Kat's new intro thread

[Ayiu]

Welcome to my thread. Here's a short introduction about me.

Well, my name is Katrin which cannot pronounced by English speaking people properly, so feel free to call me Kat

I'm 24 years old and at the moment I'm a student of international law and economic.

Collecting was always part of my life and I grew up with it. My grandparents lead me to collecting rare coins and stamps. At a later stage I started collecting Kinder surprise egg figures.

So it was just a matter of time until I find something new....

In the meanwhile I managed to get a boyfriend who owns a Xbox 360, yada yada yada, and I became a gamerscore whore

Back to collecting:
It happened when Assassin's Creed II was released, surprise, surprise our first special edition was an AC related one....the AC II White Edition.
To build up our collection we bought a lot of crappy editions and only used ones. But after some time it was me who decided that non of our future editions will be opened.
So most of our editions are sealed now a days.

We are also into collecting official strategy guides no matter if they are hardcover or paperback. From time to time an art book find its way in our midst.

So enough talking...let the pictures speak for themselves

Last but not least a picture of our strategy guide collection. They are stored at my boyfriends house.




If you wish to see closer pics of my whole collection please check out my flickr account as it would take ages to place all the picture in this thread.

I created two sets one for my games and one for all of my books and I'm also working on my own homepage

I took photos of every single edition and I wrapped them one by one in plastic to protect them from dust. That's why you see some tesa on a few editions.

again Kat! You have sweet collection. I love especially those various CE guides and artbooks.

[MortalMonday]

Too much good stuff!

[Mike1888]

That's a great collection you have there.

[Ayiu]

Thanks everyone. Means a lot to me because it was very important to me to wrap all my edition and it was one hell of work. I bought the plastic on rolls and hat to cut, glue and to fold everything by myself. So it make me really proud to present you all this

You haven't seen them all Due to the limit of 200 photos only 49 of my guides were shown but the problem is now solved. Enjoy

Hope you enjoy your time here to the end of dayZ.

I'm curious about your The Elder Scrolls V - Skyrim Revised & Expanded Edition...I wasn't aware of its existence!?

Good job in unwrapping and wrapping them back up, you deserve a cup cake

[Ayiu]

lol I didn't know that new members have already the senior title or is it just because of your age

About the skyrim guide. I found it at a German online book store. Thought it could be rare at some point ^^ It's fully in English so it must have been released outside of Germany, too

Oh and I haven't unwrapped any of my ce's some are still sealed under their extra dress of protection

Nnniiiicce! I also started collecting when AC was released! Except I really only focus on that franchise... for now.

Excellent additions to your collection! Hope you're enjoying the game too.
