I collect ME Joes and Vehciles, Vintage Joe vehciles, Sideshow Joes (no troops just proper characters) and am slowly restoring my old Vintage figures. I'm up to 1984.
In addition I collect; 1:18 scale non Joe Military Vehicles. I love the added realism to my Joe and Cobra forces. From the better BBI or 21st Cent ones to the cheaper Bravo Team Target (still pretty good especially for kids) ones down to the crappy TRU and WPKs Spin offs. Love the cheap TRU Apache in black and the Blackhawk for Cobra Air support. MotU Classics (modern). I got into these late as I was avoiding spending more cash but once I saw them in person at NYC CC a couple years back and few in love with them. Lovely figures honestly. And I appreciate having to buy each character only once! I don't go in for the He-Man/Skeletor/Hordak gimmick figures. Transformers M.P. and only M.P. (only 1984 characters but admittedly did get SmokeScreen who looked too good to pass on and held off on Sky Warp who I'm hoping will be available in the new MP 11 model soon.) These figures are also lovely and seem to be getting better with each release! Marvel Universe (now Avengers Infinite) but I cherry pick 1980,90s, characters and whoever else looks really good. Star wars GG retro 12" figures for my children (got everything but Hoth versions) and Star Wars Sideshow. Mostly Jedis, Bounty Hunters, and anything from Jabba's Palace that looks good and anything from the Cantina. Episode 4-6 characters only. I started picking up some of the new Hasbro Vintage Star Wars stuff but only out of bordem and I'm only cherry picking what looks good. Grabbed all of the Jedi and when the AT AT went on sale I grabbed it for 99. Never had the old AT AT and wanted to fill that childhood void. P.S. GI Joe is the only line where I troop build but if I continue to buy Hasbro's Star Wars vintage figures that may change. Always wanted to reenact he scene from 'Jedi when the Emperor enters the Death Star. Now I need t fix up my old 1977 Death Star, only have the elevator left. Also I forgot the old LJN Dungeons and Dragons. Love the articulated figures, the hard cast some are pretty cool too. So upset that Grimsword is so expensive though. My childhood one was broken and I'd like to replace it but more's the pity.

Joes and Hot Toys/Sideshow Collectibles for me.
I'm really thinking about giving up the Hot Toys though. At $200-300 each, they really eat up a lot of my collecting cash. Right now, I have about $3000 worth of those.

I mainly collect GI Joes, but if I see a good price on something else I am interested in like Transformers (Masterpiece or vintage), He Man (vintage or collectors), Star Wars or M.A.S.K, I will buy it.
I just bought the new Castle Grayskull and I really wish modern GI Joe had something that cool. |

I collect a little bit of everything. Spawn, Wetworks, Hot Wheels. Johnny Lightning, Star Wars...etc. But, the bulk of my collection is G.I. Joe. I played with the 12" ones when I was much younger and in all honesty, hated the 3 3/4" inch ones when they first came out. But, then I bought a couple and the little guys grew on me. I haven't bought a 12" one in years. I collect mostly MOC or MIP because I dislike having to hunt down accessories. I like everything together and in one place. And I'm past the age of "playing" with them. I used to when my daughter was younger. It was just one of the ways that we bonded. That and video games. Now, she's in her twenties and working takes up most of her time and she moved out a couple of years ago.

GI Joe for the most part.
Street Fighter Minimates, old Battle Beasts, and random Lego Minifigures round it all out. |

I'm strictly GI Joe, though I used to collect comics and baseball cards as well. Those have since been sitting and I haven't bought any of either in years.

1/18 is my main focus-Star Wars, Joe, Marvel, and DC's modern lines. But also include other lines in the same scale-Indiana Jones, Mortal Kombat, A-Team, Crysis 2, PTE, Robocop, Hellboy, Terminator Salvation, Powerlords.
Have a few Transformers mostly movie versions, but have MP Optimus. A few 1/6 scale of Joes and Marvel. Some 6inch of Star Wars, ML, and DCUC figures.
