I've made several half arsed attempts to start collecting band related things, but there's just too many CDs/vinyl by different artists I want to stick at it. Maybe when I have a better income I can start building collections of individual bands. I pretty much just collect CDs in general, I'm nearly at 1000 albums now - and I've got hundreds of promos/singles etc tucked away in boxes.
I don't know what the hell I'm gonna do with it all if I ever have to move. Pain in the arse.

Cheers man. I have spent a lot of time getting this collection as well as a lot of cash. There are still some items i know of and want, but when you bear in mind that dave reynolds (azra / metalstorm / iron works) made some of these shapes in single figure quantities, i dont stand a lot of chance at getting them :(

I have a collection of about 15 Dennis Wheatley first editions. Not quite the same, but i have a few of his black magic books amongst them. Wheatley is awesome!!! Anyone else read him???

I collect beer bottles (mostly ale) - it started as a competition with James but his collection was apparently decimated by his parents' redecorating his room, but I carried on regardless. In total I'd guess at about 80 or so individual bottles.

Most are from big-name breweries like Shepherd Neame, Fuller's etc but there's also a few smaller ones I picked up at a brewer's market in Herefordshire. I'll take full pics tonight when I get home.

That's before I start on the star wars figures, 250+ smurfs, toxic crusaders, ninja turtles and 5,000+ beermats. Ask the lads how bad it used to stink of rotten beer in my room when you see 'em next.

To be fair Pove, I've honestly no fucking idea.

I collect CDs and knives.
Knives, and stabbing weapons.

And tattoos, if that counts.

I just tend to 'collect' thrash records. WOuldn't class it as collecting assuch, but I've managed to land some bargains beforehand (e.g. Grin for £12, Idolatry for a tenner)

But the UK ones were the best!
Gee.... I don't know about the rest of you guys, but lately the only things that truly motivate me are erections and bowel movements.

Thank the Police coming straight from the underground...
