Besides Touhou/anime and vidya, what other things does /jp/ collect? Pic related. Getting back into Lego army building.

I collect trash. Literally. I don't throw anything away. I keep everything tightly organized into different bags and regularly update my catalog in excel. I have so much shit piled up it towers over my bed now. One of these days it will collapse on me while I sleep and I won't wake up.

They're supposed to be explosives specialists. Dunno if the markings are true to the SW universe or just something Lego made up. For the most part though markings do relate to something real like the Wolfpack.

[Anonymous No.]

I also collect legos. I wish I collected more star wars before they became real-people colored. Those obi-wans would make good samurai type clothes, but now they all have disgusting non-yellow skin on them.

I mostly only collect castle types, wish Lego would release the Wolfpack again. They were the best besides the whatever the red themed dragon guys were. Then black falcons, and then the castle 2010 guys.

I sort of regret not collecting more ninjas now that I like them. I wish they still sold those packs for each theme that had like 5-7 guys in them of various types. Not those battle packs, but the old ones that had both sides in them.

Different skin tones (black, brown, white) became standard for all theme sets. Space Police was fun and the upcoming Monster Hunters look pretty cool.

Whoa. So what kind of trash do you collect? Surely there are some types that are easier and more pleasant to keep than others. I think you cataloging everything in excel too earns you a medal of autism.

Still remember getting the Ice Planet triad cruiser for my ninth birthday. Then I was just happy.
Now I am not only happy but shocked at the luck of having a complete set with the original box and manual - for no other reasons than keeping my childish things at the age when others threw theirs away, and obsessively and irrationally saving boxes and manuals for everything.

I collect music. It's gotten pretty bad, I can spend hours searching for and downloading albums.

Are there even any non-theme sets anymore? I wouldn't be surprised if monster hunters was actually Monster Hunter.

[Anonymous No.]

I used to collect knives for a while, but it's way too expensive for an unemployed NEET.

[Anonymous No.]

I used to enjoy painting Warhammer Fantasy armies, then I became too NEET to be able to fund that.

My room has no surface that isn't covered in books now, so maybe they count? It's the one luxury I won't deny myself. I've only been able to sleep on half of my single bed for years due to having to move boxes onto it.

I also stalk nijiura meido artists, spending hours each day trying to hunt down any images I don't have that might be buried in forgotten blogs and the like, I'm not sure if that counts either.

I was sort of exaggerating about the excel catalog... I did try to keep one when I started collecting and used to write down everything (type of trash, origin, time it was bagged) but it was too much work so now I just use small stickers on the side of the bags.
As for the type of trash... it's mostly old stuff. Clothes, old toys, bottles, cups, tissues, newspapers. The thick stuff goes at the bottom, the softer stuff at the top. Not very difficult to organize.

[Anonymous No.]

I collect images.

But as far as real things go, I collect figs, plushes, and soon dolls. Its hard on my nonexistent budget. I'm thinking of learning to make something I can sell online for extra money.

Isn't there a word for this? I think I remember watching something about it on tv a while back.

Sorry. I meant LICENSED sets use the real skin tones. Derp. Lego still keeps its classic themes (Police, Fire, City) and now is making many 'themes' itself such as Ninjago, AQ and Dino (2). If you want some new uncommon colours and some hoes there's Lego Friends as well.

- Music, mostly instrumental and ambient.
- Figurines, though I don't have money for the mass collecting anymore. I sold some of my old ones. Now I usually get 2 or 3 a year, try to figure out what I REALLY want.
But lord some of the touhou stuff makes me want to sell body parts for dough.
- Pictures and I mean a MASSIVE amount of pictures. Going on 250 GB strong of JUST images.
- Doujin games, even if I never play them, even if they aren't translated.
- Minerals and unrefined gemstones, comes from a long love of geology. Fossils as well, but not as much.
- Flower patterned things. Jewelry, clothing, bed items, etc etc
- Beads. I have a shit ton of beads and while I have made about 30 bracelets, I could make many more but I just don't have the motivation.
- Cloth and threads for sewing. I keep buying them even though I don't have time/ enough practice to utalize them.
- PS2 and SNES videogames, two of my favorite systems.
- Crystal balls, spherical glass, any sphere made of glass.
- Colored Pencils and Acrylic and Water paint.

I'm really, really attracted to colorful stuff, like a nesting bird with ADD. I think it was to divert my mind from how horrible and dull the world is, and how I always hated my home life.

Compulsive hoarding?

If I don't remember wrong, the "record holders" were two brothers killed by their own collection. One was squashed and died in a cave-in, the other starved to death trying to dig himself out.
Supposedly their collection also included a nearly complete human body with all the organs and limbs pickled in individual jars.

I started a fetish collection at one point, as in saving an example image of every specific fetish I came across, I was up to over ten thousand, but the hard drive died and I didn't feel like restarting it after that. That was the only thing I ever actually went out of my way to collect for the sake of collecting and I still don't know why I did it. I don't really count stuff I have a lot of just because I enjoy it.

[Anonymous No.]

Nothing, actively. The only thing I used to collect were Yu-gi-oh cards. Spent thousands of dollars just buying 24 pack boxes, and still have a large amount in my closet that I can't seem to get rid of.

I meant licensed too. I don't like city sets though, I like pirates, castle, and space. It's going to become all Pirates of the Caribbean, Star Wars, and Lord of the Rings.

Would love to see a return to the one-off sets of ancient space, back when there were not only original factions, but sets that belonged to neither.
But think for now, we're going to have to live with the fact that licensed themes simply are more popular and thus more profitable than the original space themes with children, and so Lego has little reason to keep designing new ones for the adult hobby market.
And besides, there's a pretty damn huge hobby community that caters to exactly those old space themes, so it isn't as big a loss as it seems.

I used to collect bottle caps. The container I kept them in would always smell faintly of beer when I opened it. I forgot about it for a long time, and when I finally opened it again they were all rusty and no longer smelled nice.

For some reason that's really sad. That feel when you want to take a stroll down memory lane and search for your old prized items/collection... and then realize they're broken or missing. ;_;

I guess you could say I collect under rated, under manufactured, and rare Japanese DVDs/Blu-Rays.

They are strange, creative, and original.

I collect Japanese antiques, preferably Imperial items that incorporate gold, silver or bronze.

I collect a lot of Yukio Mishima items; anything that relates to his legacy.

Anyone else like buying Japanese DVDs/Blu-Rays?

[Anonymous No.]

I collect manga and figures... I like to collect games but my brother fucks me on that. I also collect dvds.

I need another book shelf i got more figures and junk... so i need more space.

Yea, I have run out of room on both my book shelf (full of paper character cut outs, Japanese cultural statues, friendship and girl friend keep-sakes, manga, magazines, rare lititure, and mini anime figs) and my DVD shelf. I have a lot more DVDs/Blu-Rays and books I just ordered, so I'm not really sure what I'm going to do.

The excess has been going on my desk, but I just finished organization of it all and managed to fit it on my book shelf.

If /jp/ ever has some good Japanese Antique leads I would love to hear.
I would pay a lot for a vintage Japanese military suit.
Mishima's was the best.

Mostly cameras and camera gear. Mechanical cameras and manual focus lenses interest the most. I wonder about what kind of person owned and used whatever gear I get. I used to have more than these two.

Surprisingly, the decades-old 28mm (the short one) on the left is sharper than the few-years-old 30mm that I used to take this picture. As with most manual focus lenses it's a joy to use as well, with the aperture ring and super smooth focusing ring.

That 50mm is radioactive too.

I collect my nails. I cut them every two weeks and put them in a box. I've been doing this for about 15 years. I used to collect stolen textbooks back in high school. I stole my classmates' books and stacked them in my room, writing the name of the owner and the date on a tag. My parents never gave a fuck, and now we have 6 stacks of useless textbooks piled in the warehouse.

Just for the sake of stealing? You never actually did anything to/with them?

[Anonymous No.]

>>8772778
Have you stolen anything else or just those? To me that seems like cleptomania in its very purest form. Stealing just for the sake of it. Even if the item is really absolutely worthless to you and you never intended to sell it.

I used to steal just about anything, but the only stuff I've kept are the textbooks and an MP3 player, which I stole from a guy I particularly hated. I stole his glasses too, but I just threw those in the toilet and flushed them down. As for the hundreds of pens, pencils, erasers, calculators, etc. that I took, they've been used by my numerous siblings.

Megabloks has ramped up their quality and tapped into some pretty sweet licensed themes too. I've got a bunch of their Halo figs and plan to get a few Starcraft and WoW sets when they come here.

I only have 3 anime figs, a small stack of VG and maybe like 4 sets of Lego (had a little more as a kid). I want to collect figs for certain anime series and Lego again but alas, poorfag gonna poor.
