foreverflash's Collection - My New Life

[AJLareneg]

Very nice collection you have! It looks like you are limited on space just as I am, but it looks like you've made the most of it!

The Dead Space plasma cutters look really awesome too. Where did you get them from?

Also, I see you listed Resistance as being one of your main collections...? What items do you have for that?

[Ayiu]

awesome collection, I like the mixture of games, guides and merchandise stuff

[mosavon]

hey Josh...nice collection, soon to have a few more from me

[foreverflash]

Sorry for the late replies everyone! I've been busy most of the day...I really appreciate all the replies. I'll do my best to answer everyone:

@Sevket Thanks! It is #52 of 60 sold originally on the ubiworkshop.com store. It is very special to me, same as my other art piece which is 1/30 (Super special - Alice Madness).

@Angelaoni Thanks. Caring for my grandparent's has given me purpose and it will be something I'll always be proud of doing. And yes! That is a Western art piece for Assassin's Creed. It has no specific relation to any of the games (1, 2 or brotherhood), it is just an artists vision of a what a western style assassin in the Assassin's Creed universe might look like.

@Twisted I will have to get back to you via PM regarding the official details for the Splinter Cell case. I know it was a Canadian exclusive and that it came "seperate" from the collector's edition game (which was the same as the US release). Basically it was a bonus item (or maybe even a press kit of some sort). New Hampshire huh? Nice. Close by here. Did you get hit w/ Hurricane Irene? I have yet to actually meet someone online in real life...maybe you'd be the first! lol

@Lemur Thanks Lemur. I'm very proud of the Slimer statue. I got it on amazon (was exclusive) a couple years ago. It came separate from the game and included a bunch of puffy laminated sticker sheets (along w/ the certificate of authenticity and mini Ectomobile). 6500 made so not super rare...

@AJLareneg Thanks! yes I am very limited on space, but I love it! I love the challenge of trying to organize, protect and display everything. It's part of how I get my kicks as a collector. Got the DS plasma cutters from epicweapons.com They are the company who acquired the license with EA/Visceral, then had them made in China (sad I know, but what isn't made there these days?) A closely related site is: weaponmasters.com I am extremely proud of these replicas! They are true replicas in every sense. From their weight to their detail they are amazing. They each have 3 very powerful lasers that shoot out, just like in the game. These lasers are dangerous (though not the kind that will cut), they can cause eye damage very easy, just from a reflection. I've never seen lasers as powerful as these are. It's too bad I don't have the ones that were auctioned off on eBay for charity that have signatures from the entire Visceral Development team! I will try to do a live demo of my plasma cutters soon. As for Resistance, yes, it the newest addition to my top 10 collecting series', but still too new for me to have many Resistance collectibles. I have the more rare version of Resistance 2 (the one that came bundled w/ the PS3 system which has a different cover art) and I have the Resistance 2 CE. I also have all the comics and graphic novel mint*. Thats it so far, but I plan for more!

@Ayiu Thank you. I like to have a lot of variety so my collecting has a very broad range...though I do try to stick to specific series' and platforms to appease my completionist tendencies.

@mosavon Yes sir! I have a few coming from everyone! I'm all "preordered" out! So excited for everything. Everyday all I think about is holding each collectible in my hand soon. Rage, Battlefield 3, AC:R, Batman AC, Uncharted 3, Gears 3, Resistance 3, my oh my!!

Had this one in my ebay summary for a long time...I totally forgot about

Man this sucks. I paid like 300$ for both the game and this case from a Canadian seller and here is the damn case for 50$ US! I think I got ripped off a bit. But it's alright, I got mine way back when the game was released so it was easier to price jack then. + mine is perfect condition so at least that's good.

My friend has a laser pointer that can do something like that. He's beamed it up in the sky before and it looks like it just goes forever. Is it something like that??

Resistance is an awesome series, and probably my official "secondary" collection so I approve of this. Do you have a photo of the alternate box art Resistance 2!? I am interested... I know the R2 CE came with the alternate box art in it...and then PAL got our limited box art standard. I love the comics too. Do you have the #0 issue too?

R2 CE came w/ alternate box art? I thought the alternate only came bundled with PS3 systems...hm. Here's what the alternate box art looks like that came bundled w/ PS3 (not sure if same for CE as I didn't open mine). http://www.ebay.com/itm/Resistance-2...item3f0c1063ba As for the comics, yes I snagged 1 of the #0 (resistance 2 promo) comics. Unfortunately my copy is not mint* but rather Very Fine or less. I plan to get another at some point. Problem w/ the promo comic is it was handed out at conventions so it was never meant to stay mint. I may pickup the Japanese alternate box for R2 as I love it (w/ the Chimera) http://www.ebay.com/itm/PS3-RESISTAN...item5190440ed6. Do you know AJ if there was a collector's guide for R2 or even Fall of Man? Maybe an EU or even JP exclusive? I know some games get Japan exclusive art book/guides like the recent "Catherine" game did (which I snagged one off ebay from a Japanese seller). Pictures of my comic collection coming soon...

Can you please explain to me how you found these listings? I do searches on eBay and come up with nothing so often I figure I must be doing something wrong. I followed your links above and saw the listings. The title says "Resistance 2 Press Kit". Simple right? So I type in "Resistance 2 Press Kit" in the search bar and no results. How is that? I'm obviously doing something wrong with my searching...help me AJ!! It's probably 1 reason I never find the collectibles I need...

Yeaa, thats the same art! Its the one inside the CE... I liked it a lot more than the standard art. The promo comic was from conventions?? Really?? ...I got mine from Best Buy. It was just sitting there in a huge pile around when Resistance 2 was coming out. Mine is actually in very good condition too because of that... huh.. I wondered what they were actually meant for. No collector guides as far as I know...but I picked up the regular ones anyway.

The japanese R2 art is really nice! That just reminds me I need to pick up the inFamous 2 JP copy as well eventually...it also has very nice cover art...but any of the regions are better than the one we got here.

the listings? yea, when you look on the right hand bar there should be something to click up "worldwide" searches...and also searching ebay.co.uk pulls up auctions you won't even find in ebay.com ...but most of those would need someone to import for you since they won't ship overseas.

Well thanks. I just seem to have a hard time finding things (while other people don't) and it frustrates me to no end. Is every country like that for ebay? An item listed for shipping ONLY in AU will only be searchable by visiting ebay.co.au?
