What do yall collect?

Wasn't this model kit line the origin of the Robotech name? I think I heard an interview with Carl Macek where he had said they got the name from the model kits, but I'm not sure.

It was.

Carl Macek allegedly wished to bring SDF MACROSS to U.S. Market
in as pure and unmolested a form as he could possibly find a way to manage.

HG Allegedly felt it would improve MACROSS' prospects in the U.S. by tying it to Product/Sponsor Support...
and that was where CEJI/REVELL and their "ROBOTECH" Tentpole Brand Title
for their import Japanese Mecha Model Kit lineup came into the picture...

I collect fishing baits. It was my big passion black then. I still go occasionaly now and then, and I enjoy buying a new bait everytime to remember the day

@Rpgmonger Any favorite baits or trips?

I collect anime dvds! Something about watching anime on dvd just hits different.

Collecting manga/LN. Another thing is Apple products.

Very cool collection you have going! Nice to see something which is less common among a community like this.

I have a growing manga collection and I can basically say I collect short animated films/commercials/music videos at this point (both archiving and viewing).

In the past, I've collected fruit/vegetable stickers (yes really; I have hundreds-thousands of them in my notebooks), Steam games (2.5K in my library), Free Realms items (RIP), coins (a humble collection of stuff I've found in the wild), and Bionicle (I have everything from my childhood, which is pretty substantial considering my obsession, and would like to continue this at some point, but alas, they are only getting more expensive).

Thank you. He is my favourite 18th century writer, and there were very few complete editions of his work since then.

it's cool that you guys collect stuff because i'm the opposite where i have no interest in collecting things, even the light novels and manga i have i'm trying to sell off and get rid of.

I checked your about me section, but totally forgot about the also avaliable at section. I'll check it out I've always had an interest in uniforms and their history.

@bevarnow never thought of counting my collection so I don’t have an answer unfortunately.


Weirdly enough I don’t have any, need to fix that. Thank you!

mental illness diagnoses

......... also, houseplants. and yes I do believe there is a connection there.

@Rpgmonger Did you start collecting cause you went fishing alot? Any rare lures in your collection?

My main thing is games. I stopped collecting most other things but a list of some things
-plushies
-Keychain
-Yugioh/pokemon cards
-anime figures
-dad's lmao spellcheck (dvds)
-beyblades
-bionicles

I guess maybe Funko Pop figures, but I don't have that many.

The only things i can afford to collect rn are my cat’s wiskers

Vinyl records, old games and books.

I got into collecting records in early high school; mainly 70s rock & early electronic music, but also 90s and early 2000s dance music (with miscellaneous stuff throughout it). They're cool décor, and I could DJ in wax if I got another turntable, but overall it's not something I care about as deeply as I used to. I've got 500 individual records at most, with few expensive items, and rarely buy new ones. I've also got a decent amount of CDs and cassettes, though not nearly as many, mainly of my favourite albums (which didn't come out on vinyl) or rare stuff I've not found in high quality online.

Another collecting hobby I've had for a while is DS/3DS games - it's my favourite console and I have a lot of great memories on, so I've gotten a pretty good collection of high quality games which I actually like, or expect to enjoy (mainly JRPGs). Some items are very expensive, especially considering the 3DS is region locked and PAL isn't the best for collecting. I'm very tempted to sell most of it as I don't really have much time for video games anymore and can't see myself finishing all of those games anytime soon...

Currently the main money-sink in my life is books, and not because I particularly feel like having a large amount of them, but because I actually intend to read them and have been enamoured with educating myself about obtuse bullshit.

If I had the money for it, I'd collect fossils and Gandharan artefacts.

-Anime figures
-diecast model ships and cars
-model ships (Battlestar stuff)
-Glass figurines (the ones shaped like animals)

@bevarnow I used to go fishing a lot when I was a kid and as a teen. But after that, I stopped for a while, after I remembered those days by re-discovering the baits in my room. After that, I started to go fishing again just by myself. Just casually. Had a lot of baits stored, but after that I started to buy a new one on every trip as a souvenir. Every one of them have been used at least once.
I have a lot of them. Not sure about their rarity since I don't collect them for that. But I have lures from the 80's if that's rare

Here's bunch of random stuff I have such as some electronics, treadle, cards [5% of what I used to have as the rest got stolen - I hav around 200 of them rn], games, books, cold weapons and some VHS original [as the photos of recorded one are of bad quality + there's several - 40+ more somewhere, in photo yo ucan see one recorded VHS of Troy movie] psp games and some light novels [bleach, ngnl and sao, I don't remember where I have the older ones of sao-ngnl, somewhere under my bed they should be but I am too lazy to check it right now] etc., I don't know where I have plastic soldiers, bionicle and hot wheels cars most likely somewhere in basement or they've got already thrown out.

@Zettaiken Very interesting. I also have a PSP and hang begun collecting games for it, but I don't know where the actual PSP went lol. And I see what I believe is a U.S. M1 Helmet. Do you know if thats real or a reproduction?

@bevarnow It's a reproduction and I bought it in Gdańsk so Idk if it's based on US or Polish [or something else, as I am quite 0 knowledgeable about modern era military equipment], gas mask too. The medieval helmet is real 2.5mm of non hardened steel - 7-8 kilograms of weigth.

@Zettaiken Interesting about that medieval helmet. Please do post more photos of it, since you reside in Poland I have an idea of what it is if its not an M1.

@bevarnow sure, here's the photos of side look, inside and from behind, for me it looks like wz 31 salamandra as that's the Polish helmet from WWII and as I bought it when I was visiting the Westerplatte [the iconic place in which WWII has began, I suppose it could be it?]

@Zettaiken That is not, it is Polish however. That is a Polish Wz.67, considered to be the first entirely Polish helmet. Considering the color, that was likely used by the Army. I have a similar one I was speaking about earlier in this thread. The Wz.67 and the later Wz.67/75 are extremely common helmets, the Wz.67/75 I have in my collection I only paid $15USD for lol. How much did you pay for it?

@bevarnow I bought it like 8-10 years ago for hmmm I think around 200 złoty [PLN], maybe less or more, I don't remember exactly the price.

@MrYujufudan I really need to update my site lol, I have a ton more stuff that isn't on there

Especially via the better-made Vintage DVD Players out there...

Professional tennis matches, have a couple thousand on DVD and many more as digital downloads. Mainly matches that are difficult to find online, at least at the time of purchase.

@bevarnow All I'm really seeing is the catalog of GTA models. I really dig the Volvo 240 police car.

@GakutoDeathGlare Interesting, why so?

That's cool. I don't have any baits I have close memories with mostly photos. I've always been fortunate to have someone close to me who is really into fishing so I've never needed to buy lures, rods, etc. I remember my dad had a lure that was his dad's that he kept around for good luck.
