Yes,I have the same weakness.I love collecting Star Wars memorabilia,espeically stuff relating to the original trilogy.The pride of my collection is all the original(the first line)action figures from Star Wars(all in their boxes,unopened)and an original movie poster for the first movie(when it came out in the theaters I watched it every Saturday religiously,for almost a year!!!When the movie left the theater I asked what they were doing with the poster and they said..throwing it away..so I asked for it and they gave it to me.)

I also collect comic books(Spiderman #1 and X-Men #1 my pride and joy)and books(mainly first editions).
    


You know... I had Lando Calrissian (in disguise) and Luke Skywalker from the original "Return of the Jedi" toy edition. I gave them to a cousin as a present. He destroyed them. Now I know I could probably sold them to a collector.

Small bottles of anything and everything. Most range from .5 inches to 1.75 inches in height. When I was in Hawaii, I found some killer Chinese opium and poison bottles. Geek

Besides that a (small) collection of favorite TV shows on DVD.

I'm a big collector of British action/adventure TV shows from the 60s and 70s on DVD. My favourites are The Professionals, The Sweeney, The Avengers/ The New Avengers, Auf Wiedersehen Pet, Lovejoy, Minder, Doctor Who, The Prisoner, Department S, The Champions, Randall and Hopkirk Deceased.
 
Also, have a ton of Westerns, 60s and 70s action films (Clint Eastwood/Charles Bronson etc.) and Kung Fu films, though the latter of those I've gone off slightly in favour of cult TV, a far more entertaining endeavour imo.Smile

The original Star Wars figures seem to me to be much more genuine, they have that vintage character. One of my uncles collects comics, he has literally thousands all sitting in boxes in several different people's houses, I have spent many days reading through his collection.

Re my own collections, I was, at one time, among the three largest collectors of Bondiana in the U.S.  At one time, I had first editions of 85% of Ian Fleming's novels (both British and American editions), and first editions of 100% of John Gardner's Bond novels (both British and American editions).  Two of my Ian Fleming's (you Only Live Twice and Thunderball) were autographed by Sean Connery and Lois Maxwell, and my British first of On Her Majesty's Secret Service was autographed by George Lazenby.  I sold the entire collection in 2003 for many thousands of dollars.
 
I also have a quite a collection of (don't laugh, now...) demitasse cups and saucers from all over the world.  And like many here, I also collect books of various types.  My children's book collection is fairly extensive (including old books and first editions), and my art book collection is also broad.
 
Peace.
 
You want to give it to me, don't you?WinkLOL Come on, be a friend.LOL
