Joe, and I can't but help to follow The Mighty Thor), and gaming doesn't help me from not collecting Heroclix (for supers games), Mage Knight, LotR, & D&D minis.Back in the big days of Ral Partha, I used to collect as many metal minis that I could.  Have a thing for succubi....  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />I pick up toys from time to time--a LotR fig that catches my eye here, a D&D action figure that I used to have there, etc.  Big "characters" that I'm very interested in getting are old favorites of mine--Snake Eyes, Cobra Commander, Zartan, Scarlett, Optimus Prime, Soundwave, He-Man, Skeletor, Thor, Batman, Joker, Spider-Man (esp. the symbiote costume variants), Iron Man, etc.  Also a few obscure favorites too--Crystar, anyone?Rocks--mainly crystals and the like.  Really like amber, amethyst, rock crystal quartz, & some other stones.  Like stuff that typically allows light to pass through it (to some degree), as well as having a nice, deep, rich color (and not overly pale or washed out).Dice--though it's really gaming-related, I've got a fair number of dice to my name (my g/f has tons more).  Mainly get black, purple, blue, silver, & orange, with the occasional "off" variety (like glow-in-the-dark green or yellow).  I'm thinking about getting a set of the silver dice (think they'd be sturdier than the precious stone dice).Wooden boxes--nice, well-made wooden boxes.  Typically have felt or some other lining on the interior, are hinged (but lack any sort of clasp), and more often that not have a metal, stone, or other material inlay on the lid & sides.  Currently most of my boxes are used to store my dice collection.Weapons--mainly swords.  Have a few to my name, but I'm intending to get some more as time & money allows.  I'd love to get a zweihander (non-wavy blade), a basilard short-sword (Museum Replicas used to have one, but I missed out on the offer), a ball-headed mace (not flanged), an early-period rapier for a left-handed person (hopefully with a swept hilt), and some more one-handed swords (Viking-style swords, cruciform-hilt swords, etc.).  Maybe a replica of a genuine double-bladed axe (& not a fantasy-style version).Also would love to get a couple of suits of chain mail, as well, along with some helmets (an open-faced barbut, a sallet with a "bellows" visor, a basinet with a "klappvisor," a Viking-style spagenhelm, etc.).Coins--currently have some U.S. coins, as well as a few foreign coins.  I'd love to get some Isle of Man coins (w/ the Viking designs), as well as a genuine platinum coin (I think Russia issued some long ago).  If I had the time & money, I'd go for antique coin collecting as well.And, one of my favorite pieces of my collection: one of the Hammer of Thor replicas (full-size); it's one of the 1st few of the limited release.  I haven't collected any LotR weapons, though I'm very seriously considering getting one of the Anduril replicas.</blockquote>
