Do you collect anything?

[chinangel]

foreign coins. I have a big bag of them on my dresser somewhere. Most of this is actually padding so i don't get tagged for low-content post so i'll go ahead and say that i get them from work. we cannot convert german,spanish, chinese or other such coinage so i'm allowed to take them and toss them in my coin bag. there...i think that is enough.

Not really, nope. The closest thing that counts in this context is LEGO stuff - some few recent sets, some old sets from my parents' attic and - rough estimation - about 35 of those Minifigures. Plus some comics, maybe: DMZ, Y, 100 bullets but not to an extent that'd make me call myself a collector...

 

[Quaxar]

A lot of comics. And I used to collect LEGOs, I think I've got at least a few cubic metres of the stuff at our second house.
And my Doctor Who collection. Loads of shirts, various toys, hand-knitted scarfs and even Converse modified and painted to look like a TARDIS which I wear on a daily basis.

 

[SaikyoKid]

I have a pretty large collection of stuffed animals won from all kinds of midway games and claw games. Outside of that though, nothing in particular outside of my old school Pokemon cards.

 

[Akytalusia]

not yet, but i may start a collection if i ever find myself without a leash. have no idea what it's going to consist of though since i've never actually thought about things like that.

 

[ThatLankyBastard]

I have close to 100 complete shows on DVD, about 90 of which are anime, and another 30 or so movies/incomplete shows...

I also collect figures, and have a rather extensive collction of my favourite anime characters...

My prize posession is a one of a kind, custom made figure of Rin from Katawa Shoujo...

Spoiler: Rin is best Cripple Girl (Pic is Big)

 

[Dr. Pepper Unlimited]

SF Giants memorabilia. I'm a huge baseball fan, so it only makes sense to.

 

[Vancleef]

Warhammer miniatures, and/or other miniatures for the most part.
I don't think you could call it a Collection, though, as I've barely got a handful of them.

I also collect gaming magazines.

 

[Esotera]

I used to collect some fossils when I was living on the Isle of Wight, but didn't really amass that many. I guess sci-fi books? I have 3 whole shelves and am running out of space...

 

[TotalerKrieger]

Guns, specifically Second World War rifles and carbines. I primarily own Commonwealth, Soviet and US arms but perhaps one day I will integrate the major Axis nations into my collection as well.

 

[TheColdHeart]

Books are probably the main thing I 'collect', I have a few shelves full in my room and a few boxes in the loft full of them. It's mainly because I can't bring myself to throw them away and I like to have whole sets/series of them.

I also kind of collect LEGO Minifigures. It's not a serious thing but I have 15-20 or so on top of my tv and occasionally I'll buy a few packs if there are any in a series I really 'want'. Although the 'blind box' element makes this rather tricky and I do look a bit odd in a toy shop squeezing little foil bags.

 

[Sack of Cheese]

Graphic novels, video games, movies, figurines...
Pretty proud of my collection, most of them are placed in alphabetic order (DVDs and video games mostly).

It feels good just looking at them.

[...], certain kinds of porn, [...].

With so many kinds of porn out there, I must say you got me curious.

Anyway, I don't collect anything anymore. Maybe I collect certain kinds of porn. I "collect" interesting pictures I find on the internet, videos too. Stuff I can use as reference in the future, when I'm drawing something (sadly rarely because I can't get my priorities straight), I'm constantly saving those. Also books, movies, but I never saw these as "collections".

I tried to collect action figures of games and movies that I like, but after a short while I thought it was a rather strange idea, plus you have to dust them off from time to time, I couldn't be bothered, specially because I like my rooms to be very clean, and toys are just there... doing nothing, serving no purpose. I have like 6 I think, they're all packed and stored away, but I think it's 6. Maybe 7. It's less than 10, though.

I tried to collect balls at one point, but they take up so much space I sold them. I kept 2 footballs so I can play with my dog. I could have sold them aswell and bought like 20 cheap footballs but I like them.

I also used to collect shoes, but at one point I wasn't really making any money, and I realised that I had so many shoes and only 2 feet, so I gave some away to some charities and kept the rest. And I still have enough shoes for the next 10, 15 years. Maybe I'll donate a few more pairs.

Since I started getting actual income I've found myself having quite a fondness for collecting and painting miniatures. Primarily from Privateer Press at the moment, from their Warmachine/Hordes game because they make some really fantastic models. I have close to around 150-200 models at the moment, as a rough estimate. Mostly from the Legion of Everblight or Cryx, and a few scattered models that I adore from other factions.

Right now I am working on this beauty right here.

[Camarii]

Books, fantasy books. Those things from soda cans. Bottlecaps. Glass bottles and jars. Dragons. Star Wars things. Puzzles. Hats. I tend to hoard things, stupid small treasures, just because it might be useful someday.

 

[Hero of Lime]

I collect video games and consoles in general, this is one reason I'm not a fan of everything going digital in the future since we'll lose the boxes. I get a sense of pride from looking at my shelves of games my brother and I have been playing and collecting for about 17 years.

I have a sword collection that was my grandfather's, but I doubt I'll really focus on building it much in the future.

As of right now I have about 160 Reshirams all spread over my five Pokemon gen 5 games. I just put Gibles up for a trade on the GTS and within a few days to a week, I have a new Reshiram waiting. I figure if people are willing to give up a legendary for a regular Pokemon, I'll gladly take good care of the unwanted Reshirams.
