What lines are you die hard about right now?

[turnbolt]

I know we all are continually looking to expand our meager collections. I was just wondering what line are each of you die hard about right now?

i.e. which do you have an automatic ebay search for or which do you look for on a daily basis hoping to find the holy grail to solidify your collection.

Also how close are you to finishing up these particular lines?

For me....

I am trying to complete my collections of ;

Blackstar : just need the space ship, trobbit wind machine and a few accessories

Crystar : Need a few figs and the beast.

Pirates of dark water : Just stared this.....so I need everything. Ship and figs.

Filmation's Ghost Busters : Need all the vehicles and Playset

etc...


so...how bout you?

[10incher]

Well, I pretty much collect everything, but my priorities are always changing. Right now I am hardcore into:

Mighty Crusaders - still need 4 figures and the accessories from 3 others (only have 2 complete) UPDATE Need only Eraser

Power Lords - Still need a ton of stuff. This figure line is my highest priority. UPDATE need creatures, vehicles, playsets & a few weapons

Crystar - need the castle, 2 dragons and 3 of the playsets UPDATE need castle & crystal dragon

Thundercats - need Stinger, Berbil Bill, Toungeasaurus, Cats Lair, a few vehicles and 3 weapons to figures.

[Hammer 0f The Gods]

I'm not really hellbent on completing lines, I usually just get the figures that interest me. Although, these are probably my favorite to collect right now and since three of them aren't that big, I would like to complete them.
Crystar -have most of the figures, need the castle, both dragons and 2 figures
Blackstar -need a good many of the figures, all vehicles and animals
Infaceables -have 2 figures and 1 vehicle
Convertors -have many figures with many more to go

[10incher]

I would love to start an Infaceables collection as well and have been on the lookout for the figures. Gotta go the MOC route I guess..... then tear them outa that package!!!!!!

Hey you all know i'm obsessed with Dino Riders

One good thing about those, is that pretty much every item comes boxed. So even if you get one unopend, you only have to snip the tap and open it up. I currently own half of the line.

I only collect toys that interest me too. Not super interested in completeing a toy line just for the sake of it. Luckily the entire Dino Riders line is interesting to me, so I hope to get them all

I plan on getting into some other toy lines too, but it seems easier to focus on only one until I get everything I want. Not sure what I'll start on after Dino Riders. StarCom seems really cool.

[starhorse]

*Drool* I dont' even have the bronto or t-rex yet Hopefully they will show up complete on ebay soon. Planet Force had a MIB Bronto for $350 earlier this month, but someone bought that. I was considering saving up for a month to buy that. The box was in super awsome condition.

[starhorse]

They aren't super hard to come buy. I've seen loose near complete brontos on ebay within the last month. Probably about 4 or them actually. They can go anywhere from 100 to 250, depending on how excited the bidders get. But I've never seen a MIB one on ebay. That would be a real gem to own.

Really the bronto going for that much isn't all that hard to believe because it originally retailed for $80! It was the biggest dino by far. Over 3 feet long. It's one cool big ass toy!

[10incher]

I never realized that some of these Dinoriders toys were so large. It is hard to judge from the few pics i have seen. Man, what kid wouldn't want a 3' dinosaur!

[starhorse]

Hopefully I'll own one eventually. I'll take some pics with some other action figure lines in there just for a scale comparrison so you guys can get a feel for how big they are.

[wraith]

Dungeons & Dragons: Tiamat

Clash of the titans: Just started back into this line.I need the Kraken,Perseus,Calibos (sp?) & the reaper guy

A-Team: 6inch : Face & Amy & some guns

Hasbro mail in: 8" Sgt Slaughter to complete my wrestling collection

Space 1999: want the ship that was in the 33/4" figure scale

[THE KNOCK-OFF MESSIAH]

im always die hard about bootlegs and international variants!!!!


i know how you feel about the infacables i dont have any loose either and anytime i find one they are way messed up. i love to get some nice loose ones

[10incher]

Since their hasn't been much on Ebay lately for waht i need for Crystar, Blackstar & Powerlords, here are a few other lines I am trying to get into:

1. Roboforce
2. Mantech
3. Robotech (Matchbox)

[vintagenate]

Star Wars(off and on for about two years) and what I'm really more focused on at the moment - Kenner's Indiana Jones line.

[tank1976]

I am more focused on MASK items now more than anything else.

[wraith]

I guess I also should have put 33/4" GI Joes.I just can't stop armybuilding! :DI've got over 3,000 figures & over 400 vehicles & playsets.& I'm a sucker for a good deal when it concerns more troops for my armies.

[jeffcorrell]

I'd really like to finish up my carded silverhawks set. 3 more to go.

I would aslo like to get more loose or carded tigersharks and I've been thinking about maybe picking up some glasslite dinosaucers.

I'm always a die-hard for star wars prototype stuff too.

-Jeff

[adam03]

I am interested in Dukes of hazzard since seeing the movie!! and Jskks classic superstars, I know they aren`t vintage. but they are such cool looking figures, and the reason I sold all my LJN`s and Hasbro`s!!!

[madmartigan37]

I collect star wars off and on, right now I am trying to track down accessories.
I am really collecting Willow and trying to finish off the line.
Also Star Trek the Motion picture I need 4 of the aliens and 2 crew.

[turnbolt]

Ok...kids!!! I need an update. How have your collections been going the last few months?

I finally got the last piece of my Blackstar Collection (variants not included)

I need 1 more piece for my Crystar Set.

My Rambo collection is shaping up well and My Filmation Ghostbusters only need their playset.

So how's about the rest of you. I know you are all out there buying!!!

[Hammer 0f The Gods]

My latest thing is GoBots. Thats what I'm spending most of my money on right now. As far as the ones I listed before, I'm getting there with Blackstar. I have a ways to go before completing it though. My Convertors collection has doubled and I'm one figure away from completing the Infaceables line(not counting the 2 vehicles I need).

[robomonkey]

I can't really count the GI Joe collection and the Transformer collection cause they are more like ongoing projects... I may never be REALLY finished and at some point I always get back to one or the other

Recently I've been pretty hardcore about Go-Bots, Battle Beasts, Shogun Warriors and really almost anything 80's classic die-cast robots.

[treckmeyer]

Well my silverhawks and Visionaries are real close to done. I need simple weapons and parts to complete the collections! Blackstar, I'm still missing a few characters or parts, not to mention those damn trobbit vehicles. Stupid TROBBITS! I need D Compose for Inhumanoids, the mail away vehicle for Sky Commanders, and pretty much all the playset stuff for Crystar. I need a Kraken for Clash of the Titans, and calibos' tail. Few things for the Super Powers and I will be finished, course those things include the batcopter, hall of justice, 3 arrows for green arrow and cyborg. And I'm missing 3 vehicles for the Shadow strikers line. And, as far as GI Joe goes, I got some work to do.

[10incher]

Here is an update:

Mighty Crusaders: completed the line

Power Lords: have all the figures (need Rygoth's weapon), scored Volcan Rock and a few vehicles. Still need 3 vehicles, the 3 smaller playsets and 3 of the Beast Machines.

Crystar: still need the castle and a COMPLETE Crystal Dragon

Thundercats: haven't gotten to far since my last post but did acquire a few weapons I needed (only Bengali's hammer to go).

Right now I am concentrating on Rambo, Robotech, Conan, & Captain Power. The Crystar, Blackstar, AD&D, Power Lords, Super Naturals & Silverhawks items I need are basically an Ebay waiting game.

[mannyscollectibles]

Always Thundercats...I gotta slow down because im running out of things to get toy line wise. I think i need less than 10 figures and I will have the whole toy line MIB or MOC except the Cats Lair of course which is loose complete

[turnbolt]

I am glad to hear everyones collection are going well. Now will some please stop me from eyeing those Silverhawks auctions........ahhhhhh.

[mannyscollectibles]

People may want to jump on Silverhawks because if they come out on dvd theyll regain interest.Keep in mind too that the 80's are in full force now

[captmiloman]

I'm currently focusing on 3 3/4 to 4" lines at the moment:
SW Vintage Original Trilogy Collection(2004-present)
Battlestar Galactica(1979), although the current 12" figures from Majestic Studios are cool
Buck Rogers In the 25th Century(1979-80)
The Black Hole(1979-80)
CHIPS(1980-81)
Dukes Of Hazzard(1981)
Microman/Micronauts
Marvel Showdown(The figures with the gaming cards, I might even get around to learning the game eventually)

[gort]

I'm not really a completist, I just get what I like from a line. That said, here's what I'm mainly hooked on for now ;D

Super Sentai mecha - Popys, Godaikins, Power Rangers (well, some of them), Sentai robots are a big focus at the moment but getting the ones I want, especialy the vintage, at the right price is a challenge. Now SOC seem to be bringing out some stuff as well

Battle ofthe Planets 3 3/4" figures - The line I wish I'd know existed as a kid. Still need Mark and Keyop (and a better Princess)

Superhuman Samurai Syber-Squad (no surprise there if you've seen the thread ) mainly into the deluxe figures, but I'm getting tempted to branch out

Captain Power - I can't put my finger on what it is about these, I don't spend much on them but I've been slowly picking them up since I got my first figure.

[drbo]

Good tread, indeed our interest are always shisting!
For my part the lines I recently looked for are :

- Vintage Star Wars
My first real collection, and I realized I missed not too many figure to have a complete line (outside the overpriced Power of the Force). I miss like 4 figure now.

- Coleco Rambo
Going pretty well, I just miss a few accessories on the figure I want (I don't have Whip something Warhawk but don't like it much, maybe later).

- Dreamworks Ultraman (or Ultraman Defender of the earth or Ultraman Great, as you wish)
Got Ultraman (2 variant) and all the monster, I look for the two vehicule but not real hard, the monsters are cooler!

- Sectaurs
Went on a Sectaurs spree lately, started back from the three figure I still had from my youth. I only miss silver Dargon and 2 accessories right now (I don't look for the hive), so it's going well.

- Robin Hood Prince of Thieves
I have all the figure carded plus some variant, wanting for a package to arrive and I also have them all loose and complete. Must confess I opened two cards to have these...

- Playmate Dick Tracy
I have the whole line loose, recently won a bid on E-Bay that will complete my carded collection as well. I will have a few doubles, I will probably offer them here.

- McFarlane X-Files movie figure
Collected them loose at first, realized they were quite affortable carded. On my way to have them all carded, including many, many variant. Always thought to have extra double on the lot I got but realized they were different as they arrived, the figure in this line have been packaged in every possible combo!
