What else do you collect?
« on: June 29, 2012, 07:08:04 PM »
Besides arcade machines or retro stuff is there anything else you guys collect?? I have a rather large collection of badges and keyrings, some from the 70's - my 2 favourite being a badge from when superman the movie was released and a badge from when star wars was released, what about you guys???


p.s. im always on the lookout for more badges n keyrings, especially from abroad!

I am collecting classic videogames and handheld games;)
But I think I have to sell a lot of these things in the future.

I used to collect 60's and 70's soul/funk music and kinda got into it again when i got this classic as a gift last week. Love the cover art and Marvin Gaye is always great.

Love the japanese robots from the 70's 80's (can't really afford the ones from the 50's 60's).
I grew up with Grendizer on TV (we called it Goldorak) and was always a big fan of Popy toys especially Jumbo Machinders (or Shogun Warriors as Mattel rebranded a part of the line).
Childhood memories, huge size, bright colors, clean geometrical aggresive shapes = everything I love about them!


One of my graal, the Grendizer jumbo machinder Japanese version, you can start sparing money for my next birthday. ::)

I've got collections of various different things. First, I'm a big fan of Pearl Jam, and I've got around 400 bootlegs (audio and video) on my computer and on CD, plus of course all official albums and DVDs, numerous CD singles and a small collection of vinyl, t-shirts, stickers and tourposters. I also have a collection of Dire Straits and Mark Knopfler CDs, videos, singles and vinyl.

Besides that, I've got a pretty complete Colecovision collection, 3 Commodore Amigas with quite some expensive add-ons and a lot of boxed games. Finally there's a few hundred books and comics, CDs and vinyl, and I've got 6 electric guitars...

I collect Everything about Atari for 15 years now  ::) ::)

And you can even make "memorable" RT with Atari ST games for instance:

RT UK - > France (I was a little bit worried at the customs  ;D)

Nice one Franck. ;)
I collect electronic handhelds, C64 and Atari 2600 games.
I also have a collection of matches from around the world, but that is just a simple steal from hotels and restaurants. :D
