    Yeah some of those are especially pricey. I will say that Henshin Cyborg is easier than the Jumbo Machinder line, those things are insanely priced. I have all of the US version Shogun line except for Rodan and lust over all of the Japan versions and stuff available over the pond.

      Henshin Cyborg is another line that I really like but don't really have the space or money for. But yeah, still cheaper than Jumbos (non-US ones), you'd need to get a second mortgage on your house, and have a lot of patience, in order to build up a good collection of them.

        Growing up I had over 100 "monster dolls", what collectors are calling sofubi, but got rid of the majority back then (70's!). All I have left from back then is my modest henshin cyborg collection.

        The idea of collecting monster dolls again pops into my head every now and then, first time was in the late 90's when companies like Marmit started doing them. But I've so far resisted.
        Increasing my Henshin Cyborg stuff also pops into my head, but I have a desire only to add a few items, such as the Android characters, and maybe the Shounen Cyborg accessory packs or Cyborg Jaguar outfits.

          OMG yes.
          I've often almost bought a piece that really grabbed my attention. But I know my collecting proclivities.
          Too many options, too much money.

            Kenner Star Wars for me. For Sequel films few people seem to like the added interest sure hasn't hurt the vintage figures. I had a tough time selling mine in 2013 but now Yoda's cane is going for $20.
