So I buy toys :)

Too fuckin cute!

I'm a big Geek as well - I collect alot of the SideShow Toys as well as the Spawn stuff. It's cool - yeah I know I don't get laid much - but at least I have my toys

wow thats some pricy stuff you got there, I watched at Disney Paris at some its easy to spend a few k... some are amazing though

You guys have gotta watch, 'b40 Yr. Old Virgin'!!!! You will love it! LOL

that's a very nice toys, congrats on your collections

I collect Star Wars toys, mostly the old ones from the 70's and 80's.

Whoa... Quite the collection there.

Oh if you collected He Man you have a very valuable collection! I was too old for He Man. Kids who were and collected them were smart!

There are guys who will sell you their first born child for a He Man toy set.

You should take pics of ALL your collections for insurance purposes. If your collection is worth $1,000 or more, it's wise to insure it. If I shot video of every toy I've bought over the past 6 years I would have more video than the Star Wars movies.

Yet, because the collection rose so fast I have to insure them. I bought some Iron Giant toys several years ago and they appreciated 700% already. Yet my collection is in a good range as baby boomers love my stuff. Any toys between '83 and '95 are highly prized as those kids then are now money makers.

That's what I did this year. Set aside a few G's to buy all my old toys so I could have a decent studio to futz around in while I'm studying and working.

Now the big challenge will be the Hot Wheels toys. Dudes fight over them. I have to get my Hot Wheels and Corgi cars and tracks collection next if I can afford it. They used to have Sizzlers. Those were Hot Wheels cars you just charged up like a battery and they rolled on and fucking on! That was the last set I had back in the 70s and can't figure out why in the world I stopped playing with them. ( Now I know why, it's called GIRLS became more interesting ).

Now that I'm an old fart I can enjoy my stuff and study the craftsmanship which is remarkable. I now design toys and build prototypes! I invest in new statue/maquette lines and the return is like 800% EASY. Believe you me, if you get in on developing toys, go for it. You end up making tons of loot before you even start.

I can take a piss ass $5-$10k and toss it at the boys who do the sculpting and marketing and within a few weeks the shit is fucking ON! I mean the guys who sculpt the Marvel/DC/Star Wars shit too. Just awesome work and new guys and girls being trained every day.

Oh, a toy set I have to get are the old electric football sets. Back before video games they would make a table that vibrated and you had football team figures just like the real teams. You would turn this shit on and the players would run around the set! They fucking ROCKED! If I could get the 60's Jets, Vikings, Bears, I would be fucking happy!

I HAve a pretty Impressive Transformer COllection

where on earth do you find people to sculpt your own figures?

i would LOVE to have my fav. artists drawings turn into actual 3D renderings. i am a toy obsessor, i also have a giant comic collection and still have thousands of POGS full sets LOL.

the sadest thing ever that has happened to me is that my father had #1 captain america through #10 when he was younger, and had them ALL saved. but my grandma hid them and went to the grave with what she did with them.

i am guessing she just end up pawning them off, that is 1 thing i will never do is sell my collectables.
