What do you collect?

Last I checked, there was quite a bit of collectors on this forum. Some collect MK stuff, action figures, comics and other stuff. I know Shira collects some RE stuff now and I know Jade collects CM Punk and Roddy Piper stuff along with RE stuff as well.

Here's a thread to show off the stuff you collect.

I collect a few things like comics and some figures, but my main collection is my Nine Inch Nails stuff. I have over $1000+ worth of stuff counting CD's, cassettes, vinyls, shirts, postcards, patches and others stuff.

- My favorite MK games.

- I used to collect Britney Spears' albums before Apple thought of making IPod.

- I'm starting to collect all the clothes I'd wear in clubs but I'm still on a tight budget so it's not a collection yet.

- When I was 8 years old I used to collect dinosaur toys.
 
I don't actively search for new stuff everyday but when the opportunity arises, I like getting my hands on

1) rare or foreign currency
2) film and video game soundtracks
3) art books (art instruction, production/concept art, or works of particular artists)

It's a shame that game OST's are so damn hard to come by in stores here in the US.

Yeah video game OSTs are hard to find, even for American-developed games. I should have bought the Skyrim soundtrack (I like it more than the game itself) while the game was relatively new, because it's ridiculously expensive right now.


It's a small collection but I have...

Films:
Blade Runner
Brave Heart
A Beautiful Mind
Jurassic Park
The Secret of Kells (recently ordered it online)

Games:
Warcraft 3
Star Ocean
Final Fantasy IV
Chrono Cross

If you want to include bonus CDs....
Blazblue: Calamity Trigger
Blazblue: Continuum Shift Extend
KoF XIII
Persona 4
Phantom Brave

I take it you collect Yugioh cards too?

I took better pictures of my cassettes because I just love these damn things. Having $200+ cassettes doesn't help either :p

I also have a Things Falling Apart cassette coming from Turkey at some point too. Should be here sometime this week.
 
I have a shit-load of Back To The Future / Delorean memorabilia, but it's too much stuff to take pictures of.

I have:

- 8 Delorean model cars (3 1:24 scale sized BTTF Deloreans, 4 1:15 scale sized BTTF Deloreans, 1 normal 1:15 scale Delorean)
- BTTF 25th Anniversary poster from when I saw the movie 3 years ago in the theater.
- Replica of Martt McFly's hat from BTTF II
- Replica of the Sports Almanac from BTTF II, which Biff uses to get rich in BTTF II
- Replica of the "Save The Clock Tower" flyer
- Replica of the "OUTATIME" license plate that was on the Mark I BTTF I Delorean
- Shirt from when I went to the Delorean Car Show in, Orlando, FL, last year signed by Bob Gale (producer), Jeffrey Weissman (George McFly, BTTF II), Claudia Wells (Jennifer Parker, BTTF I) and Donald Fullilove (Mayor Goldie Wilson).
- Pictures with Bob Gale, Jeffrey Weissman, Claudia Wells and Donald Fullilove
- Back To The Future Motion Picture score CD
- Back To The Future Motion Picture score cassette
- Back To The Future Soundtrack CD
- Back To The Future Soundtrack CD
- BTTF Trilogy on VHS
- BTTF Trilogy on DVD
- BTTF Trilogy on Blu-Ray
- BTTF Trilogy digital copy (came with the Blu-Ray, for iTunes)
- Delorean Time circuits app on my iPod Touch
- Back To The Future cuff links (for the days that I want to dress up ;))

I also got to test-drive a Delorean at the Delorean Car Show last year.
Some random person was nice enough to let me take his '82 Delorean for a spin without me even asking. ;)
I'm on the DMCTalk.org forums, constantly in touch with the Delorean Community.
I'm saving up to get a Delorean of my own.



I think that's it for now. :laugh:
