Collectors, collections - what crap do you accumulate?

[buckshot]

there's a lot of interesting personalities on here. a lot of movie/technology collectors. does anybody here collect anything else? I used to collect pez dispensors (i still have about 400 of them in boxes). I still buy some interesting ones every now and then, but not so much anymore. I have lots of cds, LPs, and 45s but they're all in use so not collectables really. I also have a variety of vintage cameras I still use.

so what do you collect?

[gandley]

I collect vintage tamiya models. have loads, some rare ones that are worth a tidy penny (shrink rap,boxed early metal kits.).

Sadly i preyed upon folks who did not know how much there old kits were worth, but i'll take some form of counseling for that in hell.

Im planning on collecting new wifes as well.

The easiest way to cure a collector of his/her bad habit is make them move cross country three or four times

Movie , related items be it cool action figuers or orignal theater posters, Lobby Cards (REAL) Autographs (not the ones on ebay)my favorie item is my revenge of the jedi poster

[Galley]

CDs - I especially like imports and OOPs (out-of-print discs).

[Rob71]

Coin-op arcade games and pinball machines. My latest project is an old Skee-Ball machine.

Film scores and movie posters. The movie posters thing is kind of different though. I have about 12 frames in our theater room that I keep changing out with new posters keeping me as up to date as possible with the local movie theaters. As for film scores, I believe I got my first one for my 11th birthday (Broken Arrow by Hans Zimmer) and have been into it ever since. So I collect some promo's (not the bootleg fake kind) but other than that most of it's mainstream stuff.
