    I collect too many lines, so when i saw these $35-$50 figures show-up at Toy Shows, i swore i'd never start, because i don't make enough to support this, and i have an extremely addictive nature.
    Well, a year ago (or so) a loose in baggie He-Ro was in the for sale bin at the toy show from the guy who sells mostly GI Joe. I decided that for $15 i could give it a try, and later decided THIS IS THE ONLY ONE I'LL ALLOW MYSELF!
    He became a DCUC character of my recreation. In the HE-Man(oh, i have He-Man, and LOVE the 200X reboot) he shall be an Elseworlds Superman...What If Superman's ship landed in Eternia?
    A twist is that Kryptonite actually BOOSTS his power, but it makes Eternian's sick, so he keeps a nugget on a staff with a shield to conceal it until he REALLY needs it.
    Well, Aug 3 i decided to go for getting BattleCat...didn't come until around the 15th, but I also traded a bunch of stuff to the Flea Market guy, and got one of the Toys R Us 2-Pack with Skeletor. He's really cool, i went to TRU and then got Merman(not sure i like the blue, i'd MUCH rather have the Green, he was one of my fave characters from the 1980s) and Stratos...DARN IT!!! I'm HOOKED!
    Well, you'll see updates to my list occassionally, but for now:
    I REALLY want these:
    0 Kobra Khan
    0 GREEN Mer-Man
    0 Scareglow
    0 Tri-Klops
    0 Whiplash
    0 Faceless One, The
    0 Hordak
    I HAVE THESE
    1 Battle Cat
    1 He-Ro
    1 Merman (TRU 2-Pack Version)
    1 Skeletor (TRU 2-Pack Version)
    1 Stratos (TRU 2-Pack Version)
    And these are still coming to me:
    1 Optikk
    1 Sy-Klone
    1 Zodak
    1 Beast Man
    1 Buzz-Off
    1 Chief Carnivus
    1 Man-E-Faces
    1 Evil-Lyn
    T Faker
    T He-Man
    T Trap Jaw
    Let me post a few pix of things i have (NOT FOR SALE, i do have a ton of FOR SALE Stuff on TFW2005, see my siggie)

    sorry this one is blurry.,,

    but that is definitely not the end of my MOTU, 200X and MOTUC collection, i just haven't taken any good pix lately

    I also collect
    DCUC
    MU
    Star Trek
    Transformers
    Gundam
    Macross
    Sentai robos and misc Mecha

    Sawubona Judith!
    yep, hoping to spend my last bit of Paypal, hoping to find cheap loose figs.
    hoping to trade more. Trading is fun, imo.
    there are some non active things i collect too, like Starriors and WildCATs, i can always use a few gaps filled there, but i'm still trying to sift thru what i have and what my son had, and what he lost of mine, while cleaning out the shed and his old room(which became my junk room).
    I came across that MOTU200X castle box expecting it to be LOADED with many MORE figures...now i have to wonder WHERE ARE the figures not in it??
    But i can't pursue those gaps until i have finished going thru 100 crates, and as i go, i pull aside stuff to sell-off, trade, donate, toss.

    Yasou CocoaSmooth! if you have them graded, does that mean you also don't open them?
