What else do you collect?

Bit of a nerd here.........I also collect Marvel Select and Marvel Legends actions figures.

Out side of blades, jeeps and working out........I'm a Marvel and DC fan. Don't buy the comics anymore, but I do collect the action figures.
 
I collect a lot of miles driven, usually around 10k per month. The miles driven collection funds the Busse, firearms/ammo, tools & truck collection, though not nearly as much since the start of the "legos and other chinese plastic to be stepped on in the dark" collection. :eek:
It's all worth it though! ;)
True story, you've now been warned single/engaged guys \/ :p

What don't I collect? Growin' up in mom's salvage yard with 6 acres of salvage yard and 6 acres of house yard and a mom and her bf who still collect and accumulate everything under the sun from real full size fire trucks, cars, all kinds of vehicles to wood coal stoves, (she had 149 last count). Buildings and real estate, toys, cast iron skillets 200+ by now.

Let me put it this way, if you've ever seen the American Pickers show, multiply the biggest place they ever picked by 10 and you're beginning to get the idea. So what do I collect? Toys and tools mostly, used to be cars and motorcycles (largely influenced by living in mom's and bf's salvage yard) but they're mostly gone now. I have 7 cars now and a couple of motorcycles but not like the old days.

I'll try to find some old pics of the yard with the firetrucks .
 
I have a modest tobacco pipe collection. The only really nice pipe I own is a Peterson Kinsale XL12 which I chipped recently. I prefer more unique styled pipes so im constantly looking in antique stores. But I think most throw old pipes out.

I don't collect anything anymore. I've gotten rid of everything I owned and started with an empty apartment with the exception of my dog, my acoustic guitar, my Leatherman and a few knives. Now I have just the things I use daily in essence.
Glock 19 9mm with 3 mags
Glock 17 9mm with 3 mags
Colt Lightweight New Agent 1911 in 9mm
Two Leathermans
Belt knife from Hargis
A couple of Fenix flashlights
Three Japanese kitchen knives
Chinese cleaver
Basic meat cutter knife set
Six fountain pens
Two Buck knives
My percussion stuff for the band
A few vintage double edge razors
That's about all I can think of for now. I do put away every wheat penny I find. I buy all the 9mm ammo I can every month, thousands of possible. I have a vintage chess set from before WWII. I have my WWII KaBar. I have a WWII issue razor that I use daily. Not much else. I'm a simple man now.

Love my Tele. Started playing on my dad's old Gibson SG when I was in high school. Loved that one too but one day I saw an old black and white clip of Led Zeppelin on the BBC. Jimmy Paige was banging out "How Many More Times" on a Telecaster and I just had to have one. Really wanted one in butterscotch blonde but couldn't afford that series. Got an American Standard in black.
 
Tobacco pipes from your drugstore variety Dr Grabows, to Dunhill, to custom made Morta pipes.

Custom built lightsabers with sound and visual effects.

Cigars....Don't mean to collect them...but they keep adding up faster than I am physically able to smoke them.

I guess I could say I've started collecting boots. I realized that I've been buying a pair every Christmas for the last 4 years or so.

Got these yesterday to match a pair that we got my 2 year old.

This is my next pair. Lucchese giant alligator skin that has been distressed
