Collections and Hobbies

What kinds of hobbies and collections do you guys and gals have?

I like to collect paper maps myself. I have a map of The Northern Kingdoms from The Witcher, maps of Vvardenfell, Cyrodil, and Skyrim from The Elder Scrolls games 3, 4 and 5, a small map of Westeros from the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, a map of Middle-Earth, and just recently picked up a map of the Caribbean Islands from the AC4 preorder.

I also like to collect anything Star Trek and Star Wars related (though I am much more of a Trekker than I am a Star Wars fan, though I like both a ton). My Trek collection isn't very large, but I plan on building that up eventually. I have figures of Kirk, Spock, and McCoy, which I've had since 2001-ish, a couple of books, and some of the movies.

As far as star Wars goes, I have a Darth Vader helmet, a Droideka that makes noises and moves a little, a couple of lightsabers that I've had for nearly a decade now, some books, quite a few games, and I just recently ordered a Slave I ship (which came in today), and a Boba Fett VOTC figure which should be here tomorrow.

Books. I have a ton. The Lord of the Rings + The Hobbit box set, a mini gold trim copy of The Hobbit, Tolkiens unfinished tales, all the Harry Potter books, Quidditch Through the Ages and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (both from the Harry Potter 'universe'), about 16 Stephen King books, the first 4 A Song of Ice and Fire books, a couple of novels by Michael Crichton, some books by Philip K. dike, all of the Chronicles of Narnia, and a truck load of Goosebumps books which are what got me into reading when I was very little.

I also have all the boxes from every computer part I've ever bought. Boxes that contained my cases, GPUs, CPUs, RAM, PSUs, Mobos, etc. etc. etc. Don't know why I don't throw them out. Maybe I'm just trying to prove my nerd cred? :tongue:

The only other things I have that are worth noting are dolls/figures of Fran N Furter and Riff Raff from The Rocky Horror Picture Show, both still in their boxes.
