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

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.

That cat skull is scary, I've seen it!
Erm... well I'm maybe a bit sadder... or used to be, until I realised how sad I was!
I used to firstly collect Lledo 1930s cars and even had some from Walkers Crisps and some other ones I sent off for. I soon stopped that!
Then I somehow got into EFE and Corgi model buses... very peculiar! I still have all these and my model bus collection is worth around £300 or more.
But before all that, I was heavily interested in plastic aircraft model kits and I have some rare Czech made models of 1930s Luftwaffe aircraft, which are still boxed.
Oh and I also have a couple of OO guage trains that I bought when my dad had his model railway. Again, I still have them.

Ooo...I also collect cool dolls.
Well so far I only have a Michael Jackson and a Jar Jar Binks doll (Marilyn Manson has exactly the same doll  ) But I'm looking for more, only I can't find any.

I dabble in coins, and I'm really into SF books. I have well over a thousand going back quite a few years. Not sure if they're worth anything, but I like them.
One coin I have has the Roman emperor Constantine on it, pretty cool. About 1600 years old I think.
