Collections

[Beef Boss]

What do you guys enjoy collecting? For instance I collect knives and watches mainly. My newest watch is a sturhling delphi skeleton watch. And a brous blades bionic 2.0

[WowMuchName]

Money XD, but I would like to collect more knifes, and smart watches, like, I really really like smart watches, and guns.

Cubes.

Well, twisty puzzles, only called cubes by convention. Most of them are cubic, anyway...

I currently have ~30.

 

I also collect knives, but I've been rather stagnant there because knives are expensive. An affordable mid-tech knife is ~$300, and a prohibitively expensive top-of-the-line speedcube is $40.

So... Yeah.

I have a "twisty" puzzle I think. It's like some serpent thang that you have to put back into a cube @Dash Lambda

Oh. That looks kind'a cool.

I don't have any wooden puzzles, so far it's mostly speedcubes, but I also have things like a ghost cube, X-Cube, 4x3x3, etc.

I can't even solve rubix cubes. So my serpent cube just lays here as a serpent lol.

I was disappointed to not see the Fenix PD35 in that list...

God I love that flashlight.

I'm very particular on the switches, and I hate side mounted switches. YMMV.

The PD35 Tac has full control through the tail switch, though I don't have that model.

You still switch from "outdoor mode" to "Tactical mode" with the side switch. Plus I'm beginning to prefer single output lights over multimode lights, hense all of my Surefires are the "Tactical" models. 

 

That said, I know a lot of people who really like their PD35s.

Same  What's your favourite out of your collection? Mine would be Square-1 or Skewb c: I'm waiting on a friend to give me his 5x5s (he doesn't like them) so I can turn them into a 2x5x5 and a 1x5x5 c: 

 

Oh and graphics cards. Currently have a 560 Ti, 8800 GTX, HD 4870 (in brother's rig now), GT 730 and an R9 290 awaiting a BIOS flash.

[Thunderpup]

Guns, i have a soft spot for old historic guns. 

Retro Video games and systems.  I mainly collect to play the games i liked as a kid plus ones i never got a chance too.

Figurines.  Started with Amiibos but not exclusive to them.  If it's a character i like i want it in my collection. 

Tools- Always on the look out for a new tool and usually justify the purchase somehow, even if i never end up using it lol.

Hmm...

The ones I solve most are my cubic ones, I really like the YuXin Red 6x6 and the Gans Air 3x3. I think my Ghost cube looks the coolest, my Sudoku cube is the hardest, I like the SQ-1 but I don't solve it that much...

I'm not sure I have a favorite XP

 

You're gonna make a 1x5x5? Are you going to use magnets?

Magnets aren't needed, just each little... cube piece, won't exactly look cubic.

Oh, I was thinking proportional XP

That's really cool, production puzzles are fun but mods are so much more interesting~

You can't keep it in tactical mode? Huh...

Oh well, different strokes for different folks.

 

Have you ever seen the Hexbright Flex? It's technically multimode, but it has an Arduino so you can program it to do whatever you want. And it's built like a tank.

Or rather it was, they discontinued it...
