I don't really collect anything physical, well except I got almost the entire catalogue of one gaming magazine. But that is more due to the fact that I used to read it, so I got every issue from 1994 till around 2002 when the magazine changed owners and name, and the old staff got fired. It's roughly 200 issues. But I haven't even touched them since I moved into my current house in 2006.
I wouldn't dare call it a collection yet, but I started purchasing Star Wars Ultimate Collectors Series Lego Sets. So far I only have three, a B-Wing, an X-Wing, and a Y-Wing. I wish they would make an A-wing so I'd have a full set of flyable ships from the original X-Wing game.
I used to collect music videos. In the electronic / trance music genre. I religiously watched and recorded every club rotation on every sunday. (Club rotation was a weekly dance music magazine that aired on German music television VIVA. between 1998 and 2004) Ah the nineties / early 2000s.
I also recorded electronic music from the German version of MTV2 POP, which aired ODC40 (official dance charts). Plus for a short while I even had access to MTV Dance, a special paid version of MTV, which showed exclusively dance music clips around the clock.
Of course had I recorded everything I'd have thousands of clips, but I only kept what I liked at the time. I used to record the entire shows on VHS, then use a VIVO card to transfer the clips I wanted to digital. I still have around 300 music clips from between 1998-2003. I lost some to CD failures. Those old writeable discs were very unreliable. Especially when I lent them to my friends who never returned them
What you think that's weird? You haven't heard the half of it yet. I also used to record female bodybuilding and fitness competitions. That actually made it onto cable TV back in those days. In fact it was a pretty regular feature on Eurosport, until the early 2000s. I don't know what got me hooked, but I remember watching them on TV as far back when I was 10years old. And it wasn't a passing fad either, I still prefer women with plenty of muscle. I still laugh at people who say women with muscles are "manly".
