Forte's Mega Man Collection

Mother Fv©&er!

Well, what all is in that somebish?  Let's at least see some macro shots.

Also, if you don't mind my asking, what did it set you back?

[Forte]

This is what's inside: Rockman 1-6 PSOne Books versions and Rockman X7, plus the shiny badges. Cost me a Tricky Dick Fun Bill, but considering how long it's been out of production, that's about what I expected.

[wiggy]

That's not bad at all. I would have expected at least twice that much (not that I've shopped around for them or anything). Are they a numbered limited edition?  What did it retail for at release?  I gotta imagine it was at least 150-200 bucks.

Surprisingly enough, I think they retailed for 8900 Yen (which would have been 90-100 USD), but that was almost 10 years ago, and after you paid to import it that probably would have put it around 125-150 for US people.

me want. ill buy it off you for -100 dollars

Wow, had I known about it then I would have most DEFINITELY picked up a set. I always wanted the PS1 original MM titles, but buying them all would have cost I think about 40 bucks a pop at the time, and that was wholesale pricing through a US vendor that I used to have a relationship with

Me too, but I was in HS in 2003 and had no money. Didn't have any money until 2009 when my job started taking off. And by then, the collectibles markets had exploded. At least I got most of my stuff comparatively cheap compared to current prices.

[wiggy]

Yeah, I was just going back to college in '03, and that's when I was selling a LOT more than I was buying

So, are you gonna end up making a large museum-esque display at some point?  I know that's what I'd wanna do with a collection that's so freaking awesometacular!

[Forte]

Yeah, I've got plans in my head, I'm just not good at digitally representing them like you are

[wiggy]

Well, if you want some help making a quick model at some point, let me know.  Modeling up shelving like I did takes about 5 minutes. 

Draw a rectangle, dimension it, extrude it.  Repeat.

[Forte]

Sure I might just cave and buy shelving too lol I think I'd have it done in the office closet so I could close the shutter doors and keep light out. Still planning though...

At any rate, I just added this to my collection:

Edit: And this



Edit: And these



Not games, but I finally got the Kotobukiya 1/10 Mega Man, Proto Man, & Roll. They're custom sanded and painted and look really good. For good measure, I also got Sage Harpuia Harvest WKS. He's fragile as hell but looks badass. I got them for about 25 dollars each, a very fair price

[Forte]

Got a PAL copy of Mega Man X3 and a pirate copy of Rockman X3 in the mail today

[wiggy]

Shweet!

[BadChad]

Is that actually a pirate? Looks more like a reproduction. I thought it was sapose to look like this:

[wiggy]

I don't think it can ever be considered a repro
