on Amazon.
