Do you have a collection?

Do you have a collection ? (other than videogames😁) Whats you collection about ?

Unwittingly I have a collection of hundreds and hundreds of DVDs I purchased over the years. They take a loot of space and dont even see them anymore aside from the occasional kid movie for my niece. Other than that I only have small collection of book series, I never really got into collecting figures or other types of merchandise.

If you are talking about porn collections - I don't have any of those(funny enough, I knew a guy who admitted he had a 3Tb hard drive filled with nothing but porn lol). I used to have somewhat of a Gundam figure collection but moving really destroyed that. I still have my Gray Fox action figure from when I was a child.

I collect 2 things. Zippos and skulls. I currently have over 60 Zippos and somewhere between 25-30 skulls. I haven't counted recently so I'm not sure the exact number. My biggest skull is a toss up between my zebra and buffalo. I'm honestly not sure which is bigger. If I had had a few grand to burn at last year's RenFest, I would also be the proud owner of a hippo skull.

I kinda-sorta have a LEGO Mindstorms collection, but most of the electronics are unusable to me at present; all I can actually use are NXT sensors and motors, and anything from EV3.

Beyond LEGO stuff, electronic or otherwise, I also have a small collection of Transformers action figures. Got a handful of puzzles, too; a pair of 3x3x3 puzzle cubes – one of them an actual Rubik's Cube brand cube – a 2x2x2 puzzle cube, a skewb, a pyraminx, and a Fifteen Puzzle.

I was also trying to build up an armory's worth of NERF blasters, but that's a really expensive hobby to maintain, so I ultimately decided against it. YuGiOh! deckbuilding is almost as bad, but at least I have better odds of getting some use out of YuGiOh! cards than the NERF blasters I have beyond some plinking around at random places in my house and occasionally having a shootout with my brother.

I also wanted to collect Zippos , but I quit smoking a few years ago so I dont have a reason to use them unless I use them to turn on the stove.

Oh dude I remember the Lego mindstorms, I used to have that robot that looked like Wall-E and that you could also re-arrange him into a scorpion among other things. Yeah Yugioh cards can also be expensive, I dont collect them anymore but my little brothers in law still do and each big pack or metal case can go around the 20 dollar price.

Well, that’s the beauty of Mindstorms, and LEGO toys in general; if you’re creative enough, you can build just about anything you want. I for one have ambitions to one day build a functional Protoss Dragoon from StarCraft out of it.

As for YuGiOh!, I’m mostly interested in getting specific cards for my decks. I’ve got a Code Talker archetype deck planned out, but most of the cards I need to make it work aren’t available outside Japan yet; the majority of them come out of the Master Link structure deck, and one of them comes from an issue of V-JUMP magazine. I doubt that last one is getting an international release, but I can hope.

I've never been a smoker, I just always liked Zippos. You don't have to be one thing to like another thing. All of my Zippos are in the original box with the factory seal intact.

Well yeah but is keeping them in a box or unused what I dont like, I guess I rather use them somehow, but anyways I might get one or two.

Thats the problem with Yugioh cards, they are not that popular in the west anymore, at least not like before, so some of the best cards can only be found on Japan or ebay.

I used to sell Yu-Gi-Oh cards when I was in high school. I made about $800 in three months but spent the money on clothes (oh - the naivety of youth).

That's quite cool. Where have you acquired all the skulls?

I collect abandoned toys.

My zebra skull was a xmas gift. Some I picked up at the KC RenFest, a few I picked up randomly. But a lot of them I got from Skulls Unlimited. I’m signed up for their BoneBox. Every month I get a new random skull in the mail. One of the last ones I got was a green iguana.

About a decade ago, I used to be a sneakerhead with all kinds of limited edition Air Force ones - I think I bought close to $2000 dollars worth of shoes over 5 years.
