Do you collect anything?

[leodoom85]

If I have to say something about collection...I collect some souvenir from every city that I go...

I do like to collect old games and consoles, right now i have the N64 with 4 Games (Perfect dark, Donkey Kong 64, Star wars Shadow of the empire and Super Mario 64) also im planning to buy the SNES Classic edition

I wasted so many hours on Shadows it's ridiculous. I dunno why the game got so many harsh reviews.

 

Still prefer Goldeneye to Perfect Dark though. The alt fires for half the weapons were cheap as hell, and getting so much as slapped fucked up your vision for hours.

[Phade102]

I'm a bit childish apparently, because I collect pokemon things. I have 99% of the games, I have a lot of plushies and the cards. I just love pokemon.

[Nine Inch Heels]

I collect:

 

-High heels (Who'd have thought?)

 

-Kitten gear for obvious reasons.

 

-Bullet hell shmups and their OSTs, because those have lots of variety, and they're wonderful.

[Merry Widow]

I collect hand crocheted snakes and bugs and spiders.

I sorta do the same with boots (witchy looking ones, gothy ones, and combat boots) and most any kind of choker, including kitten gear.  I seriously have more pairs of boots than I have pairs of pants XD

[Yugiboy85]

I collect stamps. 

 

Nah, kidding, I collect mangas. I like mangas heh

[Jon]

I think I've stopped collecting things. Perhaps. I'm actually going very much the other way, and getting rid of much of what I own. I sold nearly all of my doom miniatures a year or so ago, and kept just one - but now I'm going to sell that too. I'll get rid of my big boxes and manuals and floppies. Old computers and hardware and the like are going. I'm not keeping old geeky conference t shirts or other mementos like that.

 

Things I am keeping, at least for now: books by a select few authors (Pratchett, Iain Banks, Kim Stanley Robinson). I have a small-to-medium collection of vinyl records, but I am trying to control that. I'm not buying any more storage for them so if I want to get any more I have to get rid of some first. I don't tend to buy newly pressed records, I'm mostly interested in historic ones. Mostly old Factory Records era and similar.

@YukiRaven, I posted this before I saw your response.  Haha

[Tracer]

As far as real collections go...I like to find unboxed VHS movies.  I have a lot of the original startrek series.

[Doom_Dude]

I collect hockey cards but I just like general collecting and buying a few things on ebay. Once in a blue moon I'll buy a box of whatever.

 

I collect music, most of which is on CD's. Not sure what the count is now. Must be over 300 albums on CD and about the same on cassette, some vinyl. Rock, metal, jazz, classical, etc...

 

Ok so I did a count on my CD collection and came out with 531.

[Fuzzball]

I have over 900/950+ CDs right now :P Collection is still growing too

I used to avidly snatch up any sci-fi show/movie I could find, to the point where it made up the vast majority of my DVD collection. My insatiable appetite left me feeling I could never have enough of it, until I found Stargate SG-1. That was enough then. Going through eight seasons in a short period was more than enough for me. Though I enjoyed it, I haven't been able to stomach watching anything on TV in the three years that have lapsed since.

[thaquoth]

I used to be kind of into the idea of owning extensive collections of media (films, music, games...) when I was younger.

 

The thing is, at some point I have noticed that having too much... stuff is not good for me, mentally. Specifically physical things in my apartment. Since then I've greatly reduced the amount of things that I own + have digitalised a lot of media. But even there I'm pretty rigorous about not getting bogged down with too much stuff I don't really care about.

 

Never felt better in my life, honestly. Getting rid of things is so cathartic.

[TwinBeast]

I collect dust with the vacuum cleaner.

I collect yu-gi-oh cards (kinda) and good doom mods ;)

I got back into YGO last year since I had a couple friends that were getting back into it. Unfortunately, it's a fad that quickly died off and now nobody else in my area plays it. Go figure, just as I had a solid deck that I put about $50 into. 

 

I wouldn't play competitively though. Pendulums are so broken. 

[Chow Yun Thin]

I used to collect airsoft models. Occasionally I'd plink at a target, but I never got into the airsoft scene.

 

My brother-in-law collects a lot of Marvel statues (Bowen, Sideshow and Kotobukiya are the main 3, as my sister tells me). Strangely enough, he has few statues/models from Mobile Suit Gundam despite being a big fan.

[129thVisplane]

All I'm currently collecting is non-physical: midis from Doom wads, desktop wallpapers, and pixel dragons. Physical stuff is too expensive for a broke freeloader like me.

 

I do have a few physical collections that I haven't added anything to in a long time. That includes tiny porcelain cat statues, plushies (i sleep with only my favorite two these days, thinking of donating the rest to actual children) and Bella Sara cards. I also used to collect pretty rocks but had to get rid of those when we moved to Prague.

 

Also my dad is a big collector of ww2 stuff and war stuff in general. He has a giant collection of various rusty ww2 garbage he found with a metal detector. There's not a shelf in this apartment without even a little sprinkle of ww2 on display.

[WadArchive]

Besides wads/doom stuff lately I have been collecting consoles, especially if they have some kind of modding that can be done (or can play doom). So far I have:

 

Atari 2600 (composite modded)

Sega Master System (region, 50/60hz and FM modded)

NES (region modded)

Sega Saturn (phantom mod chip and a 'gamers cart' http://ppcenter.webou.net/satcart/#gamers)

Playstation (soon to be modded)

Playstation 2

Sega Dreamcast

Nintendo 64

Wii

Xbox (soft modded with larger HDD, soon to be hard modded)

Xbox 360

Sega Game Gear (repaired it and upgraded the LCD)

Atari Lynx (upgraded LCD)

Gameboy (original with backlight)

Gameboy Advanced (soon to be back lit)

 

I got a 32x on the way, hopefully works/repairable (was sold as is) but will need to get a mega drive for it first.

[Jon]

Unless I am mistaken, this PARTIAL Reaper mini collection sold for $10,000!

[june gloom]

This isn't so much a collection as it's a shelf for stuff that I think deserves to be on a shelf.

 

This isn't 100% up to date, but here's the list:

 

Top: Thief trilogy (Gold version of T1)

Middle: Alien VHS | Japanese King's Field trilogy, System Shock 1 (CD edition) and 2 | Bioshock collector's edition

Bottom: S.T.A.L.K.E.R. trilogy, Fallout 3 and New Vegas collector's editions, Fallout 4 | Deus Ex, Invisible War, and Human Revolution collector's edition, Blade Runner adventure game (recent purchase)

 

Not shown, but recently added: My copy of King's Field The Ancient City, aka King's Field 4 in Japan. I've had it for a while, I only just added it out of my regular games collection. The reason I have the Japanese versions of KF is because KF1 was never released in the United States; instead, they slapped KF1's cover on KF2, took the 2 off the title, and marketed KF2 as KF1, and did the same thing for KF3 in a very Final Fantasy-esque move.

 

Looking for: Pathways into Darkness and the Marathon trilogy in their original boxes, Shadow Tower (either US or JPN) and Shadow Tower Abyss.

[Doomkid]

things I collect

 

• NES games
• Genesis games
• Famicom games
• STIs
• Consoles
• objects
• things
• a lot of stuff

I actually found a thread from mid 2014 asking this same question, there's a list there that's only kinda outdated but quoting something from another thread requires some kind of black magic which I have yet to master

what??

[Tracer]

@Doomkid, to quote from another thread, all you need to do is click the plus sign next to the word "quote.". Then a little black box appears that says "Quote 1 post."

 

Go to any other thread on the board, and that black box will appear again.  Click it, and your quoted section will appear in your response.

Thanks Trace!

I know I'm a bit tardy to the party, but I'm a nutcase about collecting old games.. It's much harder in AUS than it was back in the US - Thrift stores are called op shops here, but rarely do you find electronics. ebay has helped me greatly, though - Sometimes you find gold for cheap.

Here's a list of cartridges and CD's I own, plus weird little adapters and shit. I've added some info/opinions about the more obscure titles. There's about 200 in total:

(I've owned two different PS2 consoles, both crapped out after like 2 months, so fuck that noise. Had to sell Devil May Cry and Crash Bandicoot, which was a shame.. I also have pretty much every emulator out there, NES, N64, PSX, MAME Arcade, etc etc - I don't technically own these so I ain't gonna list them.)

Pretty sure that's official nerd status right there..

I also miss flea markets! Back in Sanford (in Florida) there was a great place for retro games - Flea World. Hell, it was fun to go there just to get some heart-stopping corn dogs and ride some rides.

EDIT: Here's a bit of a ball buster. I used to own Zombies Ate My Neighbors on SNES, and sold it for like 5 bucks. Now it's going for $60 on ebay - But it gets worse. I also used to own Flintstones: Surprise At Dinosaur Peak - Again, sold it for about 5 bucks.... Look on ebay if you want to see why that's fucking devastating! But Hey, Castlevania: Dracula X costs well over $100 usually and I got it for like $30, so I guess you give and you get.

 

 

[YukiHerz]

I don't collect anything, except self disappointment.

[DesecratorJ]

I'm collecting Metal bands t-shirts, wasn't my intention at first but couldnt stop myself from buying more, so I end up with a shitload of them. 

[Lizardcommando]

I collect vinyl toys (primarily from Kidrobot) and Gundam model kits.
