That's a toughy, I suppose the thing that I think could be most geeky is the giant wearable Nyan Cat replica my friend and I made and painted and made videos with.
Other things that could be considered geekystuff, I own the guild wars 2 collectors edition with the statue and art prints and stuff. I also have the batman Arkham Asylum collectors edition with the Batarang replica. Last but not least I own the 2 seasons of marble hornets, and the first season is from the original run with typo included, and I own a marble hornets t-shirt. Also, I own like 4 decks of, and play the pokemon TCG still. SO MUCH FUN!

My nerdiness lies in my plushies and my clothing. I got an Akatsuki ring, as well as several Pokemon/assorted video game related plushies. Hell, I actually paid 30 bucks for a custom Pyramid head. Not that I mind having him. 
That quiz comment, reminds me of something from the other day (more like a couple weeks). I had a young lady come through my checkout wearing a Mass Effect hoodie, I asked her who her favorite character was and she told me she was sick of guys quizzing her. I replied to her that asking a favorite character wasn't a quiz, it's a conversation starter. She apologized and now whenever I see her come through my work we usually ask what each other has been playing etc.Phasmal said:
Does stuff like that bug you, like it did her? Because sometimes guys aren't quizzing, they just suck at making conversation. Mind you, mine was more obvious as a conversation piece as a test as there is no "wrong" answer to what I asked.
Ironically enough, I had someone quiz me on Superman because I have a Superman shirt. He asked me to list a few enemies, what his real name was etc. Then I asked him if he knew the name of his birth parents and he got it wrong, put him in his place. Sometimes guys get it too, but nowhere near as often. This guy thought he knew everything about comics and was showing off to his friends, at my work, quizzing me as I stocked shelves... At my second job, a comic book store I work part time at. His friends laughed their asses off at him.
Wow, kind of went off on a tangent there, sorry ^^; I have two Arkham City shirts, the Riddler one is my favorite, I got one where the Riddler trophy glows in the dark, it's awesome.
Outside of lame answers like my laptop, PS3, Xbox 360, PS Vita, Gameboy Advance, etc., I'm not really sure. I don't have any collectible items. My dad has a few things, like a Garfield telephone, but you know, not mine.
So, disregarding all of that, I guess I'll just go for the thing I'm most proud of owning? Which would be this:
I guess to achieve the "geek" side of this, for anyone who doesn't know what that is, it's a left-handed Epiphone SG, G-310 model. A pretty cheap but meaty guitar, with a nice crisp sound.

Mmmm, I guess the easy way to do this is just list a bunch of stuff I have an let the reader decide because I don't think any of it is geeky at all. It's just cool stuff.

Couple packs of Northern Forces Heavy Gears.

I own a lamp in the shape of a dragon perched on top of a mound of crystals with a badass looking sword stuck in them.
A slowly growing collection of science-fiction literature, currently working on completing the Dune and Foundation series, acquiring other titles and authors along the way.
Rather difficult to find them for a easily manageable price.

I'd probably have to say a replica sword from gladiator, the one in the beginning battle scene... that or a massive pile of retro consoles xD
Not sure what qualifies as "geekiest" since i don't have anything "hardcore geek" like replica weapons or stuff.

Hmmm.. where do I begin.
I have a talking portrait of Cave Johnson, an army of inflatable portal turrets and a little talking one.
3 A3x8 size posters of Vegeta and atleast 100 other figurines/doodads of Vegeta.
I have a custom made Masumane (6"1 long fold steel) aswell as a little sephiroth figure to go with it and a black materia.
There is a scale model of the Cerberus and Seifer's gunblade, I have 2 Kadaj replica double katanas aswell.
My adidas x star wars darth vader shoes, Swtor collector's edition, guild wars 2 collector's edition, the first 4 WoW collector's editions.
2 lightsabers, a death star planetarium (that shows the star wars universe), a lightsaber umbrella, the book of sith holocron edition.
Plushies of Eevee and all it's evolved forms, aswell as mew and mewtwo and.. well I think that's it, but probably not.
One of those things would have to be the nerdiest thing I own, I just can't decide which.

I suppose the geekiest thing I own is my little Ned Stark doll, who I have affectionately named Neddy. He's a parallel universe Ned Stark, who instead of going to King's Landing, decided he would come live with me. He's fastidiously tidy and honourable and I live in squalor and the only honour I have is sold to the highest bidder. We're a modern day odd couple, just with a lot more swordplay.
My favourite geeky thing is probably my borderlands 2 loot chest but the geekiest thing I own is an almost full collection of original pokemon trading cards,ive had them since I was a kid
My extensive comic collection which includes a number of #1 Issues, my various action figures of solid snake,godzilla,Daleks and my original star wars lego minifigures of Darth Vader and the Emperor, and my old nintendo systems which has proven to be a major hit with friends and family
