Everyone's non-TMNT collections - Page 2

*damnhooligan* · 09-10-2003, 07:28 PM

I've never really been much in collecting. Maybe it's because I'm constantly moving from place to place. I don't even stay in one place long enough to collect dust. Plus, I'd imagine it's a bit hard to drag a collection behind you

Though as soon as I settle down somewhere a few years down the line, I'll probably find some obsession to sink a few thousand dollars into

If I can dig out all my Star Wars stuff I'll take a pic of them. I went to the comic store a couple days ago and looked at the wall devoted to Star Wars stuff and noticed that things I have are now worth 50 or 60 bucks. Of course I was a kid so I took everything out of the package.

**HorseTechie** · 09-12-2003, 12:27 PM

Yeah.. I do that with some of my stuff too. Some things I'll keep aorund a bit in hopes of getting a big resale vlaue out of it later.

And since I also move around every couple of years, a lot of my child hood/college collections stay at my parents house so I don;t have to deal with them. Then my most immediate things go along with me.

I started collecting keychains when I was about 7 and I have a bag of about 180 or 200 of em. I'm starting to collect TMNT stuff, and I guess I collect CD's too.

Peanut · 09-14-2003, 05:40 PM

Is anyone intrested in seeing a pic of my Star Wars collection? Well part of it anyways. I found a bunch of stuff. I'm mostly missing all of my vehicles, X-Wings and such. I've found just about all of my figures though. I've got quite a few still MOC too. I found stuff I didn't even know I had! I know there's still about 2 or 3 more big boxes of stuff, so if anyone is interested in seeing this I might go dig the rest ou later. Also anyone else got a cool collection to show off?

DarkNinja · 09-14-2003, 05:53 PM

I collect:

dust (unfortunately)
US state coins
BOOKS of all kinds (references, pamphlets, classics, sci-fi, fantasy, etc.)

pencils and pens (for no particular reason)
notebooks (don't ask)

Dragons.

Books, statues, posters, drawings, scribbles, stuffys... if its for a big fire breathing lizard, I want it.

Peanut · 09-15-2003, 06:44 PM

Maybe we should have an awards! There can be different sections e.g.
Best Old Skool TMNT collection, Best New TMNT collection, Best Comic Book collection, Best Star Trek/Wars collection, Best Music collection etc. etc. People can post pictures of their collections and then we can vote! It might be cool! Considering there really hasn't been any thing like this before.

I'd wager nobody here comes anywhere near my wrestling collection... I should get an award for that.

Peanut · 09-15-2003, 07:36 PM

I bet! Wrestling would be one too! We should try it out! I don't even know where most of my wrestling stuff is anymore. Just my shirts and about 1/4 of my videos.

~~Leo656~~ · 09-15-2003, 07:43 PM

Most of my walls are covered in wrestling posters, I have close to 100 video tapes, hundreds of wrestling magazines, almost every wrestling video game ever released in America, and tons, tons, TONS of WWF, WCW and WWE action figures from 1985 up til recenty. Right now I'm trying to figure out where to fit the Elimination Chamber playset I bought.

*That Matt Guy* · 09-15-2003, 07:46 PM

I'm pretty sure I would win the "who has the most WWII junk" award.

Peanut · 09-15-2003, 07:47 PM

I used to be the same. I don't know where any of my posters are anymore. I had everyone magazine from 1995 to 2001 but I packed them all away. I never really got any of the figures though. I had a few and the ring, but nothing else.

*That Matt Guy* · 09-15-2003, 07:50 PM

I pretty much did the same thing with wrestling stuff too, I had a **** load of magazines, a few posters (mosly nWo) and almost all of the WCW action figures ever made. I sold it all on ebay.

~~Leo656~~ · 09-15-2003, 07:53 PM

I collected a ton of the Hasbro WWF figures from 1990 til 1994. After that I collected mostly WCW stuff because I absolutely HATED Jakks's WWF figures after they took over the license in 1996. WCW's Toy Biz figures from 1998-20001 are probably my favorites ever, and I own the complete set except for The Giant, Stevie Ray, and the Macho Man/Miss Elizabeth two pack (not counting some variant figures I didnt care for... who needs a million different Goldbergs?). After Jakks started doing the RealScan Tech figures in 2000 I started buying WWF figures again, since they were the first Jakks figures to actually look like the wrestlers they represented, and they've been getting better ever since. As far as looks go, the new "Ruthless Aggression" series of figures has some of the most dead-on likenesses I've seen in any wrestling figures.

I don't care for variants, so I usually just try to get one of each character, unless I see a new version I really like, in which case I'll make an exception. Hulk Hogan figures are another exception, as I own almost 30 different Hogan figures.

Peanut · 09-15-2003, 08:01 PM

OK! Here are the categories!
Best:
TMNT -
Old Skool
New (maybe)
Videogames -
Old Skool (pong to SNES/Sega G)
New Skool (psx/64 to next gen)
Other -
Comic Book Collection
Star Trek/Wars Collection
Wrestling Collection
WWII Collection (MATT IS THE WINNER!)
Movie Collection (DVD/VHS)
Random Action Figures

Any other thoughts?

Stuffed Animal Collection could be a category.
