View-Master is one area of collecting that's extremely reasonable. Having said that, I've never been able to get PotA for a price I'm content with. You can get Batman or Star Trek for a song, compared to PotA. Or maybe my luck's just not there for this set. Glad you got them, though, bluebird! I see you're from the UK--I wonder is GAF had any cool UK exclusives? Any idea?

I paid a good price for the POTA slides in original case with instructions for If I remember $12.00 shipped from the states, also bought a 1960s viwmaster last night for 11 gbp again boxed with 5 sets of slides. Cant ever remember seeing any exclusives on them to be honest

IMO, that's a really good price, man--way to go!

Other hobbies?
Watching/Riffing bad movies
Writing

I like to collect:
Robots or robot-like characters (Cylons, Iron Man, Nova, Bionicles, C-3PO, etc.)
Mego Museum/Plaid Stallions/Other Trading Cards (not sports related)
GI Joe (25th Anniversary and beyond, although I bought a vintage HQ this year)
LJN SWAT/Rookies/Emergency stuff
Rainfall Bible figures (only have one, need many more)

I just took an interest in collecting classic-style Blue Beetle action figures, but I don't own a single one yet. I don't know the character really and I have never read a comic book with him in it, but I've always liked the design of the character and decided I had to collect him. (want to get the Minimate, DCU Classic, & other versions)

For me I'm all about the re-Mego's, especially the Venture Bros.
Halloween related items leaning more into the music at the moment
Rediscovering my love for the Kevin Smith flicks, soundtracks, merchandise and comics

[Brown Bear]

I also love boxing.

Well...living in Mexico it is REALLY hard to collect anything. But they do have these swapmeets every week and I usually walk away with one vintage toy that the Mexicans have no idea what they have. I have gotten SnaggleTooth, Tauntaun, and Bib Fortuna. Haven´t had these toys in years. I collect anything I remember from my seventies and eighties childhood that I can find in Mexico. Also interested in monsters...Obviously...

So many things. The two largest are probably

1)Pro Wrestling- Started watching on Saturday mornings as all the good acrtoons seemed to be gone in 1985 and have never looked back. The best part of being a wrestling fan is the sheer number of events available to attend in my area at any given time

2)Comics-Been collecting since I was 12 or 13 but have really kicked it high gear the last few years. I attend one sometimes two shows a month and and there is a great store about 25 minutes from me that also gets a visit at least once a month. I rarely buy online unless there's a huge price difference or I've just had no luck getting the issues I need at my regular outlets.

Aside from Megos I'm also a fan/collector of Kenner Star Wars. That's been on hold for a number of years as I decided how to best utilize the limited space I have left.
Plus most of vinateg topy dollars have gone to Megos the last few years just due to the community being so great here.

Honorable mention to 70's TV/Cartoons and autograph collecting as well.

Golf, golf and golf. I love it. Can't get enough....playing it, reading books about it, watching it.....

[johnnystorm]

Comics, Viewmasters, non-sport card, autographs, Pittsburgh Steeler football

Pittsburgh Steeler football

Next month, McFarlane has a Terry Bradshaw coming out that looks incredible. I hope I can get him as easy as I found Staubach.

So much stuff besides Mego.....really as much as I adore Mego toys, it makes up for only a portion of the toys I collect. I love Fisher Price Little People and Adventure People, Star Wars, G.I. Joe, Tron, etc.... I collect alot of vintage KISS memorabilia, like magazines, posters, and stuff. Actually I collect music magazines in general, especially the ones I grew up on like 16, Rockline, Hit Parader, Circus, Creem, Faces...mainly from the 1970s and 1980s. I still get into comics a bit, not as much as I once did. And I love to collect vinyl LPs and 8-tracks, though alot of that stuff is starting to really skyrocket in price lately it seems, unfortunately.

And I dunno about you guys but I'm pretty addicted to stuff like YouTube. I was always a big collector of tv shows, commercials, music videos, etc., so YT is a paradise for me. I still have quite a bit of old stuff taped on Beta and VHS that I have to convert and upload to YT one day.
