[Grizzly]

Excelsior! i know there is more than a few of us out there! so lets look at some collectibles! we all know what random hero has, and what i have is in my signature page under photos. lets see what else this lovely community has! lets have it folks!

Your collection is brilliant, Grizzly. As you know I collect Sonic myself but have been only seriously collecting (as in actively searching for stuff) for about two years. I've not started collecting games for consoles I don't own/ variants of games as you have. I'm more concentrating on various merchandise such as toys/ figures/ plushes, comics, shirts, posters and so forth. Like everything I collect though, I'm only getting items I feel are quality. For example, some of the Sonic figures I'm not going to buy as I find the articulation points really ugly.

You can see photos of my collection both here on RC and on my Flickr account. I've not uploaded photos of everything, but it's probably about 70-80% of the items I have.

Of the items I have thus far, my favourite has got to be the Sonic chess board.

i love the chess board, i always considered getting on but i got worried about some box shots i have seen, it doesnt seem licensed when you see the shots themselves. but looks awesome out and in use!

[JoeMD]

I'm pretty sure it's licensed but I can check if you like.

Nice collection Grizzly, but just one question; do you have all the consoles to play all those?
I have a handful of sonic games including a couple of Boxed Game Gear ones which can be harder to find.

i have all the consoles apart from the sega pico to play sonic gameworld, only a matter of time before i get one though and which game gear ones do you have? if its sonic blast and labyrinth/tails adventure then you have some collectables on your hands!

one for any of you that want the Sonic set on GBA (none of the double packs though)

got my eye on the chu chu rocket and sonic advance game that just come up. less than a day to go at min bid, hopefully ill get lucky

[Aikola]

Unfortunatley my Game Gear sonic games are only 1+2 but they are in good condition, also why does that sonic bundle sellers name ring a bell, Joesupernatural.

[JoeMD]

All of my GBA games are just carts. I'm not too fussed about getting the boxes and mauals to be honest.

I preordered the Sonic Nendoroids figurewhich should arrive very soon. Can not WAIT!

Hi guys, i'm a Sonic fan too, this is my Sonic collection so far, i'm just collectiing all the games with 'Sonic' in the title for SEGA's own consoles, excluding compilations and double ups. Next will be the Dreamcast ones, would love to get the GameGear games but Labyrinth and Blast seem impossible to find CIB....

[Aikola]

Some nice games there, I really need to get my butt in gear and get myself a controller for my Mega Drive and get the later Sonic titles.

[JoeMD]

How much did that CID copy of S&K set you back, ozDCgamer? Every time I see it there are rather costly.

Hi mate, it was around $20 posted from the UK ... in fact all of them are from ebay.co.uk except for Sonic 1 and 2, big savings over aussie ebay sellers with the current exchange rate

That would be great, let me find the console, its been in the loft since the controller broke as I only have 1 space under my telly for a retro system. Ill send you a PM once I do.

Also I have a GBA Sonic Advance game but the box has ERSB on it, im pretty sure I got it from Hong Kong for like £4 along with a Super Mario GBA game, the game plays fine but im guessing its a bootleg.

Easy way to check GBA games is to look onto the pcb board, with a squint you should see Nintendo written onto the board, if that is the case then its real. if not then its fake
