This is a question My Collection

Do you have display cabinets full of stuff? With it all neatly labelled, cross-referenced and entered into a database. Have you been to a convention? Do other collectors look up to you in awe?

I thought I was above this one. I'm not that autistically geeky that I have a Collection with a capital C. But no, I remembered I'm hoarding away every version of "Inside Macintosh" ever published.

What do you collect? And why? I mean, what makes you do it?

At the moment,
Warhammer, about 500 models in total. I don't really know why... I only got into it because I was given a rocket for my 11th birthday, and my mum made me take it back. I had 30 whole pounds to spend, turned around and BAM. Nine years later I'm still at it. I'm pretty good at it now though, and I've made about 500 pounds in the last year selling painted models.

And comics of every kind...I even have some of the ones featured on Superdickery. And Magic the Gathering.

And DVDs and books. Some of which are signed first editions from Terry Pratchett and Brett Easton Ellis, as well as a whole bunch of film concept art from Star Wars and The Matrix and a few other films. I love films and books, and I just enjoy seeing the evolution of an idea before it gets to the finished product.

And Bonsai trees, and those little guitars you can get. Dont know why, people just keep giving them to me.

Big guitars as well...I'm up to six, so far. Well, I play, and I now have two electric, a bass, and three acoustic.

I have every Guiness Book of Records since I was born. God knows why.

And a ludicrous amount of lord of the rings memorabilia. I have signed posters, swords, models, a standee I keep all my dvds in, and an old prog-album from the seventies by someone called Bo, with a signed Tolkien picture in it. I even have an English-Elvish dictionary for christs sake.

If you can count these too, I have a little collection of characters I made in clay, and theres about a hundred of them...as well as about 20 sculpts I've made of various comic book and film characters (League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Discworld, Spidey/Iron Man/Hellboy/Superman)

And I'm working on 8" sculpts of Space Marines for a stopmotion film I'm working on. So I'll have about 5 of those.

And at the moment...thats about it.


I am nerd, hear me roar.

Sorry it's not funny or anything...Its just me throwing my geekdom about
