Yeah I think this item is my favourite, I don't have much but I have some very nice items, this tops them all. I'm just thankful it didn't come through ruined. I don't know about you or anyone else, but I just couldn't stop admiring it! lol. I feel really sad in the knowledge of that but at the same time it's such a cool item I don't care! lol.

Signed MGS2 Substance and a PAL version VHS tape with an MGS2 trailer as well as other Konami game trailers.

My collection of signed items is getting pretty good, and I've got a couple potential private sales on the go that could result in a couple more pretty impressive additions. Myself and the seller are a bit off in prices at the moment though, so it's wait and see.

The VHS tape I got for 2GBP buy-it-now!! Even though it's not really valuable it is pretty rare. I'd have paid at least double for it :mrgreen:

My display case is pretty much at max capacity. Even after I unload some items I have up for sale I have even more on the way. I'll probably buy another small case and seperate everything. From MG on MSX to MGS in one case, and then MGS2-MGS4 in another one. If I buy a case big enough got everything it'll be just too big.

It's been years since I've owned a VHS player. The thing seems so ancient heh.

Even DVD's now seem obsolete to me. I won't watch anything not on blu-ray unless it one of my HK action flicks (I got about 200 of em).

Heh, I brought back about 100 from Hong Kong myself last november. Most are still sealed as I can only watch so many. I have almost every Stephen Chow and Jackie Chan flick heh. But yeah I know people who go to HK alot so they bring em back for me too. I try not to buy anything from mainland China though as they're all copies.

I've got a copy of that VHS in better condition. If I can find it, I might put it up for sale, since I hold no interest in it.

Not bad for 49.99GBP buy-it-now. It's probably worth alot more than that, but who knows. I mean, how often does something like this appear for sale.

Package includes the bag (tag still attached), compressed t-shirt (still sealed) and a full version promo "not for sale" copy of the game in round metal case. If anyone has a picture of what the t-shirt looks like open please post it.

Honestly if you really like this item I'd probably trade it for something on my want list that you can find on my site. No cash offers though, I didn't buy it to re-sell it.

Felt a bit short changed when I got my MGS4 LE and the game itself didn't come with a card sleeve so I had to get one, it's never been used and it's in top nic too!

Damn I wish I was around when Kojima and the gang were signing these bad boys in London!

The seller kindly offered to end his auction early and sell half of the lot he put on sale for a cut-down price. Very nice chap indeed!

Metal Gear Solid2: Bandee Dessinee is Japanese but speech bubles are english so it is quite watchable. No need to get Digital Graphic Novel on PSP as it has both Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2 Digital Graphic Novels

No, It will be only in japanese. This is because Digital Graphic Novel is already in english.

MGBD was the fastest item I have got buying online. It came from Japan to North Cyprus within a week. I couldn't believe it.

I really would like to have David Hayter as the voice of Snake in MGBD but it really won't happen

AFAIK, Flynn (Raiden's VA) said that he recorded lines for MGSDGN2, so I guess an english adaptation it's more likely coming in a not too distant future.

Do the DGN's (both in print and PSP) follow the Shadow Moses incident pretty much the exact same as the game or does it explore other events as well?
