Gameswag the A.D.D. of collecting..

[Gameswag]

Hey guys

I'm Joe and as the title suggests, I am somewhat of an eclectic collector. Most collector sites I frequent tend to have members with a clear cut collecting focus. Me...not so much. I like it all. If it is a franchise I like, I'll collect whatever...if it is a particular kind of collectible...I'll collect across different franchises. In looking through what I own, I think my favorite kind of collectibles are coins or medals and if I had to pick a franchise I have a lot of stuff for, I would say it is Bioshock or Fallout. Although...my collections of those franchises pale in comparison to some of the photos I have seen on here. I'm also just starting to get into launch kits and press kits. Some of the coolest stuff for a game comes from those.

Anyway. :) There is tons and TONS. I catalogue it all, snap photos of it as I get it in and upload it to a site (http://www.gameswagonline.com/swag-database.html) I run. It's good to find a place where there are so many people who share that love of rare, cool stuff.

Hi,

I've been to your site many times before. Welcome dude.

Your pics aren't working.

[Gameswag]

Thanks for the assist! Hopefully they are working now. :)

[ZeeAussie]

Welcome fella, hope you enjoy your stay :beer:

I'm also just starting to get into launch kits and press kits. Some of the coolest stuff for a game comes from those.


You're too modest. I know you have almost every single gamestop launch kit.

I know for sure you have the ACII launch kit. That one is amazing.

[Gameswag]

Heh...well I keep modest because while I have quite a few GameStop launch kits I have almost no press kits. I would happily trade most of my launch kits and a few as of yet made first born children to get my hands on some of those press kits. ;).

Some pretty cool stuff, dont wory there are a few eclectics on here

[Gameswag]

Heh...that is good to hear. I've only been on here a few days and met quite a few people. I'm in good company. :)

Welcome to the forum, enjoy your stay

I took a look at your site - wow, that's a lot of stuff you've got! And some incredible things, too :-)

Hey just a quick one, out of all the faceplates you got which is your fav?

I think the Blue Dragon one I have looks pretty sweet, whats yours?

[NaughtyDogJames]

Love those kiosks. Welcome.

Oh man...that's a real tough one! I think if I still had an Xbox that I could put faceplates on, I would choose my Bioshock faceplate. Not only is it crazy rare, but it looks good on all the systems. My other faves are the Mass Effect, Soul Calibur and official Japanese faceplates. The Japanese ones aren't all that collectible, but my buddy actually got them for me when he was in Japan...so they got that squishy sentimental value. ;)

Thanks James! They aren't in the pictures yet, but with The current gen going bye bye, I just got a Ps3 kiosk, a Wii one and I am working on the Xbox...but haven't secured that one yet. :/
