Hi collector from Miami, Fl

[Robalvarez2010]

Hi everyone. My name is Robert I am 28 years old living in Miami Fl. I have been gaming since the atari day's but stopped gaming in the ps1 era. In late 2008 I was in the market for a bluray player and my brother told me to buy a ps3, so I did and the last thing I use it for is for movies. So ever since I got it I have been buying collector's edition games. I only purchase ps3 game's and only the NTSC format. I did purchase in the begining some xbox 360 games but realized that i enjoyed ps3 games more. All my collector's edition are brand new factory sealed. I purchase the regular edition of the same game to be able to play. I also collect uncharted items. I dont have a big uncharted collection since I dont care about buying everything of uncharted unless is something really rare, and I have one of the rarest uncharted collection out there. I hope you all enjoy my collection and I look forward on getting to know all of you on here.

[jugolicious]

Welcome to the forum =)

WOW at all those signed Uncharted stuff. I am an Uncharted collector myself, but I don't have all my stuff signed like yours!

Do you know the Naughty Dog team personally?

:notworthy:

[Viridius]

very nice collection. I was thinking that you worked for naughty dog, with all the signed merch you have!

[Robalvarez2010]

Hi thanks. Yes I know someone that works for naughty dog but I will not like to mention their name because they usually don't autographed to many things. I get free tickets to all there events so I get to meet all of the naughty dog employees. I have gone to their office a couple of times already.

[gurpswoo1]

Welcome to the forum

Great items, especially the signed items.

[Robalvarez2010]

Thanks gurpswoo1, I still can't compete with some of you guys here. I have seen some out of this world collections on here. It's hard to get something autographed by them. You either have to know someone that works for them or try to win it in one of there special events because they don't really like to autograph to many things.

I will be going out of town this weekend to take my kids to disney world, so sorry if I don't respond to anyone messages right away. Have a great weekend everyone one and thanks for a very comforting welcome.

[gu8]

disneyland???? its ok for some, i might go to chester zoo!!!!

whos laughing now smart guy

nah seriously though, nice items, welcome bud

[AlliDfense]

welcome bro im just up the road in orlando!!!

Nice collection!!!!

[Robalvarez2010]

Thanks you guys that's cool u live in Orlando I am usually up there to take the kids to the theme parks because I have the annual pass for all the parks. I am first going to take them to Disney then I am going to treat myself and go to islands of adventure.

[playmore64]

Absolutely stunning buddy lovely collection and well presented and preserved.

I just loooooooooooooove your layout that's an awesome stand for your entertainment equipment.

If I had to choose one item from your collection that stands out it'll have to be the Uncharted 2: FHE!

I like how you've framed your posters nice touch!

Keep up the good work buddy:thumb:

[Robalvarez2010]

Thanks man I try. I have always been very picky with my things. I had to buy a glass cabinet with a lock to put my uncharted items so my kids won't touch them.

[Robalvarez2010]

These are some other uncharted items that I have from naughty dog.

Damn, That business card is really nice haha! I will have to get me one :)

Where is the Uncharted 1 Press kit??

[Robalvarez2010]

I still have a couple of more uncharted stuff that I have to take pictures of. I still have to take pictures of the uncharted 1 press kit, uncharted limited edition concept art that it's limited to 400, some other event badges that I have from other shows that I have attended, my silver and limo drake vinyl figure, some shirts, and some more art work. I will see if I could take pictures of everything and post it this week. With 3 kids it's not that easy. I have not used my ps3 for more then 3 weeks.

[gu8]

Sorry rob, I reckon that lemur actually has the right idea here ;)

[Robalvarez2010]

Thanks jugo. Zhaff u won't have to rob me I will just give it to u lol.

[foreverflash]

:shades:
Hey Rob, welcome! A fascinating collection. Very special that you have such close access to Naughty Dog! Jealous!!

Hey quick question: Why not have all the pictures embedded on the thread here instead of links? Just wondering. Or at least having a single link to an entire album - as you have so many pics! Not much of a big deal, but would be a bit easier.

How was Disneyland?
:P

[Robalvarez2010]

Thanks foreverflash. Honestly because I am not to familiar with putting pictures. Thats why I dont have facebook. I am new to putting up pictures, and disneyland was good. I had to ride mosty kiddie rides because my doctor told me that I can not ride a rollercoaster for 4 years because of the heartattack. I still went and took advantage and rode the mummy and harry potter lol

[foreverflash]

I still went and took advantage and rode the mummy and harry potter lolYikes! A heart attack? That certainly isn't good to hear. I hope you are recovering well...

As for pictures, I recommend you try www.photobucket.com (http://collectorsedition.org/forums/www.photobucket.com). I use photobucket for all my picture hosting and embedding needs. It's a great service, though a little quirky and slow at times. What you do is sign up for a FREE account and then simply upload whatever photos you have on your computer to photobucket and you can sort,organize and edit them afterward into albums. Once a picture is uploaded, photobucket automatically creates various "codes" to use, which appear under the picture when you hover over it with your mouse. You can select "IMG" code and cut/paste it into a post on the forums here. Then the picture will show up on the forums (embedded).

If you need any other help or advice I'm more than happy to ablige!

[Cosmic_Link]

Rob, the print and figure look awesome! ^o^

Very nice! :D Do want! lol

[Robalvarez2010]

Yeah foreverflash I am doing much better. It's a very scary experience and thanks for the help, and thanks cosmic link. I really like it alot. I am at the process on getting a special custom frame for it so I could be able to put it up already.

[ejh343]

OMG!!! I just died... your collection is amazing!! by far the most complete one i've seen

[Robalvarez2010]

Thanks. I still need to post more pictures of other uncharted items that I have. I am only going to focus on uncharted items from now. I am going to start selling everything in my collection on eBay in the next couple of days except my uncharted items of course.

[comaamen86]

welcome how many more items do the naughty dog team have to sign before you release them from your basement 8)

[Robalvarez2010]

I dont think that I am going to release them. I might just sell them on ebay lol.

[comaamen86]

i hold you personally responsable for the last of us not being released this year :taunt:

[Robalvarez2010]

Well I can't say too much about this but you are going to love the last of us. If you think uncharted graphics are good then get ready for this game and it's not even the final production. The demo it's out of this world.

[toxicatom5]

You can say too much. We won't tell. Promise.

[Robalvarez2010]

Let's just say its like the movie I am legend mixed with uncharted. If you love uncharted, you will then really love this game.

[comaamen86]

Let's just say its like the movie I am legend mixed with uncharted. If you love uncharted, you will then really love this game.

the only games i have ever owned for ps3 was the uncharted series and heavy rain, if i didnt have one the last of us would make me get a ps3 like heavy rain did.

[Robalvarez2010]

I bought a ps3 because I was in the market for a bluray player and my brother told me to buy a ps3 and since then all I do is play games on it. I still have not watched a movie on it.

[Falcon]

Hey Rob I found your thread, it was hidden a few pages back! Lol.

Awesome collection, really impressive and unique. So many signed goodies! :D The glass cabinet is a really nice way of presenting them too. Is that a dedicated entertainment room? I like the TV stand with the display shelves either side too, great setup.

Looking forward to you updating with your latest items! There can't be much rare stuff you're missing now!

I'm looking forward to it. Did you get my email about the business card? If you don't want to then it's fine. Let me know either way. Oh and was I right about who your contact is?
