I've stupidly gotten back into Transformers.
The Power of the Primes line got me, mostly just for the Dinobots, but the current War For Cybertron: Siege line has really sunk it's claws into me. Got all of wave 1, got most of wave 2 pre-ordered (only skipping the Leader class ones) and a large chunk of "future waves" that are available for pre-order pre-ordered.
Debating on the WFC:S Omega Supreme. I mean, I got a stupid expensive 3rd party Omega, so I don't need Omega, but.......

I don't necessarily collect hats, get a new one here or there. My Dad however. Cleaning out some of his stuff, we're currently at 6 large outdoor garbage bags (the ones you use for leaves and such) full of his hats.

The Souls of the Innocent. Mu-ah, ha-ha-haaaaaaa...
-Gamebooks I have complete sets of Fighting Fantasy, Lone Wolf, Blood Sword to name but a few. I've lucked out when buying some of the rare ones, as the ones hardest to find go for around $250 and up these days. The most I've payed is $30, I think.
-Iron Maiden vinyl Every new album/single, I buy a copy of. I have most of their old stuff, but I won't bother with the super rare ones like The Soundhouse Tapes, because they are super expensive.

I have a small collection of pre-crash video games. A friend works in a recycling plant and rescues any he thinks I might have an interest in, and I'm slowly restoring them to as near-factory condition as possible. I've stupidly gotten back into Transformers. The Power of the Primes line got me, mostly just for the Dinobots, but the current War For Cybertron: Siege line has really sunk it's claws into me. Got all of wave 1, got most of wave 2 pre-ordered (only skipping the Leader class ones) and a large chunk of "future waves" that are available for pre-order pre-ordered. Debating on the WFC:S Omega Supreme. I mean, I got a stupid expensive 3rd party Omega, so I don't need Omega, but....... My four year-old son has really gotten into Transformers in the last year, and with his fifth birthday coming up soon I've gotten him some of the G1 releases from the last few years. I'm now waiting for him to get a little older so I can get the more advanced toy lines.

I say sit out the WFC version.

Video games and Gundam model kits mostly these days. Used to collect comics, Magic the Gathering Cards, Beanie Babies, and Star Wars and Star Trek ship toys from the little Micro Machines to the bigger ones. I also like getting action figures and plushies from series I like.

Baseball, entertainment, and WWE cards. I used to collect football and basketball cards, but once Panini got the exclusive to each I bowed out.

Over abundance of sticker autos, products that are sticker dumps, too many redemptions (Topps does also have a problem with redemptions), the autopen controversies of Dak Prescott and the Florida Georgia Line guys, Panini Points replacing hits for a long time, and holding back hits like the 2014 National Treasures fiasco where no Bridgewater and OBJ RPAs were hit till the 2nd wave, and the first one was hit by a box breaker that works with Panini.

I used to collect Snes games but after the classic came out I stopped. (insert hands up shrug photo here.)
I do collect Magic the Gathering but that's more to actually game with over some sort of must have them all thought process.

I have a healthy vinyl collection - 200+ at last count.
I'm also trying to get all of the albums/45s/cassingles I use as chapter titles in my novel. (Long story short: Digital is physically dead. Anything running on ones and zeroes doesn't work anymore, including CD players Tapes and records are the only way to go.) I'm currently twelve away from having all of book one (75 numbered chapters in all.) I also have fourteen from part two (out of 100+).
I also collect those keychain value cards from the grocery store. I currently have 43 cards from fifteen different states.

Old school knives, cleavers, and kitchen appliances. There is a certain pleasure in restoring them to presiding condition.
Scorpions-not live ones, as I do not have the space to house them. But preserved specimens, as well as jewelry and various depictions of them. Keeps me in touch with my nature as a Scorpio.
Obscure B grade horror movies.

Not sure if it's a full on collection, but I've been slowly replacing my movies with the Criterion versions.
I got Eraserhead today, and in May when Criterion releases Blue Velvet, I'll have all the Lynch movies Criterion has done.
Now I'm looking at the Criterion versions of Wes Anderson movies, seeing where I'm lacking.
I also have the Criterion versions of Spartacus and Fear & Loathing In Las Vegas.
