    If I HAD to spend it on toys?

    Crap....that would be a fun spree.....dedicated to every toy line I ever grew up with and even those I always wanted to grow up with....

    First things first....Buy a bunch of MOC Megos and tear them open like it's Christmas day.....

      If I had a million dollars and I had to JUST spend it on toys....

      The Funko Wacky Wobblers line. Not exclusives because I donīt like exclusives, just the regular ones. I am sure I will have money left over so....

      The entire Mattel Legends of wrestling line. Again, no exclusives...

      The entire Marvel Universe 4 inch line.

      Super Nintendo and all games, and Sega Genesis and all games from the past.

      I think that would eat it all up.

      Eat it all up? LOL....buy some stuff from me! That wouldn't even take you to the 20,000 dollar point!

          I would give it all to Hot Toys, and have them create for me an exclusive one of a kind set of every single Universal Monster and Hammer Monster in one sixth scale.

            I'd get all of the boxed and carded Mego toys I've wanted for years, complete series of stuff like ST:TMP, Buck Rogers, Flash Gordon, Micronauts, Black Hole, etc.

            All the Star Wars vintage era toys, 1977-1984, boxed/carded

            All of the 1970s G.I. JOE and Super Joe toys.

            All of the 24" and die-cast SHOGUN WARRIOR toys, including foreign releases.

            As many of the old 1970s/1980s Fisher Price Little People and Adventure People toys MIB/MOC, etc., that I could find.

            I'd buy lots of old Barbie, Care Bears, Woodseys, Sylvanian families/Calico critters, etc. from the 1980s for my wife, so she could share in the fun too

            All of the 1982-1984 RAH G.I. Joe toys.

            Lastly I would pay to have some company create two adult-sized versions of the original Green Machine so that I could have races with friends!

              Nothing I'd have'd be packaged/on card...that's for sure.

              If I could hire guys like Michael Crawford as advisors..it'd be great...cause
              I don't know the cool toy lines like I should.

                Then get the GAH figures.
                Lol! So would I, + Brian's collection too

                  Is one million enough for one of those replica 60s Batmobiles?

                  Because if it is...that's what I would buy...that big beautiful giant toy...

                    I was going to say I couldn't think of anything that would come close to making a dent in a mill.

                    But then I thought of...

                    Original King Kong Armature

                    If that counts as a toy, I might try to spend the whole wad on that.

                      That one crossed my mind as well...

                        I'd get a bunch of '80s toys I'd had as a kid. Star Wars, Super Powers, Ghostbusters, He-Man, G.I. Joe, the first waves of Ninja Turtles... but I'd concentrate on the first three. I'd have a complete loose, mint set of my favorite Megos (WGSH, Pirates, Robin Hood, Flash Gordon, Trek and Apes, Our Gang, Dukes of Hazzard, Wizard of Oz. Heck, if it's in 8" format and isn't the Waltons, I'd probably buy it). You could go pretty far with that kind of money if you're just into loose toys, like I am. A million would more than cover it.

                        Thinking seriously about it though... maybe I wouldn't go for the toys. Maybe I'd set up a workshop, buy some tools (resins, mold-making supplies, sewing machine, air brush), pay some members here to give me an accelerated master class in customizing figures, then I'd start making my own one-of-a-kind toys and playsets. That way, I could indulge in my love of toys, but be really creative with it, too. That would be the best.

                          I'd hire EMCE Toys to make me a Mego line of World's Greatest Boxers featuring all my favorite fighters: Duran, Holyfield, Frazier, Foreman, Holmes, Leonard, Hearns, etc.
                          All with removeable boxing gloves with taped hands underneath. Then I'd ask Toyroom to do the packaging for me, then I'd stay up all night and do boxing matches.

                                I'd be looking for carded & boxed Megos a plenty as well as lots of vintage Kenner Star Wars. Now if you consider full sized arcade machines toys (aren't they though?) I would build an arcade in my backyard. Something like this http://www.lunacityarcade.com/photos.htm but with some games from the late eighties and ealry ninties as well.
