Anyone have any specific new collecting goals for the new year coming? My personal focus will continue to be mostly on new items as I generally can't afford vintage figures and I do good at times just to keep up with new releases. That being said, I would like to begin to rebuild an LJN Dungeons & Dragons collection like I used to have up until about five years ago but I will just have to play it by ear. Getting back to new items, there are some Chap Mei Animal Planet items still on my "wish" list. One possibly upcoming line I am looking forward to is ReAction Star Trek figures plus continuing my Universal Monsters and Planet Of The Apes collecting.

Damn, my collecting goals for 2015 are to simply get my current stuff out of their bags n' boxes! Atrophied too long, my figures will all be hunchbacks soon!
As far as new acquisitions go I might try holding off the impulse buys this year using what I save to focus on picking up fewer, but more costly, figs.

More Japanese vinyl. Find French exclusive Heathcliff, Inspector Gadget, and Ulysses 31 toys. Waiting on the Dark Crystal and Gremlins ReAction figures. Hope they do another Horror line as well (modern not Universal monsters)  |

So i keep trying to write a reply to this thread and I feel bad, I have to work towards so much this year I feel bad spending the time focusing on something so 'frivolous' as what toy collections I'm working toward when I should be focusing on one of the many other, more impactful things that need working on - and that's utter nonsense because the whole point of this site is to focus on that; because I've spent three hours today farting about (unsuccessfully for the most part) on eBay focusing on that very thing (granted it was Sunday and my day of rest, now it's technically Monday, could that be it?); because I actually put conscious thought into my 2015 collecting goals (though I didn't have a name for them until just now) and how to work them around everything else, and use them to improve and aid everything else i'm working toward, and am going to spend Tuesday and Thursday sorting out my toys; because it's 20 to 2 in the morning and I couldn't work on the other things if I tried and because hobbies are not frivolous they keep me sane and even if they were this is a place where they wouldn't be seen as frivolous anyway.
So in conclusion: I need cake (and to slow down, clam down and talk about my problems more, but first - cake).
Thank you.

Milk and sugar please (and cheers) Sorry about the rant in this thread, I was in a strange way so you guys got a strange post, at least it was amusing I guess - my collecting goals for 2015 are, for the curious, to focus more, pick up a 'big figure' each month or so (this month it was Hypnos from Pulsar) and complete my set of 'characters I had as a child' in Masters of the Universe Classics incarnations. |

My goals for 2015 that will be my years number 3 of collecting seriously action figures. I will liked to complete my gi joe collection but I still need alote of stuff but I will try to complete my python patrol and my eco-warrior, I would like to find some international variation and maybe if I am lucky maybe some prototype would be cool.
I realy need to display my collection, its sad if I have to keep them in bagies in a box inside the closet !

Keeping things simple this year. Goals are to get searching on Ebay again for the few fantasy KO lines that I still need 1 or 2 figures to complete such as Battlehawks, Flexatron and a few others.
Also a big goal of mine is to re-organize my entire loose figure collection as I have boxes of stuff here and their that I picked up over the last 5 years that I never properly put away.

Pretty much just loose ends
Sorta been kicking around the idea of starting a G1 Transformers, I only have 2 and like the G1's, but haven't decided yet
I am always looking for Micro machines, Certain Mannix Figures, Dragonball,Legos and random stuff, Been thinking about collecting Remcos, Lanards, and Joes again, I had to sell off some of mine in the recession to be able to keep collecting, But thinking about rebuilding those collections

I never really have goals. I just try to keep up with new stuff I want. and I blow amazing amounts of hours searching for and hoping to find cool older lines that I never knew about. I guess the fact that I decided years ago that I needed to focus on one thing and I chose one scale as that thing, which is of course 3 3/4" and 1:18 scale. so that saves me a ton of time and money hunting for every toy ever made and living between boxes and shelves full of toys.

Find space to store all my toys with dignity. Right now, many of my rubber animals are just stored in disgraceful piles on my room's desk. Such great figures piled in such a sad way. Really, I'm not proud...

Man, did it take anyone else a lot longer this year to recover from the Christmas holiday? I feel like I'm coming out of a coma...
Anyway I think my main goal this year is to TRY not to get sidetracked with new figures & lines I discover while tracking down the figures I'm really looking for (mostly Mannix & filling some Remco holes). The problem is most of what I'm currently collecting doesn't turn up very often and I'll pick up random things here & there to fill the void. And I also need to find a way to display my figures better. I think it's going to have to involve tiered stands.

My main `vintage` goal is trying to further complete my StarCom and MASK series.
On the front of newer releases, I`m looking at those `big` Pacific Rim Jaegers and from the FunkoPop`s the new Battlestar galactica set

My goals for 2015 was the vintage ThunderCats cats lair and the vintage MOTU Tytus and Megator, loose complete. I got the cats lair at the end of December and just recently got my two giants. I'm thinking now both MOTU laser figures. I didn't think I'd hit my goals so quickly.

good thing for you deciding to get yor AD&D collection back the prices for them are the lowest I can ever recall, even the fang fortress is cheap these days, I think I sold my last one with the box for a little over $100 which was a steal and a half! If you have the extra cash go for some carded figures I always liked the primary colored card backs for that line.
My goal this year is for my business to hit a millon bucks in sales, which I think we can do but it's funny after taxes and expenses how little of that money I will actually end up seeing. I guess the old adage of paying a lot to the tax man at least means you are making money holds true, glass half full or half empty?
Good luck to you, SIN......

I'm trying to collect the version 1 Primus and Sekundos from Turly Gang as well as some Apes Attacks and some Galaxy Warriors especially Triton. I went through all my Galaxy Warriors to find out they are mostly Galaxy Fighters, Magnon is my only Galaxy Warrior the rest are fighters. I also would like to find some Action Captain as well as a carded Terminate and Destroy. And Tung-Lashor.... I would really like to find Tung-Lashor.

Half way through the year and so far I haven't been able to add one D&D figure to my collection yet. I don't know if Neca has canceled the Planet Of The Apes line but no new figures are ready for even pre-order anywhere and a store I went to last week reduced the Apes figures they had from the first series to $9.99 each. I thought about grabbing an extra Soldier Ape but didn't. The ReAction Star Trek figures weren't what I thought although I have ultimately decided to collect them and thus far I haven't made a lot of head way towards keeping up with the Diamond Monsters although I have managed to get almost all the ReAction ones. I guess it's like the saying goes, life is what happens while you are making other plans.  |

I do not make goals any more on figures as my want list has changed little since last year as the figures are hard to find. I just try to make sure that when they make an appearance that I do everything I can to add them to the collection.
