Well im a kinda weird collector,my collection is driven by figures that catch my eye(often the more weird and wonderful figures)hence eXtra Force,the GI Joe Toxo-zombie,Zartan,Predacon,and the awesome 12inch Michael Jackson i got for my bday off my GF!!
The one figure who has ALWAYS been a constant for me is Admiral Ackbar,iv always had a massive soft spot for the greatest hero of the Rebel Alliance,the only versions im missing are the Lego,original RoTJ,and Micro machines versions.
Collecting for me is about having fun with toys,many collectors seem to lose their way and have lost that sense of child-like wonder at how amazing toys can be,they get caught up in "the chase" and end up with loads of MoC/MiB stuff,they dont even really like,they just think they need to own. I love the eclectic nature of my collection,even though i dont really see my self as the "conventional collector"
