Wow, I want that. I actually named my daughter Aeris and she understands a little bit about it. When she sees the character on a wall scroll or something, she says "Daddy, thats me" ... Id love to have this thing for her.

That's ridiculous.
I didn't know about this "ugliest art box ever" commentary that's been going on about that GOTY edition, but I guess it's being widely ridiculed.
PUBLISHERS Y U NO LEAVE BOX ART ALONE?
Ignoring the text, the image is still bad with the arm straight out of the left side like that, the fade to the right, the bat logo appearing several times, etc.

Looking around my work desk now I've got stickers from GTA IV, Bully, Midnight Club and Max Payne that I received from Rockstar. One of my larger items is a mini pinata that came packaged inside a crate with the Viva Pinata logo on it. Not sure if there are slides for this but I've got a black Viewmaster with the PlayStation 2 name on it. Another Sony item is an inflatable Ratchet. Some other things on my work desk that were actually purchased back in the early '80s include a sheet of stickers from the Sega racing game Turbo and a Donkey Kong Puzzles & Mazes book that I never wrote in.
If anyone wants to see all this junk maybe I'll take some pictures this weekend. I don't have a camera with me at work though and I'm off tomorrow. I did take a picture of my desk last year that probably shows off a few things.

If you view them in order here is what you'll see:
1. Some classic stuff. Pac-Man trading cards and stickers, a Pac-Man game (not sure what these are called, similar to pachinko), Intellivision PlayCable box and catalog,
2. Not very interesting, just some bags, notepads, press kit folders, and Soul Calibur II artwork from Todd McFarlane.
3. A lot of the junk I mentioned in a previous post. I've got a lot of stickers, postcards (the Castlevania item, other games underneath), and ads too. The little Deus Ex box under the football is full of mints.
4. Some Sega things, mostly Dreamcast press items. The zipper cases are nice.
5. T-shirts and a couple of action figures.
6. Not the best picture but behind the Star Wars items is an Exarch (canceled MMO) poster signed by Joe Madureira.
7. NeverWinter Nights art signed by a few people. Not sure who signed it but it doesn't appear to be the BioWare founders so I'd guess NWN artists. Got it with a press kit.
8. Advertising pieces I got from a toy store I worked at during college. Also, a Pac-Man board game.

No requests for images? :-\ Well, I took some anyway ;D I won't fill the thread with them though, and I'm not really sure they all belong in a novelties thread. If you want to see them here is a link: http://imageshack.us/g/407/adsgj.jpg/

Looks like some good swag to me! Yeah, maybe not novelties... I started this thread way back when for things like soap bars molded to look like Gameboys :)
How do you store these things? That's always the hardest part for me and swag.
Post by: atariboy on April 28, 2012, 09:13:47 pm
I have tons of "crap" from dumpster diving it's pretty much all packed in boxes in storage somewhere. I need to sort through all that stuff and get rid of some of it. it's just hard to let stuff go sometimes. ;D

Some items sit on the shelf in front of my games but most are in boxes either on the bottom shelf or in the closet. My games are crammed on two shelving units on one wall of a bedroom. I've got too much stuff to dedicate a whole room to games :-\

Also, if you do happen to find the original yellow one for the retail price of $25 or less, I'd say pick it up. For some reason, it's going for $50 and up on eBay nowadays...

I love stuff like this - I wanna do some vids one day where I show some of my weird collectables, pre-order trinkets (back when those were still fairly common), oddities, etc. :)
I have only hap-hazardly held on to stuff like this over the years, but have a decent collection of it. I have both car air fresheners and a visor cap for StarFox Adventures. Buttons for Dead Space 3, Army of Two, and Crysis 3. Two pre-order bonus 3DS shells for Castlevania, two of the Splatterhouse masks from the release of the revamp.
I also have temporary Pikmin tattoos from the GameCube era, and an Xbox "ladybug" game that, as I recall, came in a cereal box.

I have no good reason to get this other than loving Persona, but I love this "action pose" they chose for this figma:

Not colossally. That one can be preordered for $64, so about as much as a new video game.

Ah right, that's about £41 over here so that's not half as bad as I thought it'd be! I had this idea in my head that they cost upwards of like £100-£150 but I must've been thinking of another company
