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:
http://home.houston.rr.com/hakkalugi...lmeshuggah.jpg
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.
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.
Besides games..I collect..
WWII War Memorabilia
Old Coins/Stamps
Old Foreign money...
Old Hot Wheels cars..
& Coca Cola Merchandise with my wife..
I collect vinyl, mostly hip hop. No pictures though.
Vinyl here, too.
Hip hop, 80s pop, some Drum and Bass.
Lately, I've just been collecting concert and movie tickets. I'll take pics when I get back home this weekend most likely.
Late 2003 - 2004 shows I've seen:
October 3 - Supergrass - At: The Social
November 11 - The Sounds, Rooney - At: The Social
December 11 - Better Than Ezra - At: HOB Orlando
January 11 - Social Distortion - At: HOB Orlando
January 12 - Guided By Voices - At: The Social
Plan on seeing the upcoming Joan Jett and Elvis Costello shows.
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 :D
EDIT: n/m bad pic-host

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.
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/themightyspud/guyver.JPG
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 :D and i recently bought a guyver cell with sketch, so i am moving in to picking them up too.

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:

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.
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.

Michael Lau Devilman :D same sort of style and way cool :)
Great figures, NeoFight.
So, how is collecting Akira-related merchandise a more efficient use of your time and space? Just curious.Quote:

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.
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....
i guess i would have to say i collect magic cards. cant really take pics of em, but i suppose i could take pics of the boxes. the sad thing is i dont really own anything all that notable.
I collect socks , i keep them in a shock box to keep them mintyQuote:

I'm waiting for a decent insert
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.
Nice MS5 rom:smirk:Quote:

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 :D
http://www.angelfire.com/games5/nint...r/P1002658.jpg
Me it is just anime =)dvd's I use to collect comic books but they don't really do anything and selling them is a bitch so I just bailed on that hobby.
Shinkuro Snk wall scrolls and posters and that is it.
MVS and anime are 2 expensive ass hobby's to be in.:(
pretty simple, smartass.Quote:

its cheaper, and it takes up a lot less space.
there you go!
Being a big Akira fan, I'm interested to know what kind of stuff you have, KA.
the comics, the manga, the movie-books, art books, laserdisc, ps2 game, dvd, tons of rare posters, calendars in giant 'pills'; etc.Quote:

pretty typical stuff.
Nice. I'd like to find a poster or wall scroll with a good image of Tetsuo on it, if you know where I could get one or would ever be interesting in selling one.Quote:

By comics, do you mean the original manga, the Marvel releases, or the collections? Or all?
1. the new collections, black and white, put out two years agoQuote:

2. the marvel series of color comics
3. the manga collections [that are more rare and nicer looking]
anything akira!
The Akira PS2 game was called Akira Psychoball.
Yea no shit, what a sloppy rom whore.Quote:

otomo related stuff too.
mostly AKIRA stuff.
what I'm truely missing that I would really like
are the rest of the hardcover epic compilations.
that and the terrible looking tetsuo statue, which is
pretty hard to find i think.
what do i care. i havent looked for ages.
too much crappy mcfarlane shit and bootleg dvds to shuffle through on ebay.
lately i ve just been finishing up my NEOGEOFREAK collection.
I'd say I'm maybe somewhere a little over 2/3rds done.
someone just had the hardcovers on ebay, all of them for 100. seller was in UK and i had no funds :(

The only 2 things I collect besides videogames are
GUITARS

and
TRANSFORMERS

Between the 3 hobbies I'm constantly broke :D
Mike
Besides vid game stuff, I collect wines, CDs/Vinyl, DVDs, posters, Air Jordans... but my favorite non gaming collection are japanese toys:
Macross/Robotech, Transformers, Gundam, Godzilla, Sentai/Rangers/Godaikins, Super Robots, etc...
Most of them are MIB boxed in other boxes for protection.
http://www.image4u.org/jviloria/collage1.JPG
I used to collect baseball cards. I have a lot but I don't do that anymore and they are just stored away. I used to collect toys but... also just stored.
I guess the only thing I really collect is Video Games. Maby Movies but thats not really a collection that is just because when I buy a movie I don't want to sell it.
It’s probably no secret to anyone that I enjoy teh spinning...
For right now, it functions both as a hobby of collecting and a craft that I delight in learning. Who knows, at some point in my life it might become something more... but for right now it gives me the opportunity to share great music with people and provides ample quantities of ‘poon... so, I’m pretty happy with it...
But I digress...
http://gallery.cybertarp.com/albums/...My_Gear_02.jpg
The picture above displays most of my collection. The crate on the floor is techno and the one on the table is a hodgepodge of hip-hop, industrial, and anything “spin-worthy.” The highlights of my collection are as follows...
http://gallery.cybertarp.com/albums/...htclubbing.jpg
This is my new Blank & Jones 5x12" vinyl box set for Nightclubbing. I’m not a huge fan of trance, but the tunes these guys kick out are nothing short of incredible. They’re probably the only trance outfit on the planet whose original album mixes are predominantly superior to the onslaught of remixes that follow, making these sets worth their weight in gold.
http://gallery.cybertarp.com/albums/..._Substance.jpg
I’ve had this set for a while and still love it to death. Both of these I got on eBay for next to nothing. These sets are ridiculously elaborate, with glossy picture sleeves for each vinyl and stylish artwork all around. I wish I could go into more detail with the pictures, but I’d hate to spam up the thread...
http://gallery.cybertarp.com/albums/...SM_Balance.jpg
For anyone in-the-know about quality hip-hop, here’s one of the best underground albums ever, presented with the über-rare DJ Vadim album cover. Yes, this is the much-sought-after Jazz Fudge pressing of Swollen Members seminal first album, Balance. Again, I thank the eBay gods for this, a priceless incarnation of their divine abundance...
http://gallery.cybertarp.com/albums/...hite_Label.jpg
If you watched the trailer for Underworld and fell in love with the dark and sexy background music (and who didn’t...?), this is your record. Cut by the tragically short-lived Agent Provocateur (sort of Prodigy meets Portishead), this incredibly rare white label single has four mixes of their most famous hit: Red Tape. It even came with a hilarious xerox band bio and track listing. I cannot even approximate the rarity of this item, but the sacristy of this band’s material coupled with their newfound fandom can only place it somewhere in the realm of almost non-existent.
http://gallery.cybertarp.com/albums/...rdruck_Fat.jpg
Lord knows I’ve typed the praises of German acid guru Uberdruck until my hands hurt, so it was with great joy that I first laid eyes upon this: my Uberdruck - Fat As Fuck picture disc. As if picture discs and Uberdruck weren’t cool enough as separate entities, some crafter of whim and desire saw fit to meld these two delights together to form what is perhaps the perfect marriage of sound and style. Watching this crazy motherfucker spin around my table at 45rpm while the sick acid baseline oozes forth from my speakers satisfies the most primal of urges and once-dormant and impulses... Fear the Uberdruck!
http://gallery.cybertarp.com/albums/...bie_Nation.jpg
Most everyone should be familiar with Zombie Nation’s inadvertent anthem Kernkraft 400. However, what you might not be familiar with is the album it first appeared on: Gigolo Records 28th release, Leichenschmaus. But while the now-infamous Bootleg Live Mix makes its runs around the clubs and football matches, listeners to this album will be struck by a lack of hard-hitting house stompers and instead be delighted by an eclectic (and sometimes brilliant) mix of camp techno, electroclash, and 80s-themed electronic experimentalism. That and the cover is just about the funniest thing ever...
That’s about all I collect right now. Hope you enjoyed it...
I also collect DVDs, CDs, and HC Fantasy and SF books (especially first editions, and I have several signed copies). I also have a small collection of 1:18 scale die-cast cars. I don't have any pics, though.
BTW, Lost In Translation is a great movie! Kevin Shields even wrote some of the score.
I got millions of red and white blood cells.:buttrock:
G1 transformers..
thats not much oxygenQuote:

Well, I don't COLLECT anything. Through my hobbies I have accumulated alot of items (over 325 DVDs right now and my last count of VHS was over 500. I have over 150 games). I do not really collect them as I would never show them off as a collection, and most things are in used (by me) condidtion and I do not care about spine cards and such for games.
I do have some collectable items (I have all the McFarlane Akira Action figures, some collectiors edition DVD's like the Metal Akira Box [scratched in a move]) but not too much.

I was going to ask if that was the Guyver that came with the limited edition of Guyver manga vol. 21. I missed out on the end-of-August (IIRC) deadline to have my Japanese bud pre-order it for me, but I got lucky and scored one at Kinokuniya Bookstore a few weeks ago in Shinjuku. Where'd you get yours, if you don't mind my asking?Quote:

Yeah hes probably right, Maximus was reissued uneough times cause he appears in Headmsasters, Masterforce, Car Robots & maybe Battlestars too....not always as "Fortress" though, he also had a brother (or some other TF relation of sorts) as Brave......or something:loco:Quote:
