Been collecting Garbage Pail Kids cards for a few months now. Some of you will remember these from your school days. I don't bother with the UK cards as they are smaller than the US equivilents and we only got a few sets where the US got 15 Origanal series (OS) sets plus 7 All New Series (ANS) sets. I have 4 sets of the origanal and 5 from the all new series. I've posted a few pics of cards for the benefit of those who have never seen them before.

I collect the old Game and Watch handheld games and also the old Tiger handheld games.
I have a fair few of them now and they are all in great working order :)
I will post a few pictures later at some point for those of you that dont remember them or have never seen them before.

I'd love to collect G&W handhelds but don't have the spare money for that sort of thing at the moment. There was an article about them in a issue of Retro Gamer and I didn't realise how many there actully are. I'd particulaly like Donkey Kong Jr, , Super Mario Bros. and Squish as these were the ones I most played back in the day.

Maybe when I'm richer lol

I have an atari 2600 and try and collect the games when I find them. I think they are more expensive now than when they where brand new lol

Been collecting Atari 8-bit stuff for a few years now. Not a huge collection by any stretch of the means but its the computer i grew up with and have a lot of fond memories. Nothing like waiting 15 minutes for a 48k tape to load only to crash 1 minute from the end!

You would love this place near me then, which has some nice Barton and Trent di-cast's in

Been there for donkey's years (Certainly as long as I have been alive), and the owner is a fantastic bloke, as John_Disco has found out, with his Tri-ang train stuff.
