The Legend of Zelda Merch/Swag/Collectible Thread

[Iwatasan]

Dropping a small list here so I can try to keep track of things. Knight mentioned the art cels and T-shirts from Nintendo NY already. I couldn't care less about T-shirts in general, but I'm still undecided on the cel art which is kinda cool I think. Anyway, there's been some other worthwhile Zelda merch lately too. Links below are not necessarily the cheapest online price.

Zelda chess set
Hyrule Graphics artbook (JAP) / Art & Artifacts artbook (ENG)
30th anniversary soundtrack
Nintendo NY 30th anniversary art cels (and T-shirts): series 1 | series 2 (there will be 6 when said and done)
Akira Himekawa Twilight Princess manga
Akira Himekawa The Legend of Zelda: Legendary Edition mangas: volume 1 | volume 2 | volume 3 | volume 4 (there will be 5 when said and done)

Thanks for the card update, saw that the other day on their FB account (knew about it for awhile but was waiting for details) but didn't have a chance yet to post here. Thanks for saving me the time!

Stinks that they're just yet another trading card set rather than a playable card game set like was first hinted at.

Also, haven't heard from anyone else yet, but did anyone who got the NYC 30th anniversary T-shirt/Cel Art Series #2 notice that on the back of the COA it says "3 of 6"? I feel like I'm missing one somewhere? Or do you think they just released them out of order?

Yeah, was announced originally just for Australia if I remember right. Now you can buy it in the US too. Right, no gameplay involved, which I agree sucks. With how rare the Gold Foils are, if you want a complete collection you're going to be spending hundreds of dollars on thousands of cards and throwing practically all of them away since duplicates are worthless without a game to play. I think I'll pass. Maybe buy a complete set further down the road when they don't cost much.

That's this one? I'm not aware of a third yet but I'm not paying close attention, either.

Edit: Oh, and somebody post what's in that Zelda Mystery Box when it comes out tomorrow. I didn't buy one so I want to see how much I regret that (if at all)!

Yeah, that one! Mine says "3 of 6" on it, which is weird.

Also, Zelda Informer already did I believe. I didn't click through everything though as I wanted to be somewhat surprised when I get mine.

Also, here's another item I just saw recently at Gamestop, though its been available for some time elsewhere worldwide:

Looks like all those art prints on eBay have the same "3 of 6" label, and there don't seem to be any "2 of 6"s yet.

I found an unboxing video for that Mystery Box. There's maybe one thing in there I'd like to have, the rest I would have sold on. Seems to be the way these "box" things go.

Oh man F4F just announced the winner for the prototype Skull Kid figurine and it wasn't one of us. Bummer!!

[KnightOfTruth]

Indeed. I wonder if it'll end up on eBay any time soon?

I'm rather sad that I never saw this kickstarter before -- I would've LOVED to have one of these unofficial signed Zelda N64's just to say I had one...
