How much is your collection worth?

[Demonac]

I had an european g1 gold box reissue of wheeljack. His right spoiler was stepped on and now the hole is filled up with the broken peg stuck inside.

With a bit of care and a small enough drill bit, you can remove the broken peg.

Im too lazy now to count even how many Ive got, but yeah it's worth a lot and insured as well. G1 alone would be prolly enough for the downpayment for my house at that time... Im basing this on what Ive spent on it not what the current after market is though. Oh and the fact that I army build on certain figures, and purchase doubles doesn't help with the cost hehehe Ah well Im happy though, that's more important for me.

I have mine insured through my house and contents for a $$$ value, however that has not been updated for a number of years. It's the only value that I'm interest in as I have no plans to ever sell my collection.

[UltraMarginal]

The sense of enjoyment I get from playing with them easily justifies the expense, as does the feeling of accomplishment from acquiring the figures I am after. I often just stand there and stare at my display in admiration (I know it's sad).

Hell, no that aint sad, that's just one of many ways of enjoying the collection, I certainly do that, though part of the staring is trying to decide which one to pickup and tranform.

176 Fellas = $5748.89

Yeah! :P

so accurate

[LordCyrusOmega]

600 toys = approx $100 000. Thats at retail though, probably worth a lot less now. Though the sentimental value is so much more and thats whats important to me

or which one to dust out first... need glass shelves

Retail for me is about $12,000. I have around 400 TFs.

I nearly have all of the Diamond Select Toys and Palisades statues. A lot of cash spent there.

I don't even want to count because I'm going to feel so guilty for spending that much on toys!!!

[reillyd]

I haven't calculated mine accurately, frankly even at around 150 toys it's too much effort, so i feel sorry for the 1000+ collectors on here!

But, i was looking just across my top shelf of Masterpiece, Binaltech etc and that alone clears about 2k. I'd estimate the lot cracks 10k?

When someone asks, i just say it seems like a lot since they're not disposable things (like going out to fancy food places/alcohol/smokes etc), so i can't say it really bothers me (how much i've spent).

So how much do you think your collection is worth, even if it's only a guess?
And how do you feel about it!

This is very very very dangerous Kurd. You should have a standard line, they might seem like a lot, but once you take them out of the box, they lose almost all their value. They'd be hard to find a seller who would even want them now, sigh......


You never want to tell people eg pizza delivery men, casual friends, acquaintances, tht you have a valuable collection.

Not if you want to keep it

Between the Transfomers, figma, statues, Macross and certain anime cels I dont really want to know how much I have blown on this plastic crack.

Even though I have reduced my TF collection, the Takara G1 stuff is usually worth maybe two to three times more than the Hasbro version. So even though its smaller, its actually worth more.
