The Kiwi Farms Collectible Thread - Sperg to your heart's content about Legos, and not lego things

[Lackadaisy]

I collect shit with pandas or pigs on em. Otherwise, I just find neat shit on my walks and keep them - like this stainless steel cross with the Lord's prayer on it I found in the snow or weird random parts from hardware stores that I think are neat looking.

 

[Hodor]

I collect video games, especially JRPGs and SRPGs. General weeb shit, basically. Bought a Saturn and an Action Replay for it recently, so I've been looking into picking up some imports. Fuck collecting the US games lmao, i'll just get a pseudo saturn cart and burn some CD-Rs.

 

[omori]

I was one of those kids that collected beanie babies. Still have a ton.

 

[alex_theman]

I collect (psuedo-hoard) vidya and old PC stuff.

 

[Optimus Prime]

Still got a shitload of Yu-gi-oh cards from middle school. Only keep them around because I was really into it back then and also because I have two Harpie Chicks - one is wearing a pink skin suit. The other isn't and was the first edition of the card. Finest example of an 'oh shit we need to censor this' I have.

Mainly these days I collect Transformers and POP! figures, though the Gunpla collection is growing at steady rate too.

Video Games take up a large part of my collection and I've made the mistake of trying to playing all of them. its small when compared to the bigger ones, but its far larger then most. I also have a bit of VHS Collection, I use to grab what ones i could, I always try to find the oddest ones in hopes of finding something legendary. haven't been able to add to it for a long time do to various reasons. I've also been infected by the plastic poison as of late, used to mostly be amiibos, but after finishing my first Gunpla of Shining Gundam. I find myself looking at various kits on amazon. Thankfully I am broke as fuck So I've yet to really dive into the more expensive stuff. But when payday comes I not sure how long i can hold back.

When I was a kid I was a hoarder. There were these disney porcelain dolls you could collect in magazines, and I had all of them piled up in a big treasure chest under my bed for years. There must have been over 100 of the fucking things because after they'd exhausted all the costume variants on the prince and princesses they started making dolls of random characters like Mulan's Mum. They never made a Gaston one, sadly. Most of them are broken or lost now because I didn't handle them very delicately, and the survivors occasionally shed their limbs when the string inside snaps. Plus I think I threw up on cinderella once, so we had to throw her dress away. I also had a thing for interesting rocks and 'treasure' we'd find in the fields and the beach nearby. There used to be a dump there and you'd occasionally find old bits of smashed crockery and china. I once found a huge rose quartz embedded in a rock half buried in the mud, which was nice.
Bonus, does anyone remember Clay Mates?

Spoiler: these fuckers

Loved me some clay mates when I was 10.

 

[Kiwi Jeff]

I like to make model kits of my favorite 80's robots, and collect all things Sega.

 

[Maiden-TieJuan]

My Chief Bedwarmer and I love to go hiking and fishing, and the areas around out town have a lot of Gold Rush era towns and shit. So I collect the little bits and bobs I find on hikes. Sometimes it can be an interesting rock, an old rubber stamp from a timber mill, an old railroad spike, basically anything interesting. I found a gold locket with a metal detector, and I find a LOT of old bottles and cans from waaaaaaaaaaaay back in the day. I even found a boat once, complete with trailer but no motor.

I also collect bones. I have three dog skulls, 2 cats, 5 or 6 rat skulls, one mouse (hard to find intact) a cow and a calf skull, a few of the rodentia family (maybe opossum?), (my personal favorite) a real human skull, and a whole lot of ribs, vertebre, and all the rest. The larger bones I use as decorations in my yard. Makes it fun on Halloween!

So.

 

[Captain_Asshole]

I collect airguns. Yeah...as ludicrous as it sounds I like to collect air arms of different power sources, (spring,CO2,PCP,pneumatic) action, caliber and philosophy of design. The more bizarre/intricately constructed the better. Of course, I appreciate the more robust and accurate models for actual marksmanship but a forgotten or nigh unknown type of air shooter always captivates my attention.

 

[DumbDosh]

I collect cassettes. They're interesting to look at from across the room, super cheap, and you can find good ass songs you never would have otherwise.

I also kind of collect games that have been removed from Steam and other digital services, but that's more of a "If I don't get this I'll never be able to ever get it again."

 

[Pina Colada]

I have a small assortment of figures (mostly different characters I like- Lum Invader, Galko, Mai Shiranui, Sailor Mercury, and a Supergirl a friend got me from last year's Comic Con) and dolls I like to buy whenever I visit another country. It started as a tradition in my family, as my grandmother let me play with porcelain dolls she brought back from her trips to Ireland (don't worry, I didn't break any!).

I also like to collect seashells from the beach every summer and paint decorations on them. It's messy but very relaxing!

 

[Florence]

I do a lot of metal detecting and mudlarking, so I've picked up a few interesting things over the years:

I also collect religious medals, rosaries, and the like:

While I love Transformers, now days I collect Hasbro and 3rd party Transformers for the engineering aspect of making those types of toys. Not to mention the evolution of those toys. I also collect tabletop RPG's, books, comics (though not nearly as much as I used to...Thankfully) Magic The Gathering cards as I still continue to go to some tournaments, but I mostly just test out decks in Magic Workstation type of programs. I also collect miniatures, and this may sound odd, but paint as well since every brand of paint has different shades of colour to paint miniatures. Something I really need to get back into one of these days.

I've been thinking about collecting a few vinyl records if I can find some nice covers.

If you do, you should frame them and display them on a wall.

Lately, I've been thinking of collecting a couple of my old favorite figures from when I was a kid. For example, I loved Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles back in the day, and my favorite figure from that series was Muckman

So currently I'm trying to track down a sealed Muckman (which is surprisingly not too expensive). Not sure if I'll keep him sealed or open him for display purposes.

 

[c-no]

As far as collections go, I have about three Funko Pop figures. I want to build it up a bit further by getting a few more figures from games like Doom and Fallout.

I also have a small handful of guns as part of my own collection. They consist of shotguns and rifles, all either from a family member.

Getting into computers, I would want to start up a collection on computer related parts like cases, motherboards, and video cards but that could end up being more expensive hobby than collecting plastic figures that go for about $10 a piece.

There are a lot of old guitar pedals that make some crazy noises from back when pedals were starting to become a thing. Lots are hard to find or just plain forgotten, and any of the ones that are remembered are held at high value due to their rarity and being such big part of guitar history. I'd be hard pressed to even think about mustering up the funds for the originals (they make reissues of some of them, but plenty haven't been made for decades) and I'd be afraid to ever use them at a live show, but given my love of making a guitar make noises a guitar shouldn't make, I know that I'd be all over them.

EDIT: I forgot to mention how I mean the obscure and weird ones. There are plenty that are classics to this day because of how they were influential and kicked off pedals for the most part. Lots of people use them and they still make plenty of them because of this. I'm not talking about those. I'm talking specifically the ones that you can't find online or were made by a mad scientist in his basement and never got the ability to get public recognition for his creations.

I've been looking into glass cabinets for some of the figures and figure display cases for some of the more hard to find or figures that easily degrade with time (such as some of MMC figures)

I should mention, in terms of collecting vinyl's I was looking into this companies vinyl frames

A pack of three pack is around $140

 

[Hummingbird]

I collect the classic World of Darkness game books (along with new WoD's Changeling). Granted there's a few series I'm not interested in, but the rest of the collection is looking good.

 

[Daisuke Jigen]

I have a large collection of Blu-Ray's and DVD's, which I mostly started acquiring around 2010-2012.
