Hi everybody, here's my Star Trek figure collection. I used to collect these back in the day when they were new, have sold off most in the early 2000s, but I'm now collecting the rarer stuff like the various international versions of the figures and vehicles. This line had much more nuance than was known at the time -- the internet was barely a thing back in the day -- so a lot of information that's known now was simply not around despite magazines like Toy Fare, Lee's and Tomart's, which I used to read obsessively.

This line has a reputation for being excessively scalped and stockpiled back in the day, but the joke's on those who overinvested, expecting the action figure bubble to never burst. Now this Star Trek line exists in a binary state: 90% is very cheap and easily findable (shipping is more expensive than the figure), but various rarities that were not well publicized at the time can still command some dough. In the age of eBay it's very easy to build up a collection, but when it comes to rare international packaging it can still be a very difficult to find some items, even with eBay.

I also collect 1990s Star Wars stuff, but mostly just the rare international versions as well.
