I recently gathered all my SEGA boxes and crowned one of my gaming shelves with their awesomeness. Funny thing is, I never really set out to collect SEGA stuff boxed, it just kind of appeared.Having realized that I was in possession of such a glut of radness I just had to centralize it all.

I have been getting quite a bit of Mega Man stuff lately without even realizing it, so i decided to make this a catch all finds/collection post. Now, I do not have the most extensive or impressive Mega Man collection, but it has never really been about collecting Mega Man games to me. The joy [...]

Pursuant to my earlier post which saw me searching my house for Club Nintendo registration cards, I received my Club Nintendo gift in the mail today! Say hello to 800 coins worth of Nintendo centric glory; the limited edition Club Nintendo Hanafuda cards. What are Hanafuda cards, you ask? Translated, the name means flower cards. [...]

Every video game collector has one… one game they really want, but cannot for whatever reason get their hands on. I am not talking about Stadium Events, or a Genesis Blockbuster cart, here either. The game is often times incredibly common, but for whatever reason it constantly eludes you at every turn. Take my own [...]

Not wanting to miss out on a chance a reaching Platinum status (achieved by having accumulated 600 coins [...]

Following a long tradition of screwing North American collectors out of special edition versions of their games, most recently with The 3rd Birthday and the Dissidia follow-up, Square-Enix has some explaining to do. First Dissidia: Final Fantasy, now this… I am getting pretty sick of having to import these from the UK. This is the [...]

A couple years ago In traded up from my loose copy of Chrono Trigger to a boxed copy. The only problem was that the boxed copy I (knowingly) traded-up for was missing the maps/posters and the box and manual were pretty haggard. My line of reasoning was that any Chrono Trigger boxed is better than [...]
