Post by: Alistair on June 12, 2018, 09:42:28 PM: It's a small collection but I have loose car parts I find laying around in the road when I go on walks.

Post by: L. Jay Echoes on June 16, 2018, 04:19:14 PM: I have more books than I’ll probably get around to reading, or at least reading to a satisfactory understanding. And I keep on accumulating. There’s my collection of furry art, TMBG albums, and soundfonts. I don’t do a ton of collecting nowadays, but I used to collect stuffed animals, and before that, Fisher Price Loving Family dolls – both of these collections coincided with those of my sister’s. I used to collect cereal boxes for no good reason until my mom told me to throw them out.
My younger brothers collect more than I do. He has a collection of cups he gets from various resteraunts, Mountain Dew boxes, Star Wars Micro Machine Ships, Patches, Movie Tickets… I’m sure there’s more, but I'd have to go into his room and take a look. My older brother collects plastic dinosaurs.

The game is fun. I don't really use my cards to play, but I like to collect certain cards that I'd put in an ideal deck.

Post by: L. Jay Echoes on June 19, 2018, 07:45:02 PM: Oh and my parents collect coffee cups. Or they did until they ran out of room. My dad collects unfinished carpentry projects. No one can talk him out of it.
Title: Re: What do you collect?
Post by: AceAurora on June 21, 2018, 01:27:10 AM: I collect Magic The Gathering Cards and computer parts. I do also have a small collection of books and Funkos.
Title: Re: What do you collect?
Post by: Beta8088_Proto on June 21, 2018, 01:51:09 AM: Nerf guns, computer components, tactical gear, militaria, handheld games, coffee mugs and piles and piles of unneeded files.
Title: Re: What do you collect?
Post by: Firox on June 21, 2018, 02:18:36 AM: I do collect some items

Pokemon plushies, cards, and other collectives, mainly featuring my favorites (the Eevees first)

I also collect:
Football jerseys - national teams first

Flags - all sizes, national countries, states/provinces/etc..., historical, if I can find them at good times, I'll get them

World Currency - both coins and banknotes, many I gotten from friends, others I inherited from my grandma, others will have to ask nicely to get them or find a coin shop around the city to find some rare ones
(three I don't have but would love to own Japanese Yen, Euros, and British Pounds)

Post by: Brisky on July 01, 2018, 07:51:47 AM: Electronical components and devices.

Mostly industrial electronics such as old electromechanical relays and installation components. I like to try if I can get them to work, and then find out exactly how they work.

And from most modern / commercial things that I get my hands on, I just take them apart to salvage the components for my own projects. But sometimes that's tricky, because the modern stuff always seems to use proprietary chinezium chips that aren't really usefull for anything but what they were designed to do.
Title: Re: What do you collect?
Post by: Garfield on July 01, 2018, 01:30:31 PM: GameInformer Magazines. Got a membership like 2 years ago and still get them in the mail. Plus, always good to have an inexplicable collection of magazines.

Post by: Landryth on August 11, 2018, 10:31:00 PM: I collect carnivorous plants. Right now I came to a stop because I have to rethink this a bit. I still have one that I can't care for properly that I have to give away, and I need a way to collect and store rainwater reliably, which isn't all that easy around here.

Well I almost lost one of my fingers to a Venus Flytrap :D
In all seriousness though, pretty much all carnivorous plants are harmless to handle. Their digestive solution is weak, the digestion period is around a week, their traps are also quite fragile not able to withstand the strength of larger creatures. The only two genera I know of can fit, if you deliberately put them in, hands or fingers are Sarracenia and Nepenthes. :P

...Someone help me.

Post by: Wycca on August 26, 2018, 08:01:09 PM: Yarn is my collection of choice. Though I'm trying to use up most of my stash since it's getting to be more than I can find storage for. Makes me sound a bit more like a cat than a dragon.

I also collect anything dragon related. I'm up to probably close to 200 at this point.

Post by: Michen_S on August 26, 2018, 08:57:20 PM: Though I don't really collect anything now, I used to collect feathers. The collection is still sitting on the top shelf in my foom though. Except the crown of the collection, the peacock feather is too big for the top shelf.

I also used to collect feathers!
Once I moved last month tho, almost all of them were lost;w;
I used to dabble in Vulture Culture and got a LOT of cool feathers from it.

Right now tho, I have a big collection of bottle caps, those tabs on pop cans, and pins/buttons. I especially love enamal pins and get a couple from every con I go to, or some I fall in love with from online shops when I have the money

Post by: Faye_Elizabeth on September 16, 2018, 04:23:22 AM: I mostly collect airsoft guns and guitars. I picked some very expensive things to collect, but it's super worth it. I guess I don't just collect the guns, I also play airsoft but more on that elsewhere, this isn't a general hobby thread.
I have gotten to the point where I have to make room, or sell a gun every time I buy one. I'd never sell my guitars though.

Post by: Corran Orreaux on September 22, 2018, 02:38:57 AM: Nowadays mostly just books.
Title: Re: What do you collect?
Post by: ZaraRaEchidna on September 23, 2018, 09:39:53 PM: I have a few collections! My most notable being my SU Lion collection on my shelf, my large Adventure time comics collection, and my collection of furbies worth a few thousand pounds!

Furbies are fun to collect - you can pick up some really valuable furbies from people selling old toys without realising! There's a certain rush to it.
Title: Re: What do you collect?
Post by: BorealBeast on September 24, 2018, 03:03:42 PM: Since I dearly love vulture culture... I collect animal remains. Bones, skulls, skins, pelts, horns, etc. Preferably found and preserved by myself.
I also own a ton of pokemon merch.

Post by: Alistair on September 25, 2018, 10:08:55 AM: Now that summer is over and it's too cold to go out and collect scrap, I've turned to collecting funko pops.
Title: Re: What do you collect?
Post by: GlacialisTempest on October 12, 2018, 01:28:57 AM: Plushies and rocks are the two things that immediately come to mind. Used to have a Pokemon card collection . . . until someone threw them away.
Title: Re: What do you collect?

Title: Re: What do you collect?
Post by: Zehlua on October 24, 2018, 08:01:51 AM: Ohhh boy... let's see...

Trading cards, rocks and crystals, toys, Wuzzles merchandise, rare books, Dakin dream pets, Neopets merchandise, Guy Gilchrist's Tiny Dinos merchandise, Hideaway Hollow merchandise, potion bottles... that's all I can think of off the top of my head!

Post by: L4BY_ on November 08, 2018, 02:24:49 PM: I used to like MLP:FiM a lot, so my room is cluttered with MLP themed posters, plushies, pins and other accessories :

I also have a massive collection of t-shirts, the majority of them are custom :

Otherwise, I commission a lot of art of my character on FurAffinity and do a lot of level/trading card farming on Steam :

Post by: L4BY_ on December 25, 2018, 07:49:33 PM: I recently started collecting CD albums from my favorite artists such as Savant, Infected Mushroom and deadmau5, most of these collections are finished thanks to a site named Discogs.
