"The Newest Line I'm Into" Thread
 

So this thread is pretty self-explanatory, it's a thread dedicated to the newest line of action figures you're into. Here you can post pics, but also give a little backstory as to why you're now into this toyline. Is it just an urge? Is it a line you'll actually stick with? What's the story? I also apologize if there's a thread already like this, if there is, then a simple merge is in order.

I'll start it off, recently I got into Street Fighter figures. After doing a trade with Behindthemask and getting a NECA Ryu figure, I've been wanting more ever since. It was just a matter of getting NECA, or SOTA figures. I figured I'd go with NECA because I already have a NECA Ryu. But after doing some research, I found out NECA did barely any figures and SOTA did a whole lot. So SOTA is the line for me. I've started my SOTA collection already by getting a Blanka figure, but I'm hoping to have a lot more in the future.

This may be the "feeling of the moment" kinda thing, but this very well be my favourite toyline that I have. It's well detailed, interchangeable hands and head, accessories, articulation, everything to keep me enticed.

So now I ask you, what's the newest line you're into?

Transformers Prime baby! Voyager's, Deluxe and Legion for me only.

Transformers Prime all the way.

I'm not a big GI Joe collector but...
GI Joe retaliation is starting to get me excited and the recent waves of the line have been sweet as hell.

I'm also hooked on Halo megabloks minifigs and trying to fight getting hooked on the marvel ones to go with them(at least cap, ironman, and wolverine). Which I do gotta say, the minifigs go fantastic with Prime cyberverse arcee and the human aliance scout figures.

Marvel Megabloks Minis is my new thing, I always have to buy one where ever I see them.

Started about a month ago when I saw them on clearance at a WalMart for a buck. I bought all they had left, about 5-6.

Now I want them all for the Avengers Helicarrier when it comes out.

Plus I love the blind pack aspect of it, makes it fun.

Other than that I buy what appeals to me regardless of line.

@Snowflakian, you and me both with Megabloks.

Their weapons work with Cyberverse figures too!

I must admit Transformers Kreos are too cute to pass up, Bot shots too.

Ya the Botshots are def cute, but glad I went with the Legion ones instead, more articulation:P
Hasbro is def. going gold with these new Transformers Prime stuff.

Motuc

Seems like Transformers Prime is the new thing. Is anyone having trouble finding certain figures?

iam thinking about the marvel legos the sets look pretty dope. and i have alot of the marvel megabloks stuff so i can use both for the sets and such.. hmm

I've gotten into terminator. I love NECA and have a few predators, robocop and anya from GoW3. basically anything NECA i am a sucker for. Although, I wish my Terminator from the first movie had articulation. His arms and head move. Lower body, not so much

I'm not, but if you do find that Starscream and Bumblebee ET pack you know who to PM!

They work with the clip system too. Which makes it even harder to pass them up.

My ROTF Brawn is now forever a halo battle jeep with one guy in the back, and one hanging on side shooting.
If hasbro ever releases the green warpath remold into hardhead, I'll be using that as the scorpion tank for my halo minifigs. They also sit perfectly in the HA jeep, and I have the covenant using the snowspeeder as a pilotable mech. xD

I'll certainly keep an eye out

There's a local comicshop where I got Ryu from and they have like almost every Neca StreetFighter figure. If you want/need certain ones I can let you know, if he has them and how much, typically buddy was chargin like 18-22/figure moc, but they've been there for a while so he may give a better deal for a bulk lot.....

I've been trying to finish my Ironman armoury, I keep picking away at the Marvel Universe lines, with ebay lots, fellow arkers, and local retail. I've always wanted to start collecting Hellboy figures. I want to buy like a massive loose collection for a good price as his moc/mib figures go for a good chunk of change on ebay. I don't want to piece the collection together either unless it's a fair price. Especially factoring in shipping and exchange rates. I would also like to get the new gremlins lines done at some point, But that's kinda a back burner line to collect for me.

K-K-K-K-K-K... Ken?

Just scored a SOTA Guile figure. Doooope.

I'm really enjoying collecting the NECA Predators, which is a change from Transformers. I can count myself lucky I suppose, because my figures have no paint problems or broken joints. Might also get some HALO figures.

My lcs has absolute mountains of Predator figures. I was thinking about maybe getting some myself.

I LOVE them. The halo guys are nice too. However, they dont have holes for stands

LCS has SHITLOADS of Halo figures too. Maybe more than Pred.

Little overpriced though. I'd rather spend $20 on a Pred figure rather than $19 on a Halo figure.

We think alike LOL. I have slowly been hammering away at this custom Halo combiner using Warpath as a Scorpion, and 5 Dunerunner figures as Warthogs. I have the combination mods done, and am casting Warthog windshields and fenders for the Dunerunner figs.

Made to work with Halo Megabloks, the covenant doesn't stand a chance with six combing robots raining hell on 'em!

That's a pretty cool looking custom, Hank. Make sure you create a WIP thread in the Creative forum so we can follow your progress.

As for new lines for me, there's a few new ones. I'm not sure if I can count Transformers Prime, since I've been collecting them consistantly for about 28 years now and Prime is just the latest version.

Aside from that, this is the first year (or so) that I've actively collected Power Rangers. Mostly the Zords from PR Samurai, but I have some of the figures as well. Also got in on the Marvel MegaBloks, but it looks like I probably won't get Series three unless I go on Ebay or the BST forums, especially now that the Marvel Legos are being sighted at retail. I've seen plenty of MegaBloks Series 1 and 2, but I've only seen 3 once.

I can't really count Star Wars or Joes in this, as I've never really stopped collecting them. I just severely cut down on how many I buy now.

Here in Britishmanland, I wanted the AVPR figures for years but could never find them. The fact I refused to go into my local sci-Fi store (Forbidden Planet) for the sole reason they (used to) sell Child's Play/Chucky merchandise doesn't help.

But a few weeks ago, after finding some Preds in another store, I finally went into FP to find no Chucky and a crapton of Predators. They had everyone but the Masked Classic (which is a bit of a letdown but hey!) so now I've swapped Transformers, which my parents claim I've outgrown anyway, and in all truth they haven't moved off my shelf in a couple of months. So now I'm collecting the Predator stuff I hunted for years!

(Also, Snowflakian, I had the same idea with the Halo mega bloks. Too bad I'm missing most of them now, would give Brawn a purpose on my shelf.)

went on a hunt this morning and found some of the marvel legos :) now iam hooked :( gotta find that deadpool set.
