So obviously, everyone collects neo to some extent, and many multiple platforms as well. But what about non-gaming stuff? Have any cool collections of anything else you've spent years amassing. Personally, when i was younger it was toys obviously, wish I would have held on to my first gen transformers shit... Now besides games and crap its shoes and watches... both of which drain your wallet about as fast as buying aes games...So what do you collect? Discuss

I collect shoes, my shoes are worth more than my gaming collection.

I collect Zoids, Gundam Master Grade Kits, and various action figures (unopened). I also have a small sword Collection w/ my prize piece being a 70 or 80 year old Samurai Sword from Japan. It was taken to war during WWII and somehow made its way to the states.

@breal- What kinda shoes are you into? I don't go for the dressy stuff myself but I have a few. I really do like nice sporty shoes however. I have a range from cheap crap from classic converse(cause hey, they're still cool) up to some high end tod's and shit. My dress pair are bruno magli's. But the sporty shoes are more for me. Love tod's alot. And I like some ferragamo and zegna.

Anime and other DVDs, mostly anime though.

Cds.

Hos, obviously I'm a pimp, as you can tell by my hobbies :loco:

@Domino-chan- Where do you pick up your import art books? Do you know of any good online retailers that specialize in that stuff? I have a few myself but I'm always on the look-out for game art books. I have some of the old capcom illustrations books, all the MGS books and few FF books, and one snk book. I usually find them at japanese book stores, but an online place would be nice.

Used to collect comics circa 1988.

Nowadays it's Japanese action figures,statues,trading figures and capsule toys.

Laserdisks.

DVDs.

Posters. (I have way more than I will ever be able to display)

Chinese and Japanese artwork. (watercolor scrolls,prints,paper art,decorative ornaments)

I guess I like to collect stuff to look at :spock:

I also have a small collection of martial arts weapons, but I practice with them so they are not on display.

I collected comics and baseball cards at one point (when I was a youngster), but honestly I really can't afford to collect much else besides Neo Geo stuff. I sort of collect games for other systems, SNES and DC mostly, but I don't really collect other stuff besides games. Well, not unless you consider porn off of Kazaa collectible. :kekeke:

Most of mine come from ebay, though some I've amassed from my travels to San Francisco's Japanese book stores. Others I found through www.jpqueen.com, an online used book stop. They're very reasonable and the books are in good condition.

Mostly ancient artifacts. Egyptian and Roman/Greek are the bulk, but a decent amount of oriental, celtic, and judo-christian/hebrew items as well.
