I've got a few action figures and such. Most of them bought from clearance bins. They're all packed away except for a tiny figure of Cammy I keep next to my PSone fighting games.

gaming collectibles is a dangerous hobby. There is so much marketing and promo crap out there. You will find yourself with handfuls of junk in no time. There is a reason most of that stuff is handed out for free.

i've seen people with rooms of this stuff and it isn't pretty.

If you are going to collect, keep it focused and clean.

That's a good point. I think if I actively looked for gaming related collectibles I could end up with more than I own in games, lol.

Anyways, I really only have collectibles from pre-order bonuses or limited editions. However, I don't go out of my way to get a limited edition just for the extra swag. In fact, I just recently purchased Tactics Ogre for PSP and it happened to come with tarot cards, which I wasn't expecting, lol.

I do have some odds and ends like little Pikmin figures, but they hardly take up any space. :lol:

I also have some cool Nintendo Club swag.

Zone of the Enders is one my favorite series so I want to support what I can for it. Plus it just looks awesome.

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

EDIT:

Those posters are pretty sick!
