I only really collect PCE, but I kind of look out for gameboys.  Not the rare expensive ones, but I have fun trying to get every basic colour on the cheap.  Aside from that, I want to have a decent game library.

i only have another hobby which is VW busses,....this uses most of my free money. mostly collect stickers and use them, also Camaro hot wheels if i see a good one. i used to collect comics, but with two kids and a wife i support , i cant justify tying up my money on stuff the kids cant eat. my tg16 games money is from parts sales and beer money i did not use.
I want to be more like 337.

Laserdisc, records, plastic models (cars, Gundam, etc), other game systems, Saturn, Cube, Wonderswan, Neo Geo Pocket, others.

Lately I seem to keep buying stereo gear...not sure if this is a thing yet.

All sorts of retro game systems, the NES being the oldest. Tabletop RPG books and dice. Books about Japanese society, culture, and history. 2 manga series (and that's it).

Games of all types:
console games (both retro an current-gen though lately it's been 90% retro and 10% current)
PC games
RPGs
wargames (anything with cool minis - mostly because I enjoy painting rather than playing them)
tabletop board games (particularly the Euro and co-op stuff)
card games (stuff like Fluxx, Quiddler, Once Upon a Time, not CCGs like Magic - yet)

But my rate of collecting is usually pretty slow.  I also support a family, so I don't pick up much very often, though a 2nd & Charles recently opened up in town and they've taken a bigger chunk of my finances than they probably should.  :oops:

Oh, I also pick up cool pop-up books from time to time.  Robert Sabuda is a paper wizard.  :P

I also collect crap for tabletop gaming, I guess.  If that's considered collecting.   

Theyre required to play the games though, so does that count?

Besides games for other systems (and indeed systems themselves), I mostly collect anime & manga-related things. Since sometime last year I've started to buy anime on LaserDisc (just bought some more in fact :lol:) and I've gathered a small collection of artbooks that I hope will grow over time. Other than that there's the usual "tech" I guess - computers and the like. A friend got me into minidiscs, so I own two portable recorders now.

Though being a weeaboo nut, I don't have many figures or model kits and the like. I'm having a hard time to justify the cost vs satisfaction I guess. It's not like there isn't figures out there I want but not for the prices they are going for.
I must say it's fun to see other people here gathering LDs as well.

Arkhan, that depends. If you just have a bunch of books on a couple systems and you use them all, maybe, maybe not. If you exhaustively collect all the books of a particular system or two, definitely. If you, like me, pick up just about anything that looks interesting that you can afford at the time, regardless of whether you think you're likely to play it or not, I'd say probably.
