I got some VERY odd looks at the frame store when I laid out the cash to have these bad boys done up.

EDIT:

Very impressive. My posters are just hung up with thumb-tacks.

A little bit. Nothing specific. I have a decent amount of sonic stuff, but no interest in buying every single sonic item in existance. Just stuff I think is cool.

If I happen to come across something cool, I will get it. I currently have old Pokemon guides, which include special pikachu edition for R/B/Y, a Prima one for G/S, and an offical one for R/S. I have some Gameinformer issues (197 to current), the black ops issue of xbox magazine, a Sega Genesis poster, and some action figures of Luigi, Shy Guy, and Master Cheif. Not sure if this counts but I have a Charizard plushie as well.

I would love to get a life size Buster Sword and Keyblade eventually :mrgreen:

I never look for collectables as to me games / hardware is more important than them. If I come across them and they are cheap I tend to pick them up, but only really cheap.

I have lots of cool stuff. I've got every Nintendo published Nintendo Power, the Mega Man 9 press kit, some statues, and several items I've won at the Child's Play Charity Auction.

I just grabbed the boxes of magazines that were still left at my parents house, so I have all my Nintendo power and NP guides that I got over the years I was a subscriber. Gonna be interesting to reread through them again.
