I have a lot of starter boxes, but have a couple of boxed D&D type games, heroquest, space crusade, space hulk (twice), at least one warhammer edition, gorkamorka and a fist full of other stuff from a variety of manufacturers. Probably over 13 without including all those self contain games that come in boxes.

Waste of money really to me as they usually contain content either for armies I'll never play, an odd assortment of models, or a lot of left over models and junk because I only intend to play one of the armies included. Plus they're generally out of my usual spending budget. ¬¬

They where sitting on top of one of the model cabinets in the bedroom.

Ive only bought one...it was the 40k starter set with the marines, land speeder and 2 squads of dark eldar. Pretty old, I think it was the starter set throughout the 3rd edition. Though I should really buy one every time a new one is released....those things are about the only merch that GW doesnt completely rape you on!

I voted one. I should have done two as I just remembered the other

I bought Bloodbowl (can't remember which. I think they still sell the same version.)

And I also bought Space Crusade 2nd hand (actually got this before I knew about Warhammer.)

Just realized after pressing vote that I completely misinterpreted the question.
Voted for 2. As in I own a Black Reach set and an Island of Blood set.
But I've got 3x the Orks from AOBR (+1 rulebook and whatnots) and I recently bought the Island of Blood set but sold the models to my buddies.

Also I've got half of a Gorkamorka starter set. So I've got... what? 2 and a half sets?
