Haha damn I'm so jealous. Someone from gamestop said they'd hold it for me, so fingers crossed.

I've only just started collecting for like 3 games last year and I've pretty much got all that I wanted for Tales of Symphonia already... It's very hard to collect stuff for the other 2. At least they ain't any more stuff coming out for them which makes them easier to collect and finish. (Not really, the stuff is hard as fuck to find) Just don't collect everything and you will do fine!

JRPGs are so interesting because they make you feel like an explorer! Sandbox games don't make me feel like you're exploring because you don't feel like you have an goal or the world is too small, not enough towns and secrets or they give you too much freedom that you don't feel like doing the story anymore which was your goal in the first place and then you lose interest in playing... unless it's Baldur's Gate on PC! (That's an WRPG done right! Skyrim you suck!!!)

JRPGs are fun if they tie exploring and story together.

Damn so lucky. I really wish I had gotten into Tales sooner, then I could've collected a bunch of the Tales items. I don't really collect individual items they come out with, just those that are bundled with the game.

Right?? JRPGs is my favorite out of all the gaming genres. The only good thing about sandbox games is that they're good for mindless fun I think. I could never get into WRPG's though.

Legend of Zelda

. My favorite stuff. I just need to start collecting a bunch of merchandise now since I focused a lot on the older games like the GBA, NES, and N64.

Spoiler!

Other nintendo collectors

Spoiler!

Those first edition copies? Shiny gold as opposed to matte?

Tons and tons of Zelda merch out there, but it's the old games like you've got that definitely seem to hold/increase their value more than anything else.

Well, those and the rare/special editions.

Plenty of Zelda collectors on this forum these days so you're in good company here.

I was sad that they didn't include an actual number, but its one of the nicest Laser Cels I own (the AC4 one is also really nice).

Also, my Zelda collection isn't really anything that great, just some games and guides and posters a few other bits and bobs - there's others on here who've got EVERY statue, every cover art, etc. etc. (and then of course the crazy awesome "Museum" shown recently).

Keep up the great work! I look forward to seeing your collection grow! (Oh and thanks for the Steel!)

Ohhh okay I actually do remember getting that. Yeah I was able to get one from the people I knew at GameStop, which was awesome. It is actually a very nice one. I'm glad that I didn't sell it. Heh I think everyone's Zelda collection is absolutely amazing on this site. I wish I could get all the F4F statues, cards etc. Just too much merch!

Hmm I think that it's the second edition copies. I heard that the first edition copies have the tray glued to the box. It seems shiny gold... but it also seems matte lmao ;__;. Yeah the old games were the absolute first thing I got since I knew it'd get more expensive down the line. I wish that I could get the limited edition OoS and OoA.
