Just a mini update, after evaluating what I really like/enjoy and looking at the year. I've also noticed a few different members selling/purging their collections, so I was wondering if anyone else's year has changed at all as far as collecting/collections.
CollectingStar Wars - 3 3/4" figures, ships, beasts, etc. Not a completist, but most everything that is released...especially OT. Also, OT-based Unleashed and Playskool/Galactic Heroes lines. If I have extra money, or lulls in collecting, I might pick up a few more loose vinty figures.
Marvel World - Marvel Legends I have stuck to X-Men only so far, and hope to continue to for the most part (maybe that series 8 Doc Ock when it comes out). The rest of the line is tempting as well. I also have a Spider-Man 2 Spidey, and the Parachute Spider-Man from the Spidey Classics line, and I think I might try to broaden the Spidey collection a little with some villains (especially that upcoming box set). I also took my first jump into the world of minifigs, picking up a Spider-Man Marvel Minimates four pack this past weekend. I'm thinking about collecting more of these, they are fairly affordable and don't take up much space to store or display.
Not Collecting, or Very LimitedLord of the Rings - I really, really like these movies, and the toy line is great as well...but there is just so much to get, I'm so far behind, and to be honest...with almost all of my budget/space devoted to Star Wars, and what little is left over going towards Marvel stuff, I just don't have the money or space. I have a Legolas and a Smeagol, and I'll just leave it at that hopefully. Maybe an odd figure here or there throughout the year, but I'm going to try not to give in. Great line overall though.
MOTU - The line is pretty much done now anyways, and I now (thanks to Scott) have the one figure I wanted, Roboto. I was too far behind in this as well to begin with, so I'm just going to leave it at that. Figures were very nice, the line was just handled horribly. Space was another issue with this line for me.
Muppets - A really great line, that has always (and probably will continue to) tempt me. I don't have any figures, so the fact that I'm way behind here too helps me out. I still would like to pick up the Indy Kermit if/when SWShop comes back online, and I might look at getting a Rowlf or Fozzie some day.
Batman/Justice League - I was somewhat interested in this, just being a Batman fan, but I picked up Zipline Batman and I think I'll leave it at that for now. Not that I don't like other characters from this, as well as Justice League/Super Friends, but Mattel handles the lines poorly...and honestly, I'm just more of a Marvel person anyways.
So I think I am going to (at least try) to just limit myself to mainly Star Wars, with a sprinkling of Marvel stuff here and there. Those are really my favorites, and what I enjoy to collect the most. Space and budget becomes a big factor to me...especially with so many lines being in the 6" scale, and outside of Star Wars I have room for very little (not really even room enough for the Star Wars stuff I want either

). I'm hoping this minimate pack I bought doesn't open up new doors (LOTR minimates, SW Kubricks), since minifigs don't hurt the space issue really

. Have any of you changed your minds on what you would like to collect, or had companies change them for you?
