I recently purchased an "Aliens" pewter chess set... and I don't play much chess. But it was really cool and I had to have it.

I still feel guilty about the purchase and I want to know I'm not the only one who buys (expensive) stuff they don't need.



Isn't that the coolest thing?

I'm not going to lie to myself and say it's an investment because I can't imagine selling it ... even if it's for a profit.

I also have a limited edition Anduril sword (from Lord of the Rings: Return of the King) - It is numbered, gold plated fittings and a certificate signed by the designer. That item was released prior to the last film. I purchased it before the demand shot up for less than $200 ... Now, on eBay, if you can find it, you'd expect to pay at least $800+
But I'd never sell it.

I want to know what useless "collectibles" you might have, too.
