Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted January 28, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted January 28, 2021 Anybody collect anything to the point of near lunacy? No wrestling stuff please. Aside from the obvious Adidas, I've started collecting ketchups. I like to tell myself it happened by accident but let's face it, life isn't going to get any more exciting than this. I found one called Rubies in the Rubble, I haven't tried it yet though but I suspect it won't live up to its name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Lorne Malvo Posted January 28, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted January 28, 2021 The past year I've built up a tidy little collection of mugs based on tv shows/films. Bit gutted I had to retire my Brooklyn 99 NYPD one as in the summer it started to look increasingly Blue Lives Matter, but my new Parks and Rec mug is doing a decent job as a replacement. There's definitely a gap in the market there somewhere as most of the designs are terrible, finding one that is half-decent is a challenge. Richard Yates is my favourite author so anytime I see any of his books I'll pick it up. I've got about 6 editions of Revolutionary Road. They have to be from a used bookstore or a carboot or something though, using Amazon or Waterstones is just cheating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from the obvious ones with pics (like garlic or chilli) its just a bit of a bugger to tell what's what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, there are a couple of skleps in Stockport town centre, but I think they're shut at the moment. My brother's got a Polish girlfriend so I can send her some pictures and get her to advise me.

RIDDUM_N_STYLE Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Buying movies is my big addiction, with Funkos and mini figures a close second, though I haven't bought any blind bag/blister card figures in a while. The One Below in town had a bunch of stuff in in and around Christmas but I never got round to picking anything up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members quote the raven Posted January 29, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted January 29, 2021 (edited) Other than my geeky DC merch. I spend alot of hours out in farmers fields with a metal detector looking for stuff. I have a collection of old coins and random bits of stuff. Never found anything of real worth but did get a Sliver wedding ring taken to the British Museum last year and declared as "treasure" turned out to be silver and from the 1400s. Needless to say they didnt want it and gave it back. Edited January 29, 2021 by quote the raven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
