I collect pens and apple cider caps. Though in recent years, I haven't really added anything new to my collection.

I've been collecting dust. It's an easy hobby but it takes a lot of patience; you just sort of sit there for long stretches of time.

I've been looking to give away my dust collection.  There's a lot of it in my room right now, and it's yours for free if you drive on down and collect it yourself.

Ah dust. Who does not collect that? Don Glut is also a dust enthusiast.
Jurassic Park is frightning in the dark
All the dinosaurs are running wild
Someone let T. Rex out of his pen
I'm afraid those things'll harm me
'Cause they sure don't act like Barney
And they think that I'm their dinner, not their friend
Oh no

Super awful movie reference:

No one should ever look up this movie, just run, run while you can...

I came here looking at toy dinos, and end up going through crappy taxidermy.  The internet is a wonderful place.  I'll be sleeping with a night light from now on.

I dearly hope there's a lot more nitrogen than oxygen in your house...

Haha, I was gonna say... I hope the N outnumbers the O2 by about 4:1!

I've been a Godzilla/giant monster fan as long as I've been a dinosaur fan, and honestly right now I dare say my monster collection is significantly larger than my prehistoric collection:



Note that this image is a couple of months old, and I've gained even more figures since then.  ;D
I can post more images if someone would like.

Aircraft model collecting, mainly Boeing 747's, so far I have 8 B747's:

I collect a stupid amount of stuff - most of it expensive lol! Let me see now - almost all things pertaining to Thomas the Tank engine (i.e. Railway Series books, trackmaster toys, retro Brio stuff)... I'm still a huge fan of Thomas because growing up is overrated XD

I also collect Thomas engines, but pretty much exclusively the Wooden Railway,
I'm still after that elusive Donald, I've only been able to acquire Douglas!

I don't really collect anything else and put them in a collection, but I used to collect other animal toys. My favorite one is either the Safari Ltd. Green Iguana(my friend broke the the tip of its tail off) or the Safari Ltd. Mexican Redknee Tarantula. I used to have 2 Green Iguanas as pets and I have a Mexican Fireleg Tarantula. And speaking of pets, I also collect exotic pets. I am getting a new praying mantis soon, I just don't know what species. Probably a Ghost Mantis.

Ravonium

I don't collect too much other things. I do collect extant animal figures but I don't collect anything else that could be regarded as a 'model'.

CrypticPrism

Not really, I used to collect animals but I'm getting some Pokémon action figures from my grandmother for my birthday.

I forgot, I also collect dead praying mantids. I know it sound weird, but Entomologists do it too. Here is a picture of one(not mine). If you want to see mine, let me know.

Praying mantises are quite cool. That leafy one of yours totally looks like one of those Giger aliens with that head.
