Are there any collections you want to start but haven't yet?

I really like the Queen of Hearts but am not a big fan of Alice in Wonderland as a whole. I like that the Queen of Hearts can be a number of royal women in history and her court can symbolize a lot of things (War of the Roses being one). I'm just not sure if I want to start another collection. I don't own any Queen of Heart pins so I'd be starting from scratch. So do you all have collections you want to start but haven't for any reason?
 
I've thrown around the idea of starting a Beauty and the Beast or a Sleeping Beauty collection. I still might, but right now, having Tangled as a main collection is expensive enough. Haha.

I've also postponed both ideas for SPACE. I'm afraid of starting either because they're both gigantic collections with so many beautiful pins and I definitely don't have the space I'd want to properly display them. But Beauty and the Beast was my all time favorite movie before Tangled came out and Sleeping Beauty was one of my grandmother's favorites, so there's a lot of meaning behind both films for me...

Who knows! For now, I'll happily stick with Tangled and with my Updated Look Princesses. <3
 
I thought about the Beloved Tales since they are basically an icon from each Disney movie aka my childhood. However that is something that I would never undertake.

I also thought about collecting princess sets. Like any of them. That is also something that I won't do because of the impossibility.
 
Oy - I really want to start an Evil Queen collection and a Disney Cats collection but ugh I'm still undecided :/ I can't afford to have 2 more collections added to the IDK how many I have now! LOL
 
I've actually always debated about starting to collect Snow White because she was always my favorite growing up. The sheer number of pins, however, has continued to intimidate me. Maybe one day I'll start one with her just in rags! Lol

Did I hack into your account and post that lol because that is almost word for word what I was going to say. I want to start, but I know it is impossible at this point so no thank you haha xD

Oh yeah, also Designer pins (by which I mean just the Designer Princesses and Villains, I know I'll do this one down the road though)
 

haha. 2 great minds think alike!

The amount of Snow White pins intimidate me as well and I collect Snow White. I'm still debating whether or not I want to collect the dwarfs. Right now I am mostly collecting Snow and the Queen/Old Hag. I think I want to collect Sleepy and Dopey. I'm pretty sure they are going to be the only dwarfs I collect because they're my favorite.
 
Aristocats.
Been thinking about those for a very long time now.
As last year, throughout the year I looked up many of the Marie merch for my sisters Christmas presents.
But noticed that most of the pins are so much more expensive then Lion King, and I just can't afford it
 
I've thought about starting a Beauty & the Beast collection, and also about collecting all six "The Kiss" pins (pictured below). But I already have so many other collections going, I just don't know if starting a new one is a good idea... as beautiful and tempting as these pins may be. The good thing is that although a lot of different themes appeal to me, I generally only want a few "favorite" pins from each movie or character I collect. I'll never be a completist in anything...


 
I thought about starting a Haunted Mansion collection just based in pins of the Fab Five as the Mansion characters, but realized that would be kind of a money pit. One I have decided to half-heartedly collection but don't have anything from yet is a Main Street collection, as seen in my sig. I don't have the money to part with right now, but I hope after our trip to Paris in May I'll have a little to spare again.
 
Kiss series is seconded for me! I also was able to get one of the hinged stained glass books, and I think I want to start a stained glass collection haha. That one might be a much later down the line collection
 
Lion King.. It was one of my favorites to watch as a kid. There's just so many and I'd have to give up on one of my collections.
My mom wants to start Cinderella after seeing my princess collection. She also feels like Cinderella sometimes
 
Stained glass/ art related pins. I'm an art major so seeing all the pins recreated to look like historical paintings makes the artist in me cry. I'd love the stained glass pins because it reminds me all the glass work my grandmother has done. :,)

If you're gonna start collecting stained glass, at least wait until I can at least finish the DisneyShopping.com Stained Glass LE100 set haha xD just kidding but in all seriousness, good luck! It's taken me months to locate 3 of the ones in this one set which is only a fraction of stained glass pins. I can only imagine going for them all O_O

I just remembered, I always wanted to start a collection of under-appreciated characters, characters that don't have many pins of themselves in existence or don't have many people who collect them but are still nice. Maybe one of my favorites from each movie, for example:

Little Mermaid - Vanessa
Princess and the Frog - Lottie
Hercules - The Muses
Lilo and Stitch - Pudge
Tangled - Mother Gothel
Mulan - The Matchmaker
The Emperor's New Groove - Cat Yzma

Those are only some of the ones I was thinking of, but those alone would be quite difficult to find lol

I'm on the fence about starting an Oz collection. On one hand, I would be getting in at the very beginning. But on the other hand, I'm not sure I'll be able to get to DSF next week for that release, so that would give me trouble getting those pins.

And I'm also not sure if I want to start collecting pins for a movie that I haven't even seen yet.

Decisions, decisions ... .
 
Peter Pan, I was very close to doing it. Also, Lion King, and Whinnie the Pooh. Those were all major childhood Disney movies I loved to watch. However, I just haven't been motivated enough yet.
 

Collect em, and if you change your mind, you have them for traders.
