I'd love to see people's collection displays. Wether incased, shelved or however. Even if it's not just Metal Gear. I love viewing other collections no matter what the size so please use this thread to post a picture and show it off!

They were just taken with the cellphone (so don't expect much), and I haven't finished restructuring (hence a lot of stuff is missing):

- Side shelf
It is a work in progress =P The turntable, headphone amps, vacuum tube amps and general audio stuff have taken a lot of the game collection space lately.

:shock:
Holy crap that's alot of games! Very nice. Do you list/inventory your items? You got so many games you'd almost have to keep a reference somewhere so you don't end up buying the same game twice by accident heh.

Yes I do keep a database with my stuff, bt so far I can always tell if I have a game or not, at regarding all systems but Atari VCS 2600 and NES (since several of those games were donated to me, and though I've played them I didn't buy them).
BTW, I changed the pics for slightly better ones.
The last link I placed has a
list of most of the games from around 6 months ago.

I still believe sealed stuff counts higher on that scale =)

You have two copies of Metal Gear 2 Solid Snake :shock:
You wouldn't happen to have an extra copy of Japanese Metal Gear for the MSX you would like to get rid of, would you?

No.. Just solid snake, for sale if anyone is interested... Manual is a bit creased and it doesn't have the board that goes around the cart, so price is negociable.

How much for the manual? I've got a good condition box/cart/registration card/cart board already, but no manual.

Sorry man, I wouldn't sell the manual alone... though it is not in the best of conditions I'd rather wait and sell it to someone who wants the thing as it is.

Sure, that's understandable. Let me know if you change your mind, though.

My Metal Gear "art" wall.
The Old Snake and Raiden are just too big too frame. I'd have to buy custom frames so I'm looking at about $400 or so for the pair if I want decent frames.
As you can see I'm almost out of space, which makes things a bit difficult as I have 4 more posters on the way (3 MGS3 promos one which being the rare Eva poster, and 1 MGS:PO poster). I think I have another wall I can use for them though.
Plus, I'm heavily considering:
It's on Yahoo Japan with a hefty $500 price tag, but it is triple signed and it's a roll up not folded poster. If I can get Rinkya to ship this to me in a plastic PVC pipe instead of a cardboard tube I'm probably going to bite the bullet and buy it.
I'd like to get a display for my vest, but with the amount it costs coupled with the room I have left (I'll have to start rotating posters soon) it's probably not a good idea right now. Plus my wife will only put up with so much Metal Gear on the walls heh.

That 20th Anniversary MetalGear 1 poster is seriously cool. Had no idea it existed.

Y'know what, the guy I bought it off have might even have another for sale. He's in the industry so he has some really cool promo items.

I'd love one, but I can't really afford to spend much more than $30 at the moment. I don't know how much he'd want for it.

I noticed he sold one on ebay recently for $91 I think, so I'm sure he'd want something close to that (mine was a bit cheaper)

good mail day!

First Bite Soundtrack x4

MGS3 Promo DVD Vol.1

MGS3 stickers

MGAC!D sticker

MGS3 Promo DVD Vol.2

MGS3 Reservation ticket (given out to those who lined up to buy the game at midnight in Japan)

Ga-Ko alarm clock w/pre-order bonus keychain

MGS3 Bible, anyone know what this is? it's sealed so I can't open it

Big Boss advertisement (plastic material)

Eva advertisement

My second sealed copy of MGS3 Corporate Shareholder version (yes, I would trade one)

It's getting pretty crowded in there
Anything I own I have multiples of, I am open to trade. Contact me privately as I don't think it's appropriate for the thread.
The sick thing is these aren't even the good items I got today. I've got 3 posters that are so tightly rolled it'll take quite a bit of time until I can safely and easily fully unroll them and take pictures. Plus I'd like to have frames ready for them to go in. The Eva one is now my favorite MG poster in existence (yes, I've seen the MGS4 theater one). I'll have pictures up sometime this weekend. Still about a dozen or so items on the way.

MGS3 Bible - I dont know what it is exactly, since I don't have it nor have I seen it reviewed. But the chinese characters on the cover translates to: "Complete survival technique"
So I am guessing its some kind of strategy guide, similar to the Ultimania guides for Final Fantasy.
