I have a stack of Playboys that I can't seem to part with even though I know I'll never open 'em again. 

cause the pages are stuck!

Beat me to it.




My dads got the first issue one with Marilyn in it.  Found it in a garbage can down in Alabama

Guess Marilyn wasn't as hot as BillyBob's sister.

-I have the entire U.S. Sega Master System library, sans the US-released Sonic (I have the PAL one, which is literally the same exact thing minus a UPC sticker and about $990 cheaper) and James Buster Douglas Boxing (which just went on the 'bay for $300). I'll have to shell out to truly complete the collection unfortunately

-I collect anything and everything Outrun - I have every major console release both U.S. and Japanese, just need to collect the portable versions

-Ditto for Phantasy Star

I have a collection of Boy scout patches/uniforms/ ect.  Also have a collection of scientific articles . . .

I thought this had to be gaming related...

I have a bunch of signed 80s horror movie posters and a large collection of horror movies on the now outdated DVD format.

I have an Atari Lynx with about 6 games

Sticking with consoles? Well, when you run out of home versions, you and Blue can fight over arcade releases:


For my "insignificant's", I have 11 arcade cabs, of which 7 are candy. Impressive to some, but for me it is Thursday.


Also, I have a DIY HT in my basement. Only thing I bought was a receiver for $100, everything else was hand-me-downs. Max res is 1024x768 for the PJ but I have 5.1 w/ the ".1" being a 300 watt 15" sub. When the lights go off, you can't see the clutter/mess.

Waaay ahead of you - I've got a deluxe upright Outrun cabinet and about $1,000 in NOS replacement parts ready to restore it with. And a non-suicide chipped revision B motherboard with custom ICs to enable extra features.

There was a motorized sit-down unit on Craigslist in Chicago but since I live in a downtown apartment, that shit ain't happening unfortunately.

I would purchase a Turbo Outrun cab but I refuse to acknowledge that turd of a game as Outrun canon.

Umm, I have a complete Sega 32X Collection?  Everyone hates the f*cking 32X.

Oh!  I have every release of Popful Mail:
Sega CD (3 copies), Mega CD, PC Engine (2 copies), Super Famicom (2 copies), PC-98 (all perfectly complete), plus most of the audio drama CDs and a cool looking Working Designs Popful Mail hat and pins. 
I really like Popful Mail a lot.

I'm going to have to disqualify this entry. Complete 32X collections look cool, see?

Also, everybody likes to collect them because it's such a tiny library and nothing costs more than $200.

Here's what an insignificant 32X collection looks like (no Blackthorne, missing 1/3 of the most valuable boxes, and I just ordered a manual for the Genesis version of Primal Rage because I'm too cheap to complete my 32x copy):

Is that Space Harrier for the 32X?

I didn't realize that was the size of its library.

Did Sega ever release a 32X/Genesis/CD combo?
