A long time coming

[Dreamcazman]

First off, let me apologise for not introducing myself earlier. I have been a part of these forums for a while now but for one reason or another I never got around to doing a formal introduction of myself until now, so here goes...

I'm a gamer from Australia, married with two boys. My wife and myself run our own small computer IT business dealing mainly in service, but also do sales and installations.

I have been hooked on computers since I was around 10 (35 now) when my mum bought me a Commodore 64. I can still remember having to load cassette tapes which took nearly an hour just to play a game!

I've had pretty much every console over the years but never really started seriously collecting until the current generation of consoles. I favour the Xbox 360, but I also have a PS3 which I rarely use. I try to buy the CE editions of games I really want, those I'm not too fussed about I just get the standard copy.

Besides games & CE's, I also collect gaming figurines, strategy guides and steelbooks amongst other misc stuff. I've only just started collecting a few games to keep sealed, the rare ones I have are Demon's Souls Deluxe Edition and the recently aquired Dead Space Ultra Limited Edition, which is my most treasured piece now.

I haven't gotten around to taking any photos yet, I'll try to in the near future, but anyways, hello. I'm happy to be here.

mate and enjoy your stay here!

Do you also collect on PC? Especialy those amazing big boxed games of early 90's and so?

Really looking forward to see pictures of your collection.

Ok, sorry guys for the delay, been busy with work and family commitments.

Anyways, got some photos done today, hope you enjoy.

First off, my statues and action figures.






















I made the display case for these, maybe it should've been bigger.




Next up are the game guides and other books, most of which are still sealed.













Too many Xbox 360 games, there are more behind those.




My Steelbooks.




The boxes for some of the bigger CE's




And my Gears or War Lancer




Now, this is where I keep the majority of my CE's. As you can see I'm running out of room.










Notable items in my collection that are my most prized include Demon's Souls Deluxe Edition (sealed) Dead Space ULE (sealed), Dark Souls Press Kit, Sonic Generations Press Kit, Dead Island Treasure Edition & Dead Space 3 Dev Team.

Just for added interest I thought I'd add these photos of a couple of arcade sticks I built when I had more time on my hands.
















Let me know what you guys think!

Wow, you have a great collection. That Dead Islands Treasure Edition is so lovely.

[AndyTheCollector]

Beatiful pictures, great collection! I love that Infinite statue, I checked it now and it's quite expensive and limited one.

[Harlequin]

DAMN. That is a brilliant collection. Being 13 years of age, my collection is relatively poor. Calling it a collection is an overstatement. haha
