    Heh I agree the brackets are a bit off. Back in the day, when my 'habit' was completely out of control, I had well over 500 and I know some on these boards wouldn't even consider that a lot! Since then I sold off a lot and have adopted a fairly strict policy that if its not on display for longer than couple of months its gone. My current tally is between 30-40 I think.

    The Prime Wars figures alone are about 100.

    I own all of G1 MIB and loose (with some doubles/triples, which I should sell). I own the majority of the offical MP line, some of the Titans Returns, Power of the Primes, some of the Seige line, and a lot of 3p. I would say a rough estimate is close to 1,500 pieces, now quadruple that for G.I.Joe ARAH line and Star Wars.

    Too big. My closet is getting close to full of boxes of loose figures I don't have room to display and my room is full of displays.

    I stopped counting years ago . . .

    I agree with others, those numbers for poll need to be larger ranges.

    Right about 100 if I'm counting every combiner limb and mini-con, give or take me counting G2 dreadwing as one figure or two. And then there's all the stuff I'm wanting to sell that I don't count toward my collection.

    I'm pretty sure it's over 500, but that includes duplicates. To be honest, I haven't bothered to count in a while.

    It's too many, regardless. If you can't even get in your bed without knocking figures over, that's a problem. Thus, I selling a bunch of them on Ebay right now.

    I've been collecting since '97. I have about 98% of everything released domestically since then.

    I have 350+. In the room I am sitting in as I type this. It is not the primary collection space.

    Disclaimer: Been at this collecting gig longer than some of you have been alive, so...

    Just over 100, 3 years collecting. I intend to keep it at this size by selling off anything that doesn’t spark joy or can be used for customizing.

    We’ll see how that goes.

    My best guess is about 100-150 pieces. Used to be bigger but due to limited display and storage space (and need for some funds) I have had to downsize a bit. Still trying to downsize but it seems like for every TF I part with, I end up buying 2 more to take its place.

    Always just short of “enough,” apparently.

    After collecting for over 20 years, I can't help but look at the numbers in this poll and chuckle at how long ago I crossed the supa-big range... in fact I'm pretty sure I crossed that as a kid. Thankfully I was not one of the unfortunate children of the 80's whose precious collection fell prey to the local yard sale or trash bin.

    The scary part is I wonder how close I am to supa-big squared (i.e. 90*90 or 8100 figures)?

    I really like that display. It's very well balanced and not too crowded. Personally I've always been a fan of the double hook track system.
