I've been "collecting" CDs for about 15 years, so I have somewhere around 800 of them.

Lately I have been buying the Round 5 MMA figures.  I used to collect a lot of toys, especially the Superhero Squad figures but decided it was taking up too much money so I got rid of them.  Funny thing is I don't really like comics, but the figures were kind of neat.

My big collection now is musical instruments.  I have 2 drum sets, a keyboard, an ocarina, a banjo, a mandolin, a clarinet, a contrabass guitar (a guitar tuned an octave lower), & my basses.  I have 10 of them right now plus an upright, everything from fretless to 8-string.  Best thing is that I can play all of them.  Some, like the clarinet, I'm really not that good at.  For the most part I don't think I'm too bad, not great, but not bad. :-\

Well, I realized from your answers that I just take into acount the things I'm collecting nowadays, forgeting about the ones of the past (Yeah, I'm a disaster), so I updated my first post a bit.
BTW, I see that not only your videogames collection are awesome.

Other than video games.

Heavy Metal CDs I usually like alot of different styles of metal.  However the more unusual it is. The more I like it. I have about 200 371 CDs ( I had to count them out, last number didn't seem correct.)  ::)

Anime DVDs 200-250 currently ( I dont think this ones close either.)
Magic The Gathering cards. I've got somewhere around 35,000-40,000 cards

I collect CDs and Vinyl, plus I try to read a lot so I guess you can say I collect books. But I'm not very serious about any of the things I collect. I don't keep track of what I have and what I don't, and I don't make lists of stuff I want to buy, etc etc.

3&3/4" G.I. Joes, CDs, DVDs/Blu-Rays, books, video game magazines, Sports Illustrated magazines, NBA trading cards, tons of old VHS tapes with self-recorded sporting events on them. A lot of it is from my youth that I just never threw away. I'm sure it all pales in comparison to most of you since I sell a fair bit of my stuff off on the regular, check stuff out from the library for free, or just use services like Netflix, etc. instead of buying much anymore...
The last time I bought a Blu-Ray or DVD was about a year ago. And a CD? Even longer than that. Nonetheless, my video game collection is easily the largest of my collections.

Vinyl Records. I have 2 or 3 hundred albums and a metric ton of 45s. Albums are a mix of older and newer stuff but the 45s are mostly music from my childhood, the 80s.

I was in New Hampshire last weekend and blew $40+ solely on Nine Inch Nails CD's. I now have 6 out of 20-something halos, and I'm already getting that tingle that makes me want them all.

I just started collecting the brand new Mega Man comic series from Archie Comics which is awesome so far.  Before that, I used to be an avid Sonic the Hedgehog comic book collector that was also from Archie Comics, but I lost interest in the series since it got too weird and strange for me after Sonic got the green eyes and new shoes.  I also collected the manga volumes of Dragon Ball Z.
