How many people have complete licensed NES collections?

MasonSushiMasonSushi
in Collector's Corner
My wife asked me last night, and I told her I would post the question
an see. Also do you consider having the Stack up pieces and the Piano
part of the "set" or just accessories? Some consider just having the
carts and others say you must have the pieces as well as the carts.

I am sorry if this has been asked before. I searched and couldn't find a topic. image

    Well it depends on the collector I would think. Cart-only collectors would only want the carts, but CIB collectors would want all of the accompanying pieces / boxes / etc.
  • nes_kingnes_king
    i have what i consider a complete cart/manual set, accept the F2 manual..



    and no i dont consider the piano part of the set.
  • srh201srh201
    jone is right... and josh, do you have a myriad?



    at this point, i dont know who has complete cib collections anymore... erik, dain, dream, portnoyd (i think), anyone else?
  • Mario's Right NutMario's Right Nut
    ^^ Dain has an SE?
  • ParpunkParpunk
    i have pretty much a complete liscensed collection. ive had them all at one time, but missing a couple comons here and there because i used them as donor boards to make some repros etc. but have ntsc SE etc. also had pretty much a complete unlicensed collection, but sold off my panesians a while ago.
  • DainDain
    Nope, I'm missing SE .
  • MasonSushiMasonSushi
    my question is for either CIB collections or loose collections.
  • wrldstrmanwrldstrman
    ive got all the licensed games and all the others but myriad which to me isnt worth the money being its a caltron cart.
  • Jumpman Jr.Jumpman Jr.
    I've got all the licensed and unlicensed carts. Including Myriad, Stadium Events, Panesians, Cheetahmen, etc...

    I've got all the boxes except for Stadium Events and Myriad, both of which I am perfectly happy without. (Well, not perfectly happy, but happy enough).

    Still missing 100 manuals or something, but I don't care that much to actively track them down. I do have a list, but my collecting for it is very passive.
  • themotherbrainthemotherbrain
    I can think of 3 or 4 people here that have less than 25-50 games to go. I'm a bit further away than that, but I am very close myself.
  • UncleTuskUncleTusk
    I'm down to around 40 items, box, cart, or manual, to have a complete cib set.



    I don't anticipate ever owning a SE or Myriad, any part, unless it comes on the cheap, or my get rich quick scheme pays off.

    IM cart only, what I have left is in my signature, as far as nes, I have all 677 licensed games, missing 4 unlicensed
  • themotherbrainthemotherbrain
    What's the fourth?
  • jonebonejonebone
    ^ I'm gonna guess Racermate because I know Sparky is also missing the SNES MACS cart in his SNES set.
  • vern77777vern77777
    I need 9 more and I'm done with the cart only.(except for the panesians and nwc)

    Mason,

    To answer your question I believe only myself and DreamTR have complete CIB collection of NES, both licensed and unlicensed.  I do consider the Piano (CIB) to be part of the set since there is a cart, box, and manual.  Racermate I'm on the fence but I do have it all except the metal pole thing to connect it to the bike.  Wilson (DreamTR) and I collect differently though as I have well over 1,000+ NTSC Nes with all the variations, I collect them all, he doesn't.  But then he has a sh*t ton of protos and I don't.  Hope this answeres your wife's question.  image

    If I were going cart only, I'd probably be near done. But right now the only huge thing I have is SE

    welcome mason.



    glad to see you finally join image



    and yeah, brave heart has the most bad ass collection here in my opinion.



    or from what i can see so far.

    I have a fully CIB licensed set minus SE box. I am missing the 3 Panesians and Myriad now for an unlicensed set.

    I have a complete cart only licensed set. 
  • VBForeverVBForever
    Complete cart only set here, PAL A UK set though.
  • RothRoth
    hmmm... Let's see, I believe I have the full NTSC Triffix collection.
  • MasonSushiMasonSushi
    Thanks for all these responces guys.

    So if we had to put a number on it what would it be? I guess you could start off by figuring out who has Stadium Events right? Going by the list on "Collectors Corner" the site says 23 people own it. Now of course that assumes they completed their collections (loose or CIB).Now I we know not everybody that has a complete set is registered here,let alone put their name on the list,  but what numerical guesstimate do you think we could come up with? I am referring to the NTSC collection.
  • xARSEFACExxARSEFACEx
    ^^^ I own a Stadium Events cart, but I've got a way to go before finishing my set. I've been collecting in reverse. I've got most of the super rares out of the way, but I'm still missing a ton of commons.
  • themotherbrainthemotherbrain
    ^I am taking that same path.
  • Braveheart69Braveheart69
    That's just it Mason... if you are talking Cart only collection then yes alot of people could get there assuming they have a Stadium Events the only other super tough cart to get would be Myriad. And if you are talking about licensed only then really the only hard hard to get is SE cart. But even that I would say there are 50 of floating around to be had from time to time with 1-5 popping up for sale every year. The manual there are less than 10 of around. The box maybe 5 or 6 of these are even around and most of them are known about, granted you are right not everyone who collects is on NA, but we invite them to join! image And of course sealed there is only 1 SE for sure with rumors of 2 others floating around.

    The real fun is when you start going for complete collections for the other systems... =P that's when your head starts to spin...

    sealed SE = 2 to my knowledge with a possible sealed case as an addition
