    Transformers. Seriously, I stopped except a select few because I just don't have space. I have about a dozen displayed and all my G1 and Alts in a box somewhere. My main collections are comics and original comic art.

    I also collect hockey jerseys. But those are thin and store easily.

    Noble Collection's Harry Potter replicas. I've got Ron's wand, and I'd like to get at least a couple more things, but other stuff I collect/am interested in takes precedence. Maybe once Prime is over and I can take a break from collecting TF's.

    Power Rangers. I used to collect them but I just don't have the passion for it like I used to. So I am fine with not collecting them. But I'd still like to.

    Also Hot Toys. That stuff is absolutely incredible. But I could never afford something like that unless I was absolutely desperate.

    My Child Dolls. I had 2 of these as a little girl and wish I'd kept them and then had the money to collect more.

    Star Wars- i have limited my collection to just the major original trilogy vehicles.
    if i had the cash/space, i would love to expand that to figures and playsets.

    Heck, i'd be happy with a nice even dozen of AT-ATs and AT-STs, lol.

    High security locks (use one to lock up my bikes outside with a chain. Too bad they're freaking pricy, not to mention extra keys). Then again, I focus mainly on animation DVDs.

    Statues, specifically the Kotobukiya Star Wars statues and the Marvel Super-Heroines Bishoujo statues, and probably others. So nice... so expensive.

    Weapons of any kind for me, but mostly stuff with a lot of wood or Ivory when it comes to these things. Then there's the Asian & medieval type shit too, and of course there's cars. If I could, I'd probably have like 10 cars, mostly muscle cars & vintage wagons/trucks.

    I think a 57 Chevy Nomad would look great next to my PT Cruiser. :)

    Anything I can't find at retail.
    I've looked at a whole bunch of stuff online (mainly videogame merch) and wanted to buy it.
    Sadly, local distro on anything I'm interested in seems to be pretty terrible. I'd have to go online if I want stuff, and the added cost of shipping bumps anything up to that area of 'Can't justify'.

    That and I'd love to own some more Hot Toys figures. I have the RE5 Jill and it's fantastic but I just can't justify that kind of money on any regular basis. If money and space were no object I'd have bought all the Iron Man/War Machine variants they make. Plus both Weskers for the wife.

    I'd also like to collect the Cyberverse stuff. I bought all of it back when they were Legends during the Cybertron toyline. At the price they are now though, I just can't justify the money for something so small. Although, it's more of a robits in general thing than specifically Cyberverse. But Cyberverse I actually have room for.

    Oh, and comics.

    I have utterly no interest in firearms but I'd collect those too. I think I'm just a fan of vintage stuff as it's often designed as much with style in mind as function. These days things get less interestingly designed. Look at how cameras and phones are mostly just boring slabs now compared to those of even just ten years ago.

    MotU Classics. I think they look great and all but I still have my 200X MotU figures which are still awesome as well.
