    Best scores of 2012 and collecting aspirations for 2013...

    This past year was my slowest in a long time, but still managed to score a couple of gems...



    Hoping 2013 allows me to complete my MOC Pocket Super Heroes run or at least add a few cards to my burgeoning CAH collection.

    What was your best score of 2012 and what do you hope to add in 2013?

    Happy New year!!!

    Great finds!
    I always keep my aspirations low, so anything I stumble across is a great find for me

      I started actively collecting again in Jan 12, and I think my best score of the year was right here on the boards, a super nice loose Thor for a great price. Next year I hope to gather a loose Fantastic Four set of megos

        Congrats on completing the pockets! Good luck on the CAH.

        I managed to finish the Lincoln Monsters off this year, it wasn't cheap but I'm really happy about it.

        Currently, I have little to no collecting goals, totally satisfied, I'm thinking about downsizing a little bit to be honest.

            Im just plodding along, still need a few pieces here and there, but in no rush to finish. Certainly picked up some nice pieces though, and my highlight has infact been recently, Robin Hood , Paul Marrow :space 1999 and finally pulled the trigger for a Kit Weeler for a cracking price.

                Very nice... Good luck in 2013

                Without question my acquisition of the Diamond Suit and Broken Circle suit from Derek (MEGOSPIDY)

                Hopefully I will be able to add the Grayson and Kent AE in 2013 to fill out that set.

                    I signed up inthe museum this summer and have been able to buy The Human Torch, Joker, Riddler, Thing, Mr. Fantastic, Invisible Girl, Wonder Woman, and custom outfits for Daredevil and Tarzan from Leitner. I was also able to buy the new retro Green Arrow, Two Face, Sinestro, Batman and Aquaman. I then bought Dr. Mc Coy and Mr. Spock to add to my retro Star Trek figures. Hopefully any day now the parts to finish Space Ghost and King Pin will arrive in the mail. I still need to find Conan, Iron Man, Super Girl, Batgirl and Thor this year.

                        I had a pretty good year, I finally acquired a major grail of mine, a boxed Kenner Alien. Plus, I finished off the set of magnetic Black Hole robots, and managed to snag two Japanese Bullmark/Mego POTA figures, so I'm pretty satisifed.

                        I've spent way too much money between toys and Christmas over the past couple months, so I think I'll take a bit of a break for a couple months, but next year I'll probably focus on getting some more Shogun Warriors, try to work on my Kenner Star Wars large size figure collection, and see if I can track down some decent Bullmark Godzilla vinyls. I'll probably thin out some of my extraneous stuff too, in order to drum up a bit of cash for new toys.

                          I finally got my Jokermobile after searching for a couple of years. Now, I guess I'm looking for a Batcycle and a couple of customs. Non-Mego, I finished my Remco mini-monsters and hope to get the Monsterizer. My best scores were a couple of hidden lots that bought my Jokermobile, repro Mad Monster castle and minimonsters.

                            Well, I just started collecting WGSH in 2012. I have a pretty good start. I'll be searching for a mint boxed Thor and Lizard in the upcoming year. Would love to have a complete loose set.
                            Plus I'm really looking forward to attending my first Mego meet.

                              Best score Mego- Boxed Baron Karza
                              Best score non-Mego- Boxed Mr. Mercury

                              I got what I think is a great deal on both.

                              collecting aspirations for the new year- way to many to list, but how I haven't added a Eletroman Zogg to my collection when I see them go for under $30 is beyond me. I'd like to finish off the Tomland 8" figures as well.
