What I find really impressive is the profesional tidy look the games have on those shelves. Really cool!

As of today I don't have any gaming collectibles other than a God of War's Kratos figurine I got for free. I plan to get a healthy dose of them sooner or later like some soundtracks (Phoenix Wright and Pokemon, come to mind), a Forretress and Taiko plushes or figurines and perhaps a poster, but I don't have much room for posters and a Periodic table should make it's way to my room.

Something I dislike about figurines is cleaning shelves with them. It's very annoying to lift them one by one to do it.

Hell yeah! I have some figures, old gaming mags, clothing, etc. You name it. MY wife just got me this pretty cool Nintendo themed Monopoly board game, along with some Mario Bros themed figurines(has Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool, Toad, DK, & Yoshi). I'm actually I little concerned with the condition of the old game mags though because they're in my parent's attic in a cardboard box. I don't have my Nintendo Power mags anymore though which would be pretty BA if I did. I know I still have Game Pro, Electronic Gaming Monthly, PSM, & Sega Visions in there though, all from the ealry 90s to late 90s.
I am addicted to video games, especially retro gaming from my era. I have: NES, SNES, Nintendo 64, Gamecube, Gameboy, GBA, Wii, Sega Genesis, Sega CD, Dreamcast, PS1, PS2, Xbox, and Xbox 360. I have probably over 1,000 games in total for all these systems combined. Yes, I need help and I wouldn't have it any other way! This is my passion and hey my wife still loves me!!

Yes I can't stand having my stuff slopped around. I bought two identical shelves from biglots even though I didn't have enough games to fill even the first. But I will eventually and I don't want a random assortment of shelves once that happens. I see too much of that =P

I'm almost regretting not having bought a 3rd. . . maybe this weekend.

A whole ton of gaming mags and strategy guides, a few gaming related T-shirts, and the usual extra stuff that comes with the collectors/special/limited/whatever editions of games.

And stuff like this....

I have a random assortment of them. My favorites is my Civilization 3 desk ornament - it is a plaster rock with the logo.

I've just started to get into collecting game guide books. Besides that, I pretty much stick to just video games. I do have a small handful of Mario and Pokemon plushies also.

I have random stuff. T-shirts, some soundtracks, figurines/toys, etc. I have this amazing ice cube tray that makes little space invader cubes. So awesome. I also have quite a few video game related books... but that's cuz I read them, not so much to collect. 'd like to collect more soundtracks, especially for shmups.

Got heaps of old gaming mags and strategy guides. My favourite gaming mag was the Official UK PlayStation, which was PSone based. I even own the last issue ever made which was in 2004. Amazing it was still going then.
