So what is your age? Not quiet an introduction

[mrdbios]

I'm 38 and have been collecting since high school, so around 20 years.

I do t plan on stopping any time soon, but my focus has shifted through my entire collecting career. It started with small action figures and is currently transitioning to more statues. I think that's part of the fun for me to shift my focus and change out pieces as I go.

Im 43 yrs old and I started collecting 12 fig in the 1998 with hasbro figs. Then I say sideshow and thought wow 59.00 that is expensive, but my last figure I bought was the imperial probe droid and that was 250.00 bucks. Man times have changed. Now I have all the original trilogy figues by sideshow, and now hot toys has a licence. Man there are dark times coming......financially

That's really cool to see most are in 30s and 40s age groups.

I'm 42 and have been collecting for 15 years. It all started when eBay started. Over the years I have gone from 5-6 inch action figures to 1/6 figures and now statues. My first 1/6 was HT endo. I still collect few 1/6 figures, but mostly interested in 1/3 statues.

Wow it is great to see that most of us are around 30 n 40s. That gives me so much energy to continue this awesome hobby.

43 now. Like many others, I started back in 78 with 3 3/4" Star Wars figures and comic books. My first figure was Darth Vader. Unfortunately, growing up in the lower economic class, toys were scarce for me, so I had to enjoy them at my friends' expense. When the 12" line of Star Wars came out and my friends were buying and playing with them, I was quite jealous I couldn't join them. I always said I'd have my own some day. That never happened. Then in 2011 I stumbled across the Hot Toys Ghost Rider set with Nicholas Cage. It was a used set on ebay. I won it for $300 shipped, and remember thinking how foolish I was to spend so much on a 'toy'. Then it arrived. That feeling was long gone and I haven't looked back since. My first PO was for the SSC Boba Fett, followed by the McGuire red suit Spiderman. Nolan Batman was next. Have over 100 figures now all on display, along with both Batmobiles and BatPod. While I never did get those Kenner 12" figures, I have since collected most all of the SSC 12" offerings and look forward to what Hot Toys brings. Great hobby for sure, but the cost is making it less appealing. I don't feel as 'satisfied' with a purchase as I did when these could all be had for under $150.oo, so my purchase are far more selective, now.

28. I started 1/6 collecting back in 2008 with a few Medi figures. I don't plan on stopping any time soon, although I've slowed a bit due to the price increases from Hot Toys.

Just turned 40 Last month. I've only got 7 Sideshow pieces but I still have all my Star Wars figures I got as a kid. Seeing as how I just started collecting Sideshow 3 years ago I Think I'll stick with it for a while.

I've never collected anything, not really, I just bought what I liked. be it books or toys or whatever.
now I havee a stable job, a place to live and everythings... more settled. now I feel like it's the best time to really start collecting. I have money and spae, so nothing's stopping me

I'm 39 years old. I've been collecting since 1999 & it was the hype surrounding the Phantom Menace that got me into collecting.
