This question might be a bit late. But I'm now sort of up to speed with the new computer and all. But most folks make new year resolutions that by the end of January are long been broken. So as a collector what are your collecting goals for 2006? Being that we are getting a house this year is going to put a bit of a damper on my collecting budget. The following are my goals for the year. I might fall sort but it's a goal none the less. 1 I currently have 84 of the orginal 100 vintage Star Wars figures. I hope to complete the vintage line this year. Yea this will be a huge one to pull off. So I might be saying the same thing next January. 2. Stay current with then new Star Wars Saga 3.75" line. 3. Complete the list of Transformers I had as a kid. Which are only two Octane and Gnaw. 4. Complete the Star Wars Hallmark Christmas oriments. I have many. But this past Christmas I started trying to fill the holes I have in this collection over the years. 5. At least one more Star Wars Kotobukiya statue. Most likely Commander Bly 6. At least one Star Wars 1/4th Sideshow statue. Preferably the Princess Leia that CK is currently on the wait list for. 7. More as I can think of it.

Back off for a bit and get things straight in my life again. Still gona hit and miss on some stuff, but not all out like I have been. May be able to reorient my hole completist mentality and get rid of it.

FUN thread to contribute to!
Jack - Don't rush the Gnaw and Octane. Those are two that you might want to get locally if you can. I am probably preaching to the choir, but both those dudes are highly likely to have bad chrome wear. Those are two that I have held out on for that reason. (And then when you do find them...they are expensivo)
For me:
G1 Transformers: Complete collection 1984-1987. Holy cow. That is a big goal.
He-Man: Keep up with 6" statue line. Acquire King Randor
Final Fantasy (Kotobukiya): Try to get the remaining Final Fantasy VIII figures. Possibly acquire more from Final Fantasy VII.
Filmation Ghostbusters: Get the Ghost Buggy! (and other figures)
Star Wars: Figure out a way to pay for the Leia statue.
Robotech: Acquire a few other figures. Maybe buy some more Yamato 1/48 Valks.
The Batman: Keep up with the line.
Decisions: Abandon the Justice League Maquettes completely? Acquire any Marvel statues? How much Star Wars stuff do I liquidate?
And of course, there are possible C.K. collection surprises on the way. You'll just have to wait and see.

Speaken of Ghostbuster I got THE REAL Ghostbusters Ecto-1 - Diecast 1:21 Scale. It's Pretty sweet. Anyway collecting goals:
1- Not to buy anymore transformers. I'm Done. I'm Done. I'm Done. Unless a REALLY nice Reissue comes out, I MAY get it. But I'm all done.
2-I have the Snowtrooper Kotobukiya Statue ordered, so him for sure. I'll Probably not get anymore for awhile.
3- Just won a 12" Mcfarlene Predator today... that's on the way.
4- Getting a few more Diecast Cars. Mostly from Movies and TV shows.
5- To find a cool Spiderman and Luke Skywalker Statue. Still been on the look out for a really nice one for awhile and have not found one I'm impressed with.

Do I really need to answer this question?

Dragons! (specifically McFarlane, but some others as well) ;D And find a reasonably priced "Bard" from the Legends of Ireland Barbie(tm) series. Sharp, pointy things!
