Ooops! That's what I get for posting while on the phone... 
Now, to the topic:
While my budget doesn't allow for much, I have really come to like the Marvel Figure Factory line. The concept is very similar to Gentle Giant's Bust-ups, but takes it a step further in making them small action scenes. Having been a comic book fan during the "quiet years" (late 80s-early 90s) this fits with my love for Marvel characters and is cheaper than collecting all the busts that have come out in the recent years.
This is the thread to discuss all toys/collectibles outside of Star Wars. All toyline are open for discussion!

I actually do not collect anything else. Collecting anything else would be entirely too expensive.

I collect Buffy/Angel figures and the ocassional Marvel Legends. I used to collect more non-SW figures, but I've had to prioritize because of the large amount of SW stuff I want to get.

I try not to collect too much more than SW, but I do have to pick up every Punisher figure, and have an extensive Superman/Batman collection as well. I also have all the NECA Nightmare Before Christmas figures, and am totally sold on Medi-com's Spiderman line. I guess it all depends on how much I like the characters and if I like the sculpts.

Once I have sorted out my star wars room then I am tempted to get some of the other toys lines I used to have during the 80's as a kid, I look at he-man figures online right now and get goose bumps so having them in my collection will send me wild.

When I discovered eBay, Star Wars was not what I was bidding on, that was when I discovered that there was Babylon 5 merchandise that I had never seen or heard of. I went crazy collecting as many of the figures, 12", and models as I could find. Right now, they are all in boxes, but I plan to make a place for them when I have finished getting all the SW stuff I want to display arranged.

After SW, books take up most of the rest of the available space in my flat.

No. I don't really collect any other line, mainly because the other lines don't have the detail the SW line does.
I do collect the Art Asylum Star Trek ships.
I also have some hard to find LOTR movie toys.

I'll pick up some A-Team stuff if it's within my price range. I'll also dabble in some wrestling stuff, though it's generally old school stuff revolving around Ric Flair and the old Mid-Atlantic region of the NWA.

Alright - so SW is my primary focus, however, I do collect some X-Files stuff, Indiana Jones figures, some Harry Potter, and 11 1/2" & 16" fashion dolls.
I tend to go in spurts - I get obsessed w/ one thing - then I switch over to something else, then I go back to the other collection, etc.
Bottom line...I have WAY too much stuff!

^ What do you pick up from that line? Comics? There aren't any figures out yet from that show...I'll be in trouble when those come out.
I'm actually going to start working on my own line of Barbies and GI Joes who're customized to be the New Battlestar Galactica line of 12" figures
