The Show Off Your Sets Thread (any set you like, personal, full, system, series, whatever!)

[goldenpp72 | 1,229]

So one of the things I did on NA was to try and earn set badges, it helped guide my collecting a lot and gained focus/knowledge on stuff I may not have known about. I have likely dozens of things I could post over time but figured I'd set the tone with stuff I already have and see if others want to post cool stuff. Like I said, you can post whatever you like as long as you personally feel it fits, no shaming  Some of my pictures are old and need to be redone to be up to date, so I'll do that over time.

I'll copy over some from my show-off thread: 

Every Layton game (have Katrielle on Switch, not 3DS, and I wish I had the Blu-Ray of the movie but oh well)

Every Metroid Prime game (since taking this pic I managed to get the Target Napster variant of 2)

Every PopCap game for Nintendo DS

That pico set is cool as hell

Props for the Popcap thing, I had a lot of fondness for their output for a brief period and this basically illustrates it

I completed two more sets today: 

(well, with Etrian Odyssey I'm missing the original releases of 1 and 2 on DS, and I don't plan on rectifying that)

[anruiukimi | 29]

My crowning set is my Dragon Quest/Warrior collection; I maintain keeping at least one CIB copy of every US released Dragon Quest game...even if it's getting a bit ridiculous with the DQXI releases.  I don't collect label variants, though, I used to have two variants of DW1, but I sold the extra some years ago. I also have a Metric ton of DQ merchandise, most of which I'll spare you all here. 

[goldenpp72 | 1,229]

Never knew they did a Theater game for DQ, shame it didn't make it to the US but always fun to find out.

Yeah, I haven't played it too much, but it's fun! Just like the FF ones, as you can guess.

I have a sealed first press (print) that both has the "bonus" sticker and an external bonus item. It was on my list in 2017 when I was nearing a complete portable Dragon Quest collection (spin-offs included). But decided to get it in 2020 because it was one of those niche items I may not see again. I consider it an honorary piece of my rebuilt collection, as it contains content from the original Dragon Quest games. 

As for it being a Japan exclusive... Region-based reasons. It is also why I carefully planned my return to Japan in 2017. A smaller version of the Dragon Quest Museum was available and Dragon Quest the Live was happening in USJ. Examples on how different the fandom is there, versus here. With 2017 me adding events tied to Dragon Quest XI.

Here’s a couple more...

 

[goldenpp72 | 1,229]

I def want to retake pictures in my new spot vs my old but i'm still cleaning up so here are some.

[chuppy44 | 56]

4 whole games whooooaa!! (and no, the SNES one is not actually sealed)

It seems this is probably the only complete set I have with more than 3 games, despite my sizable collection overall. But I have many others that are SO CLOSE:

Castlevania (only missing manual for Dracula X )

Klonoa (only missing cart for Empire of Dreams, though I had it at one point)

Banjo-Kazooie (only missing box for Grunty's Revenge)

Ratchet & Clank (only missing All 4 One, wasn't planning to get it but I just realized this when looking at the first post)

Metroid (only missing the spinoffs: Pinball, Hunters, FF)

Panzer Dragoon (only missing the remake)

Earthworm Jim (only missing box for EWJ3D and also Saturn EWJ2 since that is more a remake than a port)

Silent Hill (missing the PS3 ones, used to have them both)

ooh, collections, huh?

Katamari Kollection (not counting the M****soft one because I'm a well-brought up boy and don't speak of such things):

Dragon Quest main series on DS/3DS/Switch:

[MiamiSlice | 3,089]

Recently completed the Raiden series:

And here’s the complete North American Art Academy series:

Is he dead yet...?

I think that constitutes a slaying, yessir.

No swag at all but here's a couple loose items that don't really count and an extra sealed OoE:

The intact hangtab could make CV1 the real centerpiece of the set as opposed to my relatively beat up Kid Dracula, though who can say? Personally I think owning Kid Dracula is cooler but I've never been a condition sensitive type.

*EDIT* I knew I'd end up forgetting one thing, though I don't think I'd count this as part of the main set anyways

I finished this one a while ago, but it's a bit more of a beast than you'd expect. I wish it had a volume 6 (T), though.

What’s wrong the the Microsoft release? That’s the only katamari experience I have and I loved it.

Some smaller sets that I haven't seen posted yet.
