10 year anniversary on Nintendo Age
Wow how time flies, I can't believe its been 10 years since I have been able to call Nintendo Age home. I am not on here nearly as much as I used to be, but I have made so many great memories with all of you. I put together a little Photo history of my collection over the years to what it looks like today. Thanks to everyone that has helped me with sales and trades. I've made more awesome friends here than I can count. Here's to another 10 more years!!
Love, Penguin
Humble beginnings in 2006

Things start ramping up in 2007, My favorite year of finds, pulling Dino Peak for $15 at a flea market!
The obcession continues in 2008/2009
2010, This is getting very serious now!
]
2011 New apartment and new setup!
2012
2015 The gameboy collection is taking over the center. I also aquired some amazing signs including the fiber optic NES sign, superbrite Gameboy sign, and LoZ Links Awakening shield sign.
2017 Added another shelving unit. Highlights from the past two years, expanded my CIB Gameboy collection to over 50% completion. Picked up the last few remaining Test cartridges I needed (all except Zelda)! Getting close to finishing my Unlicensed NES set with the aquisition of Cheetahmen 2, finishing off my Tengen and Camerica sets.
Overview of the majority of my collection
My 50% complete Gameboy set!
Penguin's Nintendo Service Center corner!
A closer look at the glass case of Test equipment sexiness!
Repair center binders, Employee training binders, press and media kits, and my beautiful Zelda sign.
Some black box and Capcom sets
Shelf of rarities, and factory sealed favorites
My VGA NES games
A bunch of my Unlicensed NES set
My set of Color Dreams Micro Genius black cartridges, still missing 3 games!
Random shelf of loose carts and some boxed Virtual Boy and GBA games, and some modern games.
Thanks for taking the time to share in my memory lane experience!

Very nice how you have taken pictures over the years. I wish I had done the same. Bah...
Good stuff, man, love the mix of signage too.
Honestly surprised you were able to find ANY of that signage or repair center stuff local.
Thanks for sharing Penguin, good to see the collection progress.
I have to know the story behind the stanchions in front of the gameboy games. Was there someone that couldn't keep their grubby mitts off them?
Haha I found that by the trash compactor by me work one time. Thought it would look cool in front of the games, sady there wernt more.
Amazing collection and I love the advancement over time.

Haha yea its all about networking and knowing where to look.
Love the pics! Congrats on 10! Nice that you found a Dino Peak for $15 at a flea market lol. What was the going rate for it back then?
It was around $150-200 at the time.

Geez I didn't realize it was so much back then, nice score!
Amazing to see what your collection has become man!
Super jealous of that Link's Awakening sign! It's my favorite Zelda title by far!
I'm a bit curious of that light blue NES cartridge framed with the artwork? What's that all about. Don't recognize it? there must be a story?
Hey there! Great pictures.

That's King Neptune's Adventure by Color Dreams. The artwork is of the original sketches from the manual, which I purchased from a friend who bought out Color Dreams and Wisdom Tree.
