Are you LEGO only or do you collect other toys (or things) as well?

  I used to collect GI Joe, Vintage Star Wars, and a bunch of other 80's toys but I've sold most of that to help support the Lego addiction.
  
  Other than toys I collect antiques such as old bottles and prehistoric North American artifacts.

  Mostly Lego, but I dabble in 80s GI Joe like Kor.

  Yea I'm almost all Lego, but once in a while I'll pick up something that catches my eye. Like a couple of the Halo action figures, or other rare/cool looking figures. I try to stay away from most other forms of toys for space consideration.

  Just Lego, mountain bikes and mp3s :)
  Wish they all took up as little space as mp3s.

  I also collect vinyl art toys (or urban vinyl/designer vinyl toys...whatever you want to call them!) This will give you some idea of the variety! :

  I used to be a big model aircraft/tank hobbyist. I've also assembled a few car models as well. I've still got a ton of unopened sets under my bed, but with all my LEGO building going on, I doubt I'll ever get back into my model "groove".
  
  Besides that, I also collect history and military books/magazines.

  Matchbox and Hot Wheels diecast cars. I don't collect them all, just the ones I like, which are usually ones based on real cars.

  Where to start...
  My main collecting habit for 20 years has been Star Wars figures (Kenner and Hasbro) currently my collection is north of 2000 pieces. But now am beginning the process of selling off the entire collection (with the exception of a few vintage carded figures that i just can't let go) mostly to get a room back in the house but also to part fund the growing Lego purchases and the cost of raising the two young kids i now have. Also playing with Lego with the kids is more enjoyable that looking at figures in a box, so to speak.
  I also have a large(ish) movie collection and a growing amount original studio posters, which are loving hung around the house, which annoys my wife no end, but luckily for me we can't afford what she calls real art to put on the walls so they stay.
  I did have a fair sized M.A.S.K and Transformers collection from back in the day but that was sold off a year or so back to fund more SW purchases.

  I must say that my collecting got started in plastic models: Monogram (one of every original release till they were bought out by Mattel), Revell (all the "s" series), Renwal, Tamiya, MPC, Hawk etc. Then it went to 1:43 race cars-at first just kits then diecast to fill in needed gaps (almost 3,000 at last count, mostly F1), then there's the race car print collection (300+), and my guitar collection (50+) and finally with my 9 year old son our Lego collection!
  
  I think I need to call a shrink...
