HockeySavants 5 Report post Posted July 13, 2011 So I've started to grow my business and so far it's been going very good, here's the latest inventory, I actually have spent about 2 months collecting 95% of this, most of it from lot sales and trades, and have been working as a "finder" for some people to locate rare items and get a good chunk of cash, but I primarily do it because I love it.

Jason Harris 31 Report post Posted July 13, 2011 I don't collect toys, but I have a dream that one day sort of would.My dream is to remodel our house by creating a second story for all the bedrooms, which in turn would open the basement to become split between a home theater room and a large game room. It's possible to get carpets with team logos on them, so the game room would have four areas of carpeting -- B's. C's, Sox and Pats -- separated by black borders. As for the "toys," I'm not sure whether I'd have a recessed shelf built on top of the walls, or a series of display areas built into the wall (like recessed boxes), but then I'd have resin figurines of DC and Marvel superheroes.That dream's been there for years. I still think it could happen, but I really want it to happen before the ladies are out of the house and off to college. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MyBoxersSayJoe 133 Report post Posted July 16, 2011 I'm pretty sure 40-year-old virgin is a preview of my life in 12 years hahaha. Last pickup was the limited edition Dethklok figures from SDCC a few years ago. Yes, I have figures on display in the box in my bedroom. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moose24x 0 Report post Posted July 23, 2011 I collect a little bit. I'm kind of picky as I don't really like the ones where there are obvious joints/articulation points (I prefer plenty of articulation, just not blaringly obvious design where you can see it all). I have a small but choice collection of DC Direct and Play Arts action figures, mostly from the Batman universe, with some Green Lantern and some video game related figures as well. I have a massive reservoir of toys from my childhood in the basement, but that's more like, a few crates of figures than a collection. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Race4LastPlace 31 Report post Posted October 23, 2011 I have a hot wheels collection, and a few other things (miniature nfl helmets). But a new gem just arrived yesterday. A mint condition die cast metal Batmobile still in package from the original 1989 Batman movie. Apparently my grandfather bought it then and stored it, and my grandmother just now found it.
