Collect anything?, as a hobby. Options

[Dive]

I have a few things I like to amass in large quanitities. I have been collecting and reading comics for as long as I can remember. I am interested in mostly the superhero genre but I also enjoy Horror and Sci-Fi titles. Movies are another thing I must have. I prefer DVD's but if I cant' find it I will get the VHS version. A few things are hard to get or find on DVD so I end up buying it on tape. I can't forget to mention music. I have quite a collection of CD's I have acquired through the years, most from my short lived DJ career. Bargain bins are a treasure trove of $2 CD's. I also purchase action figures and models on occasion but rarely put them together due to time constraints.

Oh yea must not forget the collection of ...umm classic cars sitting in my driveway don't give me that look Bryn

Let's see here....

Like Knightsword and my bro, I too also collect Transformers, though I haven't bought much of anything since Beast Wars ended. The new Unicron toy coming out soon looks sweet as hell, but it's NOTHING compared to the unreleased Japanese Beast Wars Neo model they finished a few years back. Now THAT was a planet Transformer.

I guess the proudest(?) part of my collection is the fact that I have every single U.S. toy from 1984-1990 Mint Sealed in the Box Complete, save for a few rather insanely rare Gestalt Gift Sets. :

It took me over 10 years to find and recollect all of them in this condition, and the purpose of it all was to reclaim a piece of my youth that I enjoyed immensely. You know, I had the atypical parents who threw out/sold most of my stuff from when I was a kid. Oh, and I've opened most of them now, lol....

As for other stuff....um, I couldn't afford it, lol.

Though I am heavily into the new MOTU line for it's awesome sculpting of classic characters and the promise of old favorites making their way into toy form for the first time since the original show's air dates in 1983 and onward.

....and a few years ago I managed to scrape together a sizable chunk of chotchke related to one of my favorite games of all time - Cyberbots. I have the original marquee, an arcade poster, a few art books and some stickers/cards relating to the game.
