Warhammer Fantasy and 40k (Table top gaming miniatures, for those who don't know). For Fantasy, I have approx. a 100, 000 point High Elf Army, dating back a few editions. (Thats about 10, 000 models, give or take, all painted by myself).

Yikes. I don't know how you can paint that many redundant models without going insane. That's why I stopped adding to my orc army. If I had to paint one more plastic goblin spearman I'd flip out.

Not exactly, but those LotR Moria Goblins are so damn close that they might have pushed me over the edge (at least with the LotR game there’s less of the little buggers to paint).

I know the feeling. For my army, I painted up about 150 Dragon Princes, on Dragons! (Old School rules). On top of that, I have about 200 Reaper Bolt Throwers, 1000 Lothern Sea Gaurd, 100 Pheonix Guard, 500 Archers, 50 Tiranoc Chariots, 300 Swordmasters, and a large assortment of custom heroes, princes, mages, and my personal Phoenix King, which has a better survivability rate then Tyrion (over 500 games played, the Pheonix king has never been slain once. Tyrion, on the other hand, gets killed once every three battles due to being a target.)

The ebst experiance I ever had with this army was taking on 8 oppenants with my single army at a Grand Tournament. 100,000 points of Dark Elves versus 100,000 points of High Elves. It was a match of Epic porportians. Heroes and all were allowed into the match. The amount of magic being tossed around was just plain sick.

Transporting your troops must be a b!tch. I consider myself fortunate if I can get a 2000 point army from one place to another without misplacing a unit or two.

What's your secret?

You want sick, you should see the new chaos rules. A friend of mine almost went into convulsions when he saw all the nauseating new crap at his disposal.

i've collected many things over the years.
the collection i am most proud of is my he-man, I have every single figure. not many vehicles, but a few. plus castle grey skull, snake mountain, and the horde's lair. I do not; however, have the eternia playset.
I have been tempted to start buyng the new he-man figures...the cartoon is very well done. it actually has nice drawing and animation unlike just about every else that coems out today.

I also have a lot of original star wars figures, some in better condition than others. the one toy i always wanted was the imperial shuttle, but i have quite a bit of vari9ous things form the different movies.

i collected fantasy pewter figures for a few years and still have that massive collection, probably a couple grand dumped into that.

currently - nothing that i am actively collecting

I made an effort to collect the Homelands Expansion (Magic the Gathering), but stranded about 10 cards away from the whole set. Now, I'm stuck with countless Minotaurs, Faeries and Legends

. I have also collected 2 series of comic books: Astérix and Thorgal. I'll probably collect the whole Discworld series now

Thanks sooo much for the mental image...**shudders**

I also think that my reversible-Sheepskin jacket, technicolour velvet acid jacket, Bohemian knee-length green quilt jacket, green corduroy bomber jacket, green fake-velvet paisley jacket, black 70s cordury dinner jacket and all-coloured all-fabricked patchwork jacket counts as a collection of art

At least now you have some idea of how bad the EU really is.

Indeed - they are works of art.

Well I have many collections, but I'm just going to talk about the newest one that I'm going to start. I haven't gotten very far, but I'm going to start heavily working on it. Drumsticks from bands I see in concert.
The list is very short so far:
System of a Down
The Echoes
Fairweather

Bands I'm going to attempt to get drumsticks for by the end of the week:
Midtown
Bleeding through, I'll update and tell you if I get them later.
