Let's SEE your Import Collection! (Not recent finds)

[Gameboy415]

Hey, how much did Lack of Love run you? Did you pick it up new or used? I've been trying to nail down a realistic/reasonable price for that game without the Ebay inflation.

My girlfriend got it on Amazon Japan for only 2000yen!
Most stores in Japan sell it for 8000yen+ though, so I just got lucky.

Finally got around to taking pics! These include US games aswell, but since I'm Norwegian and live in Norway, I guess those count as imports aswell!

Sorry for the lack of visibility of the Dreamcast, Saturn, and PS1 games. The Dreamcast collection is pretty mixed. Some platformers, some shmups, some puzzle games. Nice variation all together. The Saturn collection is mostly shmups, and some platformers and fighting games. The PS1 US collection consists mainly of RPG's. You can just zoom in if you're curious about titles.

Some missing games:

Stella Deus
Various PS2 US and JP games
Ys IV

Plus a good number of soundtracks and artbooks.

Got huge storage issues, as I'm fucked basically. I can barely fit in another PSP game and there's around 7 future titles I really want. Then there's the 3DS and I've been looking to starting a small JP GBA collection aswell.

[smallfish]

Man you guys have crazy import collections. I'm too embarrassed to show mine. Just two mega drive games, Gynoug and Daisenpu.

[Aussie2B]

I've been meaning to post in this topic for awhile. There's no way I can (or would, haha) take pictures of every import I got, but I figured I'd share some of my favorite themed collections. Here are two for now, and sorry that I stink at taking photos.

My N64 import collection (ONLY Japan-exclusives):



One is missing, however, because I saved it for my Wonder Project J collection:



Most of you probably aren't even familiar with the series, but I adore it. This is one of my smaller collections but also one of the most difficult. It's quite the special occasion when I finally get my hands on another piece for it. As for what you're looking at, yep, that's a manufacturer's box of Wonder Project J2. I got the official guides, most of the manga, a couple magazines with cover features, the promo pencil board, and the black book is purposely upside down because I think I'd be breaking some rules if I had it the other way up. :P It's a doujinshi comic, a hentai one at that. It's pretty nasty, haha, but when I set my mind to collect EVERY piece of merchandise related to a game, I include doujinshi, whatever its content may be. Anyway, I'm very proud of this collection, so I hope you guys find it interesting.

[SparTonberry]

My collection probably wouldn't be interesting to look at.
With my SFC games, I put the boxes in a storage tote (not sure if it'd be better to open and flatten all the boxes or just leave them piled up) and put the carts and manuals in other plastic bins for easier playing access. I've kinda wondered if I should put the plastic trays in the boxes or leave them out, as I could stack those to save space.
I'm thinking I should similarly separate my Famicom carts and manuals from their boxes. Just decided to play one of my boxed games and realized I dig through several boxes that are piled up in a drawer in a plastic storage chest alongside my loose collection.

[StealthLurker]

Cool stuff Aussie2B. Focused collections are always pretty interesting. Especially when it causes some really obscure stuff to bubble up.

[SpaceFlea]

Well, this certainly makes me want to post pictures of my imports. I have just shy of 1400 import titles CIB. If I get the time to pull them all down and take pics I'll do it - though it would probably consume a couple days easy. I could just take pics of the walls, but that's not as exciting... We'll see I suppose...

Damn, I want that Radiant Silvergun cabinet so bad.

[StealthLurker]

Shuffling some stuff to storage bins to make room for the next wave. A few more pics of the other parts of my collection:















A few older pics:

[importaku]

Decided to update my DS collection pics as theres been a lot bought since i last took them. Will get around to the GBA/GB/N64/Wii/GC/PS1 import stuff at some point but that will be a lot of pics lol, very little of my collection is actually domestic games.

Anyway heres all the Import DS stuff i have theres a couple of Usa imports & one Uk game lol.

Part 2

[Damaramu]

Nice collections guys! I think I'll take pics of my modest collection as well!

[Parodius Duh!]

whats the DS game that looks like God is smacking a vampire over the head with a club?????

[FoxNtd]

Haha with that description I had to scroll back up to see. It says ビックリマン大事典, Bikkuriman Great Encyclopedia. I never heard of it and have no idea what it contains.

[importaku]

The Bikkuriman game isn't really a game as such. In Japan Lotte has a snack that is a wafer sandwiched with chocolate, in each pack is a sticker & they are packed at random some of the stickers are extremely rare. This DS software has all the stickers all as an interactive encyclopedia, you can manipulate the ones that do interesting things like the scratch stickers & the hologram ones along with loads of others, only one to get if your a fan of the bikkuriman stickers though.

Weird......Japan.

[Aussie2B]

Bikkuriman is an anime (that started in the 80s), by the way.

Just for another bit of trivia, when Wonder Boy in Monster Land was brought to PC Engine, it was turned into a Bikkuriman game (since Sega owns the "Wonder Boy" name and some of the characters).

[Aussie2B]

I just recently bought a big lot of PC-FX stuff, but since I have my full collection (minus some dupes) in these photos rather than just my recent finds, I'll post them in this topic.

The hardware and some accessories:



The "Big Three" for PC-FX collectors. I would never pay the going rate to buy these singularly, so I knew I had to get them in a lot if I was to ever have them. And other than some limited editions (and even then I'm not sure), I believe Zenki is now the most valuable game in my entire video game collection.



Here are my big box PC-FX games:



And here are my jewel case games:



Finally, here are some mags related to the PC-FX, some demos, and the Anime Freak FX series (all but vol. 5):

[Breetai]

The point of this thread is to show off things that you have imported, not to copy and past pics from the Nintendo of Japan website.

Have you actually bought all of these controllers from Japan? Why not share your own photos?

[Famicomer]

My Famicom collection as of last year, about 1100 carts in this picture. Added about 100 or so since this was taken. Technically these aren't imports to me as I live in Japan, but whatever
