collection ?

I am not new to the website, so I was hoping for some help. I'm trying to start a JB collection, but I don't know where to start. I currently have a few books, 2 posters(CR & QOS), an Airsoft P99, sand from Nassau, and a 007 tattoo. Any ideas on what I should start looking for. I also have a freshwater fish tank and am wondering what type of fish a JB fan would stock it with.

    As regards collecting, the best advice anyone could ever give you would be to collect the things that you like, not what you think you should have.

    Being a completist leads to madness. For arguments sake, if you love Thunderball, collect Thunderball items, if you have a passion for the Spy Who loved me Lotus, collect models and memorabilia connected to that.

    As for the fish tank, it's gotta be Pirahnas :)
    the fighting fish from FRWL at a push, but the Piranha is a definate movie Bond fish, unless of course you have room for Sharks :)

    Awhile back, I enlarged the artwork of the underwater fight from THUNDERBALL and used it as a background for my fishtank.

    Obviously, my fish were on the side of the good guys as they’re “dressed” in orange.

    Ditto what L007K OUT said. Collect what you like, that way you can't go wrong. I like many different areas, so I collect in many different areas. To be a completist you have to choose a very narrow focus in the Bond realm. Most of all have fun!

    So, what sharp little eyes you've got...wait till you get to my teeth.
