Personally, I like collecting VHS Tapes
Yes, never in my wildest dreams would I have pegged you as a Hatsune Miku fan.Would you be shocked if I told you I collect Miku merch, honestly?

THESE ARE SO COOL!!!!!I dunno if I can count my DVDs/CDs as a collection, since I throw away most of the cases and put them in binders, but I deffo collect books. Got a fair few shelves stuffed with books that me and my partner have picked up over the years from old bookshops/markets.
My only other major collectable, I guess, are my Cassette Tapes. I have a fair few for both music and comedy tapes that I've been putting together over the years. There are a few modern ones in there, but my prize pieces are probably the two cassette box-sets of The Hobbit (1968 - BBC Radio) and The Lord of the Rings (1981 - BBC Radio), both of which are pretty cool editions:View attachment 71882
This is the radio release they did in 1992 for Tolkien's centennial (he was born in 1892) It's got a little booklet in that actually explains the production which is awesome, because it sounds really weird, and the reason for that is because the BBC's radiophonics workshop decided to adjust pitch and volume based on Bilbo's purspective. So the dwarves/humans sound really deep, but the goblins are high-pitched, because the dwarves/men are bigger than Bilbo, while the goblins are smaller. Honestly, it doesn't really come across that well, but it does make this adaptation sort of hilarious, especially combined with some of the odd pronunciations used.

This is the LOTR cassette collection, and it's also pretty awesome. My copy is missing tape 1, but luckily, they're easy to replace, and for now, I've just used my digital CD copy to create a repro of episode 1. It's another great adaptation from Brian Sibley, but what makes it extra AF is that, like The Hobbit, all of the cassette spines are rendered in gold:
