    Until last year I had converted the garage in my old house into a mancave, and I was able to display pretty much everything I had. I moved last year so I'm very limited as to what I can display now, but everything that is not on display is either packaged away or in my office at work.

    Mine at one point was well over 5000 figures. Hurricane Sandy took a chunk down sadly. I've replaced the ones I wanted to and have still been collecting. I am probably somewhere in the 4000 range.

    I have a big 3 story house. One room for display and the third floor for storage. I also store some that I really don't care about, like AEC, in the loft in my Garage. lol

    Well for G1ers... S1 had

    AUTOBOTS
    18 as the Ark Crew
    5 Dinobots
    Skyfire

    DECEPTICONS
    8 Nemesis Crew (3 Reflectors)
    -4 Additional Cassetticons
    Shockwave
    3 Insecticons
    6 Constructicons

    So I would consider the G1 Season 1 cast small, but thats already 46 Characters.


    Beast Wars had 10 Characters in the first Episode.

    I don't know the exact number now as they are all packed away (except Car Robots Brave Maximus) as I'm moving in a couple weeks but I would guess my collection count must be hovering at around 100 now. The collection was a lot larger but I sold off the majority of it last month in my attempt to focus my collecting more.

    Yeah, “Supa Big” is definitely a LOT more than 90 :D 
    I had that many by the time I was 14 :p 

    I haven’t counted since a computer virus ate my tracking spreadsheet around 15 years ago. At that time I had around 1000. I would estimate maybe 2000 by now, and that’s modest compared to many just on this board. I really need to count again...

    I only started collecting a few years go with the release of the Combiner Wars line. That said, I currently have 230 figures in my possession, with another 20 or so preordered and/or in a PoL waiting to be shipped

    I never counted my toys. I know I have over a hundred. I hope I don't have over two hundred.

    There was a guy that use to post on Allspark.com that have one copy of every toy for each mode. So just one combiner team put him at 15 toys. So yeah some of us can go a bit crazy with our collecting and display.

    As for my collection I would have to count, and I just did a big purge and might do another one soon, but I would be surprised if I have too much over 200.

    I had over 450, as of 2008. I haven't counted since then, but kept collecting. I know there's a ton, but I'm clearing them out now. Looking to only have 20-30, max.

    16. i had about 40-50 but a couple weeks ago i sold the bulk of it. collecting just doesn't do much for me, and honestly huge collections never reallly seemed appealing. biggest it ever got was 92-93 which was years ago.

    Although I don't really consider my collection as "Supa Big", it's currently about 120 and I expect to stop at around 150 total once my MP collection is complete.

    40 MP: Takara/Fanstoys
    40 TFPrime loose
    40 TFPrime MISB

    Mine's also in the 1000+. I'd call it large.

    At last count I was in the 50s, but I just started collecting last year so it's growing rather quickly.
