Default What was your first collector edition game

Hi guys I just wanted to ask a couple of questions.

1. What got you into collecting.

2. What was the first collectors edition game that you purchased.

3. And what do you consider is your most valuable, your most prized possession in your collection. The one that you just love to look at everyday, and tell yourself that you cant believe you have it.

For me

1. I would have to say my dad because he has always collected baseball cards and coins and very old guns. So that got me into collecting cards and comic books when I was younger, and when I started buying ps3 games and saw the games that I was purchasing with a collector I will buy that instead of the regular game.

2. It was Mortal Kombat vs Dc Collectors Edition

3. This one for me is a tough one since I love my whole Uncharted collection. But since I have to choose one it will have to be my Ps3 console autographed by the Naughty Dog team. I just love looking at it and knowing that I am the only one that has it.

1. When I started working, I decided that I would rather buy CE games instead of standard eds, as I'd rather spend a little more money for a nice package with extra goodies, instead of spending £40 on a disk in a box... So because of that logic, I always look at getting a CE of a game I want. If there's not a CE, I will go without! XD

2. My First Collector's editions were Forza Motorsport 2 and Bioshock got the xbox. Got them both at the same time, when I got my xbox 360.

3. There isn't one specific item in my collection which I love seeing everyday. However, every time I look around me and see all my Zelda F4F statues, it always makes me glad that I have a full set, so far, and it hasn't cost me half the price of what people are paying to own them now!

I just liked to collect things, started off ages ago with Pokemon/Yu-Gi-Oh! cards and just went with it I guess...

First Collectors Edition I ever got was the warcraft 3 collectors edition for PC... that was really cool

Digging up old threads is hard work......

Sad that the OP is getting out of the game but life must go on

1. I bought my first couple collector's editions because I especially loved those specific games and in some twisted logic thought that the producers of those games deserved more of my money and in return i should get nice extras

2. First CE that I went out of my way to get was the US Assassin's Creed Limited Edition for PS3. Man does it have a tiny statue....

3. I have since really got into steelbook collecting and looking at specific steels in my collection makes me far happier than it should

I'm surprised that there wasn't more people who posted in this thread! >.<

With regards to my post in this thread, if you want to consider it, my Zelda GBA SP Minish cap bundle would have been my first CE, thinking about it! it cost about the same price as a CE nowadays would. Usual CE's 80-100GBP for a game with other goodies to promote the game. Zelda Bundle GBA SP bundle, A copy of the game in special packaging accompanied by a console for 100GBP. Same thing!

1. Well if you talk about collecting on game stuff it is my girlfriend, she kind of started it. Because she gave med the AC:2 Brotherhood Codex Edition for x-mas 1 year. And that kind started my collecting on gaming stuff. But I have kind of always collect on something. Started out with collecting pokemon cards of cause. And then I collect on icehockey pins and sew badges, from the clubs I have been and watch a game. That was my dad that started that collecting with me, and have kept doing it even after he passed away some years ago. Then also collect on hockey pucks with the different clubs.

2. The first edition I got was the Codex Edition, but the first I bought on my own was the AC:2 Revalations Animus Edition.

3. Right now I would say it is my Ryze and Tryndamere statues, that Xmo help me get. So hard to get them with out the price be crazy high. So very glad over I have them. They are just so nice

Not sure what my first CE was tbh, I always think I know, but then I remember that I got something before it, or realise it was actually Allan that bought it.

The first CE that Allan bought was the Gears of War 2 CE, he got that years before he even started collecting, just bought it because it wasn't much more expensive than the standard copy and he thought it looked cool

My most valuable/most prized possession... I really don't know. I value all of my things equally tbh, as there's not one that I like the least. I sometimes have a "favourite" but that tends to just be whichever one I've recently received, and then is replaced by a new "favourite" when I get my next delivery

Man, I suck at these questions xx

I was fan of AC for years, and one day before AC:R release on 1.12.2011. I had AC2 digital, AC1 and AC Bloodlines. I decided i am big fan, so why wont buy CE? So I bought ACR CE and started collecting.

Yep, as you now know my first CE was ACR CE.


I love my Codex ed. and Gift Edition. Also Auditore. I am not proud i have'em, i just love'em. Proud of Gift edition and AC2 Black. Will be proud of Master assassin.
