Another year over, time to look back at what 2012 brought to your collection!

I've recorded a video of the 5 items I got in 2012 that I consider the best additions to my collection

I'm curious to see what your top 5 is and why you choose those 5 (or 3, or 10, or 100 whatever you prefer ^^)

Nice stuff you guys! Awesome to see some of you have your own Youtube Channels. Always cooler to watch videos compared to pics ad words..

Anyway here's my Top 5 of 2012, it's actually focused on collectibles rather than whole CEs or games.
In no Particular Order..

1. Max Payne 3 Statue
2. Darksiders Death Mask
3. Assassin's Creed 3 Connor Figures (Both, couldn't choose one over the other)
4. Mortal Kombat 1:2 Scorpion Bust
5. Connor's Tomahawk Replica (Press Version)

Of course, to see why I chose these 5 and the stories behind them, you gotta read the full article on my blog (http://jveronworld.blogspot.sg/2013/01/my-top-5-collectibles-of-2012.html), just released a while ago. Too much and too long to paste it here.

I'm guessing a couple of those were bought in 2011 maybe?

Between you, mortal, and a couple of others my list looks like childs play :rotf:

1. Assassin's Creed II Spanish Stickerbook
2. Uncharted 2 Promo Gamestop Journal
3. Infamous Press Kit
4. Assassin's Creed II Master Edition
5. Resident Evil 5 Making of Steelbook (Silver Tricell Version)

And a pic for good measure

No they are all 2012 buys :) Nice choices yourself, good stuff

SwiftDeath
01-06-2013, 01:09 AM
Ah interesting

It is also worth mentioning that your uncharted 2 folio is like number 20 or something right? which is awesome :)

If they were all bought in 2012 then why is it cheating to list 2,3, & 5?

I take it I missed something?

mosavon
01-06-2013, 01:22 AM
Wow good memory, yeah i have 20

2, 3 and 5 are two items rolled into one :)

SwiftDeath
01-06-2013, 01:28 AM
lol that never even crossed my mind

Meh it's fine especially the gta stuff as they're promo items

If you think yours looks like childs play then conpare it to mine (it has a regular promo in it albeit a rare one). I want that U2 Journal.

Oh come on you have the Uncharted PK :pooryou:

Sry I don't really mean too much by this emoticon :pooryou: but first chance I got to use it :P

Anyways that PK pretty much trumps all my items combined :suicide:

lol

And besides your other items are still very cool, maybe not bring down the house expensive but they certainly have more character to them then a lot of items people get :)

Yes I'm insinuating that video game collectibles can have character. Deal with it

Haha thanks but you're underestimating the value of your items. The PK has dropped alot in value recently(I blame Ingmar!!!) especially the dutch one. Still not cheap mind. :bananalama: I agree that they have character :D.

I got one Uncharted 1 press kit in 2012 as well, and I got it at a really nice price too. I believe I only paid $170 for it. It's definitely one piece I thought I'd never have as well. I'd been trying for years to get one.

01-07-2013, 01:53 AM
Lol same but with all the ones that have popped up recently i just don't feel that excited for it anymore, as nice as it is though.

MortalMonday
01-07-2013, 02:38 AM
Same here. Maybe in a few years they'll become sought after again.

SwiftDeath
01-07-2013, 03:04 AM
lol you guys.......

I would love an Uncharted PK so if it ever becomes bothersome to store something so ordinary, I could give it a good home :P

jk but seriously you guys have great collections so one item being devalued a little shouldn't hurt you too much

i am starting to think imgarr (not sure if i spelt that right) was head of production for the uc pk

The annoying the thing is most of the ones have popped originally came from Ingmar and a few from people selling up. Very few have been sold outside of those conditions. Still really nice item just a shame it's halved in value.

mosavon
01-08-2013, 03:38 AM
Hmm not sure, once people see high prices for such items the pound signs start to pop and people follow, market gets saturated an a once crazy expensive piece starts to look a little less appealing.

I agree its still a very sexy press kit but yeah just doesn't feel the same lol. Ingmar what were you thinking man :think:

NaughtyDogJames
01-08-2013, 04:52 PM
Well one sold for ?160 yesterday on ebay (unlucky S Kull) although it was damaged. I think that was one of Ingmars. It's defiantly Ingmars fault (I'm lookig at you ;)) as it's just made it so much easier to get. Try getting a UDf promo. It's more difficult than the PK.
