Just thought I should pump that one out there to get opinions on this. So, what is your opinion of what makes a collector have a collector status?

I don't have a large collection, 6 at the moment.
I started with Jets, as I love the clean lines.
My interest in lava comes from a retro taste I have in decor, and the fact that I have always found them very lovely to look at.
Being a collector I think means you are not happy with just one, you are always looking for the next one, your eye caught by a different colour combination/shape etc.
Oh yeah, and when you see a lovely one, you are compelled to buy!
I only collect Mathmos as I like that they are made in the UK, and mostly are classic shapes which look quite classy.
I don't think you need a lot to be a collector, but I certainly wouldn't put myself up there with some of you guys on this site! you're total lava heads lol :)

A collector is someone who is always seeking, locating, acquiring, organizing, cataloging, displaying, storing, and maintaining a treasured item.

So I suppose anyone can be considered a collector. :P
