I think most people have at least one collection, if not many. What kid never picked up rocks at the beach or on a path and declared it the start of their rock collection, to their parent's dismay? (Or at least, my mom was never too keen on them. I'd have to smuggle them in. I'm such a rebel.) I'd sure find it interesting to see what kinds of collections other people have. Not only to see if I collect things in an abnormal way.

So, what kind of collection(s) do you have? Is how large is it/are they?


***

In response to my own question, well, I have many. Many. Probably too many. No wonder I have so much junk. I'm such a pack-rat too...
Aaaanyway, most of mine aren't too large, nor do I super actively try to find pieces for them, but they're still fun.

Cutting to the chase, I have:

1. A Star Wars collection

Ignore the Knight Bus to the right.

Yes, that is an Imperial Guard toy car next to Leia. My mom got it for me from Disney World a few years ago.

2. A "piggy" collection.    
 Not pigs mind you, but piggies. This collection is scattered all over the place, but here's a sampling:

I actually have more piggy stuffed animals, but like I said, they're all over the place.

This one's a little freaky.

3. A small Pokémon collection.    

Mostly things from when I was younger.

Nothing special, really. I forgot to take a picture of my books and games, but whatever.

4. Books!    

Though not really a collection,(although I guess you could consider it that) I have a crap-load of books. I loooooove my books.

Two new book cases and they're already overflowing...

I have another drawer mostly filled with books as well, but it had stuff on top and I was too lazy to move it.

Keeping in mind that these are only my books, not the rest of my family's, nor the ones that used to be mine and are now my brothers'.

Not a collection, but I have a crapton of toy cars that I mostly accumulated from about 2002 to probably around 2008. I remember that I had around 200 by the time I was 7, so by now it must be closer to 250-300. It's enough to completely fill three containers about a cubic foot each.

I remember when I was in elementary school, around 2nd or 3rd grade, I too had a rock collection because when I saw them on my classroom's carpet, I would always look at it and just stare at it in amazement. Guess that shows how easily intrigued I got as a child.

I have too many little collections... So I'll go with ones I can see from my desk.....
I collect world coins. I've also got a various collection of limited edition Pennies, Nickels, Dimes, Quarters, Loonies and Toonies.
From Celebrations, Remembrance Day, Olympics, just random artworks, all the sort.
A very small collection of stuff from Soviet satellite states from when my dad was over there, Which I'm very VERY slowly trying to add to.
A large number of Pokemon plushes and figurines.
My bro and I also have a joint collection of Limited Edition's of various games. We just kinda help each other with the purchases if we need to.

I have around 300 Beanie Babies sitting up in my closet somewhere. I don't have any room to display them, so I might just sell them sometime in the future.
I also have all 50 state quarters, a few wheat pennies, most of the Presidential Dollar coins, and almost all of the new quarters. (they have national parks on the back instead of states or territories)
I also have a small collection of hats (20) and pins (around 60 or so).

I've been collecting the Pokémon trading cards, mainly one from each pokémon. Got all the B/W ones and quite a few of the other gens.

My first thought was that you collected real, live dragons.


I can't believe I forgot, but I have a very large number of stuffed animals I can't bear to part with, to my mom's annoyance. I also sort of started a coin collection this summer, nothing super exciting.

I was waiting to try for a picture, but eh screw it. My prized collection is a snowglobe collection! I collect them because they're pretty and I get one from every new place that I visit. A vacation is not a complete vacation without a snowglobe. I currently have 9.
