What do you collect?

[D&P3]

So I went and got the Skyward Sword posters from club Nintendo a few months ago
(It's different for every region, I'm in Australia BTW, Idk if they're offering these world wide).

And yesterday I got another poster and a note saying that there was a design flaw on one of the posters so they sent me a replacement.

Does anyone know what the design flaw was?

I've been looking at both posters for about 20mins and I'm still scratching my head.
Either I'm freaking blind or the design flaw wasn't that bad.

Will post pics if requested


Edit: This is now a thread about things you like collecting.

Apparently they didn't color the wing tips on the bird's left wing.

[D&P3]

Gotta admire Nintendo for fixing their mistakes...

Even the ones not really worth noticing.

Thanks, I can finally see the difference now.

Can you say "collector's item"? That might buy you a car if you sell it to the right geek person.

[D&P3]

Yeah, maybe in a few years time.

[Malson]

Can you say "collector's item"? That might buy you a car if you sell it to the right geek person.

I imagine every other person who received the replacement is thinking the same thing, so I'm not too sure it'll yield much of a profit.

[EvilM00s]

Meh, my prediction only.

Step 1: Purchase poster.
Step 2:
Step 3: Profit.

What? Its not going to be a collectors item. Its a poster.

[Irock]

Uh, there are movie posters that go for thousands of dollars.

[Kokowam]

The funny thing is that you'd expect people who are that crazy about the franchise (especially one this old) would have it in the first place.

Yeah, but this is Skyward Sword. Not Casablanca.

[Irock]

I'm just sayin that posters can be collectors items!

[TDS]

These days it doesn't take that long for things to become overpriced collectibles.



Release date? February 22, 2011

Price before Christmas? 24$

(I know the price has gone down, but this is an example of how ridiculously fast prices fluctuate.)

[Dwarra?]

Vinyls are a great example of how stupid prices can get.



This album isn't even 10 years old yet

[Holkeye]

Something being high priced doesn't make it a collectors item. We have radiant historia at work for $20. Although, I guess you're right irock. I collect guides, so those are collectors items to me.

[TDS]

At the time of that price Atlus had mentioned that there was not enough demand for a new print of the game, so that made each new copy a collectible item since no new ones were going to be made. They changed their mind recently though and are making a new print of the game.

Also anything anyone is willing to collect is a collectors item, it doesn't matter if it's not rare or just plain stupid.

[D&P3]

Damn, with prices going that high, I'm freaking happy that I bought every game I've ever liked already.

But the poster comes in a set of three so I couldn't exactly call it a 'collector's item' without adding the other two.

I think I'd like to ask what everyone has an affinity to collect.
For me, I like collecting games.

I think I like collecting posters as well, but maybe I'll only keep that enthusiasm until I've actually covered my wall.

How about you?

[yuyu!]

Collections, eh? I'm a pack-rat.

I collect video games. Probably my biggest collection. I like to collect stones, namely Agate and Crystal. I also collect fun shirts and, of course, fan items. I've got some Zelda stuff, and a shirt and autograph from my favorite shooter ;0 (Top Shot Season 3's winner, Dustin Ellermann). I have some Naruto stuff that is collecting dust and is very old. I'm not longer interested in the series, so I should probably get rid of it some time. Trouble is, I keep forgetting it's there.

[Holkeye]

As I said earlier, I collect guides. I have almost 250 right now. Most of the older ones that I want, but don't have, are between $40 and $200. I've paid a decent amount for a small few of them, but I'm not yet at the point where I'd like to pay a hundred dollars for a guide. I'll take pictures sometime.

[D&P3]

I know what you mean Holk.
There are some games that I wanted to buy, but I really don't feel like paying a ridiculous amount for them.

Out of curiousity, do you actually read any of your guides or do you only just collect them?

But wow, 250, I don't think I could ever collect that much of anything. 

[YellowPepper]

Much like Yuyubabe, I used to collect stones. Unfortunately, my collection went lost after I moved out of the house. Besides that, I don't really see the point of collecting something. Well, maybe it's because I don't value objects

[EvilM00s]

I collect calligraphy equipment. I do a lot of writing, and every time I see a shiny new nib (a pen tip) or a bottle of brilliantly colored ink, I just HAVE to have it. I use them, eventually. Since I'm wiccan, I use it lots to write in my book of shadows. On that note, I collect herbalism equipment; you know, flasks, beakers, antique looking bottles, and of course the herbs and plants.

I used to collect Warhammer 40k models, and I do have a Space Wolves army, but the hobby has gotten- well- bland. It may yet have it's day again, so I keep them around.

[IAMFORTE]

I used to collect WH40K too XD then the store near by me closed...and i had no one to play with : (, i managed to collect all those childish collectables (yu-gi-oh, pokemon etc) in rather large quantities

[Moss.]

I collect pictures of beer I've enjoyed. Well, really, I collect beers ... in my stomach ... I guess.

150+ so far.
