Description
My pal zvko asked me to post this picture. It was taken in January, and it only represents about a third of my collection. I wish I was exaggerating...What is not shown...well, I can't begin to list that right now...For one, I would feel like I was bragging (which I am not)...and two...I am supposed to be doing a ton of other things right now...(like editing my Con Report for Avatarspirit.net) For some of the items that I have you can check out the shops at Mall of America [link]
I have quite a few posters both signed, and unsigned. I really wish I had the Appa poster from last year's scavenger hunt...but I haven't found one in collectible condition yet.
I also have too many t-shirts to count. As you can see, I have the Katara T Shirt that was offered on Nick.com. It does indeed fit me, but I won't wear it. I want to keep it perfect
[link] Also, since they first premiered, I have had in my possession over 55 Appa plushes. Some I gave away, some I auctioned, some of them found homes with Avatar staff, and some are still in my closet (shhhh)
As for the cards...I only have the one box set, but then I have 55 booster packages...unopened. I also have tons of the party favors, cups and canteens, and various other odds and ends.
I own all the Manga by Tokyopop [link] and Simon Schuster [link]
id=515758 books. I have 4 copies of the coloring books[link] Three copies of the first Avatar Magazine [link] 3 copies of the "How to Draw Avatar" book [link] by Walter Foster.
Right now I am in the process of ordering merchandise from Europe..that I can't find (or isn't offered here)
As many of you already know...Mattel dropped the Action Figure line. I was eagerly waiting for the Rock Hand Aang (not to mention a Katara or Toph figure!!!) Now, it looks like I will spend my time writing letters to Mattel (nice letters asking, "WHY") and hoping that Nickelodeon finds another company to create action figures, and represent this series the way it should be
As fans, please...try to support the show if you can. Please buy the merchandise. Please support the magazine! The more we buy, the more they will make...
...I can't do the buying for all of us
Well, not always at least....
There ya go zvko

We are talking about the same band right? I hope so...cause then I would feel goofy. Their music is in some anime...and the lead singer is..omg...how do I say this...Cute. I started listening to them when I was in my mid 20s

haha, well, yes, "Romance" was the opening for Sexy Commando Gaiden Sugoiyo Masaru-san [link] ... and "Hanazono Kinema" for the anime Mars [link]
it's the same band we're talking about, right?

Oh YEAH. That's definitely the band, and that's definitely Hakuei

OMG!!!
I hardly ever meet anyone who not only knows about the, but have actually liked them T____T
they're such an underrated band ;____;
(tho I believe they're now more something like a "cult" band XD)
Hakuei is the love of my life *---*
(a-and he shook my hand once... and it was the best day of muy life)

You touched....TOUCHED Hakuei!......

y-yesYES!!!
AND HE shook my hand!!!
It was a surreal moment I'll never forget...
I went to A-kon last year for a nano (a side project of PENICILLIN) concert. I was already leaving the hotel on a taxi when I saw him coming out. I got out of the car and ran towards him. I shook his sleeve and said "sumimasen..." and he turned around and was all "WTF!?" and I said "I'm a very BIG FAN from MEXICO" and he was like "ohh" and and and and then he h-he took off one of his gloves and shook offered his hand!!!
*---------------------------*
AND JAPANESE DON'T TOUCH PEOPLE!!! HE WAS SUCH A GENTLEMEN!!!
*-* *-* *-* *-* *-*
(lol, a friend told me that everytime I tell this story, my eyes glint)

Thats so awesome!
You have a Jet action figure, don't you?
I wanted him badly but never got around to it
Don't worry A_M Your not crazy
I have just as big a collection of Pirates of the Caribbean stuff....except I wear mine and I open the boxes.
Hey, I'm a teenager, what do you expect?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I do have a Jet! I had a few of them, but I sent them to some much deserving friends. I only have two now. One for me, and one for my hubby. He's a huge Jet fan...back when I was really mad at Jet for being so messed up in the head, my hubby kept telling me that if Jet could get his act together, he would be an awesome force. He was right
[link]
I was really impressed by all the Pirates of the Caribbean toys. I actually started feeling jealous when a Wal Mart in my area was pulling down Avatar toys to replace them with POTC toys....but then I thought...well, I bet this makes JetsChick happy

Sadly, the closest walmart to me is an hour away so I have to live with the Target toys...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I prefer Target to Wal Mart, but for Avatar toys...you kinda had to lurk at Wal Mart for them
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The problem is is that I've pretty much bought every single pirate thing from target that I want. Oh well, I'll just save a lot of money and force someone to drive me out to walmart.

I can't tell you how much I have wanted to open a toy store, just so that I could carry tons of the action figures....as well as various other awesome toys.
Hmm...Avatar museum...LOL (wheels turning)

Dedication...and lots of hunting all over the city and the internet. I really hope to move them out of the big closet they are in. I want everyone to see them. But, they are actually in a very good place right now. No direct sunlight or humidity to damage the cards they are on
(....yes...I'm obsessed)

Hehehe..I have to thank zvko for telling me to post it. I am so happy everyone is enjoying it
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
you should be. You make us Avatards proud
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Pssst. Obsessed much?
Even though I'm getting two free copies of the magazine, I intend to buy copies of it too (I'll still send you an autographed copy. =^__^= )

You just gave me an awesome idea! I am going to save my mylar balloons for a Chicago area gathering. I will do it in November or February to celebrate Avatar's "Birthday".
I was more than happy to bring that swag with me to share with you. After all, you let me sleep on your futon, keep you awake at night, and drink your tea and eat your cake
Thank you for honoring my request for an autograph....Must grab a cup of Naked Iroh right now...MmmMmm

That is just...amazing. I wish that a) I had enough room for a collection like that, and b) Avatar merch wasn't so dang hard to find around here! As I've said before, it's so stupid that I can practically spit on Nicktoon Studios from my house, and almost none of our local stores ever carry anything related to it except the DVDs.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah! I remember you telling me that! You know what is really amazing. Some of the really hard to find figures...I found on Ebay from a seller out near San Diego. That seller had every new figure as soon as it came out. I was floored that this young lady had a good supply of them, but her neighbors to the North in Cali were not as rich in Avatar toy goodness. BLAH!
Hehehe..I can only imagine how pretty you would set up your collection in your room

WOW!
You're my hero(ine)!
That is just an awesome collection! And as other people have said - where's the other two thirds of it? Show us!
And yes! I totally agree that Katara needs an action figure! Haru, Jet, Zuko and Aang action figures sold seperately!
I'm still in your book of '
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You are silly
I agree, Katara does not need to be packaged in a special shipping collection...bah!
You are indeed on my list. I have one magazine for you already, and I will be at Barnes and Noble bright and early to pick up the newest issue of the all Avatar Magazine!
gAangsta for life!

Simply.. beautiful.
I will always look up to you as a collector and fan. 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yours too zvko! You have done a great job photographing your collection for everyone to see.
*puts on my gAangster hoodie*
Avatar....this is how I roll.....
We need to clone more of us...mwahahaha

Momo/Appa plushies? *cries* I would love to have them!!! (Ship one to me pretty please?)
I think I'll re-live my childhood with those toys. I'll play with them for hours! I even saw a girl carrying an Aang action figure at a bookstore a few weeks ago and I had a very evil impulse to wrench it from her hands.
Never mind, my imagination's still working perfectly fine so I'll live in la-la land with the Avatar gang.
You have to show us the rest of your collection!
I bet your kids are the happiest Avatar fans on Earth.

I have actually seen a few other kids carrying around Aang action figures, and I always want to run up to them and say, "I like Aang too! Do you like Uncle Iroh? Did you see episode 213? Wasn't it the greatest? How about episode 218? Isn't the beginning sequence amazing?" Yeah, that would be when their Mommies called security...LOL
As for pictures of the rest of the collection...pretty soon. I have some of it taken off the walls so I can paint. Also, most of the books are nestled in my china cabinet, or in my bookcase. So I just have to pull them out and photograph it. The T shirts might be harder to gather. They are in various places, and closets and drawers..LOL All except the one I was just given for being a costume finalist at SDCC, Katara, my eyewear promotional t shirt, and my Aang and Spongebob special edition shirt. They are still in the plastic.
As for my kids being happy little gAangsters...most definitely

And I herd they had discontinued them awhile back, so hope you are able to keep those in a safe place and stuff.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, very safe
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You got that right, I mean if some one were to sell that for given estimate on Ebay, about a good $2500 might end up sounding right, but I figure you are keeping it, I do hope you have some special box for it, and one that does not break either.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You are soo right. I do not plan on selling them
