What items do you collect and cherish? I've still got lots of Pokémon related merchandise, survival horror games and music DVDs. I've also got plenty of CDs and it appears that most of them were originally chart toppers. I never trade my games or music, because I'm always pleased with my purchases. :)

I used to collect stamps but now I collect Beswick Horses. Or anything horsey, ie, headcollars, saddles ect. (I'm horse mad!)

I collect Bearington Bears and Bunnies. I absolutely love the clothes they come dressed in. Apparently a mother-daughter team design all of the bears and their clothes.

Here are a couple of my favourite Bearingtons that I have (Giselle and Serena Ballerina):

I also collect Gund bears. These two are my favourite (Barni and Marmalade):

They're lovely!

I collect Hess Trucks. I have 1995, 1997, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, and 2006. The 05 and 06 ones are probably in mint or near-mint condition, but they get more worn as the years go back. Now I only take them out of the box when I first get them to look at them.

Cool, I bet they're worth money.

Oh yeah, that's why I collect them. Unfortunately, only the ones from probably 2001 and on will be worth a good amount in the future because they have less wear than the others.

Beswick horses are worth around £35 for an average sized one but they can cost up to £200!
I buy them cheaply then put them on my shelf!
Although I might sell them in the future.

It sounds like you've got quite the collection of Sponge Bob stuff Bea! I've only got one Sponge Bob thing. It's a game for the Nintendo Gamecube. You have to collect spatulas to move on to the next levels. I haven't played it for quite some time though.

I've seen it twice, at home and on an aeroplane going to New York. And I quite enjoyed it.

Please don't talk about being obsessed............ That's my middle name. I collect stamps, coins, CDs, DVDs, cameras and heaven only knows what else. I'm in the process of transferring the remaining 600, or so, LPs to CD. I had over 2500 LPs at one time. (Plus over 300 reel to reel tapes, about 400 cassette tapes.) The CD collection is now between 1600 and 1700. Over 200 DVD movies.

Help....I'm running out of room.
