    Default What collections do you plan on completing one day?

    Hey everybody,
    This seems like a thread that would have allready been done, but it didn't look like it.
    I'm curious about what collections people plan on completing one day. I ask this because I sort of have an idea of how the next few years of collecting are going to pan out for me. I'm not sure why, but there are collections that I see myself completing one day, but just not today.

    To make this more inetesting, make your posts into different time-frames. As in:
    "I plan on completing these within the next 6 months:"
    "I plan on completing these in a year:"
    "I plan on completing these in 2 years:"
    etc...
    If you think you're going to complete a collection next week, by all means write:
    "I plan on completing these next week:"

    I'm not sure if some people are like me and envision what they plan on completing. Or even if they are able to complete libraries as fast as I, but just do as much or as little as you like.

    --------------------------------
    I plan on completing these within the next 4 months:
    Sega 32X (CIB)
    Sega Master System (boxed)

    --------------------------------
    I plan on completing these within the next year:
    NES
    N64 (boxed)

    ---------------------------------
    I plan on completing these within the next 18 months:
    SNES
    7800 (CIB)

    ---------------------------------
    I plan on completing these within the next 2 years:
    Vectrex (boxed)
    Odyssey 2 (boxed)

    ---------------------------------
    I plan on completing these sometime in my life:
    Colecovision
    Sega CD (complete)
    Sega Saturn (complete)
    Dreamcast (complete)

    Hmmmm...............


    I plan on completing my USA Sega Saturn collection (complete only) in the next year.

    I plan on completing my boxed USA Nintendo 64 within the next 1-2 years (again, complete only)

    Maybe Sega Cd one day. Who knows.


    That is all.

    Probably none of them. It's not so much the money factor that keeps me from completing a collection as it is the crappy games. I can't stand owning crappy games I'll never play or never want to play. And well, every console has at least one

    As of now, I'm more focused on collecting for a specific franchise, rather than a console.

    Over the next year it'd be nice to complete NTSC-US collections of the following (not taking into account cover variations, only different console versions/ports etc):

    -Resident Evil (not terribly close to finishing this one yet, many various versions of ports out there)
    -Silent Hill
    -Suikoden (technically I have this complete currently)

    Including imports as well:
    -Shenmue
    Currently Playing: Limbo, CoD: MW2

    I plan on completing my NES collection within the next 18 months. It would go faster , but I simply muct have every game CIB (sitting at 500+ CIB now).


    Anyhow , I have a few side projects though. Sega Master System : maybe 18 - 24 months.

    Virtual Boy 24 months

    Intellivision : 24 - 30 months


    I really like taking my time on these though. I dont want to get burnt out.

    I would eventually down the road like to buy another TurboDuo and replace my old TG16/Duo collection I had when I was younger and the stuff was new.

    Sigh....I remember going to TRU to buy those games. My collection was moderate in size (20-25 games), but I had alot of the harder to find ones (hard to find now, that is).

    Someday, though.....

    Hopefully in the next year I can complete an Intellevision collection. I buy many different consoles and games, however the intellevision has a very managable library of games (save 3 or 4 titles). So far I have no complete collections, however my PS2 library keeps expanding (up to about 380 titles) and hopefully by the end of its game production run I will only need a couple hundred titles :P .

    Im not in a hurry to finish any collections anytime soon.Im not looking forward to the days when I wont need to go game hunting for NES carts.

    I want to complete my Vectrex (boxed) collection, but I havent bought a new game for it in over a year, so I dont see it happening any time soon :P

    I doubt I'll ever finish a set, partly because I'm pretty much only interested in the good games for a system and partly because I hate the thought of not keeping an eye out for the next find.

    The journey is the destination.

    None.

    I already have more games than I can play and I don't think I own more than 100 games.

    I can't justify spending the exorbitant amounts of money required to complete any collections.

    No sir.

    Thank you.

    Right now I'd like to have a complete collection of games by Treasure. I'm not going for every region, but if a game was released for more than one console, I'd want both...

    I currently have 18 and am missing 11 (plus one manual).

    I'd like to be completed in a year or two.

    I'd like to have "almost" complete Zelda (have 9) and Castlevania (have 10) collections, but we'll see how that goes...

    As far as complete collections for consoles go, I've tried but always end up selling the games I don't like playing (i.e. Deep Blue on T16)...

    Compete Working Designs collection: Whenever it happens... I still haven't touched the Sega side of it

    Complete Virtual Boy US collection: Hopefully within the year, but it's going to be really hard for me to buy these games I know I really don't have a strong desire to play. If I start making more money (I hope to god I should be) within that time it shouldn't be too difficult a task.

    I'm with you. More power to the people that complete entire system collections, I just personally don't see the point. I would rather have the cream of the crop across all gaming platforms instead.

    SMS - 6 months, hopefully. I'm at 71 right now, so I'm over half way there.

    Dreamcast - 1-2 years, I only have 70ish games but its a console I'm avidly hunting for.

    NES - Some day, I have 356 games right now but I've practically given up on this as so many games are so very expensive complete.

    Genesis - 2 years, after SMS is done this will be my top priority. I'm at 152 right now so I still have a LONG way to go.

    I plan on finishing my NES collection in the next 2 years. I also hope by then that I will have the largest vintage sealed Nintendo merchandise collection in the world.

    Sega 32x (need one game)
    Sega CD (Up to about 70)
    Sega Saturn (Up to about 80)
    Sega Genesis (Up to about 500)

    I have been wanting to complete master system, but I only need one game: Sonic. I don't really count sonic, strider or spiderman as necessary since they're basically PAL games, so I said screw it.
