i agree, if i started collecting something else it'll never end.
And it's quotes like that which remind me that I should proof read before hitting "submit". Baron - are you sure you want me to type some bios out???? It'll look like "Special Needs Class For the Baron!"

You give my brain more credit than it deserves! Or disrespect my typing! One of the two.

i collect batman animated, justice league unlimited, vintage cobras and 25th cobras plus the odd snake eyes.
i dabble a bit with SW from time to time. seriously debating he man toys at the mo but like most members here space (and a nagging wife) is a real issue.
none of my collections are complete but most are nearly there.

most valuable would be my SDCC solomon grundy varient fig. maybe not the most valuable fig but the most i've ever spent on 1 fig. not too sure but think it cost me about £80 with postage.

1 of my favs is 25th snake eyes with black timber, couldnt score a snake eyes anywhere at the time then scored this little beauty for £1 + postage.

plan to branch out to black hole, buck rogers, vintage BSG and vintage Star Trek.
(give me a shout steve if you decide to sell your buck rogers figs ;-) )

My Action Force Collection at the moment is very small sadly but I do have plans to make it a bit larger. That does mean some of it can be displayed but to be honest its nice to just rotate them.

However I can speak with a bit more experience on my other collection. Sadly all the place is taken up by my Star Wars Collection which has somewhere in the region of 50 carded figures, 100+ loose figures plus nearly all the ships and playsets not to mention the modern stuff. You do get to the stage where you begin to question what you are going to do with it all and if its worth it, but on the other hand it does give you outlets/avenues to explore to keep the whole hobby fresh.

I just need to win the lottery and build a huge display room.

This is one reason why I let my son do the star wars collecting. Its a proxy thing ;-) Modern and vintage. I'd like to see that collection too, ODB. AF carded doesn't get me going that much as we never had those as a lad. Star Wars we did and the 12 back stuff really gets the nerd out.

I might do more when I've made some changes and got my display cases sorted out.
