Whether you're waiting for a new GPK release or just collecting OS, what keeps you busy collecting GPK since there seems to be only limited amounts of product available from GPK's 32 year existence.
For me, the short answer would normally be: upgrading my existing collection, but I've been playing a bit of catch-up as of late.
As a base set collector, I've completed OS2-11, and all of the post-OS sets (except Apple Pie and Flashback 1-3). I also have both Giant sets, the Posters set, all of the pack wrappers, and most of the variation/errors. With respect to U.S. cards, there's not much more to collect. I'm not an insert, parallel, or limited edition card collector. I don't collect foreign cards or toys. Set upgrading is the primary collecting task that keeps me looking at my collection.
What collecting activities keep you busy? (i.e. sorting, upgrading, building, etc.)

I've started to collect Cabbage Patch Kids. The yarn hair and details are so good, they almost look as good as John Pounds's GPK art.

I collect Ron English and Squadt vinyl fig.
Really gpk is my first love but they've been placed on the back burner. I get a few things that are New Wave or Dizzy Dave or buy the current base sets. It's been a while since I was fully on board with gpk.

Tommy, your private message privileges were revoked right after you solicited those nuns to star in one of your twisted "Farm Animal Fun" movies. All of your messages now default to the open forum.

Do you like apples? Hold on don't answer that yet. First of all its not my movie or even a remake its an homage to the epic saga Farm Animal Fun #32 Nasty Nun Buns Fun in the Sun. Its the pinnacle of the series and its not the bourgeoisie prattle that the sheep lap up as cinema. I even got someone from Game of Thrones to star in my version. So how do you like them apples Ok so she doesn't star in GoT but she was reading it on the metro so thats pretty close.

I've developed a severe addiction for collecting cheap plastic mini figures. The company Toysmith makes some great ones including some of my favorite mini dinosaurs ever. They can usually be found in the dollar to three dollar section of Target. I gave up on GPK for now because of the quality of the franchise.......I mean.....LOOK AT THIS COMPARISON!!!! SERIOUSLY, LOOK AT IT, MAN!!!!!!

Here's an example of the cheap little toys that have hooked me in a big way. They cost next to nothing and are really detailed. Best part is, they have a slight "rarity" to them because when I see them at Target, they never get re-released again, so you have to get them while you can. In this case, its the Jar Full of Dinos. Two years ago it was Dino Ghosts for Halloween.

That new Alice looks like it was painted by a child. These new so called "gpk" are basically poorly drawn parodies. Just an eye sore. I don’t know how people keep buying these horrid new products.

Not a surprise for most I guess when I say 2013 Mini Series Approaching my 400th box I basically don't buy any new series anymore I'm totally narrowed down with what I collect and chase

I'm with Bok. I quit buying the new stuff as I hate wasting my money on cards I don't like. I could care less if they release another new set ever again. I have 30 years of merchandise to catch up on. Between Cheap Toys and my Bonnie Bunny, Roy Bot and Fryin Ryan focus, I also collect sketches, proofs and negatives. I collect foreign as well as trying to upgrade and complete the holes in my OS collection. I still have a long road to travel. I also collect Toys, mini figures and comics to boot so I'm always buying something.

As far as GPK goes, I try to find whatever OS cards I can find in the wild, not to mention Chrome. But my real passion is TMNT. Between reading the comics and posting on the Technodrome Forums, I keep myself busy while I wait for whatever new set will come out.
