Welcome to the Toyark!

I think this might be better suited to the "Welcome" forum, as it's an introduction thread. So moved.

And I've have to agree about you being a heavyweight in the realm of Marvel toys, because it sounds like you're already there. I think quantity over quality would make you a heavyweight. Sure, it's awesome when someone has a few super rare items in his/her collection. But if that's the extent of it, then it's not that special unless they are part of a larger overall collection (be it a single line, multiple lines, a brand or a even just a theme).

To me, heavyweights are the ones who have complete or near-complete toy lines and/or 100's of figures as part of their collections. For example, I consider myself an avid MU collector since I have about 60 or so figures from that liine (aside from a few exceptions, I only collect the single pack figs). Certainly not in the realm of heavyweight.

However, I do consider myself a heavyweight when it comes to Transformers. My collection is currently somewhere around 950-960 TF toys dating from 1984 to present.
