I'm a sporadic 12" collector. I opt for the 12" Club every year and buy some of their exclusives like the Man of Asia and Kung-Fu sets.
I bought the Air Adventurer set and Base Camp at the 2008 Joecon. That tent, figure and jetpack are just about as cool as these get.
I've passed on all the other 12" sets since then and in 2006 and 2007 mostly due to buying the 3 3/4" sets in bulk. Price is also a big factor and I'm hoping they reduce the price of the 2006-2009 sets at a future con. Last year they were clearing out older 12" sets for dirt cheap but not the AT sets.
I picked up all the Wal-Mart AT figures and 45th repros from the last few years.
I also bught a lot of the 1990s 12" and some early 2000s in stores as they were released. I passed on the 40th Anniversary sets but was almost tempted to start buying those.
