I was reorganizing my place this weekend, when I realized something...
I have exactly 322 Trek and trek-related volumes of print, from the Bantam & Pocket Books novels to the "reference books" to "non-fiction" books like "Is Data Human?" and "Make it so: Leadership lessond from the Next Generation" to parodies like "Star Wreck: The Generation Gap." to fan-works like Jackill's guides and "History of the Vessel Enterprise."
Does this qualify me as an Archgeek yet?

I have the entire run of TOS, the Movies I-VIII, Most of the Final Chapter on home video, and scattered other shows I really liked. I have the Fan-created MST3K-ized ST:V. I have two blooper reels, and have watched (although I no longer possess it) Sex Trek: The Next Penetration.
I have at least one of every AMT/Ertl starship model yet produced, as well as four self-created kitbashed ships.
I have Star Trek kids' coloring books, and a Trek sleeping bag (in storage, never used).
And I haven't even BEGUN talking about my non-Trek collections...

Okay, I guess that I have to confess my shame now...
I have 321 Star Trek novels (TNG, DS9, Voyager, Captain's Chair collection, Dominion War collection), 2 technical manuals, three versions of the ST: Encyclopedia, all the ST: Magazine editions, the ST: TNG Enterprise-D blueprints, all the Star Trek movies on tape, the original Star Trek pilot tape, Star Ship Creator software, and ST: Borg game.
I also have 77 Federation starship models ranging from various scales and cannon and non-cannon ships.

Michael T: I see that you have the Starship Creator software. Is it any good or is it just more fuel for those darned kitbashers? I hear that it has some sort of 3-D rotation feature.
Here's my hoard: ("officially sanctioned" stuff) I have the first two editions of the Encyclopedia, both chronologies, TOS Sketchbook and movie Sketchbook, the TNG compendium, making of DS9, making of star trek, Where no one has gone before, Art of Star Trek, Starfleet technical manual, Star Trek spaceflight chronology, Star Trek Concordance, TNG tech manual, DS9 tech manual, Ent D blueprints, Ent-null blueprints, TNG continuing mission, Interactive TNG tech manual, Interactive Encyclopedia, Inside Star Trek, some bios of Roddenberry and Kirk, and I just bought the Star Trek Maps at ebay! Too many damn model kits and micromachines to count. Tapes of all the movies (except V) and "The Trouble with Tribbles"
I don't have any novels. (I've never read any. Am I missing anything?)
"Unofficial stuff": Starfleet Dynamics, Starship Prototype, Ships of the Star Fleet (1 and 2); blueprints for EntA, Oberth, Robot freighter, Huron, Miranda Perimeter action ships, and Excelsior; all the Nitpicker books, Lots of Cinefantastique, Cinefex, and American Cinematographer, Logbook, etc., etc., etc.
Obviously, some people will buy almost anything. (Of course, I am immune to the effects of....)

Michael_T: Are all of the 77 starships model kits or do you also count Micromachines?
