When collecting: Go for the big ticket or little tickets first?

After that, I tend to pick up cheaper games if I'm just trying to pad my collection for the sake of padding my collection. My only full US set is the BLISTERINGLY huge 14-title Virtual Boy set ;) But with that, Jack Bros was definitely my last acquisition, and Waterworld was 2nd to last.
However, the next full US set I have my eye on (absently, lazily) is Virtual Boy, and I'm currently eyeing up a copy of Web of Fire that someone's selling on a forum I'm on. I'm unlikely to buy it only because I'm trying pretty hard to pay down the last of my personal debt from house renovation (only about 2k... should have it paid off by tax return if not earlier), but I definitely was eyeing it up.

Did you mean 32x???

Yeah... I was tired when I wrote that. VB is what I have completed, 32x I'm considering going for next.

How long do you figure it's going to take to complete your set? I'm sorta hoping that I'll be done by March. I just bought 15 more <$10 games on ebay, so that puts me at 57 to go :D

I don't know. My shelf area is pretty full at this point and I need to expand into a new place. I'm trying to save up for a down payment right now so my "spending money on games I'm probably never going to play" budget is getting cut as a result. I'll probably stall out for awhile and pick it up after a get a nest egg.
