The only thing I really collect these days is DVDs/Blu-rays/Insert Video Format Here.
I can only justify it (in my head anyway) because I’m an online seller. So while I spend money on some movies, the goal is to make more on selling others.
Anyway, I finally broke down and bought Monsters (the 1988 to 1991 TV series) on DVD. I bought it used and it wasn’t exactly a great deal, but the best I’ve seen for it in about 2 years.
Before that I way overpaid for an original release of the Herschell Gordon Lewis Feast Blu-ray set. That’s part of the reason I held off on Monsters so long. Within months of getting that HGL set it was re-released by Arrow and you can get it for a fraction of what I paid. Although looking at the re-release I don’t think the two sets are exactly the same. Still, the content I really wanted is still on that set, so it made me feel like a bit of a knob.

Eternia Playset.
Edit. And the last few releases that only went overseas. Tytus, Megator, Laser Light He-Man and Skeletor.

a good working copy of Wrestlemania 16, mine skips all over the place
I also collect out of print Criterion DVD/blurays .. if the price isn't insanely high and there are enough special features to justify the purchase

I collect dinosaur fossils.
I ticked off some of my most-wanted items -- an actual Dinosaur egg, last year. Spent ages wanting one, then I ended up getting 8 in a short span of time for lowish prices. I'll like sell some and get a profit.
Now, I would LOVE a Neovanator tooth.

There's a lot of Goosebumps stuff I still need. A lot of the stuff from the end of the first run is super hard to find. But of them, I'm still looking for the TV books and the Give Yourself Goosebumps special editions. I have two of the eight.
I also want to find the complete original runs of the first six books. The ones without the numbers on the spine. So far, I only have an OG release Say Cheese and Die! Could have gotten a Monster Blood with no number, but it was super beat up.

There's so many printing errors on US postage stamps that trying to get affordable ones is a bit of a challenge at times.
As far as anything involving dairy cattle genetics, I'm screwed in terms of finding anything from the 70s to mid-90s since most farmers chucked out outdated bull catalogs.

if I had the money, Fender Custom Shop is making 50 models of one of my favorite guitar players Terry Kath's telecaster, included is all the stickers he had on it which probably is why its 20 thousand bucks, well that and theres only 50 made...

Panzer Dragoon Saga. It sounded like the developers put their heart and soul in making it.

Panzer Dragoon Saga. It sounded like the developers put their heart and soul in making it. Back in 2002 found a copy of that game at a local pawn shop. They wanted 5 bucks. Flipped it for 90 two days later. Years later played a bootleg copy. Not a bad game but not even close to being worth what it sells for now. But then I never liked the Saturn. Thought of another item I want. As a kid the only Super Powers figure I never got was teh Plastic man figure. Would love to have one to add to my Plastic Man collection. But even a loose figure is priced way higher than I am willing to pay.

I only collect wrestling items. Over 30 years of collecting I have amassed quite a collection of random items, tons of figures, magazines, and books.
For the past year though my main focus has been to collect as many of the old Coliseum Video/WWF Home Video VHS releases of the 80s and 90s.
Since getting back into it I have added over 80 new (to me) VHS to the collection!

I don't avidl collect anything but if I had to say anything in paticular these two come to mind.
Original late 80s metal Dragon Ogre from Warhammer - Because I'd love to paint one up, but at £75+ and rising I think it's unlikely.

I used to collect desiccants. I really don't know of anything someone could collect that would be more useless.
