I was so happy with my sealed DSULE until I chanced upon this thread. In your thread my X360 'grail' DSULE is simply used as some random paper weight (gasp!) in a picture for one of your multiple signed litographs! I haver to laugh at how many of the modern sealed so-called 'grails' are used as paperweights to showcase posters. Ah, pure evil

This thread has definitely broadened my horizons when it comes to collecting. I'm (very) grateful at all the online stores I have tracked down thanks to your thread and all the goodies I have now discovered. Sets me new targets.

In return I thought you may be interested in this link which has a limited (autographed of course Mortal!) run of litographs of classic 1988 game Wasteland which spawned the modern setting of post-apocalyptic games that inspired the Fallout series and many others.

At least after seeing your thread my wife now thinks I'm not such a nutter after all; your thread makes me look in her eyes as 'almost' normal (key word 'almost').

There are considerably worst cases than mine .. *cough* Giant Dragonborn statue in the attic *cough*

I'm fairly sure that has some Freudian echoes to it.

Sorry, couldn't resist Mortal.

I'm curious, you don't collect old-school big boxes i.e. Black Isle / Interplay. It's all very modern goodies. Any particular reason for that? Is it because of the high prices fetched that you'd rather focus on new (rare) stuff?

Thanks Mortal, your thread has made for an enjoyable read. Looking forward to all your updates; great stuff!

Thank you so much for the kind words! I don't really collect older stuff (certainly not older games) simply because there's not enough money or space! I may, from time to time, buy older stuff that's based on old games that I especially love, like ICO for instance (and I'm not too sure that ICO would even qualify as retro yet, lol.)

Thanks again brother! Talk to you soon. Tell your wife this nut said hello!
