    Excellent collections, im into RC too, had a off road tiger truck (blummin mental) just have a nitro scubie @ the moment. I have two planes, well technically one sukhoi plane, and one T45 hawk (EDF) jet. To round off my very small RC collection, i have two lipo powered helicopters. They are a challenge.

    I have collected many things over the years (my wife collectively calls it c.r.a.p, not sure what she means). I had a collection of computer/game consoles, dating right back, but sadly had to sell the lot (financial issues). That was a while ago now.

    Last but not least is my collection of watches. not a huge collection mind, keep getting told off! 'How many arms do you have' she cries!. She just doesn't get it.

    As part of collecting and building HiFi gear, I still use CD players, as I have a CD library going back to the mid eighties. I have a collection of CD players, and I also modify them. Here's one CD player from 1985 which is very interesting, and sounds amazing (the best out of box CD player that I own):

    Hotwheels cars, I only have a small collection that I add to when I like a car. My dads collection, well, thats been going since the 80's.

    Lego, I have tons of it. I have alot of big models I havent built.

    I have the Technic Enzo Ferrari, 2 Massive technic tow trucks, 3 trains, 2x Model team hot rods, 1 model team Black truck/trailer chopper, Ferrari F1 Technic, and a whole heap of assorted smaller models, as well as police station and a big service station.

    Then there is my dads collection (who is 75 years old) I bought him the "Silver Champion" (google it) one year for christmas, and it took us 12 hrs to build it. Once again, His collection oustrips mine......

    Tamyia Hyper Racers, The 1/32 motorised versions of the R/C cars Kiffsta posted earlier. Love them. (Dads outstrips mine here).

    Guns. Real ones. I only have 4 (what i need to shoot with, looking to add more) And once again, dad....... (By a LONG shot on this one)

    FZR parts. Never have too many of those! And The one collection dad DOESNT have!

    Oh yea forgot about the hotwheels cars.dont buy many now. They don't make Em cool anymore. I just gave a fzr250 rolling chassis to a mate.had been in my yard for about 10 years. The go owner blew the engine,bought it here.i removed the engine and he took it to a shop.havent seen it or him since. My mate was wanting to do the cafe racer thing and was wanting the wheels and brakes. After talking with the guys parents I told my mate to come take it.
