    Yesterday was my birthday, so I'm... 35 now.

    I think my largest collection is Animated, probably followed by Classics/CHUG/whatevs, though I operate entirely on a "I get what I like" principle.

    I am 25, and I collect from multiple lines as well. I have no particular focus since there are always figures that I like from the lines available.

    I like my movie toys best but I have a bunch of different stuff I collect, if I think it's cool, I'm down for whatever. I have Movie, G1, MP's, Classics, 3rd Party, TF Prime, Beast Wars, Titanium 6"diecast and I own a couple Animated, RID, Energon, Armada, Revoltech and KO's as well.

    Interesting. Most of us are kids of the 80s and thus either collecting stuff from back then or new stuff that resembles the toys from the 80s (CHUGs and MPs).

    I'm 28 and my main focus is Masterpiece. I do have a sizeable collection of Classic, Animated, Prime, and Movie toys that are likely never going to be displayed properly again.

    34, and I collect any and all, though my current obsession is CHUG versions of G1 86 - 90.

    An 'I collect it all option' would have been a better choice.

    I think this does hole out the argument I had with someone that movie toys tend to be collected by a younger crowd. Nearly half the movie centric collectors are under 24. Only about 10% of the MP/CHUG/G1 collectors are under 24.
