Daft Punk and other favourite band CD-s, also a buttload of DVDs and Blu-Ray
Model trains and Lego.
Pens. Mostly moving onto fountain pens, although I have a couple of gel pens lying around from different manufacturers.
I used to collect Yu-Gi-Oh! cards and die cast cars when I was younger. Nowadays I collect concert posters.
I collect old library music CD and vinyl rips (stuff dating back to the 60s and 70s), and video game soundtracks. some of which are self-ripped. 7 GB for the library music, 24 GB for the soundtracks. Haven't really started collecting anything physical, though.

I've ripped a few albums and a fair amount of singles, but it takes fucking ages to do. Half the time I spend trying to get it sounding good, so that's it recording everything with no clipping but isn't at the same time too quiet.

But if I had my own setup to rip vinyls, and could find such old library music vinyls, I'd rip them myself.
I collect small children from third world countries and sell them to "fuck I'm stuck in traffic"-ing
Antiques. Anything old and relevant to my interests. Usually Americana and Civil War artifacts; I'd like to start buying antique furniture but even small decorative chairs from pre-1900 (the style I like) are super expensive. There's a pair of red velvet and mahogany chairs from the 1890s at an antique store near me for $250 each.
Blu-ray copies of my favorite movies: [t]http://i.imgur.com/8Zh4GJZ.jpg[/t] Figurines from some of my favorite movies/anime/shows or video games. [t]http://i.imgur.com/WRCV81m.jpg[/t] Gameinformers, I'm not entirely sure why. I don't really even read them that much anymore, I've just kept them. I've got some REALLY old ones. [t]http://i.imgur.com/YT8Cyp3.jpg[/t] And this kind of goes along with the whole figurines from my favorite movies, but literally ANYTHING Evil Dead/Army of Darkness(Or Bruce Campbell) related. [t]http://i.imgur.com/A7xWsTr.jpg[/t]
Hotwheels. At $1 a pop, it's an easy thing to collect.
I really like pens, but only gel pens and ones that have ink that bleeds.
Shinies. All the shinies.
Retro video games. Currently I mostly collect ones for Nintendo consoles. Here's a somewhat dated photo of some of the stuff I have: [t]http://i.imgur.com/Y2pddQh.jpg[/t]
I collect decks of cards. Out-of-the ordinary designs, vintage decks, etc. Try and break out a different deck every weekend. Lighters too. Whenever I go though something good or bad, I pick up a lighter. I've got several different ones and they keep the memories vivid.
I collect those little plastic tags that keep bread bags closed. I have one from 1990 which is before I was born. So, I'm pretty proud of that.

But I keep losing them. They look like this: [t]http://www.everyonedoesit.com/img/products/clipper.jpg[/t]
Action figures, Communist bloc uniforms. Try and get some pictures working here soon.
I used to collect a [B]FUCKTON[/B] of Yugioh cards. Infact, I stilll have them! Might edit this with a pic later
Cardboard tubes from Toilet Paper and Paper Towels. I use them to make sheaths for the prop swords I've made/have purchased.

That's usually what I do. Anyway, I mainly collect records and I'm starting to collect DJ equipment & electronic instruments like midi controllers/synths/etc - all of which I use of course - ridiculously expensive tho :v: [editline]26th November 2013[/editline] Also like to collect little trinkets and things from different events I've worked on or been a part of.

Inspirational quotes to keep me going during the darkest of times, anything Harley Quinn from Batman (so far I have 2 costumes, three comic books, a figurine, a Lego figure, a Skelanimals Harley Quinn, a playing card-patterned skull ornament, and a few drawings a few friends gave me. I'm sure I will collect more stuff), anything Steampunk, precious stones, books (I've still yet to read more than half of them, it's ridiculous :v: ) nail polish, playing cards (I don't know why), foreign currency, notebooks (I just always bought another and another whenever I lose one :v:), and I have all of System Of A Down's tracks, both released and unreleased.
