I don't necessariliy mean "collecting them all" in the literal sense of collecting all the figurines in a set, although it could refer to physical objects like that. For me the "collect them all" mentality could be wanting to read all of the books by a certain author I like, listen to all of the albums by a certain musician, or wanting to watch all episodes of a TV series I like. It could expand to other things too. One time I had the goal to try out every restaurant in town and then compare them to each other.
Comparing and contrasting is another thing I like doing. I work as a librarian and I like to visit different libraries in different library systems just to compare the different ways they do things and arrange materials.
Is this an Si ego thing when you find something that interests you to want to explore it deeply in all its complexity? Right now I'm obsessed with the enneagram and I've jokingly but also seriously said to myself, I'm going to try to read all the books ever written about it. That's alot of books, so it might not be realistic so for now I'm focusing on the more pivotal works but I think you can see where I'm going with this.
