ATTENTION BOYS AND GIRLS! THERE IS NOW AN ACTUAL GALLERY OF MY COLLECTION (IN CRAPPY QUALITY, BUT STILL) ON PAGE TWO! Thanks...

Hi! Pleased to meet ya, now let's shut up and read shall we? :listen:

Hey there :wave: (Who greets people twice? I'm odd :starwars:). Just started collecting when I stumbled onto this website. Have to say it's a little overwhelming but overall... I like it!

All the cool collectibles everywhere. Boxes lining every wall. Cases, discs, and systems as far as the eye can see! For a gamer and naive new collector there is nothing finer.

Anywho, I've decided to join and make some new friends. Lucky you. Naw, I joke. After all my collection is very small at this point and I hope these wonderful forums will be help me remedy that.

I'm looking to strike a partnership with as many different people from as many different regions as I can. A mutual friendship! Help me get any cool or interesting collectibles exclusive to you and I'll do the same for you, everyone wins!

Yes, I realize I sound like an over excited schoolgirl, but what can I say? I'm looking forward to this.

So that end; I bring gifts of stuff to trade! Well, more like one thing to trade and a few things which I can get rather easily.

First up is this Witcher 2 T-Shirt which was a preorder bonus over here in the US at Best Buy. I've got two, one for my personal use and this one which I've kept in its original packaging. Clearly no expense was spared for said packaging. Suggested retail was around $40 I believe, though I tend to see them floating around eBay for around $20 if not less. Also, sorry about the crappy photo quality. No money for an HD camera at the moment.

So if you're fan of the series here's a nice opportunity to own a small piece of the franchise. And all it might cost you is a steelbook or two! Seriously I'm obsessed with those things. Speaking of which...

Our friends at Best Buy have released another batch of interesting preorders in the form of the following steelbooks for Dead Island: Riptide (G1) and the Bluray rendition of the Avengers (G2), excellent movie. Gets the HephaestusJones seal of approval, a pretigous honor. But I digress, these are my personal copies. Last time I was at the retail store I saw them stacking the Riptide steelbooks so there's no shortage there but the Avengers movie might be a little tricky since I've yet to come across another copy. If you're interested leave a message or PM me and I'll do my best to secure a copy for you and a fair trade from you. (There I go again!)

http://s17.postimage.org/3y6ueuj8r/2012_10_06_155049.jpg (http://postimage.org/image/3y6ueuj8r/)

I'll consider any offers since I'm not expecting to get much from this stuff :surrender:

One last little tidbit. I love Resident Evil and zombies in general but I'll consider any odd and or interesting collectible for trades/sales also a very easy way to win me over is with steelbooks (see above). Well, that's pretty much all I've got for now. Nice meeting you all but before I go...

Any takers?

Oh, and TLDR: Help me get cool stuff so I can help you get cool stuff also Witcher 2 Shirt and Dead Island Riptide/The Avengers Steelbooks :beer:

Hi
Welcome to the forum
I hope you enjoy yourself here
If you need any thing from the UK ,I will be happy to help you out :thumb:

Hey there and thanks. I might take you up on that offer. To be honest it would have been useful I while back when saw the Killzone 3 Collector's Edition on Amazon UK for cheap. Since then I've managed to secure a copy though the convinience would have been nice. Likewise, if you ever want something from the US let me know.

There's a sale trade for sales and trades, so you don't you introduce yourself with your own collection?
Might be worth a shot.

:shrug: I won't deny it you have a point but I'd rather not show my collection until I have a better camera to work with. Also it's not as impressive as some of the others I've in these forums so it's safe to say that I'm also a little intimidated. But hey! Now I've said too much :banghead:

Welcome!
lol don't feel intimidated. You will have a better chance selling on the "Items for Sale or Trade" instead of "Introductions" page. This is the place where your collection shines, the marketplace is where the money shines :D
Again welcome and hope seeing your small collection grow :)

Welcome :) You should post pics of your collection :) No need to feel intimidated, we all had to start out somewhere... I know when I first signed up here, my collection was nothing compared to what it is now. Being a member here, your collection will grow at a rate of knots :) Mine sure did :rotf: xx
