Besides diecast aircraft, what else do you collect?

I'm sure this has been asked before, but what else besides diecast airplanes do you guys collect? If you're like me you collect a little bit of everything. Or at least whatever that teenage boy forever trapped inside of you finds interesting! Here's a sampling of what you will find in my hobby room/library (don't say I didn't warn you). In no particular order: Star Wars comics, picture books and Gentle Giant busts and statues; Aviation and Space books; Dinosaur picture books; History books (mostly Greek/Roman warfare, Samurai and American Indians); Movie Star photo books (Marilyn Monroe and Hedy Lamarr); Sci-Fi and Adventure DVD's; my latest obsession, the new American President Golden Dollar Coins; and of course Diecast Airplanes.

Besides diecast aircraft, I love books on airplanes, especially WW2 aircraft as well as books relating to WW2.

Re: Besides diecast aircraft, what else do you collect?

Mmmmh, I collect DVDs (around 500 so far), but I focused more on diecast lately. Too much $ to spend on the little models I guess.

I also collect books, mostly english ones.
