Starting and updating my lil' collection (:

in Collector's Corner
Hey folks! For the last few years, video games meant to me the following: A lot of boom, lots of action, mega detailed graphics and for the most part only Triple A games! Call of Duty, Titanfall, Battlefield, GTA, Big and Bombastic! Until March of this year. The Nintendo switch was released and I, who was actually NOT wanted to buy a new Nintendo console, got a switch.   The question, which game I have bought with it, does not have to be asked at all, because of course it was Zelda. My first video game in my life was Ocarina of Time, the last part I played was Twilight Princess. I went in without much expectations - and I was completely enchanted! No idea how many hours i spent in Breath of the Wild , but it has finally opened my eyes! A game does not have to have the best and most up-to-date graphics, it does not always have to explode and bang trough the headset speakers! And that's exactly why I've played a lot of indie games and some old classics, especially Zelda games! Now I know why so many are talking good about Majoras Mask, because I'm playing it now!

Anyway, long story short, I got a CiB Ocarina of Time to put it in my glass cabinet. Then I found a CiB NTSC version... and now I have 2 VGAs, 3 sealed games, 2 Japanese imports and its own wall for it! I started with all this at the beginning of May and even though I have already collected a little bit (which is not a comparison with the extreme collections here, but I have a small purse), I wanted to post my little developments in this thread here and post little updates time to time. I hope to find here some equal thinking people and maybe a few tips or recommendations! Shoutout at this point to acidjaguar, which already helped me so much (update to it later).

Although I have several games in my collection, I am concentrating on Ocarina of Time & Majoras Mask right now (because the money, you know)! My current requests and looking-for's:

Ocarina of Time NTSC Sealed (or Graded)
Ocarina of Time JAPAN Sealed (or Graded)
Loose Ocarina of Time Collectors Edition Cartridge
Ocarina of Time NOT FOR RESALE Cartridge
MINT Ocarina of Time (Limited Edition) Guide US and JAPAN
Majoras Mask NTSC Sealed (or Graded)
Majoras Mask Japan Sealed (or Graded)
Loose Majoras Mask NTSC Cartridge
Loose Majoras Mask PAL Cartridge
Majoras Mask NOT FOR RESALE Cartridge
MINT Majoras Mask (Limited Edition) Guide US and JAPAN

Please contact me when you can help me or know where to find for a reasonable price (: And now pictures of the collection!

    Welcome to NA.  Feel free to post pictures of your collection and updates here, but the best play to advertise what you would like to buy is in our "Buyers Forum (WTB)" Located here: http://nintendoage.com/forum/categories.cfm?catid=56



    Just read the sticky at the top to get you going.



    Enjoy the hobby, Sealed Zelda stuff is really popular (zelda stuff in general) so you will find a bunch of like minded people.

    Yeah, it's not intended to be an 'WTB' - Thread, it's just a little note on whats comming next and what i'm looking for (: But thanks for the kind words! And yeah, it's true, i see alot of Zelda collectors around here! That's pretty nice!
  • Bort License PlateBort License Plate
    Man, PAL Majora's Mask has such a nice box. PAL Ocarina I'm not a fan of though 
  • FunkymonkeyFunkymonkey
    Yeah, that's true   The black background looks totaly stupid! But most of the PAL games have a big black border around them, which looks even worse!



    Anyway, a little Update: A few days ago i bought a sealed Ocarina of Time Collectors Edition and i think about getting it graded @ VGA! I will update if it's done or if it's getting a low grade   Big shoutout again to acidjaguar, whos handling all this stuff for me inside the US, because i'm european!

    Meanwhile a few days have passed and there is a small update! I am going to equip my collection in my gaming room with LEDs, as soon as that is done there is again an update with photos. My Ocarina of Time Collectors Edition arrived at VGA and is getting graded, next week I should get the rating and in about 2-3 weeks it should be with me. Thats the biggest thing i've been waiting, searching and looking for. I hope it gets an 85 (+)! On Friday, I also received another piece for my collection:

    Since I am not at home at the moment, it takes a little bit until I fit it in my gaming room. Do you have any tips for me how to display VGAs of current games (like a gamecube game) the best? I would like to hang it on the wall, but i dont want to damage the VGA box. Any tips? (

    I use these mini-easels that I get from the dollar store.  They hold the games nicely and I suppose you could figure out a way to screw the easel to the wall and set the VGA item on it?  here is a pic of my shelf using these easels.
