Nice stuff. :drool:

[gurpswoo1]

Nice stuff.

Thanks - I've only been collecting for about 6 months , I have a long way to go before I catch up to you guys.

[lhurgoyf]

If you have only been collecting for 6 months, you sure have been busy.... nice stuff.

[gurpswoo1]

If you have only been collecting for 6 months, you sure have been busy.... nice stuff.

:rotf:Many thanks, I think like most people when they start collecting, they go bonkers at the beginning as they are super excited and slow down after a few months. I have already almost grinded to halt and will pickip again for the new years sales.

In fact a good tip, The 22-24th, most stores sell off the limited edition at 20-40% value. they go in a matter minutes so be on the look out.

Deals form last year were, that my friend got anyway: -

Fallout 3 collectors edition £9
Street fighter 4 edition - £5
Several steelbooks - £10 each.
There were loads they were clearing at gameplay.

Yup. It is exciting in the beginning. I've started my collection since 1999. Back then I used to think I can download ROMS & get freebie games, but time has change and I appreciate the effort the game developer trying their best and reward their fans.

[Mandingo]

Very impressive, gurps. I am not worthy.

Also, how did you come across so many Vesperia CE's?

[Skoolstah]

Nice! Wish I was as manic as you. ^^

[gurpswoo1]

Very impressive, gurps. I am not worthy.

I only have the one Limited edition of Tales, The other are standard versions factory sealed.

They are sold out here in the UK and already fetching £45+. I will sell them in 1-2 years times so I can get other limited edition.

Nice! Wish I was as manic as you. ^^

LOL - Thanks very much

[MrBubbles]

Wow that's a great collection. U also keep them sealed? :v:

[gurpswoo1]

Wow that's a great collection. U also keep them sealed?

Yeah all sealed, I constantly tell me friends, why do you buy games to play? -LOL safe to say I get a funny look. They will never understand. Don't get me wrong I play games. infact have a large unsealed game collection aswell but play them.

Once my friend try to flog me a sealed mario sunshine, it was scratched up badly, there was rips in the seal. Very poor and almost considered an unsealed copy.

He seems to think that as long as it has a 1mm sealing it's considered factory sealed and the vast majority of sellers on ebay think the same. these kind of sellers piss me off the most.

My collection of regular Xbox 360 is around 120, used to buy the LE for my collection and a normal copy to play with.
I also get alot of funny looks, most people don't understand why I buy a LE. Same with my life size figs, people like it but always underestimate their value.

[Venner]

Very Nice collection what bags do you use to keep them all in? And where do they come from as need to bag mine up. I see someone said about amps dvd wraps just wondered if any1 uses anything else.

[gurpswoo1]

Almost all of the wraps around have been use successfully. It really depends on what you want.

I was recommend these recently: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130507088455&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fshop.ebay.co.uk%3A80%2F%3F_from%3D R40%26_trksid%3Dp5197.m570.l1313%26_nkw%3D13050708 8455%26_sacat%3DSee-All-Categories%26_fvi%3D1&_rdc=1#ht_3778wt_1139

What you have to bear in mind in that PS3 games are not as tall as Xbox and standard DVD size steelbooks.

To get around this problem, I get wraps that have the reseal strip on the end of the flap and not on the back of wrap itself. This way you can overlap.

[Venner]

Thanks for the fast reply i will order a bunch of them ones you just linked when i finish work tonight.

Also just joint this site today so will have to get a few pics up when i get time

[gurpswoo1]

I am finally going to update this thread but instead of uploading 100s of images, I will just use my new site. It's not complete and I will updating a second batch soon but the site is finally working well enough to officially show.

[RyuShinEX]

too bad you didn't tell me. there was a shop selling it months ago. :(

[scottcross]

Hey gurps where did you get your squall and zidane statues?

[gurpswoo1]

Thanks Jazz

Scottcross Play.com had a sale on about a year ago, got them both for £7.

[scottcross]

Cheers butt will keep an eye out for them, I'm a big fan of zidane:)

[tonybsg]

Congrats for the collection and the new site mate :beer:

[gurpswoo1]

Thanks Tonybsg, hope to get the second batch up by Christmas.

[jugolicious]

Finally get to see Gee's collection =)

Can't wait to see some more pictures and how your site develops!

Amazing collection, but I already knew that ;) haha

[mosavon]

Nice, how long did putting the site together take? Very cool

[gurpswoo1]

Not a huge amount of time a week or so, Just used a site builder for most of it then abit of HTML for the rest.

[gurpswoo1]

Ignore this post. See below

http://gees-collection.yolasite.com/

[gurpswoo1]

Oops my mistake, I found the missing items.

In total there are now are 103 new items added, mostly in PS3 CE, Artbooks and PS3 games.

New games will be it will be either under the red lines for most sections, except for PS3-CE and PS3 games, which are on a page 2.

http://gees-collection.yolasite.com/

[TekTek]

Amazing collection this is. All looks immaculate

[gurpswoo1]

Thanks TekTek. Yeah 95% of my collection is sealed. I started collecting sealed from th start and never looked back.

[Likey]

Wow, so you never play your games that you buy or you get a second copy that you open to play?

[gurpswoo1]

No I never play any of the CE's I get, I do however get cheap used copies of games I like.

Which is few and far between, have loss interest in gaming solo. Only really like multilayer now.

[Likey]

Sounds good.

Is your intention to sell your collection at some point in your life or it forever be something you keep?

I'm new to the forum and have the odd collectors item here and there, part of me thinks it's of value but collecting things is a very expensive hobby lol.

[gurpswoo1]

I have no intention of selling my collection, of course this is dependant on my financial circumstances. Never really thought about 10 years or even 1 year down the line. I just take it as it comes.

You are right collecting is not at all cheap, even more so if you are a sealed collector.

I'm sure like me, other members will be very interested in your collection.

Any chance you will show us. :)

[Likey]

This forum looks like fun, yeah I'll take some photos over the weekend and post them when I can.

Probably not much to show or that it is not relevant, certainly not as impressive as all you lot here. :)

Only got onto this bandwagon after getting Final Fantasy XIII Collector's Edition boxset, went a bit crazy after that.

I do have all the issues of Nintendo Super Play magazine which I am a proud owner of, if that counts for something lol.

I don't I think have any special/collector editions of games that are still sealed, though. However, I'm very careful so when I open something that is sealed to take the item/game out, I still keep the plastic on so it's almost like it is unopened. At least that way it keeps the box in new condition.

[gurpswoo1]

Great, looking forward to it.

Yes a complete Mag collection is certainly something many of us will be very interested in.

There's not a huge amount of sealed collector's on this forum well there is but far more that open and play the game inside.

[Likey]

I'm sure there's someone out there who buys 2 copies of each, one to keep and one to open and enjoy.

I'll have to get the magazine collection from my parent's house, it's in the loft so hopefully it's still in good condition and the pages hasn't gone yellow. Scary thought.

Nowadays, plastic bags decompose too so I need to find some something else to wrap my stuff without it looking like an explosion happened. It turns into such a mess.

[fm4dj]

wow, great collection!!!
i really like the "dantes inferno divine edition". i was wondering where i can get one today.

If you me Plastic wraps, like the ones used for DVD sized games they can be purchased for very little from ebay.

LOL - Yeah mags in the loft with British weather is a scary though.

Thanks , The divine edition is a Spain Exclusive, they don't show up often on ebay, better chance getting it from a member in Spain.

Looks like I've been here for a whole month. I'm glad I started my thread, still need to go to my parent's and get some of my stuff from the loft and take photos. That's where my magazines are kept, not sure when I'll go next but hopefully in a few weeks.

You got any new stuff to post up?

Congrats on reaching 5000 posts by the way. :)

Can't wait for your new stuff, I don't know what it is about seeing updates to collection that makes me so excited.

Yeah I do have new items to add to my site but haven't really had a chance take photos of late. Recently things have gotten alot better hence the database updates I missed out on. Hopefully I have an official Batch 3 update soon.

Here are some new items that will be added in batch 3.

Thanks, yeah I only realised it because you pointed me to the achievement. Hard to believe I have made 5000 post which I never would have imagine I would ever get close to. :beach:

It a testament to the forum and it's members, the community here is one the best I have been part of and we have all been through the highs and lows of collecting together.

I hope it continues to the 10,000 post. :)

[MoonTar]

Thanks TekTek. Yeah 95% of my collection is sealed. I started collecting sealed from th start and never looked back.

Dang, the only games I have sealed is a Halo Reach Legendary Edition (didn't even take it out of the box it shipped it) and Zelda OOT 3D and the second one is only sealed because I haven't had time to play it. :(

Well originally I had planned to open them, but never really got around to playing them, and it stuck since. Plus they look so nice all shiny in their seal.

[l1nuz]

Very nice collection! :)

[threedaytorture]

Whats the story behind that Dragon Age Wooden Box Edition?

[LowlyAssassin]

Yep you have a lot of stuff G can I come over and open it all?
Oh and alott says sealed but they look like there in protective slips, I assume they are there to protect the original seal and not that they are the original seal
