Mine would include legos, stuffed animals, cat toys, old/broken electronics including oscilloscopes, computers and CD players, a small library of engineering, physics and religious books and a collection of nearly every piece of paper my husband has ever written on.
I’ve a nifty pile of hand tools. Like old block planes, hand augers, and some neat saws. The wooden frame hack saw is pretty cool. This summer I got some old lumberjack tools out of a barn.
99% of these tools I’ll never use because power tools are so much easier and faster.
I love the home handyman books from the 40’s, 50’s and thereabouts. I scoure garage sales for them. The pictures are a hoot and most of the material is still valid today.
The Legion of Super-Hero Comics/Andrew Lloyd Webber CD Museum.
Ladies and Gentlemen, step right this way! And behold! The Amazing Emporium of Fat Clothes!! Encompasing a plethora of sizes! Including “Extra-Large”, “Double Extra-Large”, and “Oh Dear God! It’s Moving Toward US!!!”
Yes, that’s exactly what I’m talkin’ 'bout…brochures, bumperstickers, patches, pins, souvenir cups,pencils,shot glasses, spoons,squashed pennies,thimbles, all that kinda stuff!! Perhaps we could open a museum together? (I would, of course, have to insist on top billing… 
)
Cool. Warhammer-type, military gaming, or Other? I’ve built and painted a few myself, mostly 1/25th plastics.
Museum-wise, I’m pretty well set up to open The Washington Museum of Model Car Kits or the Eastern King County Museum of '70s Porn (blush).
Ooooh, you not only have brochures, you have tacky souvenirs! I don’t have many of those because I’m too embarrassed to buy them, but I always admire them in a collection. I especially like it when you find a really incongruous piece of junk from a really solemn historic site–like a snow globe from Pearl Harbor or a plastic thermometer from Westminster Abbey.
Antigen’s museum of textbooks, movie stubs, and pants-that’ll-fit-again-if-I-can-just-lose-10-pounds.
Oh, and coins. I have a lot of coins.
Yes.
I have armies of Warhammer figs. Battallions of mecha, hordes of D&D and other RPG minis. I have painted whole casts of several movies in 25mm format. I’ve done 6mm fantasy all the way up to massive 200mm Napoleonics. One day they will be online and I will have an E-museum/ sales room.
I must go now and paint.
Oh! I’m going to need a second museum to go with the one mentioned above besides owning about 4000 murder mysteries. I also would have a ** Musem of Costume Jewelry Brooches**, I own about 3500 Brooches.
Museum of Unfulfilled Dreams, Unrealized Potential and Missed Opportunities.
Behold! The Museum of Unfinished Craft Projects!
Look! There’s the dress I started in 1998 . . . before I had boobs! And there’s the skirt I started knitting in the year 2000! And I’ve no idea what this is, but it once was yarn and therefore can be yarn again, so it cannot be thrown out.
Special Exhibit: Seam Rippers I Have Known – Join the owner/curator as she leads you on a tour of the sewing implements and cutlery she has destroyed while attempting to fix her mistakes. Things to consider as you take the tour: Does swearing improve or hinder the creative process? Is it necessary to buy an actual seam ripper when fingernail clippers will do? How do you tactfully explain to your mother the way in which you came to have a kilt pin jammed into your palm?
Museum of 17,000 comic books, plus an extensive collection of trade paperbacks and other books, as well as several hundred action figures.
I can’t make a collection of my own since I actually have very few of my own possessions. I don’t like clutter. But, my fiancee is a major packrat (a major thorn in my side). If I used his possessions, my museum would consist of:
Star Wars figs still in packages
Transformers which are in pristene condition (despite being over 20 years old and well played with)
Legos also in pristene condition (also well played with)
GI Joe’s also in pristene condition (also well played with)
Comic Books (about 25-30 boxes, probably 100-200 in each box, if not more)
Probably close to 1000 Magic cards
A few hundred Star Trek game cards
Old computer parts which are either obsolete or broken - or both, but which he still refuses to throw away because he might one day find a use for them :rolleyes:
I will say one thing for him, he may be a pack rat but even as a child, he took exceptionally good care of his possessions. Other than the comic books which actually belong to him and his brother, everything looks brand new.
Just to be fair, I will add in my own obsession. My contribution will be white ankle socks. I have a very large quantity of these. In my defense though, I actually wear them all.
