Exclamation Featured Collections - under 100 toys.

Quite a few members are new to collecting, have limited funds, or are just very selective in what they collect. Either way, the size of a collection should not be judged big or small, as that just intimidates some collectors from ever showing off what it is that makes them proud of their collection.

So this is the topic for those of you with 100 toys or less, who may feel that other members here wouldn't be interested in seeing your collection, or fearing that we would consider it to be insignificant. On the contrary, we are interested in seeing any collection, and reading about what has made you choose those certain toys you are proud to have as your own.

From my own discussions with members, I've found it more inspiring and interesting to hear a person's feelings on selected individual toys, because they've had the time to focus and bond with each toy, instead of acquiring hundreds of toys and being unable to appreciate every single one of them.

Don't be shy.
Post up a photo or two in this topic, and let us know what inspires you, and why you've got certain figures in your collection.

Other members can leave brief comments on what you post up, but the focus of this topic is to reassure new and selective collectors, that your interest in the toys is just as important and valued as anyone else's, no matter how many toys you own.

From my POV, I actually find 'selective' collections more interesting to see and / or read about because there is an obvious thought process that goes behind each toy rather than mass-purchasing for the sake of building a collection overnight.

I really hope people use this thread Great idea Griffin.

So I guess I'll get things rolling.. I am in no way a completist, I only buy characters that I really like, or that I find awesome in a design perspective.

At the moment I have TF:A, Robot Heroes and Masterpiece. I still want to get more Animated toys because I love that series, and the toys are so fun to play with! I am searching for a Takara MP Prime, then that'll be that completed for my taste I want to start on Binaltech as well, as I find those alt mode designs as well as the bot forms absolutely sexy!

So thats me as a collector. Have some pics

Awesome collection Towers_Spy. I'm a big fan of RH although I don't have many myself.

Where did the bed sheet and pillow set come from? I've never seen that before.

Cheers guys, I'm rather fond of my modest collection

Haha yes, my lovely Narsil, and his buddy El Cid. One day when I get my own place they'll be mounted on my wall for sure

As for the bedsheets, I have no idea where they came from.. I got them as a gift for christmas I've a feeling it might've been Kmart or Target though.
