What else would you collect if...?

[ScottA]

We all have limits on what we can collect with space and money but just for the sake of this thread suppose you had the space and the extra disposable income to start collecting something else. What would it be?

For me it would be a toss-up between:

PEZ (not too expensive and take up relatively little room)

Aurora models (had the monsters as a kid so I have the nostalga for these)

Halloween costumes (all this talk about them this week had me looking them up on ebay)

What's yours?

I think I would collect Predator stuff. I love the Predator. I have all of the Kenner figures with some custom paintjobs I applied on doubles. Hulk, Conan, WGSH, POTA, Micronauts, vintage/select new Transformers, Wayne Gretzky, Rowdy Roddy Piper, select Mattel DC heroes, and Marvel Legends I think are enough at the time thanks. I don't know where I can put my new stuff when I get it!

Space is the big issue for me. Money secondary.

I had the cheap 10 inch Marvel Deluxe figures - 2 ups of the 5 inchers. i loved them -(though not many people did) I just had to put them in boxes after a while. Then I started giving them away to relatives and friends - Last week I sold 30 of them on craigslist for $40. It would be cool to have all 100+ up on a huge display.

I would love to collect vintage Star Wars (not Empire or Return) and have a huge room dedicated to being a diorama. I would supplement the collection with some of the stuff made in the 90's and up.

Six Million Dollar Man- I never even dabbled in this line even though I had a lot of it as a kid

Castle Films

Gulliver Superheroes

Brazillian Falcon Figures

Great topic.
My friend has a cool collection of vintage lunch boxes. I would do that for sure.
24" Shogun Warriors - all mint in box.
An Old Original Colt 45 - 1871 Peacemaker - single action 6 shooter.
Perhaps a couple of muscle cars -

[The Sentry]

Oh Shogun Warriors! YEAH! I would finish what I started! Great toys! As for SMDM I need a Sasquatch and I would be happy as a clam!

[Wee67]

There are several 70's toy lines like SMDM, but I might get into some 60's toys like Matt Mason or even Ding-a-lings.

Other stuff would include pinball machines adn 70's cars. That GTO made my heart skip! I love that car.

[Surfsup]

I'd definately go for the Aurora models as well, the artwork on those boxes are beautiful! I'd also go for comics and original artwork.

[toys2cool]

I already collect most 80's toys.But vintage Halloween costumes as well,and a few old cars

[Bill]

I need to get through Christmas and vacation and pay down the motorcycle a little bit more, but if I had the spare cash I would put a collection of these shirts right now...

I've seen about seven different cities so far and I think it would just be fun to get a full set and wear them whenever.




Dare to dream, eh? I'm getting wild these days.

Cars! Slot Cars, Movie Props

[jwyblejr]

More of the vehicles from various lines. Such as the ones from Star Wars,G.I.Joe and maybe Batman.

[MegoMonk]

Vintage VWs.

[Adam West]

I think I would go haywire collecting vintage Washington Redskins memorabilia and I would love to have a game room of pinball machines from the 1970's (Kiss and Evel Knevel come to mind) plus classic arcade games.
