Mister Kingdom posted:They finally stopped at 180 ships in the regular collection. I still need to get about 20 more to complete the set. It kinda sucks that their line of stuff for Modern Trek is like twice the size of their Classic Trek lineup. I got the Discovery Enterprise because it's a badass redesign of the TOS version and it's loving huge compared to the rest of the stuff on my bookshelf. I hope they make one for the Cerritos from Lower Decks, that's about only other one I can see myself getting at this point.

Lmao. All the different cuts of Blade Runner, and all the different formats. It's my favorite movie of all time and I'm glad I didn't fall into the hole of collecting that. I pity you and I'm simultaneously jealous.

Christ, it’s probably easier to list what I *don’t* collect.  I have a lot of poo poo.Probably the most unique thing I collect is Weird War II alt-history occult super-science poo poo. I arguably have the largest library on this topic on the planet - comics, novels, video games, movies, tabletop miniatures games, RPGs, fiction, non-fiction, small-press conspiracy-theory poo poo, you name it I’ve got it. I’m in the middle of re-cataloguing everything, and someday I’d like to write a book on the genre. I’ve got a lot of Transformers - like 870-ish at last count. I don’t just buy every Transformer just to spend money, I’m reasonably selective but there have just been a LOT of Transformers in the last 35+ years. I collect stuff for certain fictional characters - Red Sonja, and Marvel’s Black Cat and She-Hulk specifically. Figures, statues, miniatures, bobble heads, trading cards, all kinds of stuff. I have a collection of retro video game consoles - one day I decided to see how many retro video game consoles I could hook up to my TV at once and how cleanly I could do it with the best signal quality possible, and the answer ended up being 13 consoles. Chaining off of the consoles, I jokingly collect copies of OG Doom in different formats. I only have it in formats I can actually play, though.  I have a lot of random action figures - a lot of Marvel Legends, some DC stuff, some video game stuff, movie characters for movies I like, Star Wars 3.75” stuff, Alien and Predator stuff, a lot of Jurassic Park/Jurassic World dinosaurs, a little bit of everything. I’ve got a pretty good sized collection of original comic book pin-up art and sketches and stuff, sketch cards, things like that. I’ve got a shitload of DVDs and Blu-ray’s that I’ve acquired over the years; I only buy movies I like and that I intend to watch repeatedly, I don’t just buy movies just to own them. I like getting “unique” packaging when possible - steelbooks, digibooks, stuff like that.

I’ve collected this and that over the years (MtG being a big one) but here’s what I’ve been into lately. Mostly older TTRPG books - lots of 2nd edition D&D plus a newer system called Dungeon Crawl Classics  Cassettes - analog audio I can play in the truck!  Old-school MMA VHS tapes.

I have a fair number of video games. I am in the process of moving, they are all boxed up and not on display. I got into it before the prices got ridiculous, and got most of what I wanted outside of a few gems. My local game store had Earthbound, EVO, and Harvest Moon. I told myself I would buy all three when I graduated, but somebody scooped them before that.

calculator nerds: what are your thoughts on swiss micros? I bought an hp 12c some tome ago and it’s been pretty helpful. I like RPN and I really want one of these repros of HP’s more ‘serious’ calculators but I’m not sure how much use I’ll get out of it unless I really get into the program side of things.

I suppose it counts as a collection. I have some books. I have probably twice this many books but my house isn't big enough to put up the shelves needed to put them all in, and I keep acquiring more.

I collect rocks, which is right up there with stamps in terms of the most boring possible thing to collect. At least some of the rocks I collect are radioactive, so that's exciting I guess.

Went and took some Hot Rock Pix for y'all. I keep the spicy rocks in this lead-lined box I made myself. It's kinda overkill, none of the rocks are dangerous or anything unless you try to eat them, but it was fun to make. Some Spicy Rocks: Thorite, a mineral containing thorium.  Monazite, which also contains thorium as well as some rare earth metals.  Thorium ores tend to look a bit like poop for some reason. Pitchblende, the primary ore of uranium. Just looks like a boring rock.  However, Other minerals containing uranium are actually very pretty:   Here's my most interesting non-spicy rock, it's a banded iron formation containing a stromatolite fossil. Basically, this rock was formed about two billion years ago when some bacteria decided that photosynthesis was cool and good. Up until this point, the atmosphere and oceans had no free oxygen in them, so all the iron on the earth was in metallic form. As oxygen started to accumulate, it would bind with the iron and fall to the bottom of the ocean as rust, making these banded iron formations. Eventually, the free iron ran out, and those plucky little photosynthetic bacteria managed to kill nearly all life on earth since nothing was capable of dealing with oxygen yet. This particular rock also contains a fossil of a bacterial mat known as a stromatolite, which is the squiggly shapes. So not only is it evidence of one of the greatest mass killings in earth's history, it's also got a fossil of the creatures that were killed (or maybe the creatures that did the killing, who knows)

God I'm another what haven't I collected type. Which is why I've taken to the philosophy of holding out for fewer but more expensive/desirable objects as well as sun setting a few collections that I don't have the space to display or the novelty/fun factor wore out on. Thus I've stopped with playing card decks, single issue comics, anime/game figures, vintage cameras, dice and miniature stuff. I've scaled way back on pokemon cards, lapel pins, and records and nearly have stopped with retro video games too. My current plan is to re arrange a couple of shelves so I can get some of this crap on display. I've started by setting out my boxed Kirby games to see how I like it. Also I nearly forgot about my massive paperweight collection since it's been years since I've added to it. That fills an entire cabinet by itself and I had to put some of the lame ones in storage because there wasn't enough space. I'll have to nab pics of poo poo later, when I'm not phone shitposting.

I guess I could consider my RC Cars a "collection"? I don't have photos of all of them:            These are the ones that get driven the most. I have 20 something different models ranging from small (1/24) up through large scale (1/5). Some new in box/unbuilt. The crawlers and the large scale cars see the most use. Other things? Cuff links. probably 25 pairs. Fountain pens, maybe ten or so. My wife for some reason collects the Disney Pixar Cars mini racers in the blind boxes (the little diecast) and the Hotwheels Mariokart diecast cars. Why she is into them? I have no idea. She would buy doubles so the kids could play with one and the other gets stuck in a tote and put in a closet for? Future? Investment?....(???)

I have a world class collection of Jack Chick tracts. I also have pretty decent collections of goofy old comic books, 70's custom van magazines, banned toys, 50's and 60's civil defense paraphernalia, and whatever else I happen to think is cool. And a ton of horrific Jar Jar Binks collectables because they are cheap, other people hate them, and they make me squeal with joy (internally) because I am a weirdo.

I collect baseball autographs, which is mostly signed cards and baseballs. I have other items but not as many as I have of those two things. Roughly 100-200ish baseballs, about 5000ish signed cards. In this collection I generally try and collect baseball HOFer autographs which are probably like 300+ items by itself, about 240ish unique members. Those items vary from signed cards to signed baseballs, player contracts, photos, letters, index cards, checks, cut signatures, etc.

My mother and I have an extensive collection of those on the upper windowsills of the back room. They look great with the sun shining through them but of course I can't take a pic now because it's dark out. So I'll make due with some quick and dirty highlights of my paperweights in extremely yellow lighting.       Why yes I live in a black hole of a house why do you ask? (It's always been a serious pain getting enough light for photos of my stuff with out pulling out my proper photography poo poo and setting it all up).
