What do you collect? ***The Collectors Thread***

[redbreegull]

when I was a kid I had a goal to collect every star wars action figure and micro machine space ship and shit

but that shit doesn't make you happy and is costly af. I try to avoid hoarding anything material these days. I still have all those star wars toys and a ton of video games but I don't consider them like collections or anything.

all I have now are my collection of sexual escapades and failed relationships

(i don't need to explain that Yoshi is mario's dragon, everybody here knows that right?)

i aalllllllmost bought a supercool Terminator action figure, arnie from the first movie. i got some photos of all that stuff, can post some if anybody cares.

Fuck dude, ever since your post with all the photos and the write-up on Japan I've been making it a goal to go out there sooner than later. Maybe If I do we can meet up and the drinks are on me

But that's dope man, I never see Simpsons hand-towels or Yoshi stuffy's out here anymore.

And yeah, everyone knows Yoshi. Though you have it wrong my friend. Yoshi isn't Mario's dragon, it's his dinosaur .

Probably your Hebrew language bitin' you in the ass again

I tried to buy a Rey action figure but they didn't have those at the store, they had 6 billion Luke Skywalker ones.

god damnit that's true

in my defense he does spit fire in Super Mario World though

[Run To Me]

Was anyone else disturbed at the way Mario punched his dragon Yoshi in the back of the head to make him slurp out his tongue

DONT FORGET TO MAKe A GIRF AT GIFSURP

[LaBelle]

Mario doesn't care about Yoshi!

[teh b0lly!!1]

this is like discovering that mario rapes peach after he rescues her from bowser.

i wish i hadn't seen that post

edit: THESE posts

thanks a lot guys *turns on the hot water and cries hysterically in the shower*

[LaBelle]

Mario's not such a bad guy, though

[LaBelle]

Mario is tolerant

N e one wanna talk about rugs

[ohnoitsbonnie]

I love this rug. I bought it from a woman that lives in town. She had it on her wall for like 40 years

[FlamingGlobes]

I don't like the rugs

[FlamingGlobes]

But the rugs like me

There was actually a whole controversy about this last year.

I've developed a rule of one in, one out. I have a closet full of CDs and DVDs that I kept from the move. Whenever I buy a new CD or DVD (or videogame), I try to make it a point to pull a few items from the box to trade-in. It helps reduce clutter *and* saves me money.

Yes, I remember that. It was pretty awful.

I also saw a kid throw a hissy fit to his mom that he didn't want the Rey action figure because he "doesn't like dolls"

Society is so cool.

dinosaur and dragon are two discernible words in hebrew that are very close to their english counterparts (phonetically: drakon and dinozaur).

can't blame this on language, i'm just dumb unfortunately.

i put my dvds into binders; saves so much room.

Yes. It is. So much so that I've hidden it in the closet. Kinda digging all the hardwood floor anyway

[LaBelle]

All my dvds are in a box in the garage. I should sort through them and sell the ones I have no use for anymore.

I have way too many dvds, many still in the shrinkwrap and I have no idea where a ton of those films came from.

[Cool As Ice Cream]

buying shit when you're feeling low is definitely a thing
if it becomes a habit, then you're a "collector" (sounds better)

[teh b0lly!!1]

i collect scrapped suicide notes

LOL

Good source for lyrics...

... if you wanna start a nu-nu-metal band.

I did that too. I still have a good chunk of the collection on two book shelves (I enjoy having a more curated collection on display) but for a lot of my TV shows on DVD, sticking them in a binder was the only way to go. I mean, do I really need all 9 seasons of Roseanne filling up a shelf? Similarly, I don't need the American Pie movies or the Amityville sequels taking up space, but I don't necessarily want to get rid of them completely.

[FlamingGlobes]

I do wonder what the garbage trucks thought when they picked up three recycling bins and found nothing but gutted DVD cases that summer.

[yo soy el mejor]

i collect all sorts of trinkets i think are cool like maybe a neat rock, a found note or picture, miniature things, postcards, tiny figurines, old beads, etc. to most just junk mostly. when i find something i decide to keep, i just stick it in a box with the other stuff.

[LaBelle]

I got a Chucky doll that totally creeps me out.

He has a sensor that reacts to motion or light, so if I turn off the lights or walk in front of it, he'll spring to life saying something horrible.

I keep it with no batteries and in a spot where I can't see it from my bed. For safety.
