I was curious what else everyone here collects aside from the obvious tiki-related epherma. Personally, I collect the following: Records (yes, even non-Tiki ones) Books (mostly science fiction, mythology, etc.) Drunken pink elephants Movies I used to collect: Comic books Stamps (grandma forced it on me) Baseball cards

W WenikiTiki Member Hawaii Joined: Jun 10, 2005 Posts: 183	W WenikiTiki Posted posted on Tue, Jan 17, 2006 5:36 PM I collect SHELLS! Since I was 8 years old and my dad got stationed in Okinawa! Funny you should ask, because yesterday I found one of the greatest ever, a Sunrise Shell. And trust me you would have thought I was an 8 year old the way I was jumping up and down on the beach! I also collect Royal Copley ceramics, formerly made in my parents hometown and oriental stuff. Anyone who visits and manages to come to my house may well decide I collect too much! I would love to see some photos of peoples cool collections!
FZ Feelin Zombified Tiki Socialite The Exotic Shores of Lake St. Clair Joined: Jul 15, 2003 Posts: 1340	FZ Feelin Zombified Posted posted on Tue, Jan 17, 2006 6:11 PM among other things... original Otis Lithograph magic posters. problem is, the one I have pictured above is an 8-sheet... making it about 9 feet tall. never mind the fact that restoration, mounting and framing will cost a ton, so will a new house with 10ft ceilings! sadly, more than 1/2 of my art is in some sort of storage because of no wall space or no cash to frame it. -Z [ Edited by: Feelin' Zombified 2006-01-17 18:13 ]

It helps that I like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers which have all three: It makes for an interesting collection when it is together, but somehow it works I also keep a sharp eye out for ashtrays when I hit the Thrifts but I use those, so I don't know if that counts as collecting.

T TikiTacky Member Joined: Nov 23, 2010 Posts: 1319	T TikiTacky Posted posted on Sun, May 25, 2014 5:54 PM I have more ukuleles than I need. Or should. I don't really collect them, I just ended up with them. The first was a Christmas present from my wife after we got married in Hawaii. A pretty koa laminate concert. The second is a vintage Kamaka that a friend had rotting in a storage unit because he didn't know or care about what it was. I traded him something for it. The third is a Kala USA model which I designed for a contest so they sent me a few. I gave most away to friends. The fourth is a Kanile'a one-of-a-kind soprano Soundmonster with a KU headstock, which I traded a different uke for (that I traded a Gibson guitar for, and which I had traded a cheapo Chinese bass for!) The fifth is another Kala uke, this time a Steampunk one that was also a freebie as a winning design in the same contest. Making this list, I just realized I have five ukuleles and I haven't paid for any of them! :D
