Toys that you collect

Anyone here collect toys? Ever since I got my job I've been collecting them off the internet.

I bought this.

But they delivered this.

How could they mess up that bad?

Anybody else order any toys or get any bad packages lately?

I used to collect the Movie Maniac series from McFarland when they first came out. I think I have the complete series 1,2 and 3. I still have them all sealed actually, I guess I went through a collecting phase when I was 16. Probably sell them in a few years, I don't think they're worth all that much more than I actually payed for them, though the "extra bloody" Jason, Freddy and Leatherface ones I have are sort of rare. I've occassioned the odd figure since then but only when I've really liked it, and I've never kept carded figures since those Movie Maniacs. The 12" HR Giger Alien and Darkness from Legend that I have are pretty cool, and the two Iron Maiden displays are some of my favorites. I have a couple from the Conan line as well. I guess I'm a McFarland guy. Other than my Bender coinbank and my old Transformers and Star Wars figures that I've miraculously hung on to somehow. Actually I have three or four sealed Episode I figures, I have no idea why I bought them or why I still have them--what can I say, we all got sucked into the hype in some form or another.

Are the old Transformers worth anything?

I got the other figure today and got to keep the other one.  I am so happy. I love Evangelion. I got 2 $50 figure for half the price.

The old transformers are worth lots if they are in the package but how many people kept them in the box? Otherwise, no, they're not worth much, though they went up in value a bit with the new movie that came out.
