I haven't bought anything for myself for some time, mainly because I now am collecting for my son. He loves the show Ben 10 and wanted his collection of the first ten figures completed (he had 4 out of 10). We were able to find four in stores, but ended up buying one off of ebay and the other on amazon. Now we're trying to figure out if he likes the show itself, or because he and the main character share the same name.
When I was younger I was addicted to Star Wars; I was seven when the first movie was released and can still remember going. Before Christmas Ben was looking through a catalog and the Star Wars toys caught his eye. Now next to the Ben 10 figures, his favorite is R2D2.
