I collect Yo-yo's, coins and rocks.
oh snap you yo-yo?
I collect them as well, and have started to get into tops (but I don't really have a place to practice throwing them -.o)I like skill toys (also have kendamas and diabolos).
Really? Huh, neat! Yeah, I have a Diabolos, and i'm pretty good at it. Never played with a Kendamas thingy. As far as the yo yos go, I have about 70 or so interesting ones. A few Tom Kuhn yo yo's (my SB-2 is one of my favorites). Lots of Duncans of course. I tend to like the neat technologically inovative ones. My current main yo-yo for everyday trick use is a green Custom Yo Yo
http://www.yoyoplay.com/reactor.html. I've modified it with a ceramic bearing and teflon spin rings on the sidewalls. it spins reeeeely long now.
I don't have 70 or anywhere near that number of them
I've only been collecting for a year or so, as I just got back into them -.o
I live in a small town, back in grade school there was a yoyo epidermic. Everyone had one, I had many, but lost/broke most of them. Here are mine:
From the Top L to R: Dark Magic 2, 2 YOYO Factory ONEs, Yoyo Factory Protostar, Yoyo Factory North Star
Mid L to R: Duncan Mosquito, Freehand 2, and Butterfly, and 2 wooden yoyos of no brand
Bottom L to R: Yoyo from STL Zoo
(it lights up and makes all kinds of sounds!), Katz Meow, Yomega High Performance, Yomega Firestorm, Duncam LimeLight (it has plastic body, but wooden axle. And it lights up).
The big blue thing is a Big Yo Yo from YoYo Jam. Then there are the 2 Duncan Tops,one has a fixed tip the other is a bearing top.
Only 5 (the woodens, the buttrfly, and the yomegas) of them are from the past that have not broke. The rest all have been bought over the last year.
Other stuff I have collected:
Goosebumps books! I think I'm missing 5 -.- I bought them as they came out but there were a few that I never managed to get. I use to keep a list of the ones I need in my wallet so if I ever saw them at a yardsale/goodwill I could snag them...but I lost the list and have been to lazy to sit there and just write the numbers down again
Toys. I love toys. I have boxes of them in my room. Every 6 months or so I swap them out. I have figures from my childhood (TMNT, Masters of the Universe, Ghost Busters, etc..the good stuff from the 80s early 90s) all the way up to stuff made last year. If it looks cool, I'll but it. However I don't have that hardcore collector need in me, I totally open them up.
I didn't take a pic of it because it is all voer my desk..but i also collect change.
When I get a good 20lbs of it, i go to one of them Coin Counter things at stores and dump it all in. It makes for some good stares from people XD
