I'm trying very hard to stay out of Hollow World, Spelljammer, Planescape, FR, and almost all of the other flavored product (except Greyhawk, call me a sucker).

Dragonlance seems to be a popular stay away from, but I have nostalgia from the books and then reading the modules.

Amazing Engine - I think this is mostly due to the fact that I was souring on RPGs when they started to come out.

2nd Edition - Got the core books, might get the rest of the hardbacks, other than that, meh.

Dragon Magazine. I have alot of fond memories (subscription from issues 110ish to 200) but cant seem to find the willpower to start a run. I stopping myself at 1 - 10.

Anything stamped WOTC. Except 3.5 and 4.0 core, but only have those for ... no reason whatsoever. I think I've given WOTC enough money. M:tG anyone?

No miniatures either. Unless its Battletech in which case I have way too damn many.

Uh, yeah, I forgot to mention that I've repeatedly been sucked back into the "crack on cardboard" that is known as Magic: The Gathering. I'm actually moving away from my fellow addicts in a couple months, though, and am leaving my killer decks (dude!) behind with them. I guess my Mad Skilz will just have to atrophy.

She was only trying to save you from the heartbreak of the clunky rules for psionics.

Miniatures is something I'm not interested in.

I've dabbled in collecting the L5R cardgame, to supplement the L5R rpg collection but I gave that up. If I never intend to play the cardgame anyway, that's just nuts.

Other than that I just try to not add more new stuff to collect but I fail too often unfortunately.

TSR through early second ed. is what I collect.
I also dabble in a bunch of other pre-85 rpgs and board games from SPI.
I also grab anything Task Force Games.

And I could've bought these damn modules off the 1$ rack!!!

I don't collect most of the non-Greyhawk settings materials, most post-1e materials, or most ephemera. I do collect non-TSR D&D, non-D&D, and minis though, too.
