Crazy display and collection. Welcome! :beer:

[driv3r]

Hello, and welcome to the forum :D

This is an amazing collection. Great display case!! It looks really nice in the dark :)

One question: What is the Mass Effect thing in the bottom right corner of your first picture?



*BTW, it should be "Nerdiness." ;)

[Lemur]

What is the darkness compendium? Don't think I've ever seen that before.

[tristard]

@driv3r: this is a hardcover comic book in a exclusive edition, signed by mac walters (number 280 of 500 copies, ISBN 9781595828583). and thanks, headline corrected ;)

@Lemur: google for ISBN 1582408920

cheers

Beautiful presentation. I love how all the contents of the CEs are proudly displayed, and not just the boxes themselves. :1:

[themidlandmaster]

Wow!

That is georgeous!

Same way i have my collection, but nowhere near as fancy....

Where did you get tge nuka cola caps?

[tristard]

@Solemn_In_Berlin: thanks. yep, I like all the stuff in the packages, so I open them. although the collector's value decreases, I don't want to sell it anyways... ;)

@themidlandmaster: I bought them here: http://shop.nukacola.eu - they come on bottles with a tasty nuca cola inside, those are not just bottlecaps. :D btw you can see the top of some bottles on the bottom of the first picture. the "quantum" is "blacklight active", now I need to install some UV-LEDs in the cupboard. ;)

Same with bioshock 2. I gound out when testing my tenth doctor's sonic screwdrive :)

[tristard]

haha damn, you're right. need more UV-LEDs!

[AndyTheCollector]

:welcome: and enjoy your stay here. You have really beatiful collection and display furniture. I'm glad to see another PC collector, especially with similar gaming and collecting tastes as do I. ;)

[Mike1888]

Man that is a fantastic display!! Unbelievable.

Awesome collection as well, welcome!

:welcome:

[tristard]

thank you guys. =) replaced all the pictures with "high-res" and added some minor changes.
Edit: sorry, the thumbnails of imageshack don't work for any reason... had to put the full image in the thread. :S

[buttah42]

Wow amazing showcase you have there! I'm all jelly lol

[vhal_x]

Awesome collection and amazing setup :drool: xx

[foreverflash]

Damn. It's like, every week a new collector emerges with a collection and display setup that trumps them all again! I honestly can't believe how beautiful and professional your displays are. Must have cost a fortune right? I mean, those are thick cabinets with doors and spotlights inside? :swoon: I was originally going to simply say: "I'm speechless..." but then realized I did have something worthwhile to say. Thank you for sharing and you are most welcome here. :wave:

[tristard]

I'm currently setting up a new blog, so I can remove/transfer the pictures from my first post. I will keep my blog up to date and inform you about any news here in this thread =)

[matze1975]

Wow! Awesome collection! I love the way you display it! Let me say one german word: Neid!!!:thumb:

[Resseh]

wow thats awseome. its giving me some ideas for my next house :D

[Pielord]

[tristard]

[tristard]

I also made some pictures of my comic books, you can find them here:

cheers =)

[Ceohai]

Great collection, always nice to see collector's who proudly display their CEs.

What are you planning on putting in the center of your Darksiders display?

[foreverflash]

I envy you so much Tristard. Those display cases are simply the best I've ever seen, PERIOD. This goes without mentioning all the AMAZING stuff you've got inside them...

[tristard]

hi, thank you guys. just found out, I restricted my "comic collection". >.< now it´s unlocked, so you can see it.

@Ceohai: I´m currently waiting for the release of darksiders2 and this book: http://tinyurl.com/79saftx
there should also be some minor goodies in the future for sure. ;)
I´m still expanding the furniture to get the rest of my collection displayed in the same way. due to that, there is not money left for this baby: http://tinyurl.com/7nx9g92 :'(

currently I´m planning to get a new display for my nintendo merchandise. stay tuned. :D

You could always go for one of these:

Not quite as big, but it's a heck of a lot cheaper than the WAR & Ruin figure.

[tristard]

yep indeed, I already had my hands on this figurine. but I did not like the painting of it. :shrug:
but if I had the skills to repaint it, I would definetly buy one of those. ;)

[Gazereths]

Wow your collection is so beautifully displayed....it was a true pleasure to look through. Are those custom made cabinets? They look really nice, the lights show off you collection really well......All you need now is a Metal Gear Solid shelf LOL

Edit - Just noticed the Tomb Raider reboot artwork, is that a lithograph? Where did you get it and is there any chance I could acquire one from somewhere?

[tristard]

the tomb raider picture is "just" a print from a printshop, but in high quality. I already asked square enix if they will release lithos, they just told me to watch their onlineshop before release... as usual.

[tristard]

... if available in europe, I put this one into the shelf ;)

Oh OK cool, I have a promo poster so that will do for me. I'll keep an eye out for lithos though.

[tristard]

hrrrr new picture incoming this evening, got my ME3-CE a few minutes ago! :D

EDIT: gallery updated! ;)

[tristard]

okay guys, I also added a (hopefully) complete list of all the games I played until now. in the 3rd row of the list, you can find the edition. =)
if nothing is entered, I have no idea where I got the copy I played. video rental stores, friends that lend me their copys, magazine extras... whatever.

one more word on the steam versions: I already finished most of them earlier, I just wanted to "own" them again. I guess (most of) you know what I mean... ;)

have fun.
