Japan breeds collecting and hobbying. There are entire stores, conventions and magazines dedicated to everything collectable. Look how JR puts different shinkansen on different lines. They start 'em young with Stamp Rallies all around (getting a free stamp book, and you have to travel from place to place to get stamps and them redeem for a prize). Go to practically anyone's house and ask to see their manga... invariably there will be a series 20+ volumes long they have collected. Whether it is trains, toys, comics, motorcycles... you name it, you can collect it in Japan.
