What else do you collect?

Post by Snickerd00dle »

I didn't see another post like this after searching, but what else does everyone here collect? Videogames take up a lot of my time and money, but over the years I have built up collections in Pez dispensers, records, and assorted Star Wars stuff, anyone else?

I collect assorted glass/plastic/aluminum drinking vessels, and no I don't keep them to show off my alcoholic conquests (as in I don't really have any). Someday I'm gonna make a bottle tree. Also, I collect neat paper clippings, strings, feathers, certain rocks/stones (not jewelry), any sort of interesting object... okay it sounds like trash but it's supposed to be for "art."

Why am I here, again?

German military memorabilia specifically from 1871-1945, but I'll also collect from other countries as well (Italy, America, etc)

I had this goal once of collecting everything on IGN's Ultimate Bookshelf list of graphic novels as a way for me to make for all the great comic books I had missed out on over the years. It was a lofty, expensive goal that I didn't complete, but it did get me reading some new stuff and a little more knowledgeable about comic books. I got into Y:The Last Man as a result and ended up getting every volume. Great stuff.

I do have a pretty decent collection of all notable Batman related material from Dark Knight Returns, to Long Halloween, Year One, Mad Love, etc. I'm a big Batman fan.

I also like to collect all things Joss Whedon. Pretty much any DVDs or comic books that he has been involved in. I've got all of Buffy, Angel and Firefly on DVD. I've collected all the canon season 8 Buffy and season 6 Angel comics, even buying more than one of some issues for the cool variant covers.

I have phases I go through with collecting. Years ago, I used to collect anime then lost interest. I went through a DVD movie collecting phase for awhile but with the constant format changes we've seen over the years(VHS, DVD, Blueray)and constant double dips and re-releases of EVERYTHING, I have sort of lost interest in collecting movies. It seems like every time you buy a movie these days they find a way to try and convince you buy it again. I'm glad we don't see much of that in the game industry

Collected Magic:The Gathering cards for a while back in high school, which I could probably see myself doing again if I found a group of people who are into playing it as well as trading and collecting.
