My video game and art collection

[Hans Groesse]

Hi there

I'm pretty new to this forum and would like to introduce myself. I'm from Switzerland and I play and collect video games and press kits (only the ones I personally like). I'm also a video game art enthusiast!

I'll post some of my art collectibles right now - my video games maybe later.

Enjoy! :v:

:welcome: Congratulations! You have a lovely collection of art. Love the Moxxi piece. Hope you enjoy yourself here :bananayes:

[Hans Groesse]

Thank you Matrix6, yes I like the Moxxi print a lot!

It's crazy what cool items you guys have here, so yes, I enjoy myself here - no doubt! :D

[MortalMonday]

Oh. I see you won some of the charity auctions for the art prints. Nice! Always nice to see another videogame art lover. :) Moxxi print is awesome! I have one of those too.

[vhal_x]

Welcome, very nice artwork! Love the Moxxi print :D xx

[Hans Groesse]

MortalMonday, yes indeed, these are some charity auction prints. I'm a big fan of the Deus Ex and Dead Space franchise, so I had to have these prints!!! :D

Yeah, Moxxi rulez, I'm looking for the Dr. Ned's zombie island print as well but had no luck so far :(

[Hans Groesse]

Thank you vhal_x, Moxxi seems to be popular around here :D

[Hans Groesse]

Aww... come on! I'm very interested in other people collections! :(

You won the Deus Ex print I wanted!

Congrats and welcome to the forum :)

[Hans Groesse]

Congrats and welcome to the forum :)

Haha, I can't believe it! And you're the guy who won the Agent 47 print I (also) wanted! :D

Nice to meet you Amnoz :)

[Ljungberg02]

Awesome prints! I look forward to see also your games collection (it should be awesome as well :D)

[Hans Groesse]

Hey fellow collectors, long time no update in my thread. This is about to change :)

Here I show you my Hitman collection. There are some generic but also some very nice pieces. Enjoy! Any comments are appreciated!

[NaughtyDogJames]

Nice collection. I really want that PS3. Do you collect mostly absolution or all hitman games.

[Hans Groesse]

Thank you NDJ. Well I started to collect Hitman items with the release of Absolution, so I don't have any other Hitman items yet :)

I also collect BioShock (got some really cool things) and Dead Space items. I will post pictures of them soon!

[KianRockz]

omg this collection is so AWESOME

[Hans Groesse]

Thank you KianRockz

Are you from Germany? Greetings from a fellow swiss neighbour :)

[KianRockz]

haha awesome.

Viele Gr??e aus dem Rheinland xD

[ingmar1988]

Neat hitman stuff, very nice! Still want that CE (if i can get it cheap somewherE)

[NaughtyDogJames]

Thank you NDJ. Well I started to collect Hitman items with the release of Absolution, so I don't have any other Hitman items yet :)

Ah ok that makes sense. I hope you pick up some older stuff soon as I'd be interested to see what else is available. Look forward to seeing your other stuff.

[MortalMonday]

Oh man, that is one impressive Hitman collection. I bow to you sir!

[Platfus]

Very impressive stuff and that consoles too :)

[Dr_Jengo]

Nice Hitman collection, don't think I have seen many of the Hitman stuff that you got there..

[Hans Groesse]

Thank you guys. I think olthough Hitman is a beloved franchise, there are not many "real" Hitman collections out there in comparison to Assassin's Creed collections and collections of other famous franchises (like Metal Gear for an other example). I never would want to start a Assassin's Creed collection, it would ruin me :D

Next to come:
My BioShock collection

[Hans Groesse]

My BioShock collection, enjoy! :)

[spar]

Man I love it!
The vinyl is the actual game DVD?

[Hans Groesse]

Hey spar! Nice to hear that you love it :)

Do you mean the vinyl in the second last picture? That's the digital press kit of BioShock 2. It contains artwork, video clips and information about the game.

[spar]

Yes I meant that. I?m not really into game itself, but I really like those CE?s and other stuff. That vintage style is really nice.

Nice update! I've been after that Developer's Edition for a while now (or should I say "devlopers"?). I've seen plenty of them out there, just haven't pulled the trigger (hoping to get a good deal on one eventually).

Is that another vinyl record in the middle of the second photo or a print? And what is behind that says "damaged by sea water"?

[Ghostclass]

This Bioshock collection is so awesome :) great collection

[AndyTheCollector]

Oh my! Your Bioshock collection is really something special to me! Bioshock is one of my most favourite universes of all time and you have some items I see for the first time (Bioshock 1 small artbook, that Developer Edition?..). :1:

[Hans Groesse]

(or should I say "devlopers"?)

Haha :D

Yeah, it's one of the most awesome artbooks I own. Was totally worth the high price :) I didn't pay 400$ like some deals on ebay, but I should have buy it when it was available at the 2k store for how many bucks? 30? 40? :lol:

The other vinyl disc you see in the middle of the picture belongs to the BioShock press kit. That was a tough one to find. The press kit consists of the "damaged by sea water" box, the press kit vinyl, the Kashmir restaurant mint drops, the Rapture plasmids syringe pen and the press kit booklet. It's in great shape and I love it very much :)

[Hans Groesse]

This Bioshock collection is so awesome :) great collection

Thank you Ghostclass :) Do you also own anything BioShock related?

[Hans Groesse]

Oh my! Your Bioshock collection is really something special to me! Bioshock is one of my most favourite universes of all time and you have some items I see for the first time (Bioshock 1 small artbook, that Developer Edition?..). :1:

Hey Andy, cool to see other collectors who appreciate the BioShock franchise!!! :)

I'm not sure about the small BioShock artbook, I got it from ebay. I think it was only available in Australia. But I'm not certain about it :)

[KianRockz]

Hey Hans, you miss something on your collection. You have the Steelbook with the Xbox360 logo, but still need the one with the PC Logo

[Hans Groesse]

Hey Hans, you miss something on your collection. You have the Steelbook with the Xbox360 logo, but still need the one with the PC Logo

Let me guess, you have the PC version? :D

Either way, I'm not interested in PC stuff :)

[KianRockz]

I have both :p

But still it belongs to the bioshock franchise xD

[Hans Groesse]

You're right! But there are a lot of other BioShock stuff which belongs to the franchise, like the NECA action figures. But I'm not interested in those, so I don't add them to my collection :)

[Anjelaoni]

Sch?n hets no mau e Schwizer i das chline Forum gschafft, bi froh dasi n?me alleini bi! :)

H?rzlech willkomme u sch?ni Sammlig! Witer so, gseht sehr guet us! Gruess us Bundesb?rn.

[flatout]

Hi, the art book that is in the bottom of this picture... what is it exactly (how it was obtained and how rare)?

Thanks!!

[Matrix6]

The Art of Bioshock mini-artbook...
Those came as pre-order bonuses in Aus, I don't know how rare they are though. It's just another art book for the game I guess :think: (mine is buried somewhere along with the Dead Space 3D mini-artbook)

[Hans Groesse]

Sorry for the late answer. Yeah, I got the artbook from an australian ebay seller. I paid 9 bucks for it, now they sell for more than 40$ on ebay... crazy. Ican't tell how rare they are, but you don't see them often, that's for sure. :)
