Probably my comic books I would say. That or my boiling tube of oxadised Tollens Reagent, which forms a silver mirror at the bottom. It's pretty cool and really shiny.

I am envious. My parents would not buy them for me when I was younger. I have the Episode I ones because at that point, I had some sort of income. My one treasure of that collection is the Yoda - it was recalled because it was missing the words "Episode I" from the packaging. I didn't return it
I've considered boxing them away for another 10-20 years and then selling them as a collection for a tidy sum, but I'm not sure I could part with them.

Uhhh, where to begin?
I know I have a box or two of Power Rangers toys from when I was younger (my mom insists they'll be worth something which is why she's keeping them, although none of them are in their packaging and most are missing pieces), a box full of Pokemon stuff (again from my younger days, although some of those are in their original packaging). Also, a fourth box full of random Transformers toys (see above).
As for other things, I have three posters, a binary blanket, "The Cult of iPod" book, and a bunch of plush microbes from ThinkGeek.

I don't really think anything Pokémon is geeky either. It was a trend (though obviously some still play it, primarily, it was), and everyone played it. Everyone used to collect the cards. Everyone would play the Gameboy games. It was certainly the norm, if anything, not playing them would single you out, more so.

It was a huge trend, now it's geeky.

Well, not really, because basically everyone has the cards stashed away somewhere, hehe. At least, in my opinion, anyway.

Along with the usual Trek action figures, movies, DVDs and models, I have Star Trek figural mugs. The faces of Kirk, Spock, Neelix, Geordi, and Data all on separate ceramic cups. 
Ive got some Star Trek blueprints of the Enterprise, and some other ships and shuttles too. Star Trek is pretty much the extent of my geekiness though.
I have a stuffed Pikachu I've had for 8 years also, but I never seriously liked Pokemon, geeky or not. I jumped on the bandwagon in 7th grade and only liked Pikachu. Real Pokemon fans probably wanted to smack me.

If people aren't counting Pokemon as geekery (which it isn't unless you're talking being an otaku in general) then being a Trekkie (or the misspelling Trekker) is no longer geeky!
I have the Data mug and Enterprise-D blueprint too. Trekkies forever!

Whatever gives you that impression?
I mean, by that logic me knowing Transformers so well will give me a massive advantage come July, but I doubt it will.
