I don't collect physical items as such, but I do collect crafting hobbies which sort of comes with an ever-growing, if sometimes accidental, stash of tools and supplies. It's not just the yarn and the embroidery floss and the clay and the felting wool, it's all the damn specialist tools and then the storage solutions you have to buy for it all. And then your other half decides you're both going to get into dicemaking as the next thing, so you end up with an expensive 3d printer as well meaning your joint collection now not only takes up a whole craft room and half the living room, but now also the garage.
We used to collect retro video game stuff and still have a pretty good collection taking up space in my craft room but in the age of emulators and ridiculously cool handhelds I can't even remember the last time we fired up a real Game Boy.
