Carlucci Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 I've seen a few topics about collecting things, like the die cast cars and Ed's toys. So it got me wondering what else people here collect. I have a lot of Texaco collectibles, including all the #28 die-cast cars back to when Davey Allison drove for us. (anyone interested I'll sell 'em dirt cheap) Now, my sons and I are collecting all the Halo Action Figures, but that's about it. Include links to samples so we can see what you are talking about.

Mark E Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 My big thing for the past year and a bit has been board games. My collection is well over fifty right now and probably well over 60 if i wanted to count it up right now . There's a lot of interestingly collectible board games, though I don't tend to help the value because I like to own and then play these titles. It's a lot of fun. I love board gaming more than video gaming actually, but it's easier to get people together for a round of video gaming . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam P Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 I think I can safely say that alot of us collect DVDs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamsappel Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 I collect unopened videogames, sealed in their original wrapping. It's not a very big collection compared to the opened ones, really, but it's growing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kain rising Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 I have a small collection of shot glasses that I've been slowly adding to since I was in middle school, I think. Mind you, it was quite a few years after that befor I ever used one for it's original purpose... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romier S Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 DVD's and for a long time now comic books but I haven't been heavily into the latter for quite some time. I also dabble in toy collecting as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Daisy Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 DVD's for me. I used to collect comic books and sports cards. My wife has been wanting me to sell off my comic collection, but it's hard to explain to her that it's not worth much. (I was collecting in the early 90's, Image and Valiant stuff) Glen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zathras Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 I'm a very "obsessive" person so whenever I get one of something I like it is suddenly a collection... but I'm trying hard to break that habit... Past/sometimes present collections includes: Pez Dispensers Chess Sets Star Wars figures Comics '64/'65 Worlds Fair Memorabilia Animation Cells Current collections: DVDs Walt Disney World stuff Arcade stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam P Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 Allen, that sounds expensive, considering you play them as well. You kinda have to buy games in pairs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bryan Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 I have about 70 Sinatra discs and albums that I treasure and listen to on a regular basis - the Chairman goes well with Links on the 'Box. I also grab the occasional vintage repro GI Joe when they come out with cool 60's frogmen or talking pilot figures. I also have several SideShow Toys Monster figures that are very well crafted. On the same monster theme, about 75% of my dvd collection is horror-based. I love to be scared! I also seem to be adding to my collection of children - up to three now!

Calvin Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 DVD's big time. Also comics, vintage videogames, sci-fi toys,Transformers, & statues/busts. X-Men stuff also... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyN Posted April 2, 2004 Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 DVD's for sure. TV shows on dvd is a pretty big hobby of mine these days. I have a small collection of film cells that i add to every once and a while as well. And now because of Ed and Tim, I now have a growing collection of Qee's. In the past i collected action figures, comics, TCG's, CCG's and so forth capt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickle Posted April 2, 2004 Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 In the past I used to have a few large collections - comics, Star Wars stuff, etc... Lately, I've been into a lot of little "micro" collections, meaning that for a short period I'll be really into collecting one small group of items. For example, just the Star Wars "Unleashed" figures. I find that I like these smaller collections much more. It's cheaper, easier to maintain/store, and actually attainable. My recent binges have been Buffy-related. The comics, action figures, and DVD's (including the UK DVD's in the ultra-cool packaging). I'm a sucker for cool packaging, so it's just killing me that I won't be getting that Alien head DVD set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orpheus Posted April 2, 2004 Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 Used to do comics and figures. I've started collecting lunchboxes, both new and old. I also collect music, especially classical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iainl Posted April 2, 2004 Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 Allen. For God's sake, man; either open and play that Otogi, or give it to me - I can't find a sensibly priced PAL copy anywhere. As tragically over the top as my DVD collection is, it still takes up less space than my CDs do, and my vinyl takes up 5 times as much space as my laserdiscs as well. Still, all of it put together only takes up about as much as my wife's book collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chatakinns Posted April 2, 2004 Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 I have always been a dabbler when it comes to collecting. I have some boxes of comic books now mixed in with Cal's. I don't collect any one line of toys faithfully, there just seems to be so many different ones out there. Dana Carvey did a comedy special where he made the point that even having a hand in a different position meant another $9.99 to pay out. I would imagine that my biggest collection is of my Pokemon stuff. And now I have started collecting Neopets things. I have a hard time passing up Transformers when I see them, and just picked up a bunch of them for Cal. I have always had a book collection.

Hank Scorpio Posted April 2, 2004 Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 DVDs for me as well, and cd's/LPs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angel P Posted April 2, 2004 Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 For me it used to be comics (primarily Spider-Man), baseball cards and TV Guides (long story, don't ask). Now, just DVDs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTello Posted April 2, 2004 Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 I've never collected anything, but I am prepared to start collecting that Alternator line of Transformers (like the WRX I have). As I mentioned before, I'll be picking up the red vipor this weekend, and the Jeep as soon as I come across it. I really hope Hasbro keeps to thier release schedule, and I hope they continue the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exile Posted April 2, 2004 Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 TV Guides (long story, don't ask Hey I do too but then again I work for them and get them free hehe. My main collections include: Dvds Laserdiscs including Star Wars the originals(neener neener) Magic the Gathering CCG but not anymore. I do have some rare cards from the Alpha/Beta/Arabian Nights days.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Monkey Posted April 2, 2004 Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 Nada, although my obsessions with tools might come close. Now I'm looking for working miniature tools to put into my BucketBoss brand MugBoss. -j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustyjaw Posted April 2, 2004 Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 The funny thing is that I wasn't a collector of anything (I don't really count CDs, or DVD) until I ran across the Qees last year. And originally I bought one of them without the intention of buying more... I now have about 220 of them, so somewhere along the way I became a collector.
