Hey, all! I would collect star wars action figures, doctor who action figures, comics, toys and bogies ( not in your nose, lol )  But what does anyone else collect? Do you even collect something? Answers here, please. Thx :D

I am a collector by nature and genetics. I love my Star Wars stuff, its not just action figures for me Its cards and lightsabers, games (I have a ton of board games Star Wars and non Star Wars) and anything else I find Star Wars.  Besides that I collect books, Titanic stuff, jeweley and beads (as a hobby/ hoping buisness), glassware (mostly milk glass), vinyl reccords and vintage hair accesories ( started as a gift from my great grandmother.) I loves stuff. My sister says I collect dressers, but that's just because I have 5.

I like books.  I have a lot of Star Wars books.  (The entire Legacy so far).  Only recently I've started buying them as opposed to borrowing from the library.

BOOKS! Man do I have Star Wars books. I started out reading them from the library, but they didn't have enough to keep me satisfied. So I started buying... like today I got The Rule of Two.

Nice list man! I myself am a huge Predator fan as well.

What did you think of the new AVP? I liked it alot better than the original, im glad they went with an R rating.

I didnt like it all that much, The Aliens really didnt seem like they were much of a threat, They got takin down faster then storm troopers. But The Predalien and Wolf Predator (I think thats his name) were pretty kick ass.

And again it was too short, look at the previous alien/predator movies (excluding avp1) they were like 2 & a1/2 hours long. think about it, a long movie is better, if they started makin the star wars movies 94 minutes they probably wouldnt do so good.

I collect Star wars .......... everything and mainly B.F and Living Dead Dolls. Also b grade horror movies and Tolkien books. My wife collects Hello Kitty stuff and we are starting to collect Nightmare before Christmas stuff too. We also collect Tattoos though they are on our body as aposed to on a shelf. I am really intrested in collecting the Droids and Ewok figures though they are getting hard to come by in a decent price range. I have one Ship from the Droid series and plan to get my first carded figures in the next two months. Japan is such a great country for people who like to collect stuff. We have days when we go into Osaka or Tokyo just to go to Toy and Collectors stores!

February 2, 2008 8:41 pm #

Oh wow peter. I am impressed. Have you posted a pic of your collection anywhere?

Its rather agrivating that canada doesnt get the good stuff, and when it does occasionly, the people selling it a jerks and way over price it, except for my local comic store, every where else sucks

For example we've all seen that lobot figure thats always there when you go to look, it never gets sold. Well at this place at edmonton that little worthless thing was like 30$ no lies, I dont think any one would even pay beyond that more normal price of 9.99$ cdn for that well i wouldnt, I mean come on its lobot he sucks

I collect a lot of stuff, mainly books.  I have started to get more star wars books, and have recently purchased the entire bounty hunter wars series.  I also collect model horses (like 50 of them) and cars (to many to count).  I don't know if you can collect fish, but I have been getting more and more of them, they are really intresting :P  I used to collect the TY beanie babies, but you don't see them around that much any more.  Anyhow, I really envy all you people who have the action figures, i haven't got around to getting any yet, and none of the stores carry any boba fett figures :(  Oh well...

Sorry CA. I only have the one Boba Figure, because when I get to the stores they never seem to have the good ones either. Those I find mostly on Ebay for redunkulous prices. Collections take time, pacence and money. Sometimes its good to talk about your collection around others so then they can get stuff for you. I've have some peices "donated".

Besides Boba Fett stuff, hmm lets see.  Well I got a good amount of Clone Troopers, and some Jedi.  I used to be big into the 3 3/4 figures but have since stopped since I was running out of room.  I do collect Resident Evil figures, and am really getting into the Sideshow Medicom Hot Toys 12" lines.   Did start collectin MOTU things but I had started to late in the show and it ended up getting cancelled about a year later. 

I did/do like MUSCLE figures and Ultimate Muscle figs, and also buy into the manga's of various series.  That is all that I can think of atm though.
