    Well, I only have 2 leader class dudes, but I got em both at 50% off, so I paid what I'd normally have paid for a full price voyager. Along with that, I got my Unicron at 40% off and my Battle Ops bee for $20, so it was kinda like these bigger guys who normally wouldn't be within my price range were.

    Transformers. I stopped collecting them after the '07 movie toyline. I can't justify spending money on something that's gonna sit on a shelf permanently.

    More guns, high end knives, other assorted weapons. This stuff is just too expensive. My guns stick to what I need for defense, plinking, and maybe hunting if I ever decide to take it up.

    G1 Transformers. Since the movies injected so many more fans into the community, the prices have gone way up.

    Manga. Pretty much given up collecting anything that isn't complete and even then I only stick to thinks with fewer than 20 volumes.

    Transformer/Star Wars Statues - Not so much for the £££ but the space.

    Think I posted here before but I got one more to add onto my original reply here:

    Vinyl Records.

    Yep, I got a few old 2003-2006 era Hardcore Vinyls. But I just can't find anymore these days...

    Masterpieces


    Check out www.discogs.com :D 

    That's where I get most of my stuff that is not available anymore. You can organize your collection, sell stuff and buy used and even new stuff, because even some shops have accounts there.

    Saved in my favorites. Just took a look and man, there are some old hardcore records. Time to add to my vinyl collection! And dust off those two old Stanton ST-150s! Old Skool Vinyl Hardcore FTW!
