Greetinhs from South West England. My Small Collection.

[BenFrost620]

Hello one and all

I have been looking at the main website for a couple months or so now, or more, I can't remember, but I decided to sign up, and show off my small collection. I am proud of all these, even the small ones, but the big ones are what make me feel lucky to have them. I bought all of these new, some from online and some in stores. So I hope these are ok. I will start off small, and work my way up, or at least try to =] I will mention where I got them from too, in case anyone wonders, and mention what they are, in case my photo's end up being not as sharp as I wanted. And I will include prices I paid for them. The ones that I can remember, I will. If not, I will leave blank =]

I hope you enjoy these, as much as I have enjoyed opening them, and playing them =]

Crysis 2: Limited Edition (£12.49) & Medal of Honor: Tiear 1 Edition (£9.99). I purchased these from Game instore:

God of War: Ultimate Trilogy Edition inside the Pandora's Box replica (£109.99) Purchased from Game.co.uk. This is the most expensive one I paid for, but I loved every minute playing it.

Age of Empires 3: Collector's Edition (Forgot the price) I purchased this just after christmas one year, 2005 or 2006. Saw it on TV one day, and I decided I wanted it. I found this copy instore in Game. They held it back for me for one week, and I collected it at the end of the holding period:

Now to break up the games, here are 2 hardcover guides. I have the God of War 3: Ultimate Edition guide (£12.91) and the Black Ops Prestige Edition guide with the Multiplayer Tactical Recon Stand on the far left (£19.99) Purchased from Zavvi.co.uk and Game instore respectively:

http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/7599/p2406122000.jpg

Here I have the Half Life 2: Strategy Guide (£12.99), Half Life 2 Collector's Edition tin (£44.99 if I remember correctly) and Half Life 2 - Raising The Bar: Limited Edition Artbook (£49.90) It was sealed, but I couldn't resist oepning it and reading it. I have the tin edition of Half Life 2 because it was the only copy the store had, as they had none of the standard ones in. A happy accident that day. Purchased from Game instore, Game instore and Ebay.co.uk respectively:

http://img440.imageshack.us/img440/7103/p2406122010.jpg

Here I have Batman: Arkham City Collector's Edition (£14.99) and Batman: Arkham City Collector's Edition (£49.99) The Arkham Asylum box is tatty I know, and the Batarang scratched some, but thte game and journal and extra code were all sealed in a drawer. Plus the box must have been moved around the storey for about 3 years. These are my most recent purchases. Purhcased both instore, on the same day at Console Connections.

Here I have one of my luckiest finds: Starcraft 2 Wings Of Libery: Collector's Edition (£34.99) I spotted this in store one day, and set my heart on it. I kept looking to make sure it was there until I saved up and bought it. This was the lasy copy the store had, so I was very lucky. Here I also have another lucky find, Bioshock 2 Special Edition (£19.97). Both purchased instore from Console Connections.

Hi there. I myself come from Cornwall, the land of Pasties. Don't let Devon tell you any different lol.

Thanks for your reply to my first post, I appreciate your reply ^_^

[NaughtyDogJames]

Lol land of cider here :), nice collection, I really want that Assassins Creed 2 black edition.

[vhal_x]

Welcome :) Lovely collection :) Always nice to see a new UK-er (although there seems to be millions of us on here nowadays!)

Keep it up, and I hope you enjoy your stay here :D xx

[NaughtyDogJames]

Not as many as there are from Holland mind.

I wonder if you go scrumping then, or Urban Scrumping as Bill Bailey mentioned.

The Black Edition is really nice. I forgot the number I had. A friend of mine pointed it out to me a few months before it was released. He has a copy too. Another friend of mine has the White edition, but I think the Black Edition is better.

Welcome Lovely collection Always nice to see a new UK-er (although there seems to be millions of us on here nowadays!)

Keep it up, and I hope you enjoy your stay here xx

Thank you for your reply and greetings Vhal. I have seen there are a few of us. Must be that we get some nice editions here, or people are brave enough to import them =]

I shall look forward to enjoying my stay here.

Not as many as there are from Holland mind.

I thought the Dutch were more famous for other substances rather than cider xD

But again guys, thank you for your replies, and thanks in advanced for the others to come, but I will no doubt thank those again.

My next CE will be the Assassin's Creed 3: Join or Die Edition for the PS3 from Play.com, which I have pre-ordered. I am also looking to nab the Vault Hunters Edition of Borderlands 2 for the PC, but that decision will be made nearer the time.

Thanks again guys =D

[NaughtyDogJames]

I meant there are a lot of Dutch collectors ;). Although I live in a small there is no orchard actually, there's a folly mind that you can stick into through a hole in the barb wire though

Oh whoopsee, my bad. I hope I didn't offend any of the Dutch on here. And on the other note, are they good apples there? I am not a fan of cider, but I have had some nice stuff. Just don't get caught stealing. My mum used to go scrumping, such a rebel she was =D

[NaughtyDogJames]

Yeah we have a lot of good apples round here, makes for great apple cake as well, one place round here you can just go to an sit there all day and they that runs it just will let you drink for free.

That sounds like the kind of place I want to be all day. Sit there and drink until you can't drink anymore. Leave with the hugest drunk grin you could ever have. Those are the best laughs, you laugh at anything. I am sure the apple collectors and brewers in the Anno games must slip a few bevvies down at the taverns after their collecting, or any game where they collect apples. Same with the vintners, but wine is alot more fun.

[NaughtyDogJames]

You should be able to make cider in animal crossing then have beer goggles for half an hour :).

nice to see another UK-er here hello and welcome ben

I have never played Animal Crossing sadly. But I believe my mum has a version for the DS, along with the guide that was released for it. I shall have to play it one day.

nice to see another UK-er here hello and welcome ben

Hello there evilvort3x. Thanks for your warm reply and greeting =] It is nice to feelow UK-ers and other members welcoming me. ^_^

I look forward to more greetings, and any comments on my collection. I know it is small, but I am lucky to have the editions I have =D

[Viridius]

Hi ben,

very nice collection! welcome to the forum! :)

[BenFrost620]

Hi ben,

very nice collection! welcome to the forum! :)

Hello there Viridius, thanks for the greeting =]

I am glad you like it, and I am glad everyone else does too. They are all special to me, especially the ones I found a while after release, as I never thought I'd be lucky to get some so cheap. If anyone does live in Cornwall, I think Console Connections in Truro has another copy of the Bioshock 2 Special Edition down there, the display box was out again the last time I looked in there, still priced at £19.97. They are out the back the games I believe, not sealed, but they are brand new. They are just PS3 versions though.

Alsi, I think they have a Settlers 7 one, is that worth picking up or no? I am going to be down there tomorrow, so I will see what they have in there. I might get lucky.

Thanks again guys =]
