Non-Wargaming Collections and Geeky Merchandise

Hragged 09 Apr 2014

Share your non-wargaming collections and assorted geeky purchases here!

I'm a pretty big Doctor Who fan, so here's my collection of 5" Doctor figures standing proudly in my glass cabinet

Just need someone to release a 5" Peter Capaldi figure now!

Sazel 09 Apr 2014

Well, I have somewhere between 5-8,000 Magic: the Gathering Cards, but I don't want to pull them out and have to try and snap a picture of them

Otherwise, I have a good collection of old D&D books...

And I also have pretty much every Terry Pratchett Discworld Novel that's been released (ungloriously stacked underneath my lamp in my office

)...

I also collect exotic instruments and war-axes/halberds, but the former is scattered through my house, and the latter is technically not started yet (I only have one mini-halberd from France

lol).

33 Gnobs! Over 3 Packs of Trappers! Woot!
Gibblet, Nibblet, Crunchybit (from Slaughtermaster achievement)

New book WLD: 20/10/2 - Yay tourney wins and random game win!

This is a great idea!

I've never been a huge Dr. Who fan, but those figurines are seriously awesome! Expensive?

I don't have pictures right now, but as soon as I get home

I collect pretty much anything that is of a "Limited Edition" nature, so special DVD runs, collector's edition versions of games etc. I also have a collection of Magic the Gathering cards that must be going on for 2,000 cards now. I also collect Pokemon cards, but sadly sold my first generation collection a few years back to fund University books. I'm also a collector/obsessive purchaser of phones and tablets.

After all, painting 100 night goblins is something you do in the morning just before you are off to work.

And I think you missed a 0 when you wrote 11 armies. The correct nr should be 110 armies I would think, based on your painting speed.

Pratchett fan here too, just have the most recent book to read!

Great books!

Tried getting into Magic the Gathering a few years back but none of my friends would play

Some of the Dr Who figures were more expensive than others, they were around £10-£25 each.

I'm a bit of a Halo nut too, here's my little Halo media collection:

With bonus plush Grunt

just-josh 10 Apr 2014

That's an impressive Halo collection...

I think £25 is a decent enough price for figurines with that crisper paint job and detail

See, I had originally bought MtG cards to play but none of my friends were into it either... Now I just collect them for the fluff and lovely artwork

I also have every Discworld novel, I really like the old unique cover art, shame he passed away.

Hellboy is my other vice, I love the lore in the 'Graphic Novels' (comics). And a few ideas for my Yokai are from the animated movie sword of storms.

I collect Star Wars action figures, but haven't bought one for a while, ten dollars for one figure is too much for me, which is why I got into miniatures last year, which while just as expensive, is a bit more interesting because of the painting and converting aspects. I also have all of the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy books, and a bunch of gears of war and halo action figures, and a couple of buckets of an old lego theme called bionicle that I collected until 2010 when the line was cancelled.

I don't think I've got anything that would seriously impress many here. I've about... 40-odd Beano annuals going back to the 60s at the oldest, a somewhat token collection of MtG (including a hilarious EDH deck - so much fun!) and a good amount of Pokémon cards (boasting a lovely two-page spread of old holos from the original sets).

I don't suffer from mental instability. In fact, I enjoy it immensely.

I have all of my baseball cards from 1978 - 1985 sitting in binders.

What EDH deck you running?

Picked up the preconstructed Bant one with Derevi (at RRP, surprisingly) and proceeded to stuff with loads of fun and silly things. There's a slight enchantment theme, which works well when you've got your commander on tap all the time. I do have a bit of a reputation within the group for being a backstabbing arse which usually gets me lots of unwanted attention though.

just-josh 14 Apr 2014

HA! Very cool

I've never got round to playing EDH, but it always seems like a good laugh. My Friday Night Magic group play, but I'm always too busy playing X Wing.

With enough like-minded people who have no intention of trying to break the format or escalating it too far, it's best way of playing Magic in my eyes.

The Captain 14 Apr 2014

I have these, full movie poster sized and framed-

I also have a sizable comic collection including hardcover Hellboy and Walking Dead collections.

And a limited edition Tintin lithograph that my mum gave me as a graduation present-

just-josh 14 Apr 2014

Where did you get those movie posters? I've been searching for years!
