Hi there,
I've just finished covering and cleaning my collection of 1:18 scale cars, and I thought: "These guys of TCP have awesome videogame collections, do they collect other things?" So, this is why I started this new topic.
For example, I collect:
- 1:18 scale car modelling (19 cars).
- Stickers (About 400 more or less).
- Pocket calendars (230 pocket calendars).
- Dragon Ball Z (From Saiyans Saga till the beggining of Buu's Saga).
- Ultimate Spider-Man (Complete first volume).
- Movies (22 movies).
- 'Nintendo Accion' Magazine (This is the Spanish version of The Official Nintendo Magazine of the USA).
- 'NGamer' Magazine (Complete collection - about 20 magazines - as it dissapeared when the world crisis started).
You can post photos of your collections if you want.
Hope you like the topic.
Regards.

- Comics Books (Been collecting since I was 5 or 6, I don't get as many as I uses to since I find that many of the series have gone really downhill.)

- Apple Computers (This is a collection I've been doing with my Dad for years, We're big Apple fans and we easily have over 50 different models.)

- Movies (Me and my wife have over 1000 movies currently, not sure of the exact number since we are currently cataloging them finally)

- Books (Lots of Biographies for Steve Jobs, Steven Spielberg, Bruce Campbell, Leonard Nimoy and Kevin Smith, Making of Movies/Videogames books, Classic SciFi, some Fantasy, Almost everything written by H.G. Wells,  Dan Brown, Michael Crichton and Douglas Adams)

- Ninja Turtles (I have a TON of Turtle stuff, with almost all of it autographed. I got into the Turtles before they became mainstream, so I have first print copies of all the back & white comics. The only area where I didn't go crazy in was the action figures, I have the first series for each show, but I didn't go off and get all the shitty spin-off figures)

- Power Rangers Toys (Collected stuff from the first 5 series, once me and my wife buy a house I'm considering going back and trying to fill in the missing series)

- VideoGames / Movies / Anime Figures and Models (I have a bunch of random ones for different things I like)

- Scene it (I have almost all the different versions)

- CookieMonster stuff (Something pretty new that I've started collecting, I don't go out of my way to get them, if I find something at Goodwill or at a yard sale I pick it up)

I think that is about it I'm pretty sure I'm missing something. :p

My wife collects Home Grown figures, Disney's Cinderella, and SpongeBob stuff.

I collect RCA Videodiscs, have for years actually I have 135 moves on CED (out of 1500). If you don't know what the format is, James Rolfe (AVGN) did a video on them once. CED Player, and I am always looking for more disks. One time, I walked into a goodwill near me carrying a disk and asked if they had any of the disk, turns out they had a huge box full of them in the back room, had them since the early 90's and they just GAVE them to me just to get rid of em.



a better look at an individual disk



I'd like to be able to repair the spines, notice that mine are all torn up? Thats because sometimes people store them spine down, and when you flop through the disks, it tears the spine up.

Have to open the floor and check during the summer.

Not to forget dust. I have some real quality dust :)

I don't collect too much beside video games and video game related stuff.

I collect movies (all genres, DVD and BluRay) and comic books (mainly image; Spawn, Witchblade, Darkness, Fathom and miniseries or one-shots that catch my attention). If anyone can find Glimmer Rats then check that out.

I collect...Sonic items! It's not a huge collection, though. I mostly have the comics and some toys along with the newer games (since I sold my Genesis years ago. Sad day for me...).
For the comic, I have approx #54-#224 of the main series. I am missing a couple in the 70-80 numbers. I also have #1-13 of Sonic X and #1-25 of Sonic Universe.

Here's an old picture. I've bought a few more toys and comics and games since then.

Let's see...I also have a bunch of Nintendo Power magazines. Issues #150-264. I have a whole bunch of e-Reader cards. Uh...Pokemon cards I have a lot of. I have many collections. They take so much of my money...

I have a relatively small (25-30) CD collection I started last summer. Ever since I started driving I bought CD's because I didn't have a radio transmitter til recently. I also feel the need to pay back all the artists I've "borrowed" music from. ::)

As a kid I used to buy Electronic Gaming Monthly every single month at newstand. I did this for about 3-4 years and for some reason never bought a subscription... I also have a hefty stack of GameInformers from a few years of GameStop subscriptions. Now I have the internet ::)

Edit: Almost forgot about my sizable collection of comic books (200-400). Got a huge stack of em one day as a kid when some guy at the car dealership saw I was wearing a Spider-Man shirt. It was a tad expensive to keep up with, so eventually I stopped.

Like many, I too collect DVDs and CDs, though I have recently slashed said collection and am now only keeping/buying the movies and albums I find impossible to part with.

Other than that I collect Fraggle Rock and Muppet things, most notably plush dolls and PVC figures.  And honestly, my favorite thing to collect is books, particularly romance novels from the early 1900s (basically anything before 1960).  I don't get too picky about condition of them like some book collectors.  I do look for original dust jackets and good spines, but I actually prefer them to have some signs of being owned and read before me.

Well you could say I collect DVDs too, have ~800.
Not really collecting, they have just accumulated over the years.
