Does anyone still collect toys?

[Sammy Boy]

I don't know if I am the only adult that still collects toys.

As far as I know though, none of my close friends do, and I feel like someone who will never "grow up" (but I don't think collecting toys indicates that one is childish).

So I was wondering if any of you still collect toys? I don't mean that you have to be a completist to consider yourself a collector, just that you like buying toys in general.

I still collect LEGO (the classic space stuff) and Transformers (the new universe line).

I have action figures and legos lol ^^

I'm a very casual collector, as in, I just get what I want if it's cheap and is nice. I've got an 8 inch theater exclusive that I practically stole (awesome deal) and three 6 inch Bandai Godzilla figures, some Konami Figumate Gamera toys that I adore, and a Takara microman that fits inside a rubber Gamera suit.

So yeah, it did feel a little bit weird to get into figures and toys and mess at an older age and all, but once I got my first one it was leik, holy crap awesooome.

I collect 80s toys, and we also sometimes buy Transformers or Star Wars toys.

I have a small amount of anime figurines, though it has to be something I'm really into to collect. This includes the set of Trigun Maximum PVC figures, the Gundam Zeta pencil sharpeners in the big box set, an alligator playing an accordion, a Vash the Stampede from McFarlane (with Kuronekosama), an SD Ken from Street Fighter, a Jin Saotome PVC from Cyberbots (MvC/MvC2), the SFIV Ryu, and.......a Richard Wagner and Albert Einstein.....yeah.

I collect die cast cars and truck models. Mostly fire apparatus. Matchbox, Code 3, Hot Wheels or anything interesting. I even like helicopter models.

Wow, that's really interesting, thanks for all your responses.

Today I bought a LEGO book online. It basically has pictures and descriptions of all the LEGO sets released in the past 50 years. I look at it when I catch the train on the way to work - and noticed some people giving me funny glances (they must be thinking why an adult would be so engrossed in a LEGO book).

Stopped collecting a lot unless I really felt it would add aesthetic value to my surroundings. I've got some WoW figurines, some other gaming related stuff and this awesome animated style maquette of Princess Leia on my mantle. But yeah, beyond figures with obvious artistic value, I don't really do it much anymore.

If video games count as toys, then I still collect toys. Otherwise, I don't. I used to collect Hot Wheels and Star Wars figurines, though.

Not really sure you call them toys. Maybe big pricey toys for men, but I have a model railroad.

Not as much as I used to, but that's mainly because I am broke and in dire need of updating my wardrobe. |D

These days my interests lean toward Asian dolls. I'm keeping my eye out for a decent western brand, but so far I've had no luck.

Meant to post these last night, but imageshack was being a pain.

Photos of my model railroad.

Oh, it totally slipped my mind.

While I don't collect toys so much these days; I am very fond of children's book. Especially the illustrated variety. Yesterday the teller did a double take when I said the book I was buying wasn't a gift.

And nice model railroad Roy! o.o It looks huge.

I collect a lot of toku stuff that comes out, I'm actually trying to collect all the Decade FFR figures. I have a lot of the toy belts, and wish to get some more (though it's doubtful since I'm currently unemployed).
