Collecting

[Parasite]

Why thank you. c: Unfortunately my collection's nowhere near as big as I want it to be. Resident Evil items are really hard to find and when you actually find them you've got to snag them the second that you see them.

[Alyssia]

Really? I had no idea O.o

Almost the same issue when it comes to collecting manga....good luck when things go out of print~

How big are you aiming for your collection?

COLLECTING IS MAH LIFE! :O
Well, at least, I like having things from my favorite fandom/pop culture stuff. And then little odd nick nack stuff, and vintage looking stuff if its small and cheap. xP

I'll get more into my stuff soon, this post more of a belated bookmarking. xD

I collect gifts. I have the hardest time getting rid of something someone gives me, even if it is something worthless like a letter. The only exception is pens, pencils, and food. I have a tendency to lose pens and pencils, while I eat the food.

I have a hard time getting rid of things that folks give to me as well. I think that I've gotten luck over time with them though, nowadays they seem to be things like books or games so I'm more apt to keep them~

Wow, it sounds like a lot of people here collect interesting things! I don't have any large collections yet, but what I have is pretty random - and mainly toy-related.

I started off with a My Little Pony collection, which is probably the first series to actually get my attention through cute/nostalgia power. But that's gotten put on semi-hold due to discovering a series of action figures that I really want to get my hands on. (I just wish I knew about them sooner so some wouldn't be so hard to find...) I was interested in ball-jointed dolls before either of the above, but I haven't gone after any yet. That should change once I have a little more room, and my bedroom isn't doubling as an office/workroom/game room.

As for things I have right now, it's mainly a scattering of dolphin knick-knacks. There's a few stuffed toys, some statuettes, a plastic cup...it's random, but I keep them all, because people buy them for me when they travel. There's also a bunch of snow globes that I've gotten as gifts. But of all the items with sentimental value, the oddest has to be my penny bank. It's full of coins, all of them collected by my grandfather while he was alive, so it means a lot more to me than just the cash inside. Now that I think of it, I should probably follow his example and put money away for future generations, rather than spending it on toys! But I plan to take good care of my collections so they can be worth something later. (I just don't have the control needed to keep my toys in their boxes~ )

Wow the action figures look really cool. They do remind me of Ball jointed dolls. I'd like to get a few but the can cost so much. I do hope that you manage to get a hold of a few of them though. I would suggest searching online for a shop that will be able to ship to you though. Oh yea, before I moved over seas I used to collect Ramune bottles.

[neomattlac]

Wow. It'll take a long time and a lot of money to collect those action figures, and I have a feeling that they won't hold that much value, over time.

.....would my millions of art pages count as a collection? ^^;;;

[neomattlac]

I would think it would . ^^

[Diamond Dragon]

Oh, good. (because I have WAAAAAAAAY more than anough for just ONE collection. ^^;

[Alyssia]

Yea, the art totally counts. Is this a digital collection or a physical one? And what's the art of. I'm rather interested in it.

[Diamond Dragon]

It's a physical collection (I dunno how to draw on a compy yet) And It's mostly of Fantasy people and stuff like that. There are a few animals but they're not that good.

[Alyssia]

Did you draw all of them, or are some from friends/family members? Animals eh, what kinds of animals?

[Diamond Dragon]

I pretty much drew all of them. And I have pictures of cats, dogs, wolves, tigers........I think maybe even an elephant. o_o
