What is something that you have collected in the past or are currently collecting?

[archbrix]

I collect Transformer reissues from Gen 1 only (the ones from the '80s. I couldn't care less about Gen 2 to present day figures). Companies like Takara and Encore re-released several of the original figures with the same retro box art and many of these figures (particularly the 21 Takara Japanese reissues with the Dreamwave art) are now worth hundreds of dollars if C10 and unopened, though that doesn't really matter to me as I don't ever plan on selling them.

It's mostly a nostalgia thing for me and they're for display purposes only, although the kid in me is just dying to open them, transform them a few times and apply the stickers, but I've refrained from doing so thus far.
