    I use to play Warhammer Fantasy. Spent way too much on it. Now my nephews enjoy it and all of my former pieces. They paint much better than me though. Orcs & Goblins were my main army. They were the reigning champs 3 yrs running in our little gaming group of 5 players. Also had at least 2,000 pts worth of Dark elves and Bretonnians. Dark Elves had nice magic but got shot up to easily, but the Bretonnians were a nice change to play.

    Well aside from the classics - stamps, postcards, badges, coins, marbles, (not an avid collector or very informed one, but I do hoard them) and at one point kinder egg toys, four leaf clovers and some sticker albums, these days I'm mostly on the lookout for unusual items - like tiny sliver spoons, old glass vials, unusual stones.

    I love books and games - but can't say I collect those.

    Bottles of beer I've got three boxes full of them in the garage. Though I stopped collecting some years ago, I can't bring myself to throw them away.

    I also collect stones, gems, shells, at one point empty ink catridges for fountain pens, and I never even owned one! Have also a small gathering of shiny, shiny coins and the zig zaggy plastic strips off of drinks bottles you pull off before the cap can unscrew. Dragon figurines and models, feathers, books, bags of a certain size, candles, surnames, corsets, collars - most importantly dice. I love the feel and look of dice and dtarted collecting seven dice polyhedral sets, I have twenty sets currently, trying desperately to limit myself after I blew £60 on a set made of Tiger Eye and was eyeing up some Amethyst ones.

    My mother and I have OCD and the main part that affects us is the compulsion to collect and hoard things. It's the sort of thing that takes charge when you're feeling low, even my current boyfriend has noticed I compulsively buy things for a collection if I'm sad or lonely :lol:

    Flags. My place is stuffed with flags. Well, not quite, but there's certainly a fair few. Try to get a new one every place I go.

    I don't collect anything. If I own it, and it doesn't get used, I sell it. I don't see the point in having anything that doesn't have a practical use.

    Nothing interesting for me, just erasers and elastic bands.

    I collect pissed off ex-girlfriends, though now that I'm married I don't have the opportunity anymore.

    Hey, we've got Egon Spengler on the boards!

    Collect old english cars. You have to be a saddist to understand english engineering and
    wiring. As a side collection, also collect car badges from various countries and commerative
    badges.
