I'm actually in the process of cutting back on my collections...  but presently, I collect:

- GI Joe 25th
- GI Joe ARAH
- Warhammer Figs
- Warhammer 40k Figs
- Marvel Figures (Only the ones I really dig)
- White Dwarf Magazine
- Misc Comics
- Cool glasses
- Cool clocks


I never really collect anything with intention of completing it - but I always have an end-game in mind when I start.  I'm glad to say that my collection of 25th Figures is at that point - if I happen to get any more, it'll all just be a bonus (or boni, I guess)


I plan to start unloading a lot of my collections - either on eBay, to whomever wants them, or to the local charity thrift store.

Mostly GI Joes for me. I can't say vintage Joes because I also have some from the recent conventions. So the best way I can describe it is: O-ring Joes!

I have few Star Wars vehicle like: Tie Fighter, Tie interceptor and the Falcon and one 1:48 Robotech jet.

What I collect need to be complete, but I don't need to complete a full year (like everything in 1985) or a full sub-team (like all the Night force). I only collect what I like.

mostly things that I find cool and can actually find in my local area. Most of my collecting has died down due to my increasing family.

Besides GiJoe, I  collect:  some Star War figs (less then 30). A fair amount of LotR, A small smattering of DC Superheros, a decent amount of Marvel Legends (Toy Biz) figs. Batman and Starwars Lego, Dragon Megabloks, and couple of odds and ends like Buffy & Angel, A few TMNT, Simpsons, Family Guy. Most of those lines I really don't have any intention of collecting I just happened to stumble across them and decided I want them.  I have some old Warhammer Fantasy figs from years ago stored in the house.

As I said, most of my collecting has died down mostly dues to insuffiecient funds as a result of having kids, the 25th line is the last line I'll be collecting (no movie joes for me), once I can get most of that I'll probably stop collecting anything new and pick up only the occasional thing.

Since about age 13 music has been my main hobby for collecting. I have about 4000 albums, half vinyl and half CDs, more or less.

Also collect:

Lego (have a fifty gallon tub full and lots of sets in their original boxes)
Star Wars 90s - nearly all of it right up to the launch of TPM
DVDs - my wife and I work on this together...nearly 2500 movies on DVD, and another 1000 downloaded yikes!
Cats - I have two :D
