Coolest purchases/items in gaming collecting

[AppleQueso]

Everyone's pooping all over the OP, but I totally get where they're coming from. A collection focused more on interesting and unique gaming related items as opposed to building a library of 'classics' or favorites or something, I think that's perfectly reasonable.

A Nintendo Color TV Game unit would be a really neat thing to have in a game collection. Saw one in person yesterday at the CCAG.

Oh oh oh! A Dreamcast CX-1 would be so cool!

Happens all the time. It's called Rackethazing, to make sure our new members are tested in all the ways of the forums.

There were only a couple sarcastic/negative responses. Everyone else has been polite and helpful.

This is the first I've ever seen that term. Compared to almost any other gaming forum out there, this is some tame stuff.

1. It must look cool to non-gamers and non-collectors. The initial impression is key, of the room and of the particular items.
2. At the same time have some hardware that's appealing to collectors in a nerdy, technological way, of appreciation of the specificness of it more than of its price.

Get something of batman, everyone loves batman. Even the enemies of batman love batman.

Yeah, because I made it up.

The coolest gaming thing I can think of that would be worth owning is this modded R2D2 that houses a multitude of consoles. I want it so bad.

As I look around my game room... the biggest pieces that are conversation starters are my original system boxes or ms pacman/galaga cocktail arcade. Most anyone I know has had the experience of receiving a retro game console as a christmas or birthday present and remember what the box looked or playing one of these cocktail arcades at an old restaurant as a kid. The first question I always get it either "You still have that system!?" or "Does it actually still work!?".

That is amazing.
