Star Wars and records. Still buying up Star Wars stuff, but I stopped buying records when I stopped DJing.

Watches - mostly mechanical automatic Japanese watches, but I have a couple Swiss ones too. Haven't had the funds to buy a new watch in 5 years though.
Cameras - 35mm film cameras from the 30's - 80's, rangefinders and SLRs, mostly a Nikon and Retina ho. Can't swing Leica collecting yet.
Anything related to WWII - History nut and reenactor, so I have a lot of stuff related to this.
My wife might try to claim I collect fishing rods/reels/lures, but I certainly don't think of those things as "collecting". It's just stuff you have to buy to use for what you like to do (kinda like cigars!).

Me, too, but all kinds and from about the turn of the last century. Have about 400. One of the benefits of living in Rochester, NY (home to Eastman Kodak) is that they are everywhere.

Also:

Military bring-back firearms
US stamps 1900-2000
Military uniforms
27th Division memorabilia/militaria

My wife says I collect collections.

I had been collecting high end Danish pipes, but I've slowly been selling them off.

All sorts of stuff over the years. Coins, baseball cards, nautical stuff (I have an old school authentic US Navy Mark V diving helmet from the 30s ), model ships, and debt.

I only pull these out once a year at Christmas, so I forgot to mention that I also collect Fontanini Nativity Scene figurines like these



They're like Catholic action figures, I guess. I pick up a few pieces every year, probably have over 100 now. I also built some landscape dioramas (think model train stuff) to display them and add to that each year, too. Must have got my inspiration from my folks--when I was growing up they had a cool ceramic Nativity scene they bought in Italy. Only a few pieces in the creche, but it was probably my favorite Christmas "decoration." Just keeping the tradition alive for my own kids, who love to tinker with mine...
