Toy Collectors?

I just found a new hobby!!!!

Toy Collecting

Just wondering if you collect toys. And what you think about toy collecting.

[The Metamorphosing Leon]

I used to collect both Star Wars and really any war related Micro Machines. They were my pastime before I could afford or was allowed to become a hardcore vidya gamer.

I'm not into collecting Toys but it certainly something that I could roll into.

I did however bought the 2 toys of the Small Soldiers movie, just because I liked that so much when I was younger.

I collect toys too.....my kids toys that litter my room and the living area. I collect them and sit them in a box never to be played with again after they have been warned for not cleaning up.

[NES_Rules]

I could definitely see myself getting into toy collecting especially 90's TMNT stuff, since I had a pretty sizable collection as a kid without even trying. But, I've got more than enough things to collect and not enough space already, so I try to stay away from buying toys (especially TMNT stuff because I know that would be too slippery of a slope for me).

Micro Machines rock.
I was never big on toys. I prefered books, movies, videogames, board games, tv to action figures and other such forms of toys.
The big exceptions being toy cars(and micro machines) and Legos.

Here is a neat website that has some pics of 70's toys.  http://www.plaidstallions.com/ There was a thread over at AA that had this link in it. I still collect a few odds and ends toys.  Mainly Hotwheels, Micro Machines, Little Pink Wrestling Figures (Forgot the name of them)

I will typically pick up random Atari and NES toys and other collectables to display in my game room, but I do specifically collect loose G.I. Joe action figures from '82-'87.  I have them displayed in my game room and need to update my photos.

I collect vintage GI Joe and Transformers. Modern stuff, I collect 3 3/4" Marvel and Star Wars figures. Lately, started collecting the new 6" Star Wars Black figures

[Dergatron9000]

I pick up loose action figures if I see em at garage sales. This thread makes me want to pull all my old military micromachines out of storage and stage wars lol

[Tynstar]

I have a lot of old 80's GI Joe stuff.

I'm known as a Nerf gun aficionado on this site, although I haven't added to my arsenal in a couple months. In fact, I've sold off a portion of it.

Here's what it looked like at its height:

I also used to collect Optimus Prime toys and just about every version of the Battleship game I'd find. I haven't added to either collection in months, either.

I know where I'm headed during the Nerf Zombie Apocalypse.

so much nerf

i think i'm one of the few people who never had any real interest in action figures as a kid, or many other toys for that matter. i mostly stuck with video games, and the only thing that really interested me much was LEGO and K'NEX, which i grew out of fairly completely no later than 12 or 13
