    Good news and bad news everybody.

    Fraggs Magazine has officially stopped their monthly circulation, and will now produce a weekly mag featuring sales charts, a top 10, and a few reviews. It's a good direction for the magazine, but, sadly the Hoarders feature was cut.

    I'd like to thank everyone who shared their stories and collections with me, and who showed an interest in being a part of Fraggs. You all remind me of why I started collecting myself, and I really do appreciate it.

    All of this was not in vain. The two interviews I conducted that were never printed will be featured on my blog. Other collectors I haven't interviewed yet may also be featured. Some of these stories are just too grand not to share and I need to get back to regularly updating my poor neglected blog.

    Again, thank you for the interest, and we'll see where everything goes from here.

    Nick

    Sounds like a fun thing. Too bad I don't have anything grand to show either. around 320 cib games and some castlevania swag and a bit of merch. I'm a PAL (female) collector though if that's of any interest.
    Dracula: The constant villain of the series. His usual tactics include breaking a number of wine glasses and transforming into his true form.

    Are back issues (print) available? The site had some issues.

    That's a really good question, but one that I don't readily have the answer for. Let me get back to you on that.

    Finally! buzz_n64 gets his due as his interview goes up on retronick.com. I know it's not a magazine, but his collection is still out there for the world to see.

    Check out his massive amount of NES games and his consoles converted into tissue boxes here: http://www.retronick.com/2011/10/hoa...ollectors.html
