I have collected Star Wars action figures since I was in kindergarten, and I'm now a freshman in college. I've sort of exceeded my ability to store them, so they're starting to pile up a bit.

i have a coupld of dozen originals as well, never collected them intentionally, was given them as a kid and have just hung onto them

I collect some things you probably wouldn't expect out of me....... I collect coins, yeah it's not typically a "girls" hobby, but I find it fascinating...... also old historical postcards and documents (the term for those type of things is ephemera)

I have a bunch of coins that my dad had collected... also stamps. I have not gone through them. I do have 5 old US dollar bills... when I say old, I mean one from 1935, and 4 from 1957. I can't imagine how the '35 lasted 75 years... but it is in very good condition. Now, I don't collect bills, just think it cool to have.

I collect a few things... biggest collection is magazines/catalogs. I even have a magazine room in my apartment.

The majority of magazines are fashion related, the 2nd most are automotive/tuner. I also collect department store catalogs though... and have a lot from around the world... always looking for more and older ones.

My desk is rapidly being overtaken by Daleks. Old ones, new ones, gold ones, black ones, Emperor ones, they're everywhere.

Oh, and two Weeping Angels. I find myself looking at them quite a lot.

Me too - that'll be the geology degree's fault! I have a particular fondness for meteorites.

Stuart,
How many metorites you have.  I also like collecting tectites.

You know anyone with some moon rocks, lol

Lots of meteorites! They're mostly with a friend who does some teaching with them just now.

I have a tiny moon rock sample - not an Apollo sample, but from a lunar meteorite. I also have a few Mars meteorite samples. They're tiny though.

I've worked with moonrocks as well - a picture of one is on this thread: http://internationalyn.org/forum/index.php/topic,527.735.html

I hope your moon rock sample is not like the one at the Dutch Museum that was found to be from earth recently. But there are some amazing things people collect, real interesting. keep up the posts what else do you guys n gals collect.

nice! I'm collecting the whole final-fantasy series (for PS1 and PS2, not online), and pokemon series (only official games).

Other than that, I don't collect much really

I've been an avid Olympic Pin collector for years now. I have a nice sized collection of the things. Some rare, most common. I also have other memorabilia from other sports. Fun stuff to collect I do say.
