Default What else interests you (apart from Ford) that you buy lots of merchandise?

Hey guys.

As the title suggests, I'm curious if people have interests other than cars/ford that they buy merchandise for, and how much stuff they have?

For example. I own ALOT of NSW Waratahs stuff. Flags, a ball, blue wig, superfan cape, jerseys, t-shirts, scarves, beanies, a tie, posters, pictures of me with players (framed and signed), etc.

I even bought a toy dog, cut and stitched a jersey to fit and got most of the tahs to sign it.





I also own alot of Guinness stuff. Glasses, a bottle opener that says "BRILLIANT!" every time you use it, slippers, a couple of hats that I "earned" on St Pats, boxer and of course, lots of Guinness.


So what other stuff do you guys go mad about? Pics are certainly welcome in this thread to show off your kit.

This is my dog, Burkie. I had to show him off in particular cos I love him to bits.



The back is autographed by all but 2 or 3 Waratahs.

He's survived multiple theft attempts, two beer spillages, a severe slobber/ear chewing by a toddler, and several attempts by females to haggle over his ownership (they wait til I'm drunk so they know I'm vulnerable, but I won't part with him).

In the way of Ford stuff I have about 40 model brochures, about 15 advertising posters, and the one that takes pride of place in my room is a 6ft high banner of the LR Focus (the model being superceded now).

Otherwise, most of my merchandise is guitar related. Mostly Fender and Ibanez (ive just bought another Ibanez bass).

i buy alot of RC stuff...only coz i break it all the time!
actually though, i want to start buying used RC nitro engines, clean them up, mount them on a nice bit of wood and display them.
some of them are actually a work of art in a sense.

Computers, video games (particularly car racing of any kind), err, can't think of anything else really.

PC's and peripherals for PC's, if there's one out there I have it, I'm a gadget freak.

Then there is smelly stuff, oils, incenses, the little wax things for oil burners, soaps (home made).

My biggest weakness, anything for arts and crafts. If you want to make it, I'll have the things needed to do it. Glitters, stickers, wool, sequins, beads, paper... lots and lots of different kinds of papers, beads, ribbons, rubber stamps, ink pads, pens, material, pastels, paints, paint brushes.. I think you get the idea. :nutsycuck

Models. Not of the human variety unfortunately, but I'm working on it.

I have cars, planes, trains and boats.

Pride of place going to my Hornby model of the Flying Scotsman steam-train, my Franklin Mint XK Falcon and an Airfix C-130 Hercules that is HUGE. (took 6 months to build and paint too)

Firearms someday. Still need to get a safe. Got a bit of Military stuff lying around, the M9 bayonet lying on the floor might scare some.

I won a Gandalf goblet in a comp. New Zealand Natural was holding. They said it was worth $70. I was expecting something huge but it turned out to be smaller than a boiled egg cup holder.
