    I collect different toys from Godzilla to anything that sparks my interest. love to read toyfare magazine or any magazine that associates with the toy industry, web surfing, comics (hell yeah),books (if a get the chance too), watching DVD or VHS of scifi or horror movies, drawing monsters or whatever pops in my head, watching and collecting pro wrestling figures from WWE to figures that you never seen before, and whatever I put my mind into. I think that it.

    I've been doing this since 1993-ish.

    Outside of that, I'm a huge gaming dork. I have just about every system along with complete game collections. The games aren't all original, but it's cool having everything (Japan / US) for a given console. (Turbo Duo, Sega CD, 3DO, 32X, Saturn, Dreamcast, NeoGeo CD, etc)

    I dunno, but it is a weird feeling when you see a post from someone that had been banned months ago.

    Besides TFs I collect Evangelion Stuff, and I used to collect, paint, and play games with Warhammer 40K minitures. I haven't busted them out in a while.

    I kind of collect coffee mugs from any vacation I take, although I am more of a Tea Drinker.

    I have started collecting the 25th joes, but only the Cobra Figs and the Female Joes.

    Have a Ton of Revoltechs as well, and Tons of Anime, old VHSs and now DVDs.

    Since I moved in with the girlfriend and her cats, I seem to collect cat hair on all my clothing as well, although not by choice...

    Aside from TFs I have a pretty damn huge Lego collection, mostly 1978 to present day (the 'minifig' era). Lots of town sets, I'm also working on a complete Classic Space (1979-1987) collection, and I'm on my way to completing the Lego Star Wars range. :D  I'll post some pics if anyone wants to see.

    Other hobbies include travel, photgraphy and a bit of writing here and there (working on novel #6).

    A Lego Collection.... You are officially banned from ever meeting my girlfriend, she is a lego nut.

    Oh and just in case your getting ideas now, she would dis-assemble every one of those lego sets and organize them by color. I guess she isn't a Lego nut, just a nut in general.

    Transformers has led me to begin collecting 1/32 scale cars. So far all I have is a few die casts. I also seem to collect hobbies.

    Hobbies include N scale model railroading, HO scale slot cars (which curiously are actually S scale) and RC models.

    Reading, video games, boating, drawing.. >o> I've been wanting to get better at guitar. But my acoustic is too big (hurts my arm) so I'm saving up to get something smaller.

    I would like to get into costume/cosplay making. I have a wicked idea for a Talathia mask with arm/claw gloves (the rest would be clothed. Fur Suits freak me out D8) and another idea for Movie Starscream. Although this requires sheet metal.. and would be very heavy. So I'm thinking about other mediums I could use. I do have a WIP of a Verg (from Blue Submarine No.6) mask I started a few years back...

    I play the drums and guitar/bass. I love playing and writing music, and recording. I plan to make a career out of playing drums either performing and/or teaching, but for the time being it's only a hobby.

    I've been in tons of bands, all sorts of genre's since I start playing drums when I was 14, I have years of live show experience playing around southern ontario, playing in front of crowds anywhere from a lousy 5 to an amazing 1200 people. The Rock/Alternative bands are always my favorite, I really get to perform with a lot of heart and soul and really get into it, it's a great feeling being up on stage and having the crowd (any size) cheer and jump around having a good time to music you've created. :)

    For me its:

    1. Gundam merchandise (MG kits, Mobile Suit in Action figures);
    2. Robots figures which appear in 70s and 80s such as Mazingers, Votoms etc;
    3. Comic book superheroes from DC Direct and Marvel Legends (which is ending soon); and
    4. Comic TPB

    In terms of other hobbies besides collecting, I do the following:

    i) Helping out with some volunteering work; and
    ii) Exercising such as swimming etc
