More of the Toys really. I'd just like to get a copy of each movie on DVD, not necessarily from every region. So I have a few Chinese DVDs so I could get the Japanese audio with English subs. Only R2s I've considered getting have been the the Final Box... still hoping.

As far as toys go, I buy what I like. From well-detailed Bandais, to the little SD candy toys. If I like it, I buy it, but you won't find me paying huge prices for old and rare toys.

However, when it comes to kaiju DVD and VHS, I'm quite a collector. I have at least 9 different copies of Megalon on VHS alone, and three on DVD. I like them for several reasons, the varying box art, and the fact they're probably the "easiest" Godzilla collectible to come across locally (thrift stores, garage sales, etc.).

While I enjoy collecting figs and other memorabilia as much as the next guy, I don't have a lot of kaiju collectibles aside from the movies, but I do enjoy the modest collection I own. The movies are what are most important to me, and I don't get multiple versions of each one...since I prefer dubs (especially the old AIPs, etc.) those are the ones I have. And I'm happy with it that way! :)

I've got almost all of the Godzilla-related movies on anamorpic, subtitled DVDs (missing Rodan and a couple of other ones). I have currently very few plans on upgrading or complementing any of them with other editions, except if the extras were really really good. For example, I probably won't buy the current Classic Media DVDs because the extra material doesn't seem that extremely supergreat.

I wouldn't mind getting one or two good-looking toys, but definitely no more than that (the space!)
