Welcome to the forum

Great collection

eBay really is the best place, bargains can also be found at online classifieds.

Other than this forum and a few others there are few avenues for older editions.

Welcome

Can't wait for some photos

I usually use ebay for CEs, although at the minute I'm focusing on recent/upcoming ones rather than older, so on here has been a huge help

Welcome Alli! Look forwarding to ogling at your collection pictures...

As the others said, ebay is the main source for older games. Sometimes amazon has a thing or two hidden away in some dusty corner of it's site. I'm pretty good at finding stuff (so are a lot of others on CE.o) so if you're stuck and can't find something just ask any one of us and usually we'll be more than happy to help!

Really? I've had such bad luck w/ the powerup rewards. I've tried twice now to get the splatterhouse statue through them worth 8,000 points and both times they shipped me the statue loose in it's own collector's box - no shipping box used and no protection - they literally slapped a shipping label right onto the collector box. I was so sad and upset. Twice they ship it to me this way. I'm trying to get it sorted out...

The box both times was all scuffed/dented/torn. What you'd expect for it having no protection at all. You don't treat a collector's box like a shipping box you know? So not good experience so far w/ me and Powerup rewards...
