Most of us collect merchandise for the games we love. In this slogging post, we discuss what our favourite video game collectable is and why and the value behind some of our favourites. This Slack discussion by Jeffrey Harris, Nicolas Ng, Jose Hernandez, Limarc Ambalina, and I occurred in 's official #gaming channel, and has been edited for readability. slogging What is your favourite video game collectable, and why? Jack Boreham Mar 30, 2021, 4:11 PM OK, I think this counts. I managed to snag a JeffreyHarris-HackerNoon Mar 31, 2021, 1:50 AM Nintendo 3DS XL model with the NES paint job. I also, have a 3DS SNES edition as well JeffreyHarris-HackerNoon Mar 31, 2021, 1:51 AM That, my friend, looks fantastic 😱; I once tried to get my hands on a 3ds animal crossing limited edition version but failed. Nintendo put out some great themed consoles! I got this a while back from a . Although simple, I adore it; it looks the part and brings back down memories of playing the game. Jack Boreham Mar 31, 2021, 11:00 AM limited edition bundle of the breath of the wild The for sure. Not only does it come in a limited edition box, it comes with Dr Halsey's journal who is responsible for most of the technology that makes Master Chief who he is. The lore implications from that item alone added a lot of depth to the series. Nicolas Ng Mar 31, 2021, 8:06 PM Halo: Reach Limited Edition I don’t own it but I think the would be cool to own Jose Hernandez Mar 31, 2021, 9:37 PM Scorpion mask Jose Hernandez Mar 31, 2021, 9:37 PM Ok I'm a retro game collector so, I can do hours of this conversation, but I'll be tame. In my life, this was by far the coolest video game item I've ever owned (P.S. I made money on the side during college by selling swords): Limarc Ambalina Mar 31, 2021, 10:25 PM And yes. I did have the and Buster Sword (FF7) too! But what is the coolest collectible I have now? It has to be the original . TBH I haven't even played them, but they are super cool to have, especially now that Persona is such a popular franchise: Limarc Ambalina Mar 31, 2021, 10:26 PM fullsized gunblade persona games CIB for the PlayStation 1 Lastly, I can't forget to mention that I have in mint condition for PS2....this is like a $500 game right now: Limarc Ambalina Mar 31, 2021, 10:29 PM Rule of Rose All of these look awesome. Nicolas Ng Halo has some of the best merch out there; it all brings back nostalgia for me. Jose Hernandez, that would be pretty cool to own; I've never really got into mortal combat, but like might give it a shot soon. Jack Boreham Apr 1, 2021, 2:30 PM Limarc Ambalina, what a collection!! Selling swords at school is much more impressive than my side job of selling Pokemon cards at school 😂. How much would that sword be worth? Jack Boreham Apr 1, 2021, 2:36 PM On eBay, you'd find them from anywhere from $150 - $300. I'd found a local seller selling them for $50-60, and I was selling for $100 - $150 Limarc Ambalina Apr 1, 2021, 2:39 PM I might get back into collecting Pokemon cards; some of them are very collectable. I'm also thinking about getting some themed consoles. Jack Boreham Apr 1, 2021, 2:38 PM Like this Jack Boreham Apr 1, 2021, 2:38 PM
