Toy Hoarders... Top Three?

[kanata67]

I forget who I was talking to about what but during the conversation I had a though. I then had another beer... or two...

anyhow, eventually I sobered up enough to remember the thought premise so here it goes...

So of us here on the board are hoarders. By this I mean than it's not neccissarilly that we want to hoard... but one of our favorite toys comes around at a price we can't say no to... so we don't, even though we already have a few of them sitting on a shelf.

I'm famous for my jetfire fetish. I bid on lord knows how many a month and rarely win, but every jetfire with armor I score in my price range shipped... I'm not gonna complain. It doesn't happen often but the times it does I jump on. Yeah I have a boxed jetfire [or few] but even though I don't need them, and already have enough junker 1/55's to make a custom army from, I still can't help but buy any orginal vf with f/p at a price less than a reissue. Unfortunately not all things can be gotten as cheap as a reissue.

But anyhow... I want to know what toys others hoard. We all can anme a few individualls that have 12x of every 1/48 AND rare stuff like a beta... so I want to limit this to the individuals top three hoarding items. As such... you loved the 1/60 roy strike and bought 30... that counts. Have 1 1/60 signined by the creator AND a taiwanese whore... I don't care and you prbably shouldn't discuss sch stuff Anyways as you bever know who might show up at your wedding

so... what do you have the mostest of? I'll start off with my top three...

#1... jetfires... I actually have no idea and estimate by volume... enough...

#2... zen officers pods. [matchbox till somebody else makes one] 6 complete

#3... Yamato 1/72 vf-19a [in all it's blue goodness] 3, 2 mib and one paint chipped in box.

for extras... as I know there are many like me who wouldn't mind a duplicate at the right price but have yet to find one... I had to bid on, and thankfully win, doubles/multiples of...

gundam 1/100 s-heavy type rx-178 s-heavy speacial 1 mib, 1 cwb, one loose

gundam 1/100 rx-178 musha cloth type [x2 both mib one with poster]

there is other stuff I have stockpiled but nothing cool, especially since godzilla aquired my "army". Just wondering what else everybody else is hording.

:note... I don't mean for this to become a bragging rights in your face thread. We all know some folk can afford 12 of each 1/48 as it comes out. I can't and as such thats not what I ask. I want to know your top three and numbers. You could own 5 transformers... 4 ravage and 1 sound wave... ravage would make your list. 100+ 1/48's... great... which three do you have the most of?

got one of everything... what do you have doubles of? You get the idea. I have many cool toys but I don't "play" with any unless I have a "back-up"{ in case part of a twa 747 falls from the sky destroying it..., or my dog eats it..., or my cats/wife vomit on it..., you get the idea. If somebody only owns four toys, and one of them is a duplicate... I want to know what that duplicate is.

[BoBe-Patt]

[bigkid24]

Since we're being this specific I'm not sure what duplicates I have.....I think these are my top three in no particular order

6 x 1/48 CFs

4 x Lego Tie Fighter

3 x tie (too many to name)

[nightmareB4macross]

I think this is what I have...I\'ll have to check

1. 9 - 1/55 VF-1A Hikaru, Bandai Reissues

2. 13 - 1/55 VF-1S Supers, Bandai Reissues

3. 10 - 1/100 VF-1(s)

**Various other items that I have dups of, but this is where the bulk is.

[cube]

i not a hoarder, im more of a display designer

so 2 of everything that transforms, and 2 of any modern gokin/diecast if it comes in a regular and gucci version. i dont think i have 3 of anything

i did briefly have 5 bandai super reissues, but sold off the valks and kept the armor.

[Hiriyu]

I'm not a hoarder, but I do seem to have a cannon fodder fetish.

5x 1/60 TRU CF

5 or 6x 1/60 CF

1x 1/48 CF

3x 1/55 CF

I have lots of other VF types that are not CFs, but proportionally the CFs are in the majority.

[Mechafan]

Macross

#1 4 x VF-2SS 1/100, 1 original, 3 x reissue.

#2 Banpresto Perfect Transformation, Strike x 12, Super x 9.

#3 Robotech Shadow Morpher x 6

Gundam

#1 Wing Zero x 7, MSIA x 3, 1/100 x 1, 1/60 x 1, SD x 2.

#2 Gundam Meteor 5, 4 x 1/400 and 1 x 1/144

I do have lots of two's, three's, and four's of some.

[myk]

FX X-wing x 7. I just really liked that toy...

[Macross73]

this is hard. I usually try and buy three or four of everything. thats not always possible, though. I've sold off quite a bit now too.

#1 qty 9 Jet Fires Transformers

#2 qty 4 Optimus Prime 20th anniversary

#3 qty 4 VF-1A CF 1/48

[kensei]

I'm not a hoarder, remember that.

VF-1S Roy = 24

VF-1A Max = 13

VF-1A CF = 22

1/48 FAST Packs = 31

[vlenhoff]

1/48:

#1 12 FP(does that count?)

#2 6 GBP armors

#3 4 VF-1S & 4 CFs

I don't even know if a FP would count, but they are quite pricey to not mention them.

[Fortress_Maximus]

Interestingly enough, I don't qualify as a hoarder of any toys and I don't seem to mind.

[kensei]

Looking at the title of this thread initially I thought we were supposed to vote for the top three toy hoarders.

[Fortress_Maximus]

I thought the samething.

[Black Valkyrie]

Macross :

Misa x2.

Gundam :

1- Gundam MK-II x2.

2- Zaku-II x5.

3- Z Gundam x2.

Star Wars :

1- Darth Vader x7.

2- R2-D2 x4.

No need to mention the Stormtroopers.

All of you guys combined cant even begin to compare to some of the hidden hoarders who remain behind the firewall.

Well us small timers got carried away.

Well that would be:

#1 Sithlord

#2 Kensei

#3 ?

[Fortress_Maximus]

Well that would be:

#1 Sithlord

#2 Kensei

#3 ?

Wouldn't #1 be Godzilla or Kensei?

[Mechafan]

Well that would be:

#1 Sithlord

390757[/snapback]

Ouch! I forgot about Godzilla.

[Eternal_D]

11 x 1/48 vf-1s roys

14 x 1/48 FPs

8 x 1/48 CF's

[myk]

Oh, I forgot to mention that I own 3 Bandai Strike Valkyries...

[kanata67]

Oh, I forgot to mention that I own 3 Bandai Strike Valkyries...

391302[/snapback]

oh yeah... ditto.

I think bobe has 5 boxed

[myk]

Yeah. If I had only known that the '48s were coming out just a few years later, I never would have even bothered with the Bandai's...

[jenius]

3 x 1/72 HCM VF-1S

3 x 1/72 HCM VF-1J

3 x 1/72 HCM VF-1A

Uh, Sithlord, if I remember your collection correctly, you have three of FRIGGIN' EVERYTHING. Why did you decide to single out those particular items?

Sad fact, As a rule I don't keep duplicates. The only time I have two of something is when I'm mixing and matching pieces or came across something at such a great deal I'm just holding it for an investment (and the stray "ooops" gift someone gives me).

3 x Rick Hunter MPC (Don't laugh, I bought them as half price for an investment and am hoping eBay will convert them into xmas shopping money this year)

I also have a few extra Alphas but heck if I know which ones at the moment... they'll probably get sold around xmas too

[Skv0ra]

I don't have the $ to hoard anything, but I would hoard VF-19s and clear Gundam MSiA.

[Godzilla]

Well that would be:

#1 Sithlord

#2 Kensei

#3 ?

Wouldn't #1 be Godzilla or Kensei? 

390757[/snapback]

Shhhhhh. I am not a hoarder...oh crap. I need to change my siggy.

[Excillon]

Well, I've since sold them off except for one, but at one time I 7 Devastators + another Mixmaster. That's 43 constructicons! I was really addicted to combiners when I was into TF's (i still have one of each) and here's the breakdown when it was at it's worse give or take a bot :

7 Devastators (and an extra Mixmaster)

5 Bruticus (and an extra Onslaught, Brawl, and Swindle)

5 Superions

3 Predakings (plus an extra Rampage and Tantrum)

3 Computrons

3 Defensors (plus an extra Hot Spot)

2 Menasors

2 Abominus (plus two extra Blot's and an extra Hungrr)

1 Piranacon

That's for a combined total of : 173 Transformers, or 31 Gesalts. God I was sick.

[Deimos]

6x 1/48 VF-1A Low Viz ( who here dun wish to horde more but the price now is )

[jenius]

for you guys with the 1/100 takas... sell them to me! I hate you so much.

[LL Cool VF1J]

Latley, I just been buying 1/55 like a mad man. I think it just that the prices are so cheap now, I have to buy them. I just buy them and stick them in the garage.
