Xtincthed Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Another year over, time to look back at what 2012 brought to your collection! I've recorded a video of the 5 items I got in 2012 that I consider the best additions to my collection I'm curious to see what your top 5 is and why you choose those 5 (or 3, or 10, or 100 whatever you prefer ^^) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xtincthed Posted December 31, 2012 Author Share Posted December 31, 2012 For starters, Xtincthed, I was saddened to see you give the Playstation Collecting site over to Nintendo Age. I didn't give anything away I started working with NintendoAge to make sure PlaystationCollecting.com will stay alive the next decenia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+thegoldenband Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 In terms of gaming enjoyment, my favorite addition to my collection in 2012 would be hard to pick. But if we're talking deals, then my top 5 would look something like this: 5. Intellivision Truckin' CIB (missing one overlay, but has map) - $3 4. N64 Mario Party 2, Mario Party 3, and Super Smash Bros. - $10 total 3. basically sealed Vice: Project Doom for NES - the equivalent of under $1 2. box of 40 Intellivision CIB games (including World Series Major League Baseball), plus a basically CIB Super Pro System - $75 1. 27 Genesis, 17 SNES, 35 PlayStation, 17 Saturn, and 12 N64 games, plus a half-dozen other games for various systems, plus assorted systems, controllers, memory cards, and other paraphernalia filling 8-9 cardboard boxes - $20 Best of all? Three out of five of these were actually my fiancée's finds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadow460 Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Oh heck. My best finds in no particular order were probably an Inty 1 console and a 5200 controller with a Rev 9 flex circuit. Third would probably be a GamCube LAN adapter, fourth would be the Raiden Project (which I already have, so I left it behind), fifth would be Shuttle Orbiter.
