There are definitely people out there who own a lot more games than I do, but yeah, it is a pretty large collection now.
That said, I got some more today. Pretty cool stuff here... well, some of them.
Colecovision
--
Gateway to Apshai - $32, complete. This is a pretty cool action-adventure game, pretty much an early roguelike. It's the first game in what would be a popular series at the time, Apshai, though the other games are on computers, not a console like this one. The laser-style boxart is pretty cool too.
Space Fury - $11, cart only. This port of an early Sega arcade game doesn't look even close to as cool as the vector arcade game, but it is a solid Asteroids-style shooting game.
Lady Bug - $11, cart only. And this one's a Pac-Man clone. As with most of Coleco's games on their console, it's a licensed arcade game and is supposed to be okay to good.
Pepper II - $16, complete. This one is one of the Colecovision games I've wanted the most, so it was a great find. This maze-style game plays like Zoom! (Genesis), Amazing Penguin (GB), Crush Roller kind of... things like that. You cover all the lines on a level to move on, only this game is more complex than some -- there are multiple screens you can travel between. It's good.

Airlock - cart and manual, $3
Super Baseball - $2, cart only.
