I'm 21 and I really like trading cards and video game related toys.

Also, one thing lead too another over the last two years and I wound up collecting G4 My Little Pony merch....

I'm also starting to collect Nerf stuff when I see it(I think Zag rubbed off on me). Right now I just have a couple of the N-Strike Revolvers(I have a third I found caked with dirt in a ditch I'm going to try and clean up and fix for the hell of it) and a Recon CS-9.

Been meaning to post some pics for awhile. Since I have a whole room in my house devoted to my toy collection, I decided to snap a few pics this morning and share. My first love with toys is/was and always shall be GI Joe:

The 1983 HQ:

[img width=700 height=525]http://i1375.photobucket.com/albums/ag478/michaelrancourt/IMG_11711_zps5bc182e0.jpg[/img]

All of the 1983 figures (Well, what I could fit in the frame anyways):

[img width=700 height=525]http://i1375.photobucket.com/albums/ag478/michaelrancourt/IMG_11731_zps54042340.jpg[/img]

The ark is obviously from the Indiana Jones toyline

The 1984,85,86 shelf:

[img width=700 height=525]http://i1375.photobucket.com/albums/ag478/michaelrancourt/IMG_11741_zpse1db3f61.jpg[/img]

A couple complete Canadian variant playsets from 1986 and 1985 (respectively) with the box scene recreated:

I used to collect this kind of stuff. Maybe I'll have to dig them out and post here. I'm not sure I'm interested any more. Maybe I could pass along some stuff to you guys in sale/trade? I'll be right back...

I have 99% of the GI Joe stuff in those pictures. I am missing a few parts to the HQ and that bugs the poo out of me.

A stack of cash is right. Being a home-owner makes it kinda tough to round up a spare $1000+ to drop on an (almost 30 year old) toy playset. Felt like showing off more pics of the collection today. Todays focus, Transformers!:

Also, part of the fun of being a toy collector is recreating movie scenes. Like this:
