EDIT: This was originally semi-hypothetical for what collections you would want to have if given the opportunity, but this might as well just be about collections in general. I believe I've mentioned I never cared to collect stuff, cause it can be pretty pricey and I tend to sell stuff I don't use, but after recently collecting 1:64 diecast cars, I gotta admit once you get into it, it can get pretty addicting. Anyone else collecting anything? Anything anyone wants to collect? If so, what and why? As for me, the announcement of Hot Wheels Unleashed had me missing my Hot Wheels collection I had as a kid, so I just decided to buy someone's collection off Ebay. Next thing I know, I'm looking for any good lot I could find and ended up winning an auction for a bunch more. Now I have a vision of lining up my bedroom walls with cars.

personally i think the upside-down lion would get the drop but i am not a lion expert

discuss credit to skaia for giving the idea

The Negator!

I've started actually collecting physical MTG cards to use in the future, and while it's not like I've got anything super rare right now, I've got some stuff that actually is pretty nice to have. From Zendikar I got a alt art, foil Lotus Cobra which isn't worth much but it is super pretty and I can use it in some decks. Miraug, Fury of Akoum is nice to have, and I got a foil Brightclimb Pathway which isn't amazing but still neat to have. The World Tree from Kaldhiem and I managed to snag two Jumpstart packs just a few days ago with Rise of the Dark Realms and Oracle of Mul Daya... So for a collection that started with Zendikar Rising, I'm actually pretty happy with some of the stuff I've managed to snag. Actually, I kinda forgot from Kaldhiem that I got a Tyvar Kell, Alt art Tergrid, and Koma, Cosmos Serpant which is a commander I would like to build someday.

Lions. Everything the light touches... is THEIR kingdom.

Honestly the crystals don't even look transparent. To me they appear crystalline, yet reflective. Like hematite. If I were to make them I would build them out of card stock, then layer fiberglass on them. Sand (with a respirator!!!!!!) till it's smooth, spraypaint black, apply either a wax metallic coating (brand like rub n buff) or a dusting of chrome rattle can. There might be an easier way, I just really love fiberglass and pepakura. Making them translucent would be a bitch and a half, and probably involve styrene and a vacuum table.

@yui you posted on your alt pretty cool, 7.5/10

guys, the lions would win just because it's a LOT of lions? like?

Yeah... I am underestimating the weight of actual armor. If I get into foam, my Cairgorgorn dream could be closer than I think. My next concern, and indirectly a question, is if you know how to simulate the crystal parts of the attire. That has puzzled me for a while. For example, would I need some kind of polymer or transparent plastic and a cast? No idea.

Hug Eldegoss - I find it so cute! one of my top favorites from Gen VIII, and among my 20 favorites IIRC from all gens too. Catch Quagsire - looks funny, and can actually be good with Recover and Unaware. Fight Togetic - my least favorite of this set and I don't like it anyway, looks so bizarre to me with that neck and awkward wing size. Begone. Pidgeot | Gallade | Chimchar

lions would win cause that's a lot of lions

The Raging Raptor "Just to be clear I'm really not interested in any kind of hooking-up. So if that's the goal you should look elsewhere." "Yeah, like I mentioned before...that's the least farthest thing in my mind." Itsuki chuckled, flipping the visor of the helmet up for a moment. "Just getting to know the competition...make a friend, ya know...the usual." he gave another chuckle before flipping the visor down over his eyes. "But if we're going to head out I guess you lead the way. I'll trail along behind you....Don't expect a race anytime soon though." Itsuki looked at the moped and stifled a small laugh, before shrugging. "Yeah something tells me in a real street race, I'd smoke you big time. But yeah, just try and keep up. There's a bar nearby so even you should be able to keep up." he egged on, before taking the initiative and drove off ahead of Cid. So far...seemed like a nice guy...a bit on the stuck up side with not being interested in any hook ups like this...meaning definitely no double dating. Shame...but then again, not the point of the hang out. The Blazing Squire "Hey! Why don't you quit staring, come over, and say hi?" Richard looked a bit before realizing that Gabby was referring to him...whoops...looks like he made it a bit too obvious that he was staring at her and Julian. As he shrugged and began to approach the pair, Julian began to speak. "We were just having a lovely conversation about why we all got into the Dueling business. You're more than welcome to join us. We're not too terribly different then, you and I. Dueling was what I was best at, so I aimed to be the best at it. Although, I enjoyed it right from the start." "Sorry for the staring...didn't feel right just barging into a conversation that you both were having." Richard gave a smile with a rub of the back of his neck. Though listening to Julian, it was obvious that he was the real deal...just like his grandfather told him he was back in the day. "Richard Wallace from Troyce. It's an honor to meet you both...you especially Mr. Miles, sir." he said respectfully. "Ehehe...sorry...guess it's the fan side of me." Richard chuckled nervously. "I remember being regaled with stories of your many Duels by my grandfather...and he even showed me quite a bit of your Duels. Done a lot of research about how you did things...oh and the Psychics you used...the elegant way you Dueled...a lot of it and of course my grandfather inspired me to play Duel Monsters, so I really have to thank you for doing that. ....annnnnd I think I've been rambling a bit too much..." The young man paused, nervously grinning now. Finally he composed himself and took a deep breath. "Um, anyway...if we're still talking about what got us in the Dueling business, I'd be happy to give an answer." He now looked a bit serious, but had a smile on his face the whole time. "My grandfather originally used Duel Monster cards to tell me stories...all kinds of them, but namely more along the lines of the swords and sorcery...dungeons and dragons...the whole deal. He taught me how to play the game and because of that I fell in love with it...and when he passed, he put me on the path of the style of Dueling and the deck I currently use. For me, my grandfather and Duelists like you, Mr. Miles, got me into this line of...well, can you really call it work if you enjoy it?" Richard paused with a chuckle, before continuing. "I'm just doing what I can to pay it forward basically...to show the next in line how much fun Duel Monsters can be and how it can really connect people."
