    My collection just keeps growing. Not only am I a slave to Transformers, but I have many other interests. I've been cutting them back though... I use to be into collecting SW figures in a big way. This year though I've lost the desire to continue with the line. The 30th Ann' collection is maybe the best line Hasbro has ever done, but after wave 2 it seemed almost impossible to find figures. So now I only go after the McQuarie figures and will get the Vintage Style figures if they come back next year.

    My new big love is the GI Joe 25th Ann' line. I honestly want to get them all including the SDCC Pimp Destro (gold) but the price is just to high for me to spend on a Joe figure.

    Most of the collection picks I'm posting aren't current. I will add some updated pics though. Including my huge stockpiles of stuff not on display.

    Mountain of mess stage 1. I went through this and gutted the whole area. Most everything got sorted through and put into storage in a back room. So I cleaned this all out once. I'm not sure how long ago that was, but this year I've pretty much filled this area up again.

    Back when I still had my Convention Exclusive Reissues on display. Man I love those.

    Thanks. It's definatly the prize of my cel collection. I really wish I could get more cels from the movie. I don't usually think to look for cels very often. When I do find one though they are way out of my price range. I was luck with this one. An ebay seller had tons of movie cels in sequence. There were like 20 laserbeak cels... so I just picked out the one I wanted and went for it. If I were rich, I'd really go big on cels, especially G1, the movie, and Victory. But, I'm not rich.

    Well, I don't have the US MP Starscream nor MP Skywarp (for that matter) yet. So I sort of know how you feel. It's funny, how what you don't have is always more coveted than what you do have.

    Here's a nice Takara MP Starscream for ya' on ebay. Still under $100 :D

    Yes I am, and it pains me that I haven't got more of them (aka all of them). I just keep getting side tracked with other things. Usually when there is some sort of lull I go trolling ebay for vintage boxed TFs. Don't even think of Seiya figures until way after the fact. I keep meaning to get back to it while they are still around. It's kind of the same way with the TF Kiss Players stuff. It's for items like these I wish I had a lots of money so I could just buy them all at once. With most anything new if I buy it piece by piece when it comes out it's all easy to get. If there is a back log with lots of items I tend to put it off or forget about it. So I'm envious of your Myth Cloth collection (if you've got alot of them).

    There are a few collections I've always ment to start building but haven't gotten to yet. A few I got a couple (or very little more) of, but for the most part have nothing yet.

    Super Powers (nothing)
    Mego Super Heros (nothing)
    GI Joe RAH (two boxed vehicles)
    Star Wars Kenner ( 4 carded figures)
    Eagle Force ( 6 carded figures )
    Robotix ( 1 boxed )
    Vintage Seiya ( 6 boxed )
    Inhumanoids (nothing)
    Visionaries ( nothing )
    Indiana Jones Kenner (nothing)

    This week I started a very small collection that I've wanted for a while. This set would be the first 9 Care Bears MIP. I won an auction off ebay for 6 of the 9. Yeah, it's kind of weird to see Care Bears pop up in my list of collection wants.... but I was sort of into them for a little while as a kid and have fond memories of them. Guess it's not really that different than my current interest in Pokemon. Cute can be cool too.

    The next project I want to get started on is a set of the original 12 Kenner Star Wars figures dead mint and loose. To go with my original mail away figure display. Because honestly when ever I think Star Wars I think of that. When I was 6 and the toy line just started, a friend of the family's son had nearly a full set, and the mail away stand. It was the first time I ever saw any of the toys and was awe struck. To me, this is the most important of all Star Wars monuments and I'm kind of suprised that I keep puting it off in the name of new Star Wars figs and Transformers. I have the stand and a loose mint 3PO, but that's it.

    Wow, I sure get easily side tracked when talking about toys. From Seiya to Star Wars in a single post.
