My LittleBig introduction

[Earase]

Hi everyone,

I've been a member for a couple of years now, but mostly to buy things in the marketplace. I never really introduced myself and I guess it's about time to do so.

I'm from the Netherlands and I'm collecting all sorts of things, ranging from games, to steelbooks, to CE/LE's, press kits and other Playstation-related merchandise but I especially have a soft spot for the LittleBigPlanet series. I've been collecting LBP-related things for a few years now and I'm really pleased with my humble collection.

Welcome :)

Nice collection, what would you say is your favourite item?

Welcome to the forum....4 years late lol

[Earase]

Thanks for welcoming me! I've just updated the first post with some pictures of my collection. Still not everything, but it's a start :)

My favorite item? That's very hard to say. The first LBP-item that I bought (apart from the first game) is the Sackboy controller holder (haven't photographed that one yet). I still really like that one since it's so cute. If I had to pick a favorite thing from my entire game-collection, I would pick the entire LBP-collection though ;p

[Spect3r]

Wow, impressive LBP collection!

[g6t9ed]

Love the collection! Looks amazing. It's always great to see specific collectors - nice way to see what obscure items are made/found. Welcome!

Hehehehe...I love that answer "it's all my favourite" I'm with you on that philosophy :rotf:

OK what is the 'holy grail' for you as a LBP collector? Do you already have it? if not is it an item that could be obtained easily (given infinite money) or is it extremely rare?

For example my holy grail ATM is the Mass Effect 2 Cerberus box:

I've never seen one for sale and there is precious little info about the box except it was maybe some kind of prize for an online competition...It could be a one of a kind but who knows?

There's a few really really rare holy grail items out there that I don't have. Media Molecule auctioned off 4 pieces of framed concept art with a special cover version of LBP2 after the earthquakes in Japan happened. Those are very unique and rare since only 4 exist. I've never seen any of those back up for sale again and they all were sold for $700 - 1100 dollar.
There's also a one-off pair of Vans-shoes with a custom LBP-design that were auctioned for charity.
I'd say those are the real holy grails, I also think those are pretty much impossible to obtain for me.

As far as my collection goes. I'd say the beanbag is really unique and rare. I have no idea where that one originates from, but I've also seen a Killzone 3 variant on an auction once, so I think they were made for a trading show or some Playstation-event. I have no idea how many were made, this is the only one I've ever seen.
I also think the versions of LittleBigPlanet with the extra sleeve are really rare. I bought them fairly close to each other and have never seen either of them for sale again. I also have no idea where they come from. The clown on one of them is the logo of the dutch toystore "Bart Smit" so I guess they came from there, but I also bought my original copy in that store around launch and none of the games had that extra sleeve. Maybe they were meant for employees only or so?

Sweet merch! I'm liking the press kits.

I'll keep half an eye out for rare stuff for you.

Did they never make any Funko pop Vinyl figures of Sackboy? Seem like it would be a good match.

Amazing LBP collection !

Haven't updated this thread in months, really need to do that. I've been collecting quite some steelbooks and a couple of pretty CE's like Ni No Kuni 2 Kings edition and the Yakuza 6 CE. But that doesn't matter right now, because today is all about this beauty:

I'm over the moon with this one. I wanted the 20th Anniversary one so bad, but missed out on that one, so I preordered this as soon as my local gamestore opened his doors the day after the 500 Million version got announced. Turns out my local gamestore only got 1 console, so I'm fucking happy that I'm the one who owns it now.

Small update, been buying a lot of steelbooks lately. These are some of them:
