Re: Show off your collection display
Didn't have time to post it up yesterday as I was too busy completing my website which is live now!
Visit: shadowmoses.jonathanpthomas.com
It's not finished yet cos I have a few things I'd like to iron out, individual pages are all up though, but they are by no means finished articles.
Hope you like it! And if anybody wants to swap links, let me know. Also, if you find any wrong info on there, let me know, I'll update it accordingly.
Adding:
MGS4 Steel Tin, T-Shirt and French Press Kit.
What's inside the press kit:
I have the neck stap in the mail and all I need is the MGS4 Rollerball Pen and a Special MGS4 Issue of "L'Ecran Fantastique" to complete the set. So if anyone can help me find those, I'd appreciate it.
You can see my complete overview of this at: http://jonathanpthomas.com/shadowmoses/ ... unch-pack/.

Re: Show off your collection display
Y'know what, I totally saw the pen somewhere. I think I was sifting through ebay france. To get the remaining items though you may have to buy a bundle of items and end up with some duplicates. That tin case is awesome.
Very nice website btw! email me the banner you want me to use and I'll add you in my links section

Man, that's smart. Using blog-tools to set up the collection. I really like the page. The random banner however is a bit annoying. But cool tough.jonthomas83 wrote:Didn't have time to post it up yesterday as I was too busy completing my website which is live now!

Thanks mate, I appreciate the comments, even though the banner was my favourite bit! lol. Yeah, it was a eureka moment when I thought of wordpress, I worked hard to get it to go my way but I'm more than happy with the result.

Re: Show off your collection display
Well, I mentioned it before, but I have made contact with someone that does business with Konami and meets Hideo Kojima personally a couple times a year. I just got this in the mail off him today.
What sucks is he's been getting things off him for years and I just met him now!
Hopefully it's a sign of more to come. I'm definately going to frame the letter with envelope. At least I can watch the blu-ray disc now as my other copy is sealed heh.

Re: Show off your collection display
Haha you got no idea of what happend today Remember how i stacked up my MG display? very stupid of me. I carefully picked out Sons of Liberty by Ashley and sat down in the bed, and just when i was about the open the book a shitload of things fell down at the floor. I had no idea of what happend, but the books had fell over the MGS and MGS2 section, and tipped the things over. The good things were that only the kubricks, MGS, MGS special missions and the MGS soundtrack hit the floor. However those cases explodes into 3 diffrent parts!
I was able to put MGS back togheter, but some things at Special Missions were broken, so it breaks when i open it =/
I guess it's back to ebay to find a new

Re: Show off your collection display
No way, that totally sucks man, sorry to hear about that. It's horrible when stuff like that happens. It happened to my Back to the Future box set the other day and I was devastated, but that wasn't nearly as rare as the MGS stuff that you dropped. I'd be distraught if any of my MGS stuff broke like that.gixo wrote:Haha you got no idea of what happend today Remember how i stacked up my MG display? very stupid of me.

Some very nice Metal Gear stuff there. I'll post my collection tomorrow sometime. I just started seriously about 4 months ago and I don't have a great deal of stuff but what I do have I treasure.
Violent Snake's stuff is just awe inspiring.

Re: Show off your collection display
Well, after a trip to the post office....
The poster is actually REALLY glossy. It took a few tries to get a decent picture as it was so glossy the flash was "showing up" too much on the pictures. Almost a photo quality type paper.
The original owner has had this sucker framed for almost 11 years. I can't believe how amazingly mint it is. No creasing, even very slightly, anywhere. I'll get a frame for it in a couple days, when I find a spot to put it I'll put up a picture. My current MG art wall is too full, although I may take down the gigantic Old Snake and Raiden MGS4 Gamespot posters.

A friend I met a few months ago. In fact, look for the "COMING SOON" poster on my site with Solid and Liquid Snake - he may have another one of those for sale, but it isn't cheap.

Thanks man. We've spoke before on other forums. I'm Johnny's Cage at SGH and Solid's Snake at MGS forums.violentsnake wrote:Hey thanks man welcome to the board!

My current collection is not too bad. Always looking to expand it, it's just a case of when I have the money to do so.
I have the following items:
MGS premium package
MGS 2 premium package
VR missions - 2 copies
MGS 2 - 2 copies
MGS 3
MGS 4
essential collection
20th anniversary collection
MGS Integral - PC version
MGS Gameboy Colour
MGS artbook
MGS 2 cigarette case, lighter + ashtray. Lighter is just a petrol lighter, not an official Zippo.
I think that's it. I'll take some pictures later today.

Re: Show off your collection display
Welcome aboard man, nice collection you have there!
I really want to get my hands on a good condition MGS premium pack, don't mind if it's open. I'd love to see pictures of your collection some time. I want the GB Colour game too!

Re: Show off your collection display
Woohoo! finally got one!
I know it's not sure rare, but I refused to pay more than $35 for it sealed so it took a while. Yes, I'm pretty hard-nosed about what I'd pay and what I wouldn't, despite collection size. I've VERY rarely ever payed more than I wanted to for something.
Oh jonthomas I got my keychain holder from that dude in Austria.
I also scored:
MGS2 (original japanese version sealed)
MGS2: Substance (original japanese version sealed)
MGS3 (original japanese version sealed)
All for a mere $99US! I think all I need is Document of MGS2 and I'll have all the USA/JPN Metal Gear Solid titles sealed except the "greatest hit" re-releases and the gameboy one. Oh shit and also the MGS2 premium pack. I saw one listed on yahoo japan but it doesn't meet the condition standards I'm looking for.

Re: Show off your collection display
Gixo, I've said it before, but that's a really nice collection mate. I'd love to own the MGS3 Steel Tin edition and the MGS2 with a Steel Tin (yes I have an unhealthy obsession with tins! lol). And I want MGS for the PC now too just to have the cool box and better graphics!
And that papercraft snake in a box is ultra cool!

Re: Show off your collection display
Thanks mate! Even thou you got a nicer collection. I had to re-arange my shelf so things wont fall down at the floor again . And i wanted all stuff on the same shelf (damn, that premium package takes some place). Snake is a little close to the edge, but he shouldn't fall. I will probably hate myself when he does

And i finally figured how to put these magazine cut-outs on the wall without making holes in the paper

Re: Show off your collection display
The sealed MGS2 in the tin case is awesome. I know alot of collectors and seen alot of collections and I've never seen a sealed one. I think I mentioned that before on MGSTUS heh.
If for some reason you ever even consider selling/trading it let me know. I don't give a crap how much shipping from Sweden costs heh.
