| So people find it strange when you tell them you collect something. They have no clue why seeking out and buying things just to collect is fun but thats hobbies. It used to be how I got by buying selling figures now its just back up cash but I was a pretty heavy collector of video game collectors editions we're talking the big ass ones with the statues and stuff and I also collected a lot of neca figures based on movies, games ect but had to sell everything off when I downsized my place is too small to even have a display area. So do you collect anything or does it seem weird to you too. |

| its not weird but its very expensive hobby imo but better than gambling on casinos thats for sure |

So do you collect anything or does it seem weird to you too. I do collect things but I am the type that uses what I collect rather than putting it on a shelf. I collect knives, guns, tools and Japanese waterstones for sharpening my tools. Now, as I said I use them but I count it as collecting because I only really need a few of each to get any task done but I still like to have more to put into the rotation simply for fun. As for seeming weird, not really, everyone I know collects something even if they don't realize it. |
| I mainly collect comic books, ordinary books and manga (mostly manga). I used to be into collecting games but I only ended up selling them back to the store to get more games or not play them anymore after a year and a halve. That was when I was a console gamer now Im a pc gamer with a 100 games on steam I still have to finish but am too busy watching anime. |
Veneficia said: Only mango's, I have been wanting to collect something else anime related but I don't know what. Manga was far too expensive for me, it seemed like every series had 200+ to collect and Im a quick reader same goes for why i don't collect comics or grahpic novels spend £20 and you've finished in under 10 minutes |

I have spent thousands of dollars in waterstones and they are just abrasive rocks. |
| I don't see collecting as anything weird... why would anybody think that? And yes, I am a collector of sorts. |
 |
| If I had money I would collect nendos, they're so cute :3 |
 |
| I don't collect stuff but three of my siblings collect trading cards(pokemon, mtg and vanguard), anime figures and vintage watches respectively so it does not seem weird to me. Well you could consider that I collect books, but I buy then to read them not to shelf them... |
| I collect anime figures mostly. I don't see why people would find it weird, collecting is a really common hobby even outside of anime/gaming community. Philately exists for more than a century, and i don't see how collecting video games, books, or merchandising is weirder than collecting stamps. |
| Empty bottles of ale...no really I collect bottles from Wychwood and Flying Dog breweries because they have some cool art on the labels. I have about 15 Wychwoods. And 6 Flying Dogs |
 |
| I collect books despite always being tight on cash. |
| I collect hearts. I have a pretty big collection of books, which is making me povo. I'm also trying to increase my collection of mangoes, figurines and model planes, but it's too hard to buy mangoes and figurines in Australia. The ones i've collected so far are from my Japan trip, since there's a way bigger variety there. |
| If you're reading this, then you be should banana the one often to effectively die apples through convergence, autism plus unicorns. |
| I used to collect pogs when I was a kid. I have a small collection of playing card decks. I also have a collection of gemstones. |
| No, I don't collect anything really. I might have as a kid, though. |
 |
| I used to collect dolls for a while, but then stopped. Kind of want to get back into it, though. It used to be super fun to walk into thrift stores, pick up a bag of Monster High girls scribbled all over with marker, broken joints, the works, and then fix them. I'm afraid what people around me would think, though. I guess I could get away with it by saying "I think they're cute", the ultimate female defense, but meh. |

People always say just be proud but it aint easy when you walk in and ask to look at the skimpy bikini anime girl statue.... |

That comment kind of reminds me of the time me and a friend went to an extremely shady anime shop and the woman in charge tried to sell me a life size, one thousand dollar Madoka Kaname statue. |

| I collect manga and plushies right now! I also collect CDs (pirating tho). No one's ever really judged me for either things. |
| In Middle School i used to collect erasers, Different kinds, Holiday Special Erasers, There were actually limited edition erasers. I'd pick them up if i saw any lying down on the ground. Course i got the shit kicked out of me a few times back then for this collecting habit. Now though i'm in for collecting Retro RPG Games. Personally would like to own every RPG from the SNES, NES, And Playstation 2. |
| Argue? Nah Too lazy For That... Are You Ready!~Gulcasa |
| I'm killing myself over not having access to my bank account for the khadgar hearthstone earth day promotion Yes Im a huge collector |
☕ Truth be told, I'm quite proud of my house blend. To attain my flavor and fragrance, I use five different types of coffee beans. ☕ |

| hmm yeah, i was post no, i get rid of everything that i dont have use for but then i remembered my evergrowing stash of female clothes and acessories, i will never get rid of that, nevar! its mine, mine! :D |
| I don't collect anything though I wouldn't mind having a book collection. I don't find it weird unless you go overboard. Then again, anything in excess can be bad. |
| I'm very enthusiastic about body fluids so I'm going to start collecting hi bae (8 |
 |
| I have a few collections: figures, games...nothing too big though. |
| I collect Steam games and music-related things. |
| When I was younger I used to collect marbles of all shapes, sizes and values. It wasn't entirely useless since my friends and I used to gamble with it. The more valuable/flashy the marble, the better. I don't really collect them anymore but I still have like 150+ marbles that I've collected in the past. Right now, I don't collect anything weird. Unless you'd want to call a bookshelf of books a weird collection. They aren't that much, however. |
| I collect blu ray's. Often limited editions like steelbooks, full-slips etc... I have over 300 right now! |
| I never saw the point in being a collector. I'm not going to use them, so what's the point in buying them? It's a waste of time and money alike if you ask me. |

Sounds like you would enjoy ball jointed doll making or collecting. It's BJDs for short or ABJ (for asian). You can get whole made ones but you also can buy individual parts and design a doll out of it and I think painting is involved sometims but there might be prepainted parts. I think they are pretty cool, but they can be very expensive sometimes. You could pass it off as an artform. |
| if collecting is weird, i'm a fucking freak i have a massive amount of JP vinyl toys (not "figurenes") based on kaiju related themes and also, JP dolls even in this community, when i have brought it up a couple times, people call me a freak even if they are total anime and manga nutcases. |
| Well, anything I collect is collected in a very half-assed way. Like, I'll see something, gush about it, then not buy it if it's over like $5 or something. Slightly more serious but mostly half-assed things I collect: -Watermelon themed items (most awesome item so far being a watermelon knife) -Dice (small but growing collection) Completely half-assed collections: -Stickers (really small collection) -Sweets themed items (really small collection) I would say I collect anime and manga, but I'm more than willing to sell almost everything I've "collected" if I need to right now; so I dunno if I'd count those. The only things I wouldn't sell are my faves and anything I haven't read/watched yet, but will be ready to sell once I get through them. |
| well i just realize im a collector too since im an online pirate |
| I dont collect Fuck that But if I was it'd be baby teeth or summin Or children Children are expensive online. |

| I really like to collect manga. It feels really nice to be able to build up my own library of the series I enjoy, plus it helps support the industry. I also have quite the plushie collection. |
 |
| I have a habit of collecting things I find an interest in but I also have a habit of getting tired of things easily. So when I do have collections (books, coins, life-size flags, caps, plushies, stationary, washi tape, etc), they aren't too overly impressive in terms of number. :P |

| I used to be a big pc video game collector but then the whole DRM-steam thing happened and I stopped collecting. |
