I got that coin, too! I received it a few months back at the Smash-Fest event. Actually got 2, because my boyfriend gave me his  That way I can display both sides at the same time!

Any rec. on how to display it? BestBuy gave me the coin in a damage plastic case and has a small nick on the top of the coin.

You could frame it in a nice little shadow box and put it up on a wall somewhere.

Thats a good idea, but do they sell Shadow Boxes that small?

I would imagine you should be able to find one a some kind of specialty art or framing store. I'm not sure exactly how large those coins are or how small of a box you're looking for though. I'd check at a Michaels store if you have one locally, they have a pretty good selection of frames and shadow boxes for displaying things in.

I like the shadow box idea! I was thinking of putting them on a little stand or something...Like these tiny easels that aren't called easels but I forgot the name, on which people often display their handheld systems. But on a smaller scale, of course.




As for pick-ups, I don't have them in my hands yet, but a friend got me a nice haul from a guy he knows!

I don't mean to be a jerk, but I believe that The Sims 2 and Star Wars: Empire at War are bootlegs. I've seen that same cover header on some bootleg games I've found in this region, not to mention the T rating in an European game...

Nice finds, though.

Hm? I thought they looked pretty official - I mean I've seen that type of box around before, but I'm relatively new to PC collecting so I'm not sure. But hell, they work and they still have manuals so it doesn't matter much, well, not to me at least
Bit of a shame though. I'm trying to get a full Star Wars game collection so obviously I'll want the best possible versions of each game so having a potential bootleg is a bit of an annoyance.

Double check, I might be wrong. There's some weird companies out there.

You may actually be onto something. I've scoured eBay and Amazon and I can only find one version of Empire At War similar to mine, and nothing for Sims 2. Maybe I just happened to stumble upon some random US imports or maybe they were released under a different range by another company, but there does seem to be a good chance these are bootlegs. But, like I said, if they are bootlegs, at least they're good quality bootlegs, eh?

Trade in day at the game store and got a few things I've been needing for the collection.  In particular I got the Time Crisis package, mostly just for the gun, so that I can then look to get Resident Evil: Dead Aim one of these days lol

I'll give you a dollar for that Four Swords. I have it, but mine is sealed.
