Collect anything besides games? Take pics.

Kid Aphex · Jan 26, 2004

I don't "collect" games anymore cause I find it a waste of time and space.

I do however, collect Akira-related merchandise.
Other than that, I'm currently busy collecting rare tool posters from concert venues, etc.
They're all pretty bizarre.

For example:

BlackSpy · Jan 26, 2004

I collect carpets, no pictures though.

They are pretty good as they don't take up space, they are on the floor, they are pratical, I like the way they look and you have a defined limit based on the size of your place. I have five just now and no more floor space.

I collect oxygen. I breathe in millions of oxygen molecules every 2 seconds.

Zeekade Zarathos · Jan 26, 2004

Pat answer: Souls.

I don't really collect games, either (I actually haven't bought a game in about a year, now, which is one reason for my absence)...I guess I don't really "collect" anything, now. To me, collecting something is when you buy it "just to buy it" and for no other reason than to just have it sit on your shelf.

I buy books, comic books and DVDs regularly, but I would't say I collect them, though.

That TOOL poster's cool, by the way.

PUNJABEE · Jan 26, 2004

I used to collect girls but my wife made me quit when I met her... so technically I stopped collecting a few years back... even had to get rid of teh proofs

BeefJerky · Jan 26, 2004

EDIT: n/m bad pic-host

NeoDragoN · Jan 26, 2004

Figures i love figures Devilman and Guyver mostly but others sneak in like spawn, DBZ, Jojo, Godzilla (quite a few actually )....pic is of the 3 fewture Devilman figures from the Nirasawa OVA.

I'm upto about Devilman 35 figures from 3 inch to 10 inch to keyrings. ( This is the only pic i have online and my camera is'nt charged )

Guyver figures are'nt really figures best i can get is the Maxfactory models, there pre painted and you just have to trim them and glue them. Only have 1 at the moment that being Aptom V, there ridiculously expensive on Ebay compared to in Japan so i have holded off them for a while.

Recently released Guyver 21 came with a 12 inch Max Factory Guyver 1 so it was a must for me to get

Apart from figures i buy alot of Manga, jap or not again Guyver and Devilman Come First DBZ sneaks in alot

and i recently bought a guyver cell with sketch, so i am moving in to picking them up too.

Samurai Spirits Manga rocks!

Metal Fatigue · Jan 26, 2004

Im not much of a collector for things unless its art really. Aside from artwork and some movie posters I collect some of these, asian Designer vinyl figures:

FUTURE MICKEY; real 24k gold, mechanical parts, want it buts its $800.

Fling the monkey, the company that makes it has the Monkey Show at the designer toy expos in HK/JP and various artists paint and designer etc... to a fling and submit it, I will actually be participating in it next year to rep myself as a multimedia/graphics designer.

slerch666 · Jan 26, 2004

I "collect" DVDs. Of course, when you say "collect" you make it sound like you don't do anything with them. I do, however, watch my DVDs on a regular basis. My collection is currently 1168 I think.

I also have a few Anime/Game related statues, along with some artbooks and what have you.

I guess I "collect" games as well, though I play them as well, so it's not just "collecting."

I'll take pictures of all of my DVDs as soon as I get a chance and have the time to post them.

So, how is collecting Akira-related merchandise a more efficient use of your time and space? Just curious.

ajk1080 · Jan 26, 2004

How come no one responded to my Michael Lau thread??? I want to start collecting his shit, I'm bidding on his NY Fat figure on E-bay now. His shit is dope. I first read about him in Wired magazine.. You guys should check out some of his stuff, its very limited to like <500 pieces, some pieces are <200!!! Just like neo home cart collecting. Just go to the bay and search Michael Lau.

Earthquake · Jan 26, 2004

I collect horror movie memorabilia such as original mint posters from the 70's and 80's, action figures, DVD's, laserdiscs, props, etc.

I like scary movies....

not sonic · Jan 26, 2004

I collect socks , i keep them in a shock box to keep them minty

Books

But collecting books is probably one of the most potenially expensive hobbies I can imagine.

Right now my book collection is relatively small and modest, without alot of rare or expensive titles. The nicest pieces I have are a 1963 British edition of 'The Hobbit' which is only the second revised version (The Hobbit was revised extensively 3 times by tolkien to bring it's story more in line with The Lord Of the Rings), a library bound edition of "Wolf Hunting in France during the reign of Louis the XIV- The story of the 'Beast of the Gauvedan" the only historical account ever published in Engish on this subject. And all 3 original Arkham House editions of the works of H.P. Lovecraft.

When I actually have gobs of expendable $$$ I am going to build up a nice collecction though, especially with authentic works from the past on stuff like witchcraft and the occult.

Wait...you mean there is more to life then collecting games?....oh dear....

Seriously, I collect statues of gargoyles, shot glasses and anything with a skull on it, especially during Halloween when they sell those goblet cups with pretty skulls on them
