It hasn't gotten unmanageable yet. Most of the minis I have are not official HQ minis, but are Reaper Bones figures and some 3d printed ones that I use to supplement. The game system I originally bought was missing a couple of figures, so I picked up a few extras on Ebay, meaning I have a few additional Undead and Fimirs. I was also lucky enough to get one original (red) Ogre and six (black) mercenary scouts.
The unofficial figures I use to fill out the ranks if I were playing one of the expansions that call for more figures than I would have otherwise and for variety. I have about a hundred of these extra figures, and I don't store these in the HQ box with the others, but in two Flambeau plastic fishing (tackle) boxes, which I lined with foam padding.
The Reaper figures I painted in solid colors, varnished and re-based to look more like the HQ originals they are standing in for. I had a good time with those.
Card wise, most of the cards I have custom printed myself, and the sleeved cards fill five deck boxes that hold about a hundred each. I did have a big "roll under the bed" plastic tote that I stored everything in (and still had to carry the fishing boxes... plus I kept the extra tiles and any printed quests in a couple of plastic binders) but now that my siblings all have copies of the game (and some expansion material), that isn't such a chore if we want to play (tougher these days with covid anyway, hence the appeal of virtual play!).
Apart from the 2021 set, I haven't really planned to expand my "collection" anymore. I'm more intent to create and play, rather than collect (a bit too pricey for me anyhow) but I enjoy the pieces I have. I want them to get used! Would I jump at the chance if I saw some of the expansions cheap at a garage sale or thrift store though? I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't.
If we're talking other stuff, I do have a few Dragon Strike figures (heroes and monsters) and some fantasy creatures (monsters, etc) tube rubber miniatures (to add to the pile, a few great figures in there like the giant spiders). And a bag of extra plastic dice (most of it from that famous German site).
Edit: I've got a handful of unbased Warhammer skaven too, if that counts.
