Hello! Today I would to talk about collecting. When I was smaller i collect a bread label's and Post office stamps. I had a lot of bread labels, every time when my parents are came back from shop, i said: Are you buy a bread? Then my mother give me a bread, i cut a packaging and took a label. I had more than 300 different labels. I was collecting a post office stamps too, i had a different types of them. The olden s and newest stamps in country. Now I don't collect nothing. I have some questions too: Are you collecting something? How many years you have, when you collect first things? Do you collect something now?

I like collecting things. When I was a child I used to collect almost every brochure that I find or someone gives to me. Used to have piles of useless papers at home and even today I still keep collecting things.

Yes, I'm collecting somethings even though I'm 34 years old. Would you believe that we started collecting toys since the 1980s? It started with the Star Wars action figures (12 figures they are long gone) then to He Man (which still in display at our home), GI Joe during the mid 80s and then Ninja Turtles and Star Wars again when it was re-released during the late 90s until today (300 pieces). We are now collecting transformers action figures. We did not collected them during the 80s because of the design then.

Hello friend. When I was a child, it was very popular with us children to collect matches and candy wrapping packages and as we grew older, it because popular with us to collect stamps till adulthood. As time goes on, these hobbies of mine vanished. Now I am interested in electric products, but not collecting them. It is very natural for us to have a different interest at a different age when it comes to collection. Enjoy yourself, ET.

Hello, my dear friend! I think that the postage stamps can collect all the time, there is not an age when to stop it. When we plant every time we want collecting different things, it is just normally. Thank you, you too envoy the life, and collecting!

I love collecting cards of my favorite Japanese anime series. I've been collecting since I was a kid. It's pretty hard to find it in our country these days but when I see one I like, I will not let that one pass by and I will buy it for sure. I've collected I guess three hundred or more cards and they're in separate containers. I want to buy a box that I think would fit all of them and would give space for any future possible additions to my collection. On top of that, I also collect small figures (around 3-5 inches) and I have them on my display case. I started collecting those around 3 years or more ago I think. It's full now and I don't have any intentions of adding anything unless I really want it badly. Aside from those, I am continuously collecting music CDs, DVDs and merchandise of my favorite actors, music group, and TV series. I started collecting albums and merchandise related to my favorite music gruop, V6, since 1999. I recently bought a cabinet to house all my stuff and it still wasn't enough. V6 has it's partition in that cabinet. Whenever I'm at a store, I always think before buying: "If I buy this, where will I place this?"

I collect a lot of stuff! When I was younger, I collected everything from stationery to seashells. For 2 years now, I've been collecting gacha machine toys or capsule toys. I usually try to complete a whole series, but it's so hard since what comes out is random. I've so far complete 2 series: 1 mymelodake keychain series, and 1 Hello Kitty Safari Costume Swing series. I also bought Zoo and Chinese Zodiac series online. I also collect stickers, though I haven't added to my collection lately. Same with rare candy wrappers.

When I was a child I collected those little toys that you get inside Kinder Eggs. I managed to get three large shoe boxes filled before I decided I was too old to collect thing like that and I ended up throwing them away. After that I began collecting postcards from all over the world. The best ones were the ones that had benn writen on, a little piece of history if you like. When I moved out I never took them with me, but I wish I had. Some postcards can be worth quite a bit of money now, and I had some beautiful authentic hand made ones too.
