How Big Is Your Collection of...?

[LgMuPPet]

I'm collecting CokaCola cans

I'm planing on making a wall of Cola cans
lol.

I have around 20 coffee mugs, even though I don't drink coffee.

I have a ton of books, CDs and video games but I wouldn't call them collections so much as libraries.

I do, however, have many collections including but not limited to the following:
- Coins from around the world
- US coins from the last 100 years or so
- Stones and pebbles from places I've been
- Star Wars cards I collected back in elementary school
- Pokemon cards I collected in middle and high schools (this is probably my most extensive collection)

I wonder how many things you need to collect before it's considered a "problem".

I am disappointed in myself just saying this, but... I have every Star Wars book ever released, all of the movies (except the Clone Wars, that was pathetic) in tins, several figurines, bobbleheads, comics, the TV movies, and a bunch of the PEZ things. How is that for sad?

Hey, for the record, some people think that's admirable. I have what I would have (until I read your post) called a pretty large collection of Star Wars books, but I certainly don't have every one ever released. That's pretty impressive. I thought Swansweet was one of the few to do that.

Does that include the Visual Dictionaries and Guides, or the Encyclopedias? Or any of the non-fiction Star Wars stuff? And is that including or not including different versions of the same book, re-released, or by different authors, or with childrens/adults versions?
Just curious.

I can lay claim to a massive collection of stickers though. I love stickers.

Game merchandise.

Spoiler: Behold

And that isn't even all of it.

I really want that Oddworld book, where did you buy it from?

I got mine here: http://www.ballisticpublishing.com/books/oddworld/

I have the Limited and Folio editions. You can probably pick up one of the regular hard or softback ones off eBay, but they're still not cheap.

[duckfi8]

i have a extensive amount of games, and i have at least 100 guns if not more

 

[PAGEToap44]

Well...anything. Albums, DVDs, games, bottlecaps, human souls. Whatever.

About 200 of the things strewn about my room. I don't know why, I forget why I collect them.

 

[Beffudled Sheep]

I have two rooms dedicated to my collection of firearms. I don't know how many exactly, I lost my paper with the numbers on it. I also have a collection of hundreds of bottles.

 

[Shynobee]

Ummm, I have way too many Magic the Gathering cards.

It borders on the 5,000 mark. I really should sell some of them, but for some reason I don't...

That is... amazing... where did you get all that stuff? Do you work at GameStop or something?

I have a collection of music (over 7000 songs on my iPod and that doesn't include the CDs that I haven't imported yet, tapes, and records), musical instruments (3 electric guitar, 1 acoustic guitar, 2 bass guitars, 2 keyboards, I used to play the trombone, a harmonica, an African talking drum, and many more that I forgot), and games (too many to count).

No, I got just about all of that off eBay, except the Art book, and one of the Oddworld t-shirts.

[Sark]

I have a whole lot of scars, mostly head wounds and a nice one across my back. This is because I am man. None are self inflicted, deliberatly anyhow.
