How much 'hobby stuff' have you held onto?

[Dirty Duck]

Have an abundance of Pokemon cards around the place, but mainly newer ones because I started collecting again once I had a salary, whole collection is probably a decent value but worth way more if I got them graded which takes waaaaay too long (have a nice charizard in a glass display block that’s pushing £1000 if graded but feel paranoid about sending it away for about 9 months to have it graded)

Also have an array of various bionicle of varying quality as I got really into bionicle again like 10 years ago but that’s about it for valuable collectors stuff. GameCube games seem to hold value pretty well but don’t see myself parting with the Zelda master collection ever, the one that had 1, 2, Ocarina, Majora’s Mask and a 20 minute demo of Wind Waker before it fully came out. That and my copy of the greatest Kojima game ever made: Boktai. The gba game where you played as a vampire hunter with a solar gun you had to charge with the light sensor on the game pak. Playing in the sun definitely eroded my gameboy screen but man that game was cool

What Bionicle do you have? Love Bionicle. Such a weird and cool IP that Lego just refuse to do anything with for whatever reason. I still have a fair amount of assorted generations of them-none of the canisters though unfortunately. Bohrok probably remain the coolest of the lot honestly with how they could fold into a ball and I always loved the rubber Krana and how it added so much to the play being able to put it on the Toa. I do own one Lewa from the reboot but it just feels a lot less “cool” compared to the old sets.

A legit Boktai cartridge is a real grail item for me as someone who collected Game Boys in their teenage years. That and Ghost Babel.
