I've been thinking about collecting some toys from the 80s/90s. Ones I had back when I was a lad. Anybody else do this? Where do you find them? I've seen ones on ebay but have no clue whether the prices on there are fair.
Oh man, the GeekGround on here has some threads .
I myself collect vintage MEGO, GI JOE and big jim. Local comic bookshows are usually good spots.
EBAY can be GREAT, but it takes a lot of sifting through garbage to get a good deal.
A lot of dicks will list the items as rare , when in fact they are not. There are price guides. You could PM me, the GeekGround has threads on it:
It's not lame: I know a few pro mma fighters that have a few select figures, and some have huge collections. 
rustyshakleford - Oh man, the GeekGround on here has some threads .My mom saved all my gi joe toys from my youth. Still all In boxes in my moms basement waiting for me to reclaim

From the early eighties
I want to. Bad. But fuck they ain't cheap. I collect vinyl figures now. Any kind really. I have started a collection of POP Vinyl figs. I also like Lego Minifigs.

There are three main figures I'm looking for: Zak from the Sectaurs line, Ray from Ghostbusters, and Bengali from the Thundercats. Apparently Bengali is the rarest and expensive as shit.
Bigbadtoystore.com has a lot of those POP figures! I think they get variants and limited editions.
I get cases of figures from there if I don't have the time to search for my figures.
Garbage Pail Kids cards... no action figures though
You can check old auctions on ebay, I think it goes back 3 or 6 months. Just look at what stuff goes for over time to get an idea of a fair price. Of course there are many other ways to buy too, including local stores, craigslist, garage sales, etc.
Father in law dropped off a bunch toys from brother in laws early days.
Skeletor never went into the play with pile. They did get to use castle grey skull for a bit. I'll have to go find Man o war.
I have all my toys from the 80's as a kid still.
Star Wars, a shit ton of GI JOE, transformers, He-man, MASK, Centurions, Thundercats.
Not all in pristine condition, obviously...but I still have them.
mixedmartialfarts -Came to say this. I still have my old ones but have thought about trying to start putting together a collection.

haha hell yeah! I'm missing series 1, but I've got 2-12. For some reason my wife thinks spending $200+ on trading cards is a bad idea? Not sure what her problem is.
Jealous of all the garbage pail kids
