FireHazard51 | 2,043 Social Team · Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 I was just rando searching ebay and saw some promotional stuff for Playstation. What is everyone's favorite non-video game thing in your collection. Sometimes I find myself surprised by what exist that I didn't even know to look for. I'm not asking for what is rare specifically but things that you just really enjoy owning/displaying/using. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlternatorDelux | 60 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 I have a ChuChu Rocket card that you get for sending a postcard to Sega with a code after finishing all 2,500 puzzles in the Game Boy Advance version. The number on the card is 19, and I got it in 2005. Does that mean only 19 people sent in for the card in 4 years? 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twiztor | 848 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 i don't really understand why i love it so much, but i have a DK64 promotional banana that i just fucking adore. i can't remember who mentioned it back on NA, but i grabbed it off them. i'm sure if i thought more, i could find dozens of other things but this is the first thing i thought of. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering if you beat all the puzzles because you liked it that much or knew there was a prize at the end of the tunnel. Lastly, did it take you 4 years to beat all the puzzles? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlternatorDelux | 60 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 No, I had no idea about the prize. I didn't buy the game at launch but it was a very long endeavor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanooki | 4,930 Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 I got this around a decade ago now. Kind of one of those things you see in the day when it was on point at a store and wish you could ask an employee for it and just couldn't. I have it hanging near me over a comfy chair just in case it ever took a fall, never has thankfully as it's in excellent shape on both sides (and no cracks.) 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gandalf1 | 26 Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 (edited) I used to collect patches that I thought were interesting looking. One of my favorite is one from the Activision game Freeway. It's a patch of the game box cover with the words "Save the Chicken Foundation" on it. You would get it by sending in your high score n a photograph. Pretty cool little thing.

T-Pac | 7,513 Graphics Team · Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 I've got an affinity for arcade-sticks, and I hope to ultimately have one for every system I own. But my favorite would have to be my trusty NES Advantage. -CasualCart 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RH | 4,895 Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 (edited) I've posted about this before but most of my gaming-related stuff from my childhood I sold off through college. Not sure why, but I held onto a SEGA promotional VHS tape for the Saturn. I didn't get a Saturn until around 2017, but man this weird tape made me really, really want one. (Note: Photo stolen from eBay.) I also have a complete set of PSX Underground discs for the PS1. I've been wanting to play through all of them but since I don't have an extra 10 hours each day, it's on a big pile of gaming things I want to do which may never get done.

fcgamer | 4,719 Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 These are mine, easily, and it's the type of stuff I'll likely never sell, even if I cash out: 90s Taiwan lotto scratch off cards with Mario World. I got two boxes, occasionally I'll toss one in when sending off a parcel to one of my friends. Diddy Kong lighter. This is made of metal, quite old too... Mario paper dolls... Alright so I bought the Pac-Man lotto card a few months back, it's modern and I think it'd licensed. I actually don't care about it too much, but I think it fits in well with the rest so... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Nintendo Chalmers | 53 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 (edited) One of my faves would be this Super Mario World game chair: This was sold here in Australia in retail stores around the game's release.The chairs sold in Australia had plain black wheels, compared to others overseas which had coloured wheels.

Matchbook | 194 Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Years ago my wife and I were in a local game store and saw a painting by a local artist. I loved it, but it was way out of my price range. She found the artist on Etsy and bought a print of it for me. Ecstatic! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When was this and was this an item you picked up at the show as a kid? I posted an old picture because my pennant is still in a box somewhere, but identical items on ebay have a 1989 date. Pretty sure I got this at a garage sale somewhere as I'm way too old to have been a kid in '89 and my one and only trip to the ice capades was sometime in the 60's. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My grandparents won it at an auction for charity in 1995. Freaking love that thing. Pennants are so cool! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
