    Default Video game rarities to be proud of!

    How many people here can stand up and say that they own a gaming rarity which they are 99% certain no one else on DP has?


    What I am getting at is - It is quite easy for a group of collectors (Like ourselves) to get together and start bragging about their colelctions - But sooner or later a bunch of collectors will have pretty much the same things, so that kinda takes all the fun out of it all...


    Ie, it's all well and good saying you have a particular rare PS1 game in factory sealed condition, but if a handful of other people also have it in the same condition, then that makes it that little bit less special...



    So... List here any rare consoles of games (Or games in rare condition) which you think you are the only DP member to have.

    I'll start by pointing to the console in my sig - Limited to only 666 worldwide, so I would be very surprised to EVER meet anyone else in the world who also has one...

    That's kinda narrowing it down a lot....I don't have anything at all. The only thing I can think of that might not be a common owned video game item is a Gameboy Advance Display unit. When we installed the DS Display at bestbuy I took the gbasp display. I wish it still had the metroid fusion marquee in it instead of the dumb pokemon leaf green. Oh well.

    Sadly i dont think i own any games that are mega rare.

    I do have a gamecube though thats limited to only 150 in the world. Given out as prizes in a competition run by dengeki magazine in japan.


    I have lots of merchandise & promo items that im pretty sure im the only one.

    A complete set of japanese mario advance 4 e-cards inc all promos.
    A replica mario hat that was given out as a prize from club nintendo
    A rather rare japanese super mario world ball maze game.
    Plus lots more japanese tat

    i have lots of pics of it all on my homepage

    A shrinkwrapped Myriad 6-in-1 is all that comes to mind. Maybe my Mario cake pan? This doesn't seem like a baking group.

    Proto of the Ecco 32X demo which was used at CES to showcase the system. Unfortunately it is just a looping cinematic.

    I don't know of anyone else having Mario Kart 64 Collectable Trading Cards "Premire Edition". I really know nothing about them except they are supposed to have tips on them and i think they had to be special ordered.
    But i picked up 18 packs and the display box they were in for 5-10 bucks.

    Someone probably has some, but not that i know of.

    If anyone can give me info about them PM me.

    I have a demo disc of Max Steel for the dreamcast taken out of a kiosk from CompUSA. Should have a value of null, but I bet I am the only one with that pathetic bragging right.

    I own several rare handhelds: GameMaster, GamePlus and MegaDuck. They are not "one of a kind", but I never heard anyone talk about those here.

    I've got a US Konami wireless SNES controller that I've never been able to confirm was even released! I even took it to CGE and put it in the museum...no hits at all.

    I've also got a decent sized collection of rare Japanese print ads for Saturn, PC Engine, Famicom, Mega Drive, etc. They're virtually impossible to buy...I don't know anyone else that has all the ones I do.
