I collect anything and everything Star Wars...Some Godzilla items...Some Transformers...And Ford Mustang dinky cars or die-cast models. Anyone else into toys? I'm just a grown up kid!!! Although my girl uses the term 'geek'...*SIGH*

I'll post some pics of my collection when I can. I have everything in my bedroom too...Can you believe that???

Still collecting, big bro?

Definitely...I'm almost acquiring something new each week. Not good for the bank account, especially when I would like to get married one of these days!

So, when ARE you getting married??

It's been what? 8 years?

Over 7 years...Dunno...When my gurl earns enough $$$ or when I save enough or when we win the lottery...Dunno...

How much is your collection costing you? How much is it worth?

I dunno how much it's worth...I had kept my SW items from childhood (Just a few items) and didn't officially start collecting until the release of the 'modern era' figures in 1995. How much it's been costing me...Well...I have a lot of action figures and each one ranges around $8 to $10 (CDN). The vehicles can be around the $30 (CDN). I also get the Japanese Kotobukiya statues at around the $110 (CDN) range. You can do the math but it's so hard to keep up-to-date as to how much I've spent. I get a figure here and there only if I find something I like and I need.

Not keeping track of your expenses can potentially be an out-of-control situation

As Yoda states in THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK..."Control, control, you must have control!" That I do have bro. No worries!!!

Unless one of your Death Stars suddenly starts to animate itself and try to take over your room

Oh, oh... starting to get into Transformers too now?

I hope you have all of this insured

The 80's Generation One Transformers are actually from childhood...They are in "played with" condition but I kept the boxes and the inserts including the blister/bubble. I guess it was a good idea at the time!

You know what that says? You were BORN with the toy/action figure collection instinct

So, would you like to meet up when I go to Vancouver?

A couple friends have asked me to join them this December for a week-long road trip. The plans are still preliminary.

I wish I could bro...But I don't have enough days off left for this year for like a week's time of vacation. I'd love to visit Vancouver one day...Lots of mountains...Beautiful scenery...Typical west coast! You don't get anything like that here in the GTA! I hope you have fun bro and please take lots of pics!
