um, well i used to collect tons of certain toys so i thought i'd post them here.
What kind of stuff did you collect?
I collected:
Digimon: the little tiny small plastic-y figurines that came 4-7 to a pack. I got one every week (literally) because it was third grade and I had those spelling tests and every time I aced them I got a pack (which frequently led to fights with my mother because I always wanted more than one pack).
Transformers Mini-cons: This was the only season of transformers i like, I collected tons of these little cars and planes that would transform into mini-weapons and little robots.
Zoids: I got quite a bit of these little mini-figurines too, i'm big on the little figs lawl
Legos & k'nex:...who didnt?
yu-gi-oh: yes, sadly, i went through this too ;-; except it took me until now that you can just go in the store, open the packs and take the cards you want and leave as opposed to paying 4 bucks. I also used to steal my cousins when he wasnt paying attention =3
but the thing i collected the most was
POWER RANGERS!: oh my fucking gosh, if you saw how much power ranger shit i had you'd vomit
i have like all the figures for every season up until when the toys got all high tech and electric and the same with their big robots. i even have power ranger cookie cutters! ps i also has a tent too and i got most of their little fake weapons as well. yeah, im totally a nerd in the power rangers dept.
sooo what shit did you collect again
POGS
bugs and put them in a jar for rituals
the doors of advent calenders.
Pokéman and Yu-Gi-Oh cards.
pokemon cards (I have the original series in first edition), yu-gi-oh cards (which I should sell), zoids models (which I would sell if they had any value at all)
Rocks. sweat;
at my cottage i had a bag of rocks for skipping and i would skip them and along the shore instead of away from it and then go and get them lawl

You assumed wrong. gonk;
Well, somewhat wrong. I collected those rocks with shiny black parts when you break them. It was very casual collecting too, I'd just put them in a bucket and throw them in the lake the following day.
also i was 8 cut me some slack :3
pokecards
hotwheels baddood;
The eyes of my victims.
pokemon cards
pogs
baseball cards
toy cars
i had some hot wheels and pokecards too lawl
those little animal figurines you get in packages of tea
i actually hate tea edumacate;
I collected beer bottle caps or whatever had a metal cap like that. I'd smash them flat with a hammer and me and my cousin would use them as currency. I also collected soda can tabs. Somebody said that if you filled a gallon jug with those tabs and sold it to the dump, you could get a hefty sum of money, so me and my cousin collected those.
Pokemon card phase
Yu-Gi-Oh card phase
Getting nude pics of chicks at my school phase

wtf lol
rocks, seashells, pokemon cards, dbz cards...
I collected the Tazos I'd get free in packets of crisps. I have like all the Star Wars ones they released bar two.
I also collected stickers, passively. I wouldn't buy stickers, but I'd get ones free or by other means and I'd put them on my wardrobe door. I accumulated absolutely loads, and my wardrobe was covered in them, until I got new furniture for my bedroom and a new wardrobe when I was like 12, and then I stopped.
Pokemon cards & figurines
Digimon cards & figurines
Crazy Bones
Legos
Zoids
Beast Wars
I collected ROCKS. Some were just normal looking and others a little more fancy. I am not joking. I remember I got this rock that was polished really purty so it was shinny and smooth and I would put it in my mouth. Cause it was shinny and I liked it. D:
Edit: And I also collected beanie babies. baddood;

I used to collect them in 4th grade. I should have kept them, because that's what my grandparents do, I think.
