    Hey. So, do you have any cool collections? I have collected the toys inside Kinder Eggs (A German chocolate company that makes chocolate eggs with toys inside of them) since I was a kid. I also got into record collecting in high school, and I have acquired about 70 records from the 1950s-1960s and a few modern albums. I kind of feel a bit of remorse about this one, because I put a lot of money and time into something I don't care about anymore. It was really fun for a while, but I just feel like I wasted a lot of money. So, do you have any collections of random things?

    I collect comic books, old and new. I also have a glass jar/bottle collection, not really sure why I have them. There are old coke and Pepsi bottles, rootbeer and cream soda bottles, and a lot of beer bottles, sitting in crates stacked in my basement. My mom has been trying to get me to throw them away for years. Oh, and Chinese wall calendars/scrolls. I keep getting those from random people.

    I collect Jethro Tull memorabilia. I think my prized possession in the lot is an autographed copy of their Songs From the Wood LP by Ian Anderson and Martin Barre

    Coins and silverware. I used to collect stamps and old stock certificates. When I was about 11, I collected Hot Wheels.

    Artsy t-shirts are some of my favorite things. I ordered one from China that should be here in a few weeks. I am a sucker for anything with creative graphics. I also collect art books. I ordered a Phantasy Star art book from Japan that should also be here in a few weeks, and I'm looking to start buying art books from Miyazaki films. I love art so much. I have all kinds of books about art, my favorite being about Art Nouveau, which is my favorite art movement.

    I collect license plates and rocks from different states and countries. Usually my dad's coworkers (who travel a lot to other countries) will bring stuff back from me. I have around 36/50 states, Puerto Rico, some Canadian provinces, and three Mexican plates. I have a rock from 40 states, around 3-4 Canadian provinces, and like 10 other countries. It's fun for me, since it's always a mystery as to what I'll collect/find next, and where my next rock will come from :grin:

    I like to think that you two don't earn them, you just steal them.

    "This is a nice diploma..."
    "Why thank y-hey! Where are you going!?"

    Anyway, I collect buckeyes.

    I collect Jpop idol music. THere is probably nothing in the world that appears creepier to collect, and me liking girls even more so makes it seem like I have bad intentions with some of the stuff I buy, but I collect totally innocently xD I really admire the girls. But they release things like photos, trading cards, photobooks, etc you can buy. Image dvds, tons of stuff. I buy their magazine appearances music CDs and concert dvds and everything with their photo on it.
    Most expensive hobby in the world. Almost wish I could get uninterested in it, but it really does make me happy. ^^
