What expensive hobby would you like to have, if you had the cash?

**Bingbongbrothers** · 2012-11-22, 10:54 PM

I already have an expensive hobby, photography, but I would love to travel around the world and shoot some great landscapes, Alasca, Greenland etc

I would love to be able to paintball, on a regular basis... I simply don't have the cash! Especially due to my trigger-happy sense of combat!

warhammer 40k.... the $120 STARTER kit makes me shudder at the cost of trying to actually have an army in that.

Making short films.

Have diamond figurines of characters I like.

Actually, I would collect weapons, airplanes, tanks, warships, uniforms, and have a tiny museum for myself.

Paintballing or Skydiving...or Skydiving while paintballing any of the three work!

But if I had billions of cash then I would make computers non stop and just give them away to people randomly.

Same here!

I think it'd be fun to destroy abandoned buildings. I read somewhere that people who do demolition work are some of the happiest. I think it'd be fun to just smash stuff up every now and then without causing anyone harm.

Building giant testla coils and using them to terrorize the population.

**Thelxi** · 2012-11-23, 02:02 PM

If I could have a lot of free time and money I would travel the planet, rent nice cars and stay in good hotels!

**dragothica** · 2012-11-23, 02:05 PM

Legos, lots of them.

Every time I watch movies like Batman (Dark Knight/Rises) I imagine how a Batmobile made out of Legos would work. Like how the Bat "Bike" would eject from the Batmobile etc. I wonder have they even made any Batman Legos (basically of Technic series and from Dark Knight Trilogy movies), I suppose those would be quite famous. I've also for quite some time wanted to have a motorized Lego Technic model, some truck or so. But I really can't afford these kind of toys, like 250€ or so for one set I would guess..

mostly weaponry...

having a good chunk of land i could make a 1.5-2mile firing range free to the public! having it run by a local gun range would make it easy for me and free for everyone els!

wonder if i can legally own some long range rifles tho... don't think id be able to seeing you could kill someone at over 1 mile range

Going to have to say getting several tanks and riding them around (yeah, they would have to have the cannon disarmed, but still, love the idea of rolling around in one)

**Lefrog** · 2012-11-23, 02:51 PM

Learning for me.

I've always wanted to learn how to do be a really good chef/pastry chef.

I would love to learn more about cultures, especially learning a ton of different languages. I know 3 languages right now but I really wish I could take 6 months off and go live in Japan and learn the culture and language, same with China and Germany.

I would love to learn how to play the violin or the piano, and draw and create art.

All of these things are perfectly doable on my budget now (minus the actual living abroad part), but if you don't have enough time to dedicate to learning and practice you will never be good at it. It would require me to stop working so much to truly get in all the learning I want to.

Make a secret lair become a batman-esque super hero and rob from the rich and give to the poor!

**critterkiller** · 2012-11-23, 03:39 PM

Something like muthbusters, blow things to bits, for science!

Not sure what country you live in but I would say you can. You can get a license for rifles that fires .50 BMG(12,7x99), .338 Lapua etc here at least. They might make a fuss about certain rifles it due to it's military origins, but if thats the case one can use different ammo, we had no problems getting a license for our Sako TRG though, but if they do you can always use hunting ammo, there is a real difference between civ and military ammunition, the Environmental Protection Agency allows it here though either way, so if you live in a country with moderate weapon laws I'd say it's fine.

They don't come cheap though, the TRG was $7150 and the scope we got on it(a hensoldt) was pretty expensive as well.
