I have a collectible cartoon glass collection.

Like those from "back in the day" That were sold that Pizza Hut & Burger King & Such

ET Glasses, Smurphs, Care Bears, Peanuts, Flintstone Kids, Muppets etc. I have SO many. I have a few more that I have to add... like the Ziggy ones that were released the year I was born in 1978. I Used to have them on Display... However once my children were born... I put them all away. Once we get our house I'll get a hutch and display them again

I collect watering cans -now I want just certain sizes though.
I have some cat stuff but I'm pretty picky-not to cutesy or dorky looking stuff.
I collect plants-have about 200 varieties of hostas and also liking ornamental grasses too.
I collect (or rather buy) Stephen King books-I have all except the 1st two and I don't want reprints but originals.
Oh and headbands!! I've got lots and lots of them.

Lots of animal stuff... especially bears, penguins and elephants (stuffed animals or otherwise). Also, crystals.. I LOVE crystals, especially quartz.

I would love to see that collection! Do you have any autographed? I'm a HUGE Stephen King fan.

I don't collect anything I can think of... maybe shoes & purses but I don't keep them to keep them... I keep them because I use them. Hmm... nope... nothing.

My main three:

1) G1 Transformers from the 80's (I've been a huge Transformers nut since I was a little kid);
2) video games (I don't even end up playing half of them...I just keep buying them for all my different systems);
3) snowglobes - My goal is to have a snowglobe from as many countries and major cities as is humanly possible by the time I'm old. Weird eh? What guy collects snow globes?

I think you need to meet my DH. Sounds like you guys were separated at birth

Comic books, but I'm really picky these days and don't buy much.
I've also got a small collection of straight razors which I do use daily.

I used to collect crystal figurines and (once upon a time) stuff on The Calling. There really isn't anything that I collect at the moment though.

I used to collect retro toys.

I sold them off on ebay about a year ago.

Things like Smurfs, Strawberry Shortcake, Rainbow Brite, etc...

I still have some stuff, but I had about 300PVC smurfs and sold them all...some were rare.
