[QUOTE=Trunk Monkay;42823622]Pretty sure 1911's are legal in Canada but I'm not sure what licensing they require. Ask in the firearms forum in GD; firearms licensing and registration is a lengthy process in Canada so the sooner you start the better.[/QUOTE] Yeah I know well the Canadian licensing process, I own a rifle already. And the RCMP site says the Colt would be legal, but it's a restricted-class weapon so I'd need to go through licensing again, and I can't be arsed for something I would never use.
I collect a lot of things, nothing particular. I collect figures, posters, and anything that I can find a great use for. Such as building a diorama around it. I got tons of figures from gundams, halo, Aliens, random game/movie characters. When I get a chance, I design a diorama around them and display them. Also random posters from things I like or customs made art I have printed into poster size. I even have a full set of Colonial Marine armor. Basically my entertainment room is my collection room, also apparently my man cave to some.
I counted my records, I have 480 LPs, EPs and 12" singles. And a picture [IMG]http://i43.tinypic.com/2itivm0.jpg[/IMG]

I used to collect foreign currency, but sort of lost interest in that after a while. I have a neato German coin from the 1880s that's worth around $300. I collect gourmet soda bottles. We have a store here that rotates their inventory every few months so I have quite a few. That, and a collectible mountain dew metal bottle that was released a few years ago. I guess you could say I also collect music. I'd love to start getting records, but that takes money. I have a decent selection of CDs around the house, and over 30gb of music on my laptop.

Currently I have the following: - Bulls #23 away white - Bulls #23 home red - Bulls #23 alternate black w/ red pinstripes jersey - Bulls #45 (jersey when he came back from retirement) - Bulls #12 (jersey he wore one game in his career when his normal jersey was lost right before game time) - Bulls #23 retro jersey - North Carolina Tar Heels Jersey - Laney High School jersey - Chicago White Sox baseball jersey - Birmingham Barons baseball jersey - Olympics #9 jersey - Washington Wizards #23 away jersey - Wizards #23 home jersey - Washington Bullets #23 retro Wizards jersey - Blue #23 AllStar jersey - White #23 Allstar jersey - McDonald's All American #23 jersey

Video games, I have 20 consoles so far Also Muse albums - I have all of their studio and live albums, plus a few singles.
When I was younger I would collect diecast models of cars. I dunno the size exactly, but they were pretty big. My old room back at my folk's home has about 6 plastic cases holding about 14 cars each. But I also had cars sitting all around my room.
Right now I have a small collection of Daft Punk CDs. I really want to start collecting old computers though. I would just love to get my hands on a Xerox Alto.

Ask in the firearms forum in GD; firearms licensing and registration is a lengthy process in Canada so the sooner you start the better.[/QUOTE] 1911's & most handgun's are legal in canada you just need to aquire a RESTRICTED licence wich alows you to purchase restricted weapons. You will also need to take the NON-RESTRICTED firearms course and then the RESTRICTED firearms course. You will also need to find and belong to a firearms club in order to purchase a restricted firearm. Ruger SR1911 is a great little package and its farily affordable :D
I wish I had started collecting video games like 5 years ago when I could pick up SNES, NES, N64 and old SEGA games for cheap as dirt prices. For now I have started a collective collection with my friends of Pokemon cards.
Playing cards. I have 117 different decks and counting.
I collect bitches
I collect a lot of shit. Mainly Lego, and by extension Bionicle. And I mean, all Bionicle. Yes, even the "modern screw up" stuff. Bionicle was such a large part of my childhood, and it was part of the reason why I didn't have any video games growing up. From rime to time I get the urge to build with it again. Other things I collect include Yu-Gi-Oh cards and hats
I collect Magic The Gathering cards, and now I collect comic books too. Got a bunch of comics from the late 70's early 80's handed down to me from my dad, so I've been adding to the collection since.
Metal coca-cola bottle caps because I don't have anything better to do.
I have a collection of coins that belonged to my grandfather, was given to my brother, who gave it to me. It's fairly big but i have failed to add many contributions to it myself. I'll see if i can take some pics this weekend.
Military stuff including firearms. It includes equipment, uniforms and such.
