I thought I would start a thread on alternative toylines. Aside from GIJOE is there anything else you collect, you don't have to be using it in diorama's it could be hot wheels or something else.. ?

Here is what I collect and I am interested in besides GIJOE.

A-Team
Comic Book Legends
DC Super Heroes/ Universe Classics
Dukes of Hazzard
Marvel Legends
Metal Gear Solid
Pro Stars
Street Fighter by SOTA Toys.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Yes they are the green machine) :o
Transformers
Wrestling. Mostly Ultimate Warrior and iconic Wrestlers I liked as a kid.

Anyone else collect any of these lines or something else?

Used to collect Star Wars, but got rid of all of them except for the original stuff. I do collect G1 Transformers also.

I do Star Wars, but I mostly cut it out after 25A came around. I only collect clone/storm troopers and bounty hunters. I have a few others but not many. Other than that, I get what I think looks cool. I have some Punishers, a McFarlane robot, a MechWarrior Madcat (used to be hardcore MechWarrior 3 online player) and basically random stuff that I like. I used to be heavily into model trains because it was a more "mature" way to play with toys. Now I dont care and play with what I want.

This is a pretty good cross-section of what I collect:

...So basically, a little bit of everything! ;)

I took some pictures of my "library" and posted them here about a year ago... It's recently undergone some changes, so maybe I should do that again. Besides what you see in these pics, I also have Transformers Classics on display, more Chun-Li merchandise, and lots of comic book posters and lithographs on the walls!

Anything 3 3/4 or works well with joes is all that I collect, haven't got space or money to go beyond that for toys as I buy books, magazines, comics and the World of Warcraft collectible card game so I just stick to priorities :)

I collect only GI Joe... but sometimes buy stuff that are in scale with them (e.g PTE vehicles, 1:18 scale animals etc.) but I cant really say I collect them, as I only have a few other "toys" than GI Joe...

"Anything 3 3/4 or works well with joes...I stick to priorities"

Well said Dzirhan...

If I ever get all my Most Wanted, I think I would move to buy custom figures of my favorite characters (no gi joe).
