I collect the WWE Classic Superstars line (but I'm not a completionist, I only get guys I like) and any and all Godzilla figures I can find.

Only action figures I've been collecting of late have been the TNA figures. But I do have all 4 Metallica figures, along with a stage & instruments.

There's this new Master of Puppets Metallica set out. I didn't really look at it, since the pot scented incense was irritating the f*** out of me so I didn't stay in the store long.

The one I have is the "...And Justice For All" set. It was a b**** to set up (especially the drum-kit). Thing was, I bought it & set it up when I was living in Belfast two years ago, then I had to figure out a way to get it back home to Castlewellan without dismantling the whole thing. I still can't remember how I did it.

My older brother got me several WWE figures for Christmas last year. I buy a new one every once in a while just to acquire more junk, I'm up to around ten I think.

When I was younger, I brought loads of WWF figures. Now the only ones I get are the WWE classic series, and only if there's one I like a lot, such as 1992 Flair or Piper. Damn I want that Vader!

I had to go to eBay to get Vader, apparently he was terribly rare in stores (at least around here anyway, I NEVER saw him or either of the Hogans)
Was $14, totally worth it.

I am trying the piece together the entire sets of the WWF Hasbro Figures including the mail aways. The hardest figure im having trouble getting my hands on is a legitimate Kamala with moon on his stomach. Too many people are making customs and selling them for outrageous prices that its hard to tell...I started collecting these during my youth and it really brings back alot of fond memories.

Really having trouble with Vader and kamala? They're a dime a dozen here. I once had 2 Vader figures in my hand, by I put them back because I didn't have the money to buy them. I saw a rack with nothing but Flair and Kamala today at Wal Mart. I'm pissed because I once had series 1 Shawn Micheals in my hand, but again, didn't have money and figured he was easy to find. Didn't know he was like the hardest figure to get in the series.

i'm also disappointed I didn't get evil satanic Undertaker and Bret Hart when I had the chance. I had to choose between those any of those and Warrior. I chose Warrior because I was a fanatic when I was a child.

I dont know how but I found evil satanic undertaker at walmart of all places about a year ago damn right I bought it on the spot. I wish I had gotten the Ultimate Warrior from the 1st series when I had the chance but I wasnt back into collecting back then. I collect off and on as well Classic Series Vader, HHH (w/skull & sledgehammers t-shirt as well as lemmy mustache) and Simon Dean were my last 3 purchases if memory serves me correctly
I have pretty much every X-men figure from the 90's assortments and about 80% of the spiderman series. I however actually play with them or used to.
I never understood why people buy them just to keep them in the package to display it doesnt that defeat the purpose of buying it? you might as well take out your camera and take a picture and display that. Do any of you really sell your figures that youve had for a long time back assuming they even are worth much?

I'm a mark for Transformers Alternators. For those of you who don't know about them, they're a line aimed for an older fanbase, with a 1:24 scale, and modeled after real cars (ex: Mazda RX-8, Ford Mustang, Subaru Impreza, etc.) My last finds were Sunstreaker (Dodge Viper), Prowl (Acura RSX), and a second Meister (RX-8, normally called Jazz, but they can't since Hasbro doesn't have that one copyrighted anymore.) I also pick up some random toys if they catch my eye, like a few Star Wars or Marvel figures.
