It's Winter - What do you collect?

[bird]

Most stand up riders are into everything mechanical, electrical, fast, powerful, or fun. So the question is,

What do you collect...besides Jet Skis? Whether it be vintage or new.

I think a common theme is things from your childhood. I grew up riding mopeds and snowmobiles. Was big into RC starting at age 8. Then got access to a 25hp boat at age 12 and became river rat. At age 16 I got a 750 Katana, sold it to go college. Bought an 85 JS550 in college and now Jet Skiing is my main hobby. I barely go hunting or fishing because.

I collect:

1. 90s R/C Models.
Mostly Losi Cars and ABC Hobby, MRP, and DPI Boats.

2. Original Game Boy Games and Accessories.
I gave up collecting other systems last year and replaced bins of NES, N64, and SNES cartridges with EverDrives. Didn't sell the really good games like Zelda, GoldenEye, NBA Jam T.E., etc.

3. Legos!
I have a few complete sets now. I love the Jurassic Park/World and late 80/90s Space. Might start collecting Lego Trains.

The dream is to have an office or cabin lined with shelves of 1, 2, and 3.

Dont really collect anything. Mountain Biking is other hobby, At times I like it more than ski's. Have a Trek Fuel EX9 27.5 Full Suspension and a Niner MCR 29er Hardtail (Steel Frame!) and picked up Giant Revolt for Gravel Riding along with a spare wheelset to do some road riding also.............

I collect antique fishing tackle. I also collect empty beer bottles and cans. Probably be collecting a 12-pack more in about 15 minutes.....

Not so much a collector as I am a user. I have a bunch of vintage mini bikes and go-karts etc, but I am riding them multiple times a week and beating them into the ground as they where intended. Currently up to 9 motorcycles from early 70's z50's, ATC70's, early 2000's honda electric gokarts and mini bikes, (keeps the neighbors happy-er when they cant hear us) Hoping to pick up a couple onewheels next.

I don't collect anything... in fact I'm in the mode of if I am not currently using it, get rid of it.

That said, I happen to have a bunch of 80's era space lego sets that I just haven't had time to package up for ebay sale. Instructions, too, though some are no longer in mint condition because someone other than me got to them. If someone is really into this, I'd make a decent deal on the whole kit. Can gather info and provide on demand, as I don't have it all sitting here. Do the forum rules about having to post a price apply to legos??

Likewise, I've got a number of Lionel train items (O gauge I believe- would have to check)... some "sets", some cars no longer in the boxes, but barely used. I need it all gone, but just haven't tried to sell it. If you are interested, PM me please. If you aren't, but you know someone, please connect us... I'll pay a finders fee if it works out. I hate throwing away something as mint and cool as this type of stuff, which is why it is still here.

Nah, something like this we dont really pay too much attention to........ I might be interested in some of the Lionel Train Items, I have the cars from and old set from when I was a kid, but not the tracks or controller.

Since I've had a kid and have been working a lot and now have another kid on the way... I've been collecting inches on my waistline. No time to ride the ski.

Can’t get much out of a Bud Lite can BK!!

Other than vintage skis I’m getting a good collection of firearms and ammo. I don’t tell anyone how much I have anymore because it makes some people uncomfortable.

True in SO many ways.................

I’ve been downsizing the last few years so the only things I collect these days are movies and TV shows for my Plex Library.

Winters are when I organize...and render things down to fit my small work area.

Starting to collect more art too I guess.

At one point I thought it'd be funny to collect LaserDisc or Betamax. What media do you collect movies on?
