Gray Fox / "Ninja" Falcon-class (transparent gray-- 1 in 36 packs) Metal Gear Solid Trading Card signed by MGS translator and localizer, as well as voice director, Jeremy Blaustein, who also localized Symphony of the Night, Suikoden II, Valkyrie Profile, and Snatcher, among many other titles. He's such a cool dude. Love his sig,

5 FOX-type Metal Gear Solid Trading Cards.

Added a signed Kojima Special Card to the collection. These were randomly inserted into packs. The card on top was another 1-of-1 card inserted into packs. Cool to have 2 1-of-1 cards of Otacon.

Some more posters. All in all I have about 700-750 unique posters. Definitely am interested if anyone here has any RPG promo posters. Really a big poster collector.

Has anyone played Star Ocean: Blue Sphere? There are fan-translated carts going around, if you want to play it on console. I ended up beating it in Japanese long ago (barely understood what I was doing at the time), but I'm really excited that it is now available in English to play in one form or another. If you have played it, what do you think? I love how it combines Link's Awakening mechanics (slash to disperse bushes, dash, jump, explosives on cracked walls, side-view swimming, etc.) with Tales of Phantasia-style side-scrolling real-time combat -- and no random battles, either. I am utterly blown away by it, quite frankly. And that secret room you can only access by switching your game cart to a classic GBC -- The Game Boy Room, impossible to enter otherwise (the wall is invincible). Recently someone hacked their way inside on a GBC, and could not open the treasure chests, unless on an Original Game Boy. I personally think it's one of the neatest Easter eggs of all time, switching consoles to gain access to some of the top items.

Awesome, thanks for the tips and info!

Thanks, buddy! I hope to make a museum of classic Square! Someday....

Those chairs look INSANELY comfortable. What brand are they? How is lumbar support?

Thanks, my friend!! Here is another contest prize for Front Mission: Gun Hazard from Squaresoft for SNES/SFC -- the SUPER MISSION PRESENT! Only 500 issued.

Squaresoft SNES/SFC Bahamut Lagoon Special Contest Prize Jacket. Only 400 issued in 1996.

Hey there, I am looking for a Parasite Eve standee and the Aya poster with her against the museum. US version. Please let me know if you have them for sale or trade. Thanks!

Sure. Right now I don't have access to it, but I'd happily take photos for you as soon as I can. What's your website?

Awesome collection, man. Thanks for the shoutout.

I know some epic collectors who did. Those were the best days, huh? I'm friends with some of the Japanese composers from that time.

Squaresoft 1995 Tanaka Kikinzoku Jewelry Silver Pin Set, featuring 3 classics: Romancing SaGa 3, Front Mission: Gun Hazard, and Super Mario RPG. I believe these were gifts at a press event from long ago. Very nice, featuring detailed pins and an advertisement from the company for services they could provide like this. Truly a remarkably rare item from Squaresoft’s golden days, featuring some of its best and most unique games. Complete in box with everything, even the letter. Love the velvet case with the pop-out display. Definitely one of my rarest and most prestigious items.

Will upload more soon!

Chrono Cross Misproduction Factory Sealed -- Legit(??). Needs to be authenticated. Parasite Eve Official Doll Set, featuring Melissa Pierce and Aya Brea. Near-Lifesize Standee of Tales of Eternia / Destiny II Final Fantasy VI Complete Alternate Figure Set A Final Fantasy VI Complete Alternate Figure Set B

I still need to get this authenticated because I am not sure if it is legit or not, but if it is legit, it's pretty special. Chrono Cross sealed, with front insert backwards.

Really sorry for your loss, my friend. Right now, I am broke as broke can be, and usually only collect promotional stuff from stores. But thanks for thinking of me. I am glad this wasn't as bad as it could have been, and that your true grails are okay. You are very resilient emotionally. It is tough to lose what you so delicately curate. I know I feel awful when I damage a poster, and you know how easy that is, with them being paper. It's not a good feeling to see something you had perfect in damaged shape. Wishing you lots of lucky acquisitions in the second half of this year.

I've shown this in my own thread, but I figured I'd post it here since it is a recent acquisition. This is one of my holy grails, but I have quite a few I'd consider that. I really like items that are 1 of a kind. This is one such item. It measures 18 by 36 feet and is made of a thick vinyl. You can see it takes up the entire street. It was used at E3 on the exterior walls of the Los Angeles Convention Center in 2019, when FF7 Remake was being touted. Before the rating and release date. There was definitely only 1 of them made. I plan on showing more stuff from my collection as I make friends here.

I had a friend who worked at the convention center! He was holding on to it for me, and I bought it from him! Thanks for the love, my friend! There was only one, and it was used to promote the game in 2019!

Thank you, my friend!!! I am very excited by it!! Appreciate the love!!

The 18x36 foot E3 2019 ONLY-ONE-IN-THE-WORLD Final Fantasy VII Remake Promo Vinyl Building Banner! Weighs 35 pounds!! This banner was before the release date and before the rating! On the side of the LA Convention Center! The one and only! This is the hugest promo I have ever seen! I had to use panorama from a ladder to get that frontal shot. Just so huge. And so cool seeing the spotlights and details of Midgar in such extravagance!

Not quite one of a kind, but close! Contest-prize Blue Sphere shirt!

Here is a grail item I posted in the 1 of a kind thread. I have a few things like this. But this is my favorite. It's a 1 of a kind card from the MGS card packs. Basically a golden ticket akin to Charlie in the Chocolate Factory. Except it's not a ticket. 10 of these total, and 1 in every 3,500 packs. Otacon is my favorite character in the MGS franchise, so I am very happy to have this. And here are a few more posters from my collection.
