Aside from megos, where does your collecting $$$ go?

[starsky]

i got lucky with the torino. it was garaged and was kept in great condition. when i got it, the plastic seat covers were still on the car. ford made about 1000 cars with the s&h paint theme back in 1976 since the show was so popular.

Great car, Starsky!!!

Anyhow, other than Mego, I collect 1:6 scale figures, and vintage WWII United States military clothing and filed gear. I would like to also collect Super Powers, FP Adventure People and guitars, eventually.

Well, everything has been done except for the paint...and at the moment is getting an all brand new electrical wiring throughout...so it's almost there...man...it's been two years trying to finish that sucker, lol.

[starsky]

what color will it be?

[Hector]

I'm leaning towards Rangoon Red.

[starsky]

that'll look nice. are you planning on keeping the original wheels or pimpin it out?

[Hector]

I removed the hubcaps...now it has these...



American Racing Torque Thrust D's...very similar to Steve McQueen's fastback wheels in Bullit.

[starsky]

Mainly Aussie released vintage toys, Toltoys branded if possible, focused on Star Wars. Also Shogun Warriors big and small, Hotwheels Redline BPs, Batman & Spidey vintage toys, Corgi & Dinky TV/Film tie ins, Matchbox regular-wheels and Superfast MIB, Kenbrite Playmobil, Licensed vintage Ice-cream wrappers, boxes and advertising material, Australian issue vintage toys catalogues, MOC / MIB Indiana Jones and toy reference books.

Just generally interested in fun stuff from the late 50's to about '85 or so.

Used to have collections of various seriousness in Nintendo Game & Watch, Ideal Evel Knievel & vintage space tin toys & robots, but decided to 'focus', and as you can see I've done a hell of a job.

Cheers!
Will

PS - Forgot about vintage 12" Joe and AM general NMIB, how could I?

Sadly Megos have moved down my list of collecting as of late. I am spending more on DVDs (horror, grindhouse etc) Shunya Yama****a, Aoshima and other Anime PVC statues, some newer Star Wars and GI Joes, and the new DC Deluxe figures when I can afford them.

My 68 Shelby Mustang. Acapulco Blue, with white stripes. It is 97% complete and will be shown at as many car shows as I can get it into this summer. It has been 20 years in the building and restoring. Picturs will follow for any interested. I'm so happy!!!
