DVDs and videogames/systems among other things, I just collect a little of everything which drives my wife crazy. I'm getting better but will always collect DVDs and videogames. The DVD thing is great but it can be a pain when I want a specific item. For instance, the Sleepaway Camp survival kit, I couldn't just get the regular one I had to hunt around until I found the Red Cross out of print one. Same with the boomstick edition of Army of Darkness, the Univerrsal Monsters set with the busts, etc...

Just books and movies. Most of my books are back in Georgia though, no room in here, we need to build another room just for them if I am ever going to have them here. :o And our movie collection is building slowly, we are still way behind lots of others.

I have been collecting music for over 40 years. No, that's not a typo. I love bizarre and unusual music the best.

I used to collect comics but I had to sell most of them (at great loss) at various points in my life to make ends meet.

My first 45 was "The Battle of the Green Berets" by Sgt Barry Sadler.

of course I have nothing compared to your collection.

i think its just called Vinyl ..

pretty crazy collections in that one.

i am able to guestimate mine because they are on a wall .. each section holds so many.

i'm thinking i dont have anywhere near what you have but i know there's at least 4000 - 5000 there.

Yes.

I collect U. S Presidential signatures and vintage movie stars as well as some historical items. I have 17 albums of signed photos and signatures of film and TV performers, as well as some from pop music and opera.

I have a signature, document or photo signed by every president from U. S. Grant ( 18th President to Geo. W. Bush. I also have a document signed by Martin Van Buren (8th president) and a signature by Millard Fillmore ( 13th president). I only need 15 more to go as well as whoever our new president will be.

I also collect movies and have a large DVD collection. I have a nice collection of books to supplement the DVD's on film, performers, film and TV history as well as some biographies.

I am also a music fan and have a large collections of LP's, CD' some 78"s and a few 45'S.

I am thinking about renting a motel room to live in and come to my house when I want to fool with my collectibles. Lol!

I collect dvds. I wouldn't consider what I have at this point a *collection*. Until a few months ago I would buy anything that looked good, but now I want all quality, so... yeah. Not to mention i've had to upgrade a few to 2discs due to my ocd nature... so I have about 130. Working on changing that...

What do you collect? ...DVD's 'n action figures. Blah blah blah...

I'm afraid that I have MPD and that urge is one of my personalities. God, that's horrifying.


I am, of course, just bullshitting... except about being afraid. I leave for a year, and decide to come back out of the blue. One week later, urge shows up. I don't remember blacking out, but hey...

What would you want for your soul? I mean, in stories people are to be given wealth, power, and shit like that. However, you do realize that it never happens. They get shitted, so I'm not going to even bother. Do you have anything reasonable in mind?

@Vamp... It's like one of those "Becareful what you wish for" scenarios, isn't it.;)

i have an updated pic of the DVD collection (and laserdiscs)

the DVDs are 2 deep. I had to start shoving them into more shelving that starts in the left of the picture that you cant see... which is annoying but i had no choice. i've simply run out of room.

picture kind of sucks because of the DVDs reflecting the flash

in typical gen-x slacker fashion, I half-ass collect a lot of stuff. but the main things I collect are:

1. Vintage Theme Park Memorabilia. I collect old stuff from theme parks. I particularly like souvenirs and stuff from theme parks that are no longer around, like Opryland and Circus World. the current collection ranges from old park maps, to plush animals, to even concept art (some of it autographed) for attractions. Along with extinct parks, I have a particular affinity for Disney's "Haunted Mansion" attraction.

2. Dvds. I think everyone here collects these to some extent. I don't think I have quite a thousand, but it's definitely in the high hundreds.

3. McFarlane toys. I have a few of these. complete sets of the lines that I like (none of which involve Spawn at all).

I guess that's about all that I really collect. I have a bunch of records and stuff, but it's all for listening purposes, not collecting.

i have a plain one (slightly smaller than normal) with the coke still inside - never opened.

I've had it for over 10 years but i bet the coke tastes exactly the same
