Do you collect anything?

Want to show us your collections?

It can be anything within reason - post it here!

Downup · 12-04-2004, 09:25 AM

LoL..Nothing realy...

Well i got 12 stephen King movies

Chris-3DT · 12-04-2004, 09:41 AM

I collect nothing, but I don't have very much of that.

I guess one could say I'm bibliophil: I collect books. But I collect them to read 'em.

Corth · 12-04-2004, 10:18 AM

I like these kind of threads! I love to collect things, mostly miniatures of the warhammer 40k universe (blood angels specifically). I'm going to be expanding my collection to more medieval/fantasy as well, probably from reaper mini's, then I'll be getting molds and such from hirstarts.com, hehe, I'm such a geek

novoAlias · 12-04-2004, 11:37 AM

i used tyo collect warhammer 40k until i started thinking about what else i could do with the price tags

before that i collected rocks

and noe... i guess i collect money

until i spend it all of course

Psistorm · 12-04-2004, 12:37 PM

well, dust, apparently

now for the more reasonable things:
- battle angel alita books, got the whole series + some last order (man, that series rocks!)
- terry pratchett books (got like 20 of em already)
- old hardware stuff, not too much tho

novoAlias · 12-04-2004, 06:09 PM

oh yea we have all the terry pratchett books

but we didnt collect them, we just bought and read them

Daniel · 12-04-2004, 06:44 PM

well... I used to collect comic books, got a good 600 spiderman's at home. Figure I'll sell em in a decade or two and make a fortune.

Fusion · 12-04-2004, 06:53 PM

I collect computers.........lots and lots of computers. Its a little of a slow start for me since I only have 2 but maybe in another decade or so ill have 3

Ironbuket · 12-04-2004, 08:40 PM

@Fusion
I collect computers too, simply because I dont want to get rid of them. I finally threw away my first computer a few months ago, it was hard. Its not just useful stuff either; I have a 386 sitting in the hall outside my room. I dont know why I keep it, but everytime I think of throwing it away, a little voice in my head says "but it works" and so it continues to sit there...

I still have all my pre-PC computers in the attic too, I dont know why...

Chris-3DT · 12-04-2004, 08:51 PM

Well, my little book collection, if you want to call it one, currently clocks at 270 something and counting. The amount of volumes is a lot higer, e.g. I'm counting Kindler's Literature Lexikon with its 22 volumes as one book.

not really many books, but always getting more and more. By the end of the year I should have 400 (I think i've got 350 now).

NoJo · 12-04-2004, 11:50 PM

You've read all of them? How old are you?

Ironbuket · 13-04-2004, 12:51 AM

I don’t know if this applies to Chris, but this reminds me of a quote I picked up somewhere long ago

Someone is showing a guest their library (a large room in their house full of books) and the guest comments: “Have you really read all of these books? To which the owner remarks: “What would be the use of keeping a library full of books you have already read?”

Jon · 13-04-2004, 05:25 AM

Wow, this is great!

I'm glad people are sharing their collections (mostly books)...

Let's keep going - anyone else collect ANYTHING?

Thanks,

Jon.

NoJo · 13-04-2004, 05:43 AM

I'm collecting different soda cans and money from different countrys and centuries

Haven't got that many soda cans... about 30 to 35 maybe, haven't got that much money either... just a little box with all the coins in.
