A small fine collection from beautiful Austria

[StyX]

Hey everyone.

As I´m new to this forum I wanted to introduce myself. First I want to say this is exactly the forum I was looking for for such a long time. Especially the Group Buy and Export section is pretty amazing.

My name is Oliver and I was born and raised in beautiful Austria. I´m 22 years old and i study International Logistics Management. I took part in an exchange programm and spent the last year studying in Hong Kong. Furthermore, I work at Gamestop besides studying as a part-time worker which is rly a lot of fun and hopefully I can help u guys out someday if there are any steelbooks or editions exclusively coming to Austria or Germany.

My collection is not big (not yet) and probably not that interesting as other users´ collections but I´m proud of it.

I guess the game I´m proud of the most is a sealed copy of the German version of "The Legend of Dragoon" and all the Resident Evil/Biohazard games for the GameCube.

Here´s a list of all my LEs/CEs/Steelbooks (all for XBOX360):

Resident Evil Operation Racoon City LE (Austrian gamesonly excklusive)
Dead Island (Austrian game4game exclusive)

Welcome to the forum

Great collection.

Is the Dead Island (Austrian game4game exclusive) the treasure edition?

[StyX]

Yep, the Treasure Edition in the wooden box. Found it in a second hand videogame store in the same mall I´m working at. Couldn´t believe it but fortunately there are only elderly people working in this store so they do not know the value of most games.

[gurpswoo1]

Now that is a deal, congrats.

Great find could just picture it you walk into a shop see that & you have the bag ladies from the UK TV show League of Gentlemen :lmao:

Reenie Calver
Vinnie Wythenshaw

You may be popping there more often :think:

[StyX]

It was funny indeed cause she said something like: "Oh such a brutal movie (she didn´t even know it was a game lol) for such a fine gentleman like you. You better pick something nicer." She was rly nice and afterwards I had a bad feeling bout buying it so cheap but only till the moment I saw how much it costs on the internet hehe.

Well, I don´t know the show. I just watched The IT Crowd for 1 season but I somehow don´t like the English humor^^.

And I hardly go there cause normally it´s horribly expensive. They sell SNES/Super Famicom games (without package) for 20€ in average...but I also found Final Fantasy VII (German Version; sealed) for 25€ like two years ago there.

[StyX]

Finally got some time to make some pics...well 2.
As u guys can see it´s rly not that big but I´m already running out of space to store all the stuff :D This is not my whole collection. I also have some stuff in my old room but I moved within our house and so not everything is on the pic.

Big Box and Disc are like mint. Only the inner cardboard where the disc is placed is slightly damaged (but nothing worth mentioning).
