Besides ponies, of course! :lol:
I got lost on Amazon looking at all the awesome Playmobil sets they have. I had the 1980s zoo set and loved it so much. Now they have a huge collection of both zoo stuff and farm stuff. I'd definitely collect both of those. I'd need to dedicate a whole room to them.
I'd also expand on my bones/fossils/gemstones collection.
Cats. I'd collect cats.
Friesian horse stuff! I have a small collection now. Also tigers.
Video games.
Fish! I've always wanted to have a huge fish tank with oscars. I'd also have saltwater tanks.
Craft and art supplies. I do this now and I have far too much :lol:
Classic cars!
More animals like mini goats and chickens and attack geese.

I would have more dogs. But i would probably need additional help. my husband thinks 2 is the perfect number. we have 3 :) but he might leave if he has 4+ dogs following him around all day. i would have cats too but he's super allergic. like he will die if he's around cats for too long allergic. so cats aren't an option :(
More My Little Ponies for sure. I would try to collect all ponies and all gens. Plus more Care Bears, LPS, and other toys from the 80s and 90s. maybe even some older ones just for fun :)
Shoes, handbags and vintage clothing. More nail polishes and makeup.
Old school media: I love books. I would love to have a dedicated library full of books with a couple of comfy chairs where i would hang out with my doggies and read. I have a good number of books now and a little reading area next to the guest bathroom. no comfortable chair though. just a little side chair.
I'm so sick of streaming services and not having any playable media if the internet is down. I want to get back into having physical DVDs and music. my husband has a small record collection but we never had a record player. i would like to get one and add some records of stuff I like. my parents had a huge collection of records but sadly they were in the bottom cabinets when our house flooded :( i used to play them when they weren't home and there's something about the sound of a record that Spotify doesn't provide. I don't have a DVD player right now either. i sold my cd and DVD collections on eBay long ago. the state of the TV and movie industry in the US is beyond depressing. I would also love to have original gaming systems. definitely one of each Nintendo console and a bunch of games.
i would also love to collect mid century modern furniture too. most of the "real" stuff is way out of my price range and expensive furniture may not be compatible with having lots of dogs. I would also like to collect more pretty glassware and dishes.
-
Everything & anything!!! But especially more of the toys I grew up with, like a few Sindys & the big Sindy House, or some Flower Fairies & their accessories...
-
If I had unlimited funds, I would build a MASSIVE facility for drug rehab and supervised living. Then I would start supporting animal sanctuaries. Then I would start a laboratory for cellular agriculture.
-
Hmm, maybe MLP video tapes. Just get a big collection of all the releases of the first two specials, at least. to compare the different versions :p and there's this anime drama CD that I would *love* to add to my collection, but it was only sold with this like $200+ Blu-Ray set and I can't justify it (I don't even HAVE a Blu-Ray player).
That's all that really comes to mind. Apart from "more of what I already collect", I suppose x)

Yes. These are good things too. I would start a cat hospice and give to sanctuaries as well. I would also buy up wild land so it doesn't get developed.
I have an idea for a video game I would l start developing too.

More Lion King and dragon stuff.

Books! I'd love a victorian library with ceiling high shelves and ladders to get to them. And a cosy reading corner by a roaring fire. Aaaand a reading corner by a window looking out to a lovley garden during the summer.
I would also like a room to display my shoes.

I majorly got into reading this year, so this sounds dreamy!! I’m trying not to start another collection (no space for it!), so I mainly use the library, but somehow books are weaseling their way into my life. This would be awesooome.
But mostly, I’d like a studio and supplies for silversmithing. :lovey:

I'd definitely collect Little Ponies - I'd genuinely love to have at least the majority of the G1 line because that seemed like the most imaginative line, and I have a lot of appreciation for it, but I'd also collect the G3s (because they're beautiful, IMO and, as I have said, my favorite generation) and the G2s.
This may sound silly, but I'd actually like to be able to collect DVDs of cartoons and animated movies, partly because I'm doing an Animation Review Show on YouTube, and I'd just love to have easy access to whatever I want to review... and if it's something I give a negative review to, I don't have to feel awkward about how I've now admitted that I bought something I don't like, because money isn't an issue in this scenario! That being said, I'd also like to have all the cartoons and animated movies that I do like as a collection, both for my review show, and also because... well then I'd have them, and could watch them whenever I felt like it (there's also something nostalgic for me about having a physical DVD, cover and all, of a cartoon/animated movie that I love or at least like - I'd even love DVDs of cartoons/animated movies that are purely streaming in real life.)
Thinking of it, I'd also like to collect videogames and the appropriate consoles - again partly due to YouTube as I also do Let's Plays, so it would be good to just be able to go "Oh, I'll do some episodes of of that game today!" but also so I can just have those games to play whenever I felt like doing so.

I have three bookshelves and I would love to have space for more. As of now, I buy books and the ones I know I'm not gonna read again I give away. My husband got me a reading tablet so I can lend a book a week from the online library, but I read so fast that it's not enough. I easily read two or three books a week.. and i love the smell of new books! Thats something a tablet can't contribute to, lol.

I would have such a big farm with so many goats.
Realistically though probably Legos, my girlfriend loves them and it's been fun putting them together. Those bigger sets though are a bit pricey for me. At least realistically with my other collections, >_< it wouldn't work.
-
Wow, if nothing stood in my way I'd make sure everyone had a place to live and all basic needs met.
As for collectables, I think it would be lots of vintage toys including My Little Pony. Sylvanian families with all their playsets would be a dream. I'd invite everyone to come play.
-
Views! Or rather... I'd love to invest in a series of tiny cabins with wonderful views around the world. And then take turns living in them. I just want to sit there and feel the calm and have my own space wherever I go. It does not have to be big at all, just like one room and cozy.
-
Carousel horses! I've always loved pretty carousel horses so if space and money wasn't an issue I would love to have a big collection.
I also visited "House on the rock" in Wisconsin about a month ago and that only further triggered my want for this, haha! :frolic:
-
I would have a library! I already collect old childrens books (not all, but from some publishers and authors). I also love art, and would get all the artwork that really sang to me.
Lamps. Vintage and postmodern. I love lamps. Also Scandinavian design lamps.
And last, but not least. A big garden, with lots of places to sit, hide or just breathe. I love gardening, and would love an old-style, secret garden inspired place with all the plants and trees I would like! It had to be big, because I would love a collection of trees and big, flowering bushes!

I've since thought of another thing I'd collect, but there's kind of an explanation attached to it, so please bear with me...
I don't know if it's still going, but in the UK there is/was an unofficial magazine for PlayStation called "PLAY", which I first bought when it was, like, Issue 29 or something, because I was interested in the game on the cover, then I got Issue 31 at least for the same reason, and kept going until I stopped, but I also managed to find Issue 4 at some point. I have long since realized that my favorite era is where I officially started to Issue 50, plus the two earlier examples.
So, what I'd like to collect, is every Issue of PLAY from Issue 1 to Issue 50, so I can have not only more perfect copies of what I already have as a bonus (the copies I have are showing wear and tear, and some pages have fallen out), but more importantly all the Issues from that era that I missed out on. I'd been interested in getting that full era in the past, around 2008 or so when I re-read that era, and looked at the retrospective in Issue 50 which gave a reminder of what happened in each issue up to that point, and I'm starting to think of it again, since I recently moved my actual collection to my own home (and this is before I've even re-read them this time.)
So yeah, I'd like to collect perfect copies of that particular era of PLAY.

^ You reminded me of something I'd collect. The Futurama comics. I've looked at them many times before, and it's not like they are terribly expensive (even ones that are signed by the cast), but I've never gotten any. Futurama is my favorite TV show and I'd love to fill the gaps with the crews adventures in the comic world.

The original Polly Pocket toys for sure. I grew up a bit with the Mattel reboot where the dolls were a bit larger and had those rubber clothes, but now as an adult toy collector, the original compact style toys really appeal to me even though I never really knew about them as a kid. I don't own any and would probably buy one if I found one cheap in person, but if I could justify it, I would absolutely collect them.
Similarly, Sylvanian Families is another toyline I don't own any of but I just sort of admire from afar. They're really cute and I love flocked toys, and all the cute little accessories.....
I do collect dolls, but I'd probably collect some more expensive dolls if I had the money for it.
I enjoy gaming so I do buy video games, but I'd maybe be more serious about collecting them and having a better setup for using them if I had the space/money. Same with music, I buy physical music (CD and to a lesser extent, vinyl) but don't really have the space for an actual good setup for listening to them.

Crystals.
I have a modest collection of pieces no larger than a hand, but there are some giant almost human-sized crystals out there :)
That, an artisan woodwork furniture in this style.

If money and space weren't an issue? Definitely more woodwind instruments. I'd have historical replicas going all of the way back to the Ancient Greek aulos.
Also a collection of ancient Greek replica pottery. I love the aesthetic.

Carousel horses! I've always loved pretty carousel horses so if space and money wasn't an issue I would love to have a big collection.
I came to this thread to say the same thing! I love carousel horses and it would be a dream to own even one, let alone a whole collection! One day I hope to have a room just for my MLP and model horse collections, and I'd like to have one carousel horse as kind of the centerpiece of the room. But if space and money were unlimited, I would have a whole herd of them!

Before I mention my next example, I'd like to point out that this looks beautiful, IMO - it looks like it could be from a movie! :happy:
Any way, here's a weird thing I'd a collect, and yes there's another sort of explanation; Eyeshadow Palettes.
The reason it's weird and requires an explanation is that I have no idea of how to apply make up, and have no interest in doing so, but I am fascinated by the different palettes people create based on themes, and how they come up with names for each shade based on the theme, so I'd kind of like to have an example of each palette out there, so I can just casually look at them physically at any time, and check what the shade names are when I felt like it, because that is the part that interests me, and it's nice to have them physically, I guess, even though they'd be purely display and never actually used... strange I know.
-
MJNSEIFER, I get that about the eyeshadow pallettes. I don't really wear makeup much anymore since i work from home. TBH i didn't wear it much when i worked in the office. but i still love buying it and looking at it. i'm a sucker for cute, novelty packaging.
-
calico critters I would also have a lot more breyer horses

For years I've entertained wistful fantasies about collecting vintage carousel horses. I'd love to rescue, restore & display them. I have no idea how easy they would be to get hold of; I've only ever come across one before in the window of an antique shop. It was agonizing to drag myself away from. :lol:
I dread to think how much space & money I'd need for something like this. The international shipping costs would no doubt be eye-watering! I just love the idea of having a room/garage/warehouse full of galloping horses in all different colours & designs.
I've always adored rocking horses too; I'd have to add them to the list. At least they'd be slightly easier to collect! :happy:
