How far, is "Too Far" When it comes to buying gaming merch /v/?
>>344218948
buying any gaming merch at all you fucking man child kys
>>344219119
>Buying $300+ statues are somehow a kids hobby.
Name one kid who gets that kind of money. Go on. I'm waiting.
>>344218948
When in some years all that shit wont be worth the half you paid for
>>344219331
Nobody collects to resell. Those that do are idiots and money wasters. You buy something because YOU want it.
>>344218948
Two of any of those bookcase shelves on the back wall.
>>344218948
When you have multiples of the same damn thing on display 6+ times because reasons
>>344219614
This.
Collecting is fine, but do it within reason, display the shit you're really proud of, not every single toy in your mancave.
>>344219119
This.
>>344219457
And that will be your legacy?
Fucking trash that isnt worth a damm?
It better buy something that gains value
>>344218948
>world record for largest vidya swaghag
>95% is crappy flea market tier mario tchochkes
>>344218948
When it takes up literally every room of your house because you're an autistic kid who's mother literally buys them every single pokemon toy in existence and sacrifices her own bedroom for her collection to sleep on the couch.

Then you might as well go and buy stocks or invest in something.
"""Investing""" in figures is retarded
>>344218948
>buying anything video game related
HOLY KEKS
>>344220086
>Legacy
What? Who the fuck makes videogames their legacy? Unless you're a dev or some kind of competitive person thats dumb as hell.
You don't need your collection to be a "legacy" you simply collect because you want to and it makes you happy.
Your legacy should be what you do in life ie: Not videogame related.

Fucking gay desu

Whoa sweet $20 games, you gonna retire on those when they're worth 4.8 mil?
>>344219326
Macauly Culkin had more than that when he was a kid.
Oil Tycoons' grandchildren. Prince George. Lots of kids who work for Disney

Even if those are sealed, they've lost all value. Amazon sells OoE sealed for $20

you're trying to sound cool but actually it just makes me think that even a child would spend his money more responsibilly than a manchild
>Having attachment to material objects
>>344221589
When did owning something suddenly become "uncool"?
Its not autistic to own material objects. You've blown the whole thing out of preportion by because of a few over the top hoarders like chris chan and now think everyone is like him.
Do you get rid of your lawn mower because you can hire a gardener?
Do you suddenly sell your house because you can live in a dump?
Do you suddenly divorce your wife because you have a left hand?
Honestly.
>>344218948
>someone enjoys something
>"STOP IT! YOU'RE ENJOYING IT TOO MUCH!"
>>344221589
you mean like your body?
Ignore the shitposting in the thread
Real answer: Walk space.
Doesn't matter how much you own, if you can accomodate it, great, but if you have to improvise ways of getting around your own house for you, or other people, then its too much.
Wall to wall collections can be neat if properly organized and displayed, and not overstuffed and thrown together.
>>344222250
Well yeah, obsession of any kind is bad for your mental health.
>>344222392
Thought is also part of the physical world.
Not really gaming related but lately i cant stop buying bandai star wars model kits.
Been thinking of buying s.h figure arts star wars too.
Its addictive.
>>344222103
>When did owning something suddenly become "uncool"?
PCfags who think steam and digital code and DRM out the ass > physical copies you can play forever
>>344222526
>Obsession
This is such a grey area.
Say two people have the exact same collection, 20 figures, same year and model, etc.
Person one has been collecting for 20 years, and has made this collection by buying the toys every so often when they came out because he enjoyed them.
Person two has amassed the same collection in 3 months because he wasted all his money at scalper value buying a collection of something to show off his gamer cred online.
Is person A considered "obsessive"? All he did is buy one toy a year.

You changed the color of the arrow for all the text but the top you lazy fucking failure.
>>344224290
The orange part of the arrow has a blue pixel you worthless fuck.

>>344224906
There are still blue pixels in the orange.
>>344224992
I made up a mini poke-collection myself a few days ago. I wanted to avoid that exact mentality.
You guys should be collecting something of real worth like pic related.
>>344226817
I'll take that top left Gru for my Evil genius collection. Minions can go fucking die.
>>344220803
Imagine the dust
>>344222874
>Is person A considered "obsessive"?
Yes because he didnt realize hes too old for that kiddy shit and sell it for big bucks and move on with his life.
Owning kiddy shit is a sign that you didnt grow up/don't want to grow up. Its a statement. and until you learn to grow the fuck up and give up the things you love, only then will you be an adult.
>>344227554
If you're one of those lewd figure/figma buyers, sure.
>>344227652
It's just always crazy to me when anons on this site try to say what's socially acceptable and what's not, as if they have any grasp on society at all
>>344218948
>its better than nothing
With enough money and autism, there is no "too far".
>>344228061
This would be pretty neat if it didnt have all the boxes and plush on top.
Its too much, and its too crowded, People need to learn that if they're going to display their collections, they have to make it look presentable.
Museums have spaced out displays, not everything crammed into one tiny glass cabin
>>344228061
$5 says that guy backed MN9 for at least $1000.
>>344227554
What is this from?
>>344228061
>>344228290
Something like this?
>>344228729
YES. Exactly what I was thinking. Everything is nice and contained to the shelves, and the top figures aren't too intrusive, and actually look nice.
The plush are just way too much.
>>344228061
>All that Battle network and starforce trash
Yuck.
>>344228554
Check the title.
>>344222793
what?
dude, you need digital PC shit in this day and age. when was the last PHYSICAL PC game that wasn't just a digital key on a disc?
ive been PC gaming for about 25 years and at the very least, my old big box shit is worth something and i can resell it. it doesn't need to connect to the net for patches or day one dlc.
>>344226930
dude, i want a collection for Evil Genius.
also, a sequel that wouldn't suck.
>>344230381
thats why consoles exist.
Here is mine
>>344230894
THANK YOU.
I've been looking for your collection, I meant to save it as a reference point,
I love what you've done with the shelves and I wanted to try emulating the same kind of thing.
Actually if you don't mind me asking, Custom shelving? Adjustable?
>>344229553
>not liking Battle Network
>>344218948
when people start referring to you as "that guy", or you're most noteworthy trait to others becomes that you collect an insane amount of stuff that can't even be enjoyed by anyone other than yourself
>>344225597
>I wanted to avoid that exact mentality.
>has something with reshiram
so close
>>344231127
No it is just shelving you can buy at target or walmart. Thanks so much for the appreciation. Yes the shelves are adjustable.
>>344231687
Its the B/W collector's guide, I can't help that. Its not like a reshiram plush or figure or anything.
I just don't want a Gen 1 shrine. I love Gen's 2, 3, 4 and 5 all the same.
I am however considering getting the Chandelure in >>344219627 Didn't even know that existed till today.
>>344231830
No problem man. I saw your post a few weeks ago and kicked myself for not saving it.
I made custom tiered shelves myself for my nintendo stuff, and another for my Sega, but when I saw the ability to space it out and have room for some actual boxes and such, I got to thinking.
>>344231908
>Its the B/W collector's guide
it still looks pretty good regardless
is that a plush of pikachu wearing a sailor outfit with a team aqua hat to the left? thats pretty cute
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPyhlybViJw
>>344218948
I got from shirts from Nintendworld
>>344232493
Yeah its the WCS Pikachu I'm not a huge pika fan myself, but I love Maritime/Pirate stuff, and his pikachu caught my attention. Plus its team Aqua.
>>344225597
Whats on top of the pikachu's hat?
>>344233035
Galvantula, Favorite electric type and damn near favorite pokemon.
>>344233174
Joltik is cuter.
>>344233727
I love both equally.
>>344232168
Whats your steam name anon? Ill add you.
>>344225597
Hate to be an asshole but, why that knock-off kyogre of all things? The eyes are all fucked up and it looks like it wants to be put down. Kyogre is my favorite so it genuinely triggers me
>>344222392
Yes, that's why the Buddha was against indulging the flesh
>>344220313
The fuck kind of Mario is this.
>>344219627
>All Nintendo stuff around
>Ps3 hooked up
wut
>>344235508
Its not a knockoff, thats how the pokemon center Kyogre is.
For some reason Kyogre is all sad, and Primal is all derpy happy.
It was bought at the Pokecenter itself, NY. So its no knockoff.
>>344224320
I shitpost from public libraries.
>>344230894
I genuinely like your setup, but your organizing triggers me.
Good:
>PS3 section, good display of the ratchets (didnt know QFB had a physical)
>Second shelf 360 lineup
>Gamecube/wii shelves
>Handhelds on stands
>boxes below
>Diablo showcase
Bad
>Consoles above
>PS4 all over the fucking place, seriously why? youve got some above with the PS stuff then more waaaay down with the Xbox. Organize that shit.
>Buying a vive let alone keeping the box
>Those precariously stacked PS1 jewelcases
7/10 pretty good, but fix some of that mess man.
