Aside from megos, where does your collecting $$$ go?
I don't really have one thing that is my main focus. It depends on what is being released and what the secondary market is like. When I first started collecting action figures, I would go to stores and cons and go nuts on DC Direct, because I needed some of the older figures. Now that there's less of an effort, I relax on those a little, plus I don't worry about a lot of the artist-specific lines that involve characters I already have. Sometimes I'll go to a toy show with one thing in mind, and even though I see other stuff I'd like, I walk past it, focusing on my goal for that day. In addition to Megos, the other things I collect/spend my "spare" money on are:
comic books
DC Direct - 6" and 13" deluxe
Star Wars - 3 3/4" and 12" Sideshow
video games
JLU
on occasion, Transformers
Marvel Legends
Hey! Where's the waiter with the water for my daughter?
Vintage Star Wars Action Figures
Silver and Bronze age Comic Books (make mine Marvel)
and Now Mego...
Since the Mego obsession...I have decided to simply pick up toys that I enjoyed as a kid. Did anyone own these little flintstone figures by Imperial in the early 70's....
This sort of figure was the first I hunted down...They bring back distinct memories for me...I only had the fred flintstone left over...so I hunted the rest down on ebay. they were cheap...and I am glad I have all of them again! I will now display them in my daughter's room.
Now I am content searching for Megos...I also want to get the vintage 12" Star Wars.
I would collect NEW figures..but there are TOO MANY

I get the impression that you're really into Starsky and Hutch... Oh, no, no, please, don't be surprised... I'm very sensitive -- some say psychic -- about these kind of things... People are often amazed at how in tune I am...
Seriously, though, the car is very cool. I'll bet that when you drive down the street you see people's faces erupting into smiles when they notice you. Well, people who know S&H...
I collect GI Joes and his various cousins from around the World. Captain Action too (PM version).
I'm crazy about slot cars. I've got a customized Eldon Crash Car Derby Track (3 intersections instead of 1) and a customized Scalextric Track. I have a modest collection of Slot Cars -- all runners.
Plastic models -- the repops of the 1960's hits. I've got numerous Polar Lights, and other classics like the Monkee Mobile. I haven't built any yet... I'm just in acquisition mode.
SPCA dogs. 2 right now: an Irish Wolfhound / Collie cross, and an Otterhound / Briard cross. They're both pretty big... And time consuming... They like the taste of Action Figures; Slot cars make them crazy...
In the Southeast Pacific, lies the sunken city of R'Leyh. There lies C'thulhu waits to return to our world with the other Great Old Ones. A hideous creature of enormous size and alien power, it waits for it's time to return patiently. For it has all the time in the world while it waits for the stars.
