What else do we collect?

[itstwentybelow]

So, as the title says, what else do you guys collect? I have personally been a big fan of the Lego Star Wars line ever since it was introduced in 1999, and have over fifty sets. I got the Hailfire Droid and Spider Droid set last week, and just today I snapped up the Jedi Starfighter with Hyperdrive Booster Ring for $39.99 (marked down from $49.99) at Fred Meyer. Can't wait to build it later! The new Clone Wars sets coming out in August look darn cool too, especially the V-19 Torrent.

So that's one of my other collections, how about you guys?

Well, I have a numerous collection of other toys. Specifically Batman. I have 340 Batman figures (or more), tons of memorabilia, and so on. I also collect Transformers, and have about 180 of those. I also have a vast quantity of Bionicle stuff, Star Wars, plush animals, Zoids, and more. Once I get back home to Pullman, I'm gonna...re-do my basement. You're welcome to come see it, -20!

Star Wars Titanium/Die-Cast Vehicles & Starships affiliated with the Galactic Empire (Imperial Star Destroyers, Battle Cruisers, TIE Fighters, AT-AT, etc.)

LOTR, Mc farline Dragons, Some looney tunes figures, Various things bird related, including some of the "singing bird" figures (the budgies specifically) *interesting* plush birds like hornbills and ivory bill woodpeckers (though I do not collect happy ducks or turkey hats

Then also fossils, rocks, minerals, skulls, taxidermy (usually taxidermy I have done)....and on a more abstract note (as collecting is a strange term for things that require food/water/care/vet bills/love) various reptiles, birds and arachnids.

I collect recorded sound back to its origins in the 1890's. Mostly its music but I also have speechs, comedy etc. I have Jazz, Blues, Hillbilly etc. Rock and Roll and Rock primarily. I also enjoy weird and unusual music like Frank Zappa, Captain Beefheart, King Crimson, Joe Byrd and the Field Hippies, Captian Beyond, Magic Mushrooms to name a few.

For a minute, my brain read/said that you collected recorded sound back to the 1980's--the horror of a collection filled with the best of Duran Duran, Culture Club and New Wave synth pop nearly made my mind explode ;D

They're all okay--but it was really just that I was amused at the idea of specifically collecting only those recordings (and then mentally plummeting back into junior high hell).

I collect Monster In My Pocket figures from the 90's, Kenner Aliens, books and black metal CDs and records.

Fight it! You know you can!--focus on the 90s part--the aliens--anything.

[piltdown]

I can't help thinking of the song 1999 by Prince whenever I come across "Monsters in My Pocket":

"I got a lion in my pocket and baby he's ready to roar!"

;D

I used to collect books on poetry, history, architecture, evolution, and of course dinosaurs, but I'm trying to severely trim my collection and sell off most of my stuff, as I only read an anthology or two aside from the dino books anyway.

Disneyland maps - never heard of that before.

I don't collect anything other than dinos but I used to collect original star wars figures.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that doesn't really collect anything else. Unless figures of modern animals counts.

[therizinosaurus]

Oh, I forgot my other collection: Rubik's cubes!

Dinotoyforum- Disneyland creates new maps every couple of weeks, so there a lot of them to collect
