What do you collect?

Derek W · 30 Jan 2011 at 20:17

Just started collecting limited edition Christopher Ward watches - 2 so far.

Would quite like to start on some footy and film memorabilia. Just bought a signed Rangers top and had some casino chips and cards from Casino Royale for a while now.

a bunch of us met in london, march last year and Phate didn't have change for the tube so I gave him 5quid but he forgot to pay me back :mad:

Got an old Stamp collection from when I was a child.

Also collected a number of Proof Coins in Gold and Silver a few years back - probably worth more now due to the price increases of bullion recently.

Also got a very small collection of Fountain pens, among them a Parker Sonnet, Parker 51 (very nice pen) and a Namiki retractable Fountain pen!

Old film cameras and D-Day maps

Think that way, I have one, its a good thing to have.

60 millions vs 24 million, I would say thats better odds, less units sold in greater population

The NES was pretty much the dawn of the mass market console gaming market.

The Xbox was not.

Throw it away

That's just that set which is why they're all the same. And that's how Japanese characters look Saber Lily is a character from PS2 Fighter "Fate Unlimited Codes" btw: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVWHMyzHA04

Heres something else from my collection that people here might know a bit more:

This is one of the rarest things in the collection, it's a Final Fantasy VII statue made when the game was released in 1997. It was limited to 1000 copies.

I NEED THAT!
How much is that worth!?

Well it appears for sale online every now and again, as there are only 1000 it's not up too often as you can imagine. I've seen it sell 4 times online, one of which was mine. The last auction I know of sold here. Note that it did actually sell. Mine didn't cost me quite that much.

If you just want a cool looking statue from VII then there are way cheaper modern ones out there

This is more like it - http://www.volksusa.com/outfits-lingerie-box.html

WHY?

Strife212 · 30 Jan 2011 at 23:18

Haha, you guys love my Dollfie don't you :cool:

What do you expect, they're a doll company, of course they're gonna sell doll clothes. People sometimes buy blank ones and dress them up for photos. They've gotta wear clothes! They also do limited edition ones based on anime / video game characters like mine.

SexyGreyFox · 30 Jan 2011 at 23:32

The only doll I would have is a Real Doll - Google them.

I have a few of these type. WW2 and modern military. Go next to my collection of 1/72 military vehicles.

Which figures do you collect?

I only collect WWII figures and my main aim is to get a 1/6 Firefly and Panther from Armortek. Expensive but considering they are built solidly from metal, are remote controlled and can carry the weight of two 'large' adults, what's not to like?

I also collect Dragon Armour 1/72 and have all of the Wittmann Tigers. They are not as valuable as they used to be but to spend £8 on a model tank and see it continually listed at £200 on ebay is heart warming, not that I would ever sell them though.

The 3 things that I can think I want are:

A statue of Cloud
A statue of Sepiroth
and a model of Fenrir

The statues have to be of a decent size and well detailed.

http://www.andrewsorensen.com/films/pages/images/B000069F5H.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg These are really good quality statues and really well detailed.

Anything like that available?

That came free with the LOTR DVD extended edition (bookends), I think they were like £50 or something? I chose not to buy them as they were really mass produced, not that great quality (moulded and not that big) and in reality not worth that much money.

My brother bought them and I remember the one from the final film (i think) was really nice and solid!

The 2nd was the Gollum statue

Weird and paedophile, I don't see the connection. It's also not a "little girl", I don't see where you're getting this from, and why you're fixated on it, and he's also no playing dress up with it just because he has one. You seem to have a problem based on your own issues.

I just put it down to Mohindor doing a psychological projection towards Strife212.
