Welcome to the officially-unofficial thread for video game collectors on Famiboards!
Do you have a big collection that you’re oh-so-proud of? Or maybe you’re just starting out on your collecting journey? This is the place to post pictures of your recent finds, favourite pieces, personal memorabilia, or anything else that you consider part of your collection!
But first, some Not-So-Frequently Asked Questions:
What things are eligible to be posted in the thread?
I’m so glad you asked! Anything gaming related is welcome here: games (retro, modern, or anything in between), consoles, figures, strategy guides, collector’s boxes, merchandise, that Metroid Prime cardboard cutout that used to be in GameStops across the nation — the options are limitless! There are no restrictions on what games you can post memorabilia from (so long as it doesn’t contradict site rules), so share your stuff from any console generation or manufacturer. If it’s part of your collection, we want to see it!
Should I post my whole collection, or just a couple things?
Listen — you’re overthinking this. Share whatever images or text you want, whether it includes your entire collection in one picture, or just your latest or greatest pickup. You can also return to this thread whenever you get new stuff that you feel like sharing, so even if you’ve posted before, feel free to keep us updated with new posts!
I’m really proud of my collection. Can I brag about it here?
Duh. This is the place for you. It’s good to take pride in your collection, and this is your place to show it off!
I don’t have enough stuff to consider it a “collection.” What if I only have a few things? Or, what if I just collect modern games?
Listen to you, being a dumb-dumb. If you’ve got even ONE video game, guess what?: that’s your collection, and it’s totally welcome here. This is a gatekeeping-free thread, so if it’s something you want to share, it’s definitely worth sharing here… even if it’s your only item!
Why am I still reading this FAQ?
I’m not sure myself! Go get your camera ready and get posting!
