What kind of Star Trek stuff do you like?
I watched a lot of TNG growing up and had a bunch of Playmates stuff including the bridge of the Enterprise.
I love the ships, I have most of the main ships from the old Playmates Line [Really glad I was able to Snag Voyager and Defiant from a friend of mine who was moving and I scooped those up CHEAP From him] I do like the Diamond Select stuff the newer stuff looks good the Trek figures I have out on display are mainly the Diamond Select Figures the TNG Series ones and the TWOK Series ones.
The TWOK Phaser I have on display too, would love for them to release the Assault Phaser as well. One thing I'd love to get woudl be that ultra expensive Tricorder Prop that's out and a Thousand Plus bucks for that Phaser Rifle that Entertainment Earth Has.
In fact I'd love to get it to where I can have me a Chair that looks like Captain Sisko's Chair....in fact I do need to find the DST Captain Sisko with Captain's Chair to finish off that [and a few other Enterprise Figures too still need to locate the Enterprise Bridge Sets and maybe the Phase Pistol and Communicator from that series and the elusive Mirror Enterprise from Enterprise as well]
I mean there will always be some items out there still to get but right now I'm satisfied....Plus you know collecting toys beyond age 27 sounds kinda weird possibly -Maybe depends on things I guess- I have been outgrowing stuff this past year first off was starting to outgrow forums and wasting time online so moving forward.
Interesting fact for you all if you don't already know is I am a disabled individual,to have acquired this much and worked this much on my collection and everything else well...it's a pretty good accomplishment.
[I have aspergers, and some physical defects due to my genetics and lack of some fine hand eye coordination due to a surgery I had years ago when I was in middle school -one of those life changing things there-so with things sorta stacked against me so to speak I think I've beaten the odds for now]
The Great thing I have learned over the years is this:
My Collection has paid for itself most times, given what's been spent on a majority of what I've sold and how much I made which in turn allowed me to get more items each month and then repeat the process I've managed to literally on a very tight budget expand out allot and when needed to cut back when things get tight.
Along with dealing with obsessive urges at times which lead to impulse buys, I've dealt with those now too so Toys really right now don't hold much interest to me since I don't play with em. I let my nephew play with some figures now when he comes so next time they come this way he'll have some cool toys to play with [I've always sent some back with him too but my brother said he had too many of em, in fact he has my first collection which was Turtles Figures from the 80's which has the Sewer Den and Technodrome]
So I mean when the Terror Drome arrives I know for afact I'm gonna Retire after that I might just be too busy doing sales and clearing stuff out.
I'm sure that once I get tired of some more figures and do one last major "Pruning" So to speak of this collection....just one other thing I'm glad about is finally getting out of some debt -partially due to this collection as well- this month that means I get to keep my profits finally.
