Default I'm the worst kind of collector...

You'll all hate me for it...

I have no idea what I have stashed where, I'm like a headless chicken with no direction - and I like cheap toot.

So last night I was looking for my walking dead comics to lend to a mate at work and I found one of my mini boxes of toot...I have no idea I still had these bits - and to be frank I'd forgotten I'd bought some of them lol

AC USB bracelet & ring, Dead Souls USB bullet & tatoo, Mario Galaxy coin, Max Payne bullet pen (now I remember the hassle getting that after the whole zavvi fiasco), some PS3 s/bs that I should sell on...and probably a couple other bits I already forgot again

So yeah, I have several of these dotted around the house/loft/etc I have the dead island suitcase full of dead island toot, the explorer edition suitcase full of PS3 steelbooks (picture on this forum somewhere)...a few figurines dotted about...it's chaos.

Then, the worst crime is I'll break it up - oh yeah, bring on the hate! I'll get an edition and split that stuff up...I'll keep what I want and sell what I don't. I have the 20th anniversary PS4 - and I'm using it - but only the console, the controller and camera stayed in the box to keep them mint (I even bought the 20th anniversary DS4 and headset so I can play with the complete set lol)! Having said all that, I guess I'm the kind of collector you should love - one day someone might want that AC USB bracelet to complete a collection...also my splitting editions up means the guys who keep theirs together are going to benefit as complete sets become more rare More recently I started buying special editions (Uncharted Collection and when it comes out Uncharted 4 SE) where I will sell the disk but keep the rest (because I will buy the game digitally!)

Anyway, odd rant - and likely a thread thread of little interest but throwing it out there. It's extra off because I'm really anal about stuff, I mean, I won't let my kids use my 20th anniversary DS4 or headset - I have a zavvi MGS HD collection which is completely mint and sealed in perfect condition, in bubble wrap and boxed up (!)...go figure!? (FTR I do have a MGS HD I opened so I could have the t-shirt/steelbook and artbook in hand )

So, what about you guys and gals? I know some of you buy all editions/versions and never break a seal - personally I think that's sacrilege, these things are made to be enjoyed (but each to their own)...I can appreciate why you'd do that
