Rare stuff you own

[Klumpfot]

I'm cool enough to have the first-edition vinyl release of Meshuggah's debut Contradictions Collapse, and it's signed by two of the band members. Tomas Haake said that even he didn't have one of those! Aww yeh.

Also, I've a PAL release of Suikoden II, which goes for monstrous sums on online auction sites.

And my nose is probably pretty unique!

 

[Gokuofuin]

I only have a 1973 Kruger Rand ? Duno if that counts as rare but it should count as expensive I suppose.... Not much else apart from some old currency

 

[darthmj94]

I bought a copy of the "legend of Zelda: ocerena of time, master quest" for gamecube on amazon a few years back. It is a version of the game with the puzzles rearranged into new, harder puzzles, and was only available with a pre-order of "wind waker". Not sure if it is rare but I am proud that I own it.

I have a few things:

A signed copy of "making money" by Terry Pratchett
The first edition of Andersen's Fairy tales with illustrations by W. Heath Robinson
Conker's bad fur day for n64

 

[EHKOS]

I have a Crash Bandicoot bobblehead that was given at Best Buy if you Pre-ordered Wrath of Cortex. Only 7,500 were made. I would like to think that only about 6,000 remain. I have rare games that are expensive but not REALLY rare. Although I'm thinking about getting a copy of the Misadventures of Tron Bonne.

 

[Rblade]

it's a bit off a copout, but I doubt that alot of people have the book Structured Electronic Design. Because unless your doing that course there is absolutly no reason to buy that.

 

[AngloDoom]

For some reason, when I saw the title I instantly said out-loud: "My legs - no-one else has them." I've never done that before...what did this thread do to my brain?

OT: I have all my old Pokemon Cards, it turns out, in my attic somewhere. I know I have a couple of rare ones there, which will have only gotten rarer as time goes on: no-one will top my Jungle Flareon!

 

[Niska]

A few of my great great uncles medals from WW1, a bunch of Nazi currency and a couple of German medals from my grandfather who served on the Eastern Front. Also a SNES Chrono Trigger cartridge and Eternal Dakness for the Gamecube

 

[YicklePigeon]

I have a stack of Thunderbirds trading cards in, effectively, mint condition (1991 era). A few I got again, never did complete the set - my memory tells me I have about 70 cards.

Captain Scarlet pre-recorded VHS tapes, complete set, second edition released around 1991.

Mr Flibble glove puppet, released in 2005 or thereabouts - hard as heck to find to buy nowadays unless you're really lucky. I did find an Australian auction listing a few years ago that wanted $60 (AUS) before shipping, new in the original packaging...a fairly big mark up from the £9.99 or so I paid back in the day.

Diablo II Limited Gift Set, I bought this new for £4.99 from a supermarket around 2002/3 (so long after D2's 2000 release) - no one there knew of it's rarity and I wasn't telling them! XD

GM Standard Atlantean A Bus (model reference: 28601) toy on the Exclusive First Editions label, still in the original packaging - good luck finding one to buy now...although that could be for a few reasons...

Some railway related stuff: Intercity 125 uniform tie, British Rail logo tie, British Rail uniform pin badge, British Rail pullover and a framed A3-sized photo of the steam train 71000 "Duke of Gloucester" from 1991 only given out to a select few members of the 71000 group at the time - I bought it from them for £10 whilst they were raising funds.

Max Payne with the exclusive mousepad. Won it over at 3D Realms during their Max Payne 5th anniversary forum event, I only ever dared open the box once and the mousepad has never been used nor the CDs so much as looked at (and I doubt many outside the US has a copy with the mousepad and both being in excellent condition). Even more rare: the box it came in with the address sticker with the Apogee logo on it that I still have!

And with that, I'd have to get up and go look around my collection of stuff...far too lazy to do that so there we go

 

[Benni88]

I managed to snag a DOOM CMYK Pong Mage poster. They were only featured on kotaku recently, but there were only 30 made and I got one and had in mounted within 10 days of ordering it from Hawaii.

 

[Syzygy23]

I have on my persons... wait for it... Both of the original Golden Sun games!

GASP AND SURPRISE!

Yeah, I just became the most important person in the room. Bow down, you clowns.

 

[Zykon TheLich_v1legacy]

A MKI Armourcast Ork Gobsmasha, apparently one of 30 ever made.

Dark Heresy Main rulebook, limited edition, one of 500.

Not exactly rare, but gaming related, I do have a copy of that Doom comic with this in it:

Spoiler

 

[Jayse]

I collect anime figures and by and large those are a fairly limited run.

The ones that get recast are usually different to the original run in some respect too.

 

[KissmahArceus]

Um, I have a Halo 3 Zune

 

[BlackStar42]

Not much. Uh...A signed copy of "The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents" by Terry Pratchett is about all I can think off.

 

[Mordekaien]

I have all scientific books from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, printed in 1863.
It's basically an antiquity item now.

 

[Noswad]

Not sure how rare these actually are but I have a Blue Peter badge from ages ago, and by that I mean did not cheat and get it off ebay.

 

[Poetic Nova]

I recently found out that I own the very first Powerman 5000 album which is appearenlty incredibly rare.

 

[CAMDAWG]

I've got a pair of football boots worn by, scored with, and signed by Archie Thompson, which probably means nothing to anybody outside australia, and probably most people inside Australia, but he's a prominent figure in recent Melbourne football, and he's from Bathurst which is where my family's from.

And he's a world record holder.

 

[Bobbovski]

I've got a WW1 Iron cross, that's kind of rare I guess.
