What makes you keep collecting them?

It was a brisk afternoon in October of 2010; I walked into TRU to check the Transformers aisle when I saw an employee unpacking Galactus. I picked one up, stared at the box art and huge dio on the back for about ten minutes, then put it down because "I don't collect MU,.. only Transformers & Star Wars." Later that evening as I watched the Phillies eliminate the Red in the NLDS, I kept hearing "I am power incarnate" in my head... the very next day I went back and bought Galactus (using a $5 TRU rewards coupon) for $45 thinking he was too cool to pass, but I don't need anymore MU figs... just this one because it was different.

Yeah right.

The next week I went back to TRU and bought Colossus & The Juggernaut. A little over a year later and I have over 100 of these little bastards, including the two big mofos (Galactus & Sentinel).

I've always been a big Marvel fan, so the interest was always there; I just didn't want to expand my TF collecting habit to other things. I'm glad I did because I have as much fun collecting & posing these guys as I do any other thing I've collected and considering how cheap they are, I will be continuing.
