Over 300 in just under a year, I've been getting carried away. So simple maths shows that if I collected for 13 years at the rate I am now, just under 4000 toys. I hope it never gets that bad. How much cute and quirky can there possibly be for me to purchase? :)
First toys weren't great, I used to collect the MacFarlane stuff, of which I think I only have one piece left. I started very earl with Qee and Toy2r stuff.
Things have picked up recently though. I have no wife, kids, car etc, and a reasonably good job, so I'm fortunate to have quite a bit of disposable income. I was never a fan of saving money.

you should "freeze" that number :-)
just imagine your nickname: "the man with 1001 toys"

I was six years old thirteen years ago. The only toys I knew of were Barbies and Polly Pocket. :P

I collected some Mcfarlane stuff as a teenager. They used to have good sculpts - I remember a great Marv from Sin City a friend if mine had.
Elissa - I got from 50 to 130/40 in a year so I don't have as many toys as you, but if my collection keeps growing by this factor it will be huge :P
I don't have a regular job at the moment, so it might stop the vinyl flow...
