Tedhaun Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 The topic title says it all, what do you guys like to collect in real life? For me, I like to collect old school video games (most of them being original NES games), along with stress balls and relievers. I used to collect Pokemon trading cards when I was a kid up to my teen years, but I switched over to vintage games later on. Does anyone else like to collect something that they're fond of?

Xepha Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Plush toys, snowmen (seriously, they make me smile!), fridge magnets. None of that can be considered an official collection... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritzie Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 When I was younger, I collected Minnie Mouse plushies. (And anything Minnie Mouse, for that matter.) Disney character ceramic figurines, Disney character pewter figurines, and Disney Ron Lee figures. Slightly more current, Cherished Teddies figurines, though I haven't gotten any for a few years. And more recently: hoodies, key chains, M&M related items, especially any with the Blue almond M&M character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piticent Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Pins. Lots and lots of pins. most are disney ones but about 8% are non-disney. And for some random reason, lots of hats... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rae Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 I collect old records. I got a lot of them from my grandmother. I collect books too (strange I know) but I love to read so... haha. And shot glasses. I get one from every place I visit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachiee Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 I have a collection of fortunes (from fortune cookies), empty BIC pens, Silly Bandz, makeup, hoodies and rubber ducks. And to a lesser extent, I collect wallets. I used to collect pop tabs when I was younger, but when I found out they were worthless I just threw all of them out. I totally regret that decision because you can make pop tab necklaces and bracelets...too bad it took me 3 years to find that out :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welcome Back Apathy Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 I don't do any collecting anymore, especially since I just moved cross-country and got rid of way too many things. But I used to collect: *Stuffed squirrels. It started with my first squirrel, Squattette (I was a VERY creative 4-year-old), and then I kept adding on more from there. I had a TON of stuffed squirrels. *Stuffed bees and bee knickknacks. This was because I did spelling bees, and they were my good luck charms. So my family would sit out in the audience COVERED IN BEEEEEEEES. *Rubber bands--I tried to have the longest rubber band chain in the world. Then I found out that was 19 miles.

flyingeevee Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 I used to collect TONS and TONS of Beanie Babies but that stopped :P I now only collect old videogames that I want and penguin plushies :3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

April Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Books, CD's (Only from my ten billino favourite artists though), stamps, wolf stuff. A few other things. Too tired to figure it out. XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Kitten Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 I collect old records. I got a lot of them from my grandmother. I collect books too (strange I know) but I love to read so... haha. And shot glasses. I get one from every place I visit. I collect records too! I mostly just get records of bands I actually like, my favorite are old school punk records from the 60s through the 90s but I also love older jazz and blues records and also just some with cool cover art. :laughingsmiley: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarlet Fever Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 I have a collection of fortunes (from fortune cookies) LOL....I do the same. I love fortune cookie fortunes. I have a cute little box I painted that I keep them in. I also have a small collection of coins from other countries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweetdang Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Rocks! :D I collected dry leaves, long ago. Unfortunately I only kept three. But they're AMAZING. I pressed them in a book, so they're flatter/as flat as paper. Their veins leave imprints on the tissue that protects them. They're about 6 plus years old, but not brown. Which is really cool. They're very dark green though. :) Stamps more recently, though I've given that up. My dad's collection of stamps is worth about 5,000 sing dollars - really old stamps. Like ones from Czechoslovakia. :D For now, it's just lots and lots of literature texts. :yes: Dating back to not very late, about 1991?

Yuika Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Pictures and soap... which makes me sound like an old lady... also clothes. And makeup. I may or may not have some issues with throwing things away. : P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
April Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 I forgot! I also collect ties. I wear them too. I have rainbow splatter ones. Rainbow stripped... Lots of striped and polka dots. And just solid ones. My rainbow tie: I have this tie in every colour imaginable. XD You should also see my halloween ones I have planned out for this month and my Christmas ones. I honestly have more than enough ties to wear a different one each day. I always match them to my outfits too. I am not into fashion. I just can't stand clashing colours. They are all hung up in my room. :whistle: I am so cool... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruka Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Those are some pretty cool ties April! On topic, I collect tons of notebooks! However I don't write on them... I don't know why either. :rolleyes_anim: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zarii Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 I collect snowglobes :D Ever since I saw that one in Mary Poppins, I've adored them :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachiee Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 On topic, I collect tons of notebooks! Oh yeah, I forgot that I also collect notebooks...except I actually draw or write in them. :laughingsmiley: I've been collecting notebooks and filling them up for at least nine or ten years. (I still have lots of stuff I drew/wrote from way back when I was like, four.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruka Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Oh, 1 more thing (actually 2): I collect stickers and key chains (any type)! Though just like the notebooks, I don't use them at all! :laughingsmiley: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Lyuba Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 I admit...I collect movies. An expensive thing to collect but I collect them nonetheless. Mainly, I'm focusing on the animated Disney films, from Snow White to Tangled. I collect the best DVDs of them I can find, not to mention Blu-Ray copies and re-releases. My luckiest find was a collector's edition of Atlantis: The Lost Empire, which is one of Disney's most underrated animated films of all time, right alongside The Hunchback of Notre Dame and The Great Mouse Detective. I love them all, and the underrated films are the best! They could always use more love... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I collect notebooks (journals) too...when I was a bit younger I used to write quite a bit, and so I picked up empty journals all the time. Now that I'm older, I never seem to find the peace required and just keep collecting empty books. I do love the possibilities contained within. Maybe someday soon I'll get back to it. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loveconservative Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Does collecting video games count? I always try to pick up new ones when I see them for cheap, even if I might not even play them. When I was younger I collected Beanie Babies. I still have so many of them laying around my room. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
