A little something from my collection

[CanisCanemEdit]

Hello everyone! I've been lurking around the forums and homepage for at least 5 months now and decided that it was high time for me to finally register and be a part of the collector community.

Here's the abridged version of who I am and how I got here as there will be plenty of time to mingle over details later. I am 28 years old originally from the Philippines and residing in the United States. I have been collecting odd bits and ends be it in the form of promos, guides, standees and whatever glorious video game merchandise made its way to my home since I was 18 years old. I truly love video games and everything about them. Playing a video game and being able to bring forth emotions and attachment from an otherwise inanimate medium is the stuff great games are made of and what compels me to continually support franchises and companies through the purchase of special editions, autographs, reviews, video game related merchandise just to fuel that 'Gotta catch 'em all' mentality.

I'd like to consider myself fairly hardcore in video games as I have been playing for some time and sincerely believe it is a medium of art, but I am most definitely open to anything that I don't know about or haven't experienced yet.

Hi! ^o^ Welcome to the forums!

However, I must say...



jk I look forward to seeing some pictures of the many items you have acquired over the years. I can imagine it to be quite a haul in 10yrs! lol

Enjoy your stay!

And so, without further ado, let the games begin!

This is a microscopic reflection of my entire collection which encompasses both video games and figures. Funny story about figures is that I got into it because of my love of video game characters and it spiraled into a beast of its own. I'm in the middle of many life changing choices, so a lot of my things have been hanging in limbo.

To start things off, here are some SE/LE/CE that were in plain view sight at my place









I have no idea where my family stored my other MadCatz and Hori arcade sticks, but there are (2) MadCatz and (4) Hori missing from the picture.






Here's a nifty little item specially made for Breath of Fire III and given to only a handful of press and employees. I've been told that as little as 20 or 15 of these are in existence.





Here's the inside of the humidor box with various video game plushies because I haven't decided to take up cigar smoking




Devil May Cry decanter set that was given out to a handful of press and Capcom employees. I was told that this decanter set is limited to 20 or 15 as well.





Various Bioshock giveaways that I've wanted for a very long time such as Quain's Journal and the different kinds of splicer masks.




I remember I did every thing humanly possible to try to win one of these whether it was trying to clock in the fastest time on the Uncharted Home obstacle course and entering and placing third in an Uncharted tourney. Boo!





Here's Kos-Mos of Xenosaga fame. Just one of the many figures/statues in my arsenal.

Thanks for having me guys!

Wow! Very nice! So jealous of your Bioshock masks! >.< I saw them on ebay sometime ago with a pretty hefty price tag on them... >.< They were being sold individually I believe...

I see you have a Tales Of Vesperia Steelbook... I never did pick up one of those when ToV came out, and now I'm kicking myself.... >.<

Those Breath Of Fire boxes must be very limited, as I've never seen one before. lol Not that, that accounts for much. There loads I haven't seen or heard of! XD Looks very well made though! My GF would like those Harvest Moon plushies within! lol What's that in the lid of the box...? o.0 The three round things... Loos like speakers...

Very nice! ^o^ Look forward to seeing more when you find em.

Welcome to the forum.

Wow you have what some consider their holy grail, Uncharted 2 Fortune Hunter Edition.

Some really nice items, can't wait for more.

Nice, the Femme Fatale TE stick! I was thinking of importing one but there were only 2 left on amazon/ebay at the time and costed a fortune.

[foreverflash]

Really impressive Canis. Looking forward to many many more picture updates. Perhaps if your collection is so large you can do a video?

And ya, Fortune Hunter Edition...

wow



(that's a serious understatement but all I could muster)

[AndyTheCollector]

and enjoy you stay here! Really nice pics especially those Bioshock masks!

[buttah42]

Awesome collection! Some very rare stuff you got there. Definitely liking the xenosaga statue. I'm also into collecting statues. Put some more pics of your statues when you get the time
