Hey guys,
I'm sorry i didn't see any of those last replies, i thought the site would warn me (and maybe it did^^), but i'm really not used to forums, please forgive the lack of answers
Damn, gurpswoo1, that's a nice find! I was thinking, like foreverflash, that they were fakes but it seems they're not... oww, i might order them.
However, seeing how my first and last attempt to order something in poland ended, it may not be a good idea.
I ordered 2 Dead Island Survival Kit Edition, and when i received them, i nearly had an heart attack! The packaging was... well, i don't know how to say it in english, basically it was the bag you put in the dustbins :O
Of course the games were crushed. And of course now I don't want them anymore^^ Tried to sold them on ebay and some local french sites but that didn't worked. Then i realised the polish site charged me approximately 30 zl for shipping, which corresponds to 6.5€, to ship from poland to france. I can understand why it came in such a poor package...
Still, i'll think about ordering one of these CE's on Merlin-multimedia.pl, PoP or Myst i think. If i do, i'll keep you in touch about it!
Photos, photos... well i was tempted to show you my collections but i didn't, for 3 reasons.
First, when i see your collections it makes me feel ashamed^^ especially as my games are not sealed and sometimes not in a pristine condition!
Second problem is space. Basically i can barely move in my room now, as i went mad with buying those games and i overestimated how many space i had left
so everything is stocked and quietly waiting till i have my own home and can display them.
There are also some CE i have to sold... to bring money for other CE's
Third thing is... well, despite my lack of space i still have dozens of new games to receive, so i was thinking i could wait a bit to show you more pictures. We all go crazy for them, so i thought it wasn't a bad idea!!
@ Queens of Mudcrabs: yeah at first i wanted to collect only old pc big boxed games, as they reminded my my childhood and my discovery of pc gaming. However i found it so hard to find boxes matching the quality level i wanted and got robbed so many times (i'm a beginner, and i was too confident with people- and i am still) that i decided to focus on collector's edition, as people tend to protect them more than old big boxed games that used to be quite common and therefore not always protected.
I'm still looking for some nice games like these, actually i'm drooling over this :

But i really can't afford them, considering the price, the shipping cost, and the customs fee i will surely get... but i'd love to get them. I had Warlords II some years ago, for macintosh, but lost the box. Shame on me.
I can add Sanitarium and "I have no mouth and i must scream", among others...
I managed to get this yesterday :
Not mint, ans unsealed, but seems to be in good state, t shirt is sealed. It is numbered (5102), but i don't know how many were produced. I think (and hope) that knowing the game was a critical success but not really a commercial one, and this was an original franchise with no huge budget, there were not so many of them. I need to pick informations about this. And i'll post pictures if anyone is interested!
I also have some nice stuff, like a sealed Quake II for PC, big boxed of course.
And, something i just never see anywhere else, a sealed first edition, big boxed Resident Evil 1 in French for PC.
The game in french is not that common for PC. First edition in french for PC seems to be quite rare. Still sealed... i just never, never saw that.
Hmm, to be honest, the "sealing film" (whats the english word?) is really really worn and doesn't cover the entire game anymore. But it still holds on in a way that clearly shows the game was never opened. Not esthetically attractive due to the poor state of the seal, but i think it is an extremely rare thing.
So,well, i wrote too much, i'll come back with photos... when i can
Cheers!
