For me, a series I desperately want more of, are the Dragon Ball Movie Collection Series Figures. [...]

The Movie Collection series was hit or miss for me; I think the villains are the better-looking figures.
Anyway, for me is mostly Spawn, which for the most part getting figures was comfortably inexpensive, but most have gone up in price lately. Quite recently McFarlane did a Kickstarter campaign for a "remaster" of the original figure from the first series, but unfortunately I came to know about it literally a week after the Kickstarter ended. Suffice to say I'm shit out of luck on that one, so I'm not going to even entertain the idea, unless I were to come across someone who for whatever reason has it and is clueless about its value...which is highly unlikely. Aside from Spawn, I'd like to also get my hands on those elusive NECA TMNT figures that Walmart.com seemingly never had in stock.
To be honest, this is something I often think about, and if it were for me I'd probably end up trying to get all the figures I used to have as a kid, or at the very least the ones that I used to like the most. But truth be told, that'd be overkill due to limited space and the fact I'd be letting nostalgia take the wheel, which I'm sure I will end regretting. Nonetheless, there are definitely a slew of select figures from my childhood that I'd like to "get back", like from TMNT and a few from Thundercats for example.

These aren't toys, but I'm not gonna open up a whole new card thread for just this, since I'm not someone that collects cards any more (Use to collect the Dragon Ball Z TCG back in high school, still got most of the player cards), but I've been watching a bunch of card opening videos lately, mostly just Pokemon, and it's become a big thing lately.
It's fun watching people pull out the super rare cards and I love watching folks who get original era cards and are opening those, trying to find these crazy rare cards that could be worth hundreds, if not thousands of dollars. I didn't buy these for that, it just reinvigorated my love for card opening and collecting, I didn't do a lot of Pokemon cards as a kid (I was mostly just into the 90's games and some show stuff), but I do like Pokemon in general, so it seemed like it could be fun, opening cards, doing the three card shuffle, guessing the energy, and then seeing if I can't get something rare or just a Pokemon I like.
Funny enough, my sister also got into watching people do this abit and she was interested to, so for our Christmas Eve entertainment, we are nostalgia tripping by watching a movie and opening up Pokemon Cards. Got some brand new stuff from the store, an assortment of the newest series that came out this year I believe, and then my buddy actually came into a couple Sun & Moon era cards, and these themed deck sets and gave them to me cheap. The deck sets don't have special cards or anything, but just more cards to open for the heck of it.

I'd love to own the RIOBOT figures for Jehuty and Anubis from Zone of the Enders.

I don't know ZoE at all, but those are some real cool figures.

Same—the thing is, though, that I actually bought both years ago from a Japanese seller, but they ended up getting returned because the seller messed up my address, then refused to send them again. The value for both figures have gone up since then, so the only way I realistically can envision getting them is either in some sort of lot or perhaps from someone without a clue of what they're selling.
