GI Joes, all Hasbro Stuff, no Dragon or off brand things unless it is authorized by Hasbro. I have around 150 of the damn things and keep buying more every day. Mostly the 12” ones and a few of the 3 3/4th (only originals form the 80’s) plus tons of accessories. They are all still in there original boxes, except for a few. My wife asked me the other day, what am I going to do when my son (due in Nov.) asks if he can play with them?. I figure what the hell open them and play till your hearts content, after all they are toys! But on second thought, by the time he goes to college, and if E-bay is still around, they should just about cover it if prices continue to rise like they have. If some one would IM me that can post pics I’ll show you all what I’m talking about.

I have a weakness for watches, tool gadgets and sliderules myself (I'm an engineer and a geek, what can I say). Phased

I can't really think of anything. I don't have the money to collect anything. Although I do collect empty brass. I only have like 15 or so calibers since I don't really have a 'source' for it.

Anyone have empty brass they want to send me? [:D]

What do you want?  I tend to pick up different brass while out shooting if I don't already have examples of that particular caliber.  Sort of a Jr CSI when out at the unofficial country dump/range.  Kinda neat to find uncommon brass there, I've found 9x23Largo & .357Sig before..not your typical 'good ol boy' handgun rounds.  Just snagged a small tool box of misc ammo/brass from an auction.  All kinds of neat stuff: 28, 16, 12 & 10 gauge paper hulled shotgun shells, .40-65 WCF, .38-40,, .374 H&H, .300H&H, 8mm Lebel, .348 Winchester, 7.7 Japanese, .25-35 WCF, .25-36 Marlin, .32-40, .401 SLR, .25-20, .32 SLR, .41 Long Colt, .218 Bee, .38 Long Colt, .41 rimfire, & a .40-.45 caliber pinfire...all from a quick double handfull.  Still lots left to sift thru.  Don't really have a purpose for all this stuff but after sort it out my collection will have more than doubled, esp in all the obsolete cartridges.  Whoever had this stuff before must have been a reloader because some of the brass has been necked down, etc to different calibers.  One of the ".25-20" rounds is actually  been reformed into a .218 Bee.

My other collections:  
Anodized 1950's style aluminum cups, bowls, plates etc.  If I ever decide to do a 80% AR lower I might just have it anodized like my dinnerware (violet, green, red, gold etc) just to match.

Betti Page & Xena stuff also, with a smattering of Little Mermaid stuff thrown in (it's for my neice, honest...)  The Little Mermaid stuff is more of a running joke since I'm nuts for  redheads  ie "Here, I found this Little Mermaid beach towel while out garagesale-ing, thought you might like it"  

misc militaria.  Assorted helmets, gas masks, ammo pouches.  Whatever catches my eye if the price is right.  Not as useless as my other collections, but I really doubt I'd grab my Spanish gas mask, Swedish  helmet, & Swiss ammo pouch set if TSHTF.    

Old tools, etc.  Must work though.  No wall hangers.  I have an old electric drill that gets used now & again, not the current "pistol" style, this one has the grip behind the motor allowing for a more direct push while drilling.  If it ever wears out I'll actually see about having it rebuilt since it's made of aluminum, etc & not plastic.  Feels like a real tool, not a toy.


GT6, I recently saw a shop manual for early-mid '60s Fords (I recall seeing 'Galaxie 500' on the cover) while meandering thru a local antique mall.  Yellow cover, large format (bigger than the typical Chilton book, & thicker also).  The same seller also had a similar book for the mid 70's Vega that I almost bought (1st car was a Vega...[BD]).  If you're interested I can go back & get the particulars (years covered, price etc).  Somewhere out in the garage I have some (I think) Galaxie or Thunderbird aluminum wheels.  They are smooth, not slotted & are flat backed as if for drum brakes.  I have 4 but they actually are 2 pair.  One set is slightly different & appears to have a different bolt pattern.  Not the best of shape but I've held onto them because they're neat.  I'll see if I can get Riff Sr to take some pix with the digital camara if you want.

Seriously?  What kind?  I love planting roses (and would lose a formal rose garden someday), and I've got a bunch of day lillies out front that I got from the St. Louis Botanical Gardens.

I think the fortune cookie and the dream analysis already firmly established that I was gay.  I'm just trying to figure out how to tell the fiancee.  


... oh yeah.  I didn't want to admit it, but I also collect porcelain.  [;)]
