I wish. I'm trying to pay my current one off so that way I can at least enjoy a few years of non-servitude to the bank before I decide to move. Also, that's going to be a pain to pack everything back up.

Where do I put my stuff? Garage… I only display smaller items from TLoU and Uncharted like press kit and promo items in my media room, Bloodborne statues in my study (there are only 3 from Prime1), and GoW statues all over the house lol.

I've thought about the garage. Obviously, you probably have them packed up in boxes but you don't worry about this Texas heat causing some kind of damage to the plastic and resin items? That was my main concern and another reason why I didn't decide on the attic either. At least in the dedicated room, they're in a temp controlled environment. Although, I do have an upstairs balcony door in that room and when it rained hard, my unopened Uncharted PS4 box got water damage on it. I was pissed.

Everything in my garage are packed in boxes, and my garage is kept at 90 degrees or lower during summer so it should be fine. The more expensive items are all inside the house. Attic is a hard no, it frees like 200 degrees every time I go up there to clean the AC or change the filter… 10 minutes up there during summer time can definitely cause some big damage to your health…

Sorry to hear about the damaged Uncharted PS4… I can free the pain because it is Uncharted lol

I need to get insulating tips from you then.. or I just have a crappy garage. It gets really darn hot in there. I guess I'll look into getting it up to snuff. I agree with you on the attic. When I'm changing my filters, I look like I've ran a marathon when I'm coming back down.

Yessh I got it somewhat easy here in Maine. Though my collection is relatively small as my closet is plenty of room.

Lol, it's probably a combination of self-control on your part and a lack of one on mine.

Although, I still love seeing updates from Ken and yourself.

Hello fellow collectors,

So, I'm going to start off by saying I spent more than I intended as it started off with this little "gem":




To make a long story short, I wanted to play some old school Fire Emblem and knew I had bought this one at a GameStop when they were first selling retros. I didn't know my ass from my elbow at that time with anything dealing with handhelds to tell what was a knock-off. My suspicions were confirmed when I first booted it up and realized my saves were gone as I knew how bootlegs had horrible battery life, killing your saves due to how less efficient the integrated chips were (don't quote me on that but that's what I remembered). Anyways, it was doubly confirmed when I started to look up genuine versions, lol. Anyways, it started this tirade of online searching for all of the Fire Emblems. Thus, the following image of the rest of the missing Fire Emblems I didn't have.




So, two things you'll notice. 1) Not all of them are included. That's because I didn't want to go rummaging around to find Fates, Shadows of Valentia, Path of Radiance, and Radiant Dawn. I think I have them listed somewhere in my thread. And 2) You can see two copies of The Sacred Stones. That was because I didn't realize the first copy I bought had a small tear in the box on the back, so I decided to buy another copy for posterity's sake.

Going down the FE list, at some point it brought around to a memory of purchasing Radiant Historia around the same time and that was when I realized they made a second one. I had no idea, so I snatched that one up as quickly as I could.




Keeping things somewhat Nintendo, I decided to purchase the Zelda Joy-Con's. I never realized how tiny the controllers were until I opened this box. I gotta say, I really like the presentation they put into this.




So, after seeing liuken's update, it got me wanting the Mamegyorai Last of Us. The quality of the statue and the familiar pose of Joel and Ellie really drew me. Maybe, someday I'll take them out of the packaging but these are how they're going to sit for now.






Moving things along, I had been putting off buying the Ultimate Edition of Halo Wars 2. I knew it wasn't really anything special as opposed to the regular edition but since it was Halo related, I thought I should. Also, along with that I bought the Master Chief and Cortana 1 oz. pure silver coins limited to 2,000 each. Would be really nice if I could get my hands on the dang console and controller.




And ending on a little statue this time is the Diablo Treasure Goblin that I believe were given to the Blizzard staff. Finally found one at the right price without any damage and included all of the shipping material. Nice, hefty little statue. I'm digging it and, so far is my next to last statue I need to complete my Diablo statue collection.




Thanks again guys for following me and my updates. I promise to show a really nice statue on my next update. I'm just waiting for it to come in from overseas. Some of you have probably seen it before but I wanted to show this addition with all of the other versions to give you guys a nice little all-in-one image.

It's funny too. As soon as I post the Halo coins, I saw that they created another one. What timing.

Really like the metal Treasure Goblin. A really neat statue and as you say I always knew it would feel really nice and substantial. I wanted one at one time as well but never did get into Diablo collecting a lot (I have owned 2 different press kits in the past though but nothing pas that and sadly they were ones that made the cut to be sold when i was broke years back).

Yeah, I don't blame you for selling them. You wouldn't happen to have any photos of them or a video unboxing or anything like that? I'd like to see that and determine if it's worth trying to collect.

I was the opposite of you in regards to the Treasure Goblin statue. Thought it was so out of place compared to the rest of their statues that I held off on it for so long. Glad I eventually caved as I do appreciate it now.
