Blizzard collection - Starting a new hobby

[Nightbane]

Hi

I have been browsing this forum for about a month now, waiting for a number of things to arrive since I started collecting Blizzard games about a month ago. Decided to hold off signing up until I had some thing good to show everyone.

Probably a bad time to start collecting with Christmas right in the middle since a lot of stuff was from America

Anyway, my new big hobby is collecting anything and everything Blizzard, but only at the right price. My real love for Blizzard games started when I first picked up WOW many years back, and I still play it to this day so I have a fairly good history with Blizzard games.

I am a recent Uni grad and I am saving up to do a masters so unless its a really really high quality game then I wont be paying over what I want to pay. For example I paid ?50 for Lost Vikings PC, but it is in perfect condition, from box to the insides, and is complete. Other items I can live with it being 90% good condition for the right price which I have got quite lucky with so far.

I have other collectibles too, most notable my Mass Effect 1 collectors edition steelbox, SWOTOR (which I got for ?50 a few months after launch, due to the game stores dying, and probably my huge megadrive collection which was my first ever console when I was stupidly young). All that is in the loft of my house so I cant get pictures unfortunately.

Anyway, enjoy my collection. I look forward to sharing more of my steals and moans with you all in the future (Dont forget to look at my questions at the bottom)




Warcraft 1, Warcraft 2 and expansion, Warcraft 3 and Expansion both unopened, World of Warcraft (original trillion disk version ), and the expansions.




Almost every diablo game, D2 in small and big box version. Only missing Diablo Hellfire which will arrive shortly.




Everything else thrown in

Top row: Lost vikings pc, Lost vikings 2 pc (Sealed), Diablo book of cain, Warcraft Lich king helm collectible (purchased from blizzard, sealed and never opened) (1 of 4000 made)

Bottom row: Blackthorne pc (No cover yet, sadly), Rock n roll racing, World of Warcraft behind the scenes dvd (sealed), Diablo 15th anniversary and Warcraft patch 3.3 music cd's (both sealed), Blizzcon Mini Tyrael figure (sealed)

Still waiting on the following:

Warcraft 3, collectors edition soundtrack, dvd and game (got this for under ?10 which is all I really need)

Diablo hellfire exp - Wasnt going to get this as its not really a Blizzard made game and it sells for quite a lot, but I got this for ?25 in good condition based on pictures)

Some other world of warcraft collectors edition goodies as I cant justify paying ?50-300 for boxed versions of games I already have

Questions)

1) So my blackthorne does not come with the cardboard sleeve that just slides off the black interplay box, does anyone know where I can get a replacement cover? This seemed to be a really rare game for pc and the buyer claimed this didnt come with a cover as it was leftover stock purchased from interplay themselves.

2) Is there any other blizzard game collecting addict on this forum I can throw my questions at?

3) I have a very annoying and very scary label on my diablo 2 big boxed versions, do any of you pro's know a safe way to remove this?

Thanks all, hope you enjoy my small but growing collection
