[QUOTE="monkey_roo, post: 423451, member: 2414"] Hey Most of what needs to be said has been, but essentially only collect for pleasure, the second you start buying for investment it becomes a different beast and maybe not as enjoyable. Vintage or modern (or both) there is so much out there to collect that it might be worth researching what areas, lines etc interest you the most before diving in with both feet. Quite often when people start collecting anything they buy anything and everything and very quickly you have more stuff then can ever be displayed, I was like that when I got into modern collecting back in the day and wishing a few years I had floor to ceiling boxes everywhere. It took me a long time to realise that downsizing and focusing on specific toy lines worked better for me, of course I still have boxes of stuff around but just not quite as muc :) Whatever approach you take just do it for the enjoyment.
