I was wondering what, and how, you guys collect. Do you only collect carded figures, loose or both? All ThunderCats items, from figures to socks to pencil-toppers or just the LJN stuff? Do you have a focus in your collection, like just Lion-O or Mumm-Ra? What items are you drawn too and which absolutly not? I'd love to hear from you!

I collect pretty much anything Thundercats. I have a nearly 100% complete line of LJN stuff. Only missing a Stilt Runner and Pumyra's sling. So for a while I have been after foreign variants, misc items, and oddities. I generally tend to say away from the noveltee items like the socks, kites, shoes, belts, etc. I do however have a large collection of the roleplay toys.

I used to just collect the LJN figures. Had almost all of them with the exception of the Rampagers and young Tygra, but sadly I sold the entire collection a few years ago. I did collect the Bandai toys at first but I wasn't much of a fan of the 2011 series so sold them off.
With previous experience with Mattel I decided not to collect the Classics figures.
The only Thundercats merchandise I have now is the DVDs, a VHS, some childhood Marvel UK comics and Annual and a couple T-shirts.
Perhaps one day I will try and collect the vintage LJN toys again but to be honest I have no great desire to do that as I collect bits and pieces from various other toylines I am interested in like TMNT, Transformers, Ghostbusters, Bravestarr, Marvel/DC, Star Wars etc.

I collect all of my favorite toy lines from my childhood- primarily 80s toylines. ThunderCats is by far my favorite toy line. Right now I’m sticking to just the LJN figures and selling off everything else. I collect ThunderCats, G1 Transformers, TMNT, Real Ghostbusters, LJN WWF Wrestling Superstars, G.I. Joe, He-Man MOTU, Silverhawks, C.O.P.S, Swamp Thing, Street Fighter. I try to stick just to MOC figures and vehicles with the box. It’s a labor of love lol

Just vintage for me. I tried collecting more recent toy lines but it didn’t hold that vintage charm or history. My all time favorite would have to be Thundercats followed by almost any 80’s toy line. I have a decent collection of Thundercats prototypes which I cherish but it’s a very slow process due to the commanding prices. I’ve currently taken it easy regarding adding much to the toy room but I’m always keeping an eye out and possible additions.

I to almost had a full set of LJN stuff I had to sell off about 13 years ago or so (Including US Carded Stinger and Driller - and I got ripped off on that. grr. But thats another story.) I have almost all the Bandai Toys. Have the Mattel set. The Mini-Mates. Dorbz. Got a few odds and ends of other stuff (Comics, Party Supplies, Shirts, Books, Coloringbooks, etc). I usually just keep my eye open for a good deal and then jump on it. It's not like are obscure property we love has the array of stuff behind is as the other 80's properties, so if something new thundercats come along I tend to try to pick it up.

I collect Thundercats, loose, MOC, MIB. LJN & Kidworks and just some things I like. I've a large GI Joe collection and a large M.A.S.K. collection. Some Turtles and Transformers.
For the loose LJN collection I just need the Lair, the Tongue-a-Saurus and a Luna-Lasher Mumm-Ra and the black Laser Sabers.
Those first three will cost me a sh*tload of money :P So I'm trying to save some more money. Goal is to make those last 4 purchases this year.

The bulk of my collection is Thundercats. I've started to collect the pocket money range for thundercats, which is hard to do track down. I also collect bravestarr, TMNT, ghostbusters, captain plant. I mainly just collect what I remember as a kick for those ranges. I also have a vast Beano collection which goes back to 1950's, matchbox cars from 80s/90s and finally signed football shirts.. a few things to keep me busy.

I’ve been mainly a vintage Star Wars collector for most of my life. I recently started collecting other various favorite toy lines from my childhood. I collect Thundercats, M.A.S.K, G.I. Joe, Transformers, MOTU, and comics. It’s so much fun to relive my childhood memories through these awesome toys!

Just started to pick up some vintage Nintendo games. Def not looking to complete the library but I will try to pick up some of the sentimental titles I had as a kid along with a few of the "must haves"
