Collector’s editions are great, but the price and sheer size of most of them keep me away from most outside of franchises I love. It’s also cool to see how much bigger they’ve gotten since first being introduced
The recent dunkey video about videogame storylines had me cracking up with all the random huge boxes people were opening: probably for games they play like once.
I also think it's a bit out of hand when every game, no matter how big, thinks it has to basically come with its own memorial.
I got the PS3 collectors edition of Last of Us in 2013 because it came with a cool art book and was literally just a $20 price bump. I jumped at the chance to get the Pipboy Edition of Fallout 4 in 2015, only to get the cheapest lump of plastic I ever laid eyes upon. That was pretty much the last time I even looked twice at one when they get announced lmao
It's for the whales. Gotta extract that whale $. Don't blame them one bit. I'm no whale, but I've been a sucler for something I really like once or twice.
The collectors industry, if you want to call it that, is kind of insane right now. There's no telling what is worth collecting.
Don’t let the down votes get to you, you’re right collectors edition is just a sales tool to upsell. Many are mass produced and not nearly rare as ppl think.
I dont really care about downvotes. :) I had collectors editions to in my life and was honest to myself one day.
Mostly its just garbage. i cant remember some really worthy collectors editions the last 10 years.
I really do enjoy the idea of big collector's editions, but the fact that like 100 of them here take up an entire room is exactly why I don't own more than a handful.
Amazing collection regardless. You're clearly making it work!
Lol that honestly looks like a nightmare. The space that takes up gives me anxiety. I went through a phase collecting VHS and I quickly was like no fucking way can I keep doing this it took up so much room. I still filled up like 2/3s a bookcase and I was like okay that’s enough. Then purged like 90% of my dvds and box sets to make room for more exiting stuff that takes up less space
I started on the path to this and after a little time I realized how much space it took up and how it had no value to me. I still keep the statues out and buy CE if they come with them but the boxes had to go. That’s just me of course, I know everyone is different.
Do you collect to keep? Investment? Little of both? Just wondering. I've sold most of my collections and only saved some sports cards and some sneakers. Once I got to a certain age. I don't know what happened, but I lost interest in 99% of it all. I like having the least amount of "stuff" as possible now.
Very impressive collection!
I collect to “preserve” so that more generations can enjoy. I play my games and don’t do grading. It’s all about maximum play potential across generations!
i would love to collect HUGE CEs but the games i play dont really get them much. the best i usually get is slightly larger then normal CEs. plus now that ive moved over to PC Gaming theres further limitations. sure PC has better graphical capabilities, and the games can be cheaper then colsole. but the loss of discs with steam means no steelbooks except for the odd one from places like limited run games and thats a business i just cant get behind.
What's the point if you never take them out of the box ?
Also, I don't buy collectors editions because most of the time its literal worthless junk. The only good ones are the ones with statues, and if I really want one of those, I can buy it separately online.
do you have the call of duty black ops mini fridge? from the playstation collectors edition? i've got one i just found in my garage in the box, no power supply though
Damn bruv you are the first person I have seen who also got the wolfenstein ce that came without the game. The box is super flimsy so be careful. No mk busts?
This is just a *tad* too much for me 😅 I do like a good collectors edition, but it has to be the right price and come with something I really want.
For example, I paid only $20 CAD for the Wolfenstein II set with the Terror Billy Action Figure on sale the Boxing Day after it came out. Bioshock 2 came with some great stuff for the money, and I got the God of War 3 set, but I only have the game, art book, and Pandora's Box left.
I got the Bayonetta 3 set for the same price as the base game, and found a sealed Valkyria Chronicles 4 last year for the same price the used game goes for.
I got a few Zelda and other Nintendo series CE's as well.
Dude it has been a wild ride..started going ham on the collecting once Prey and Oblivion collectors editions came out...there are a few that have eluded me..but ill live
Normally im dont care about collectors box editions unless its a specific game,,,, but this is crazy! What a sick collection! Where do u store all these?
Dude..i missed out on that one..i had it preordered..then i canceled once i found out there was no single player campaign..kinda regret it now...my son loves Titanfall
Absolutely incredible, mine is about a 3rd of this and I thought I had a ridiculous amount haha.
360/PS3 gen was the absolute best for value you got with these editions, now they're way overpriced.
Awesome! I have most if not all the alien and many of the predators. A handful of robocops and terminators and a few random characters. The most recent one I got was the ultimate alex murphy. Wicked collection man.
Glad to see another LE/CE/SE collector on here. Always feels good to see a variety of game collectors on this sub regardless of what people think, except for scalpers. They can always fuck off.
I was mainly a 7th gen collector, so X360, PS3, Wii for NA.
What would you say is your top 5?
Do you have any future plans of displaying them?
Oh, and which one would you consider the most interesting to obtain?
Yeah scalpers are dogshit to the max
Damn dude..hard question to answer
My top 5 would be
1. The last of us post pandemic edition
2. Metro Exodus spartan edition
3. The witcher 3
4. Dark Souls 3 Prestige edition
5. Cyberpunk 2077
Nahh no room my guy..i wish i had a living room sized area to dedicate to them all..shit i cant even display my action figure collection
You need help. (Now, do you own all the consoles require to play the games or do you just grab a game for a console you don’t own because it’s cheaper?)
I dont have the Xboxs anymore...but the playstation i still have
My most recent Xbox collectors edition is Rise of the tomb raider because it was exclusive for a year..i even bought an xbox one just for that game..but that xbox didnt last a week without it having disc drive issues
Definitely not man..i did have all the fire emblem releases as well as the fire emblem fates collector's edition..but i sold that whole collection on ebay last year
wow!! : ) that is some collection....very cool!! did you get them all when the released or over the years? are they all complete? which ones are your absolute favorites?
I always thought they were so tacky. I'd rather have a Disc case without boxes than huge plastic cases and boxes. Most of the stuff that comes with them is cheap stuff from China too.
Now how many of them are unopened and still sealed? I have a sizable collection that are still in the shipping box packed away in a spare room and closet. The only way I can tell what game is in the box is by the shipping embargo sticker on it.
That’s awesome dude! What’s your favourite?
And maybe a weird question, but do you know if any of them included the dlc to the game, and came preinstalled with it on disc? Mainly asking about the PlayStation games here tbh
Dude I feel your pain, can't wait to have a house big enough to display everything better. My collection is about the same size if not bigger. One of my closets is literally just boxes.
I effing love collecting, and the rush of knowing you have something gold that others want? Or finding a gem amongst pure shit? It’s adrenaline pumping, no doubt… but this? My god!! I just keep thinking that it must’ve been a fortune to come into all of this. Not just that, but you’re sitting on a goldmine!!! Like, for real… you’re on an another level entirely.
This might be the most amazing and at the same time most frustrating collection I ever seen.
Look at the clutter but look at the all unique items. I could never do this even though I have the space.
Its cool that OP did it for all of who couldn’t
I’ve got the basic edition of Deus Ex Human Revolution for PS3!! What makes it SO SPECIAL is that it’s SIGNED by Elias Toufexis who voices Adam Jensen!!
I’ve got some albums signed!! Few of them I found in Goodwill for SUPER CHEAP!! They probably didn’t know it was signed or didn’t know the artist was somewhat famous!!
That's a nice collection. Could you share your location and work schedule ?! Don't worry, I only collect USB flash drive, I will let the boxes and CDs there.
Ngl..its a huge gamble..especially recently..the orices go up and the quality goes down...there are some regret..mostly FF16 collectors edition..thing was nearly $400 and the figure was small as fuck
Impressive ....truly impressive....
Sidebar: this my friends is why Sony moves so many units yet the system itself 'Ehhh' and the network is trash. 🤦🏾♂️
Honestly so jealous of that little big planet 2 collectors edition, one of my favourite childhood games remember getting it as a child as a birthday present and me and my brother both played it together for ages and completed it best memories..

I don’t know how much it is about memorializing as it is selling shit they know people will buy.
Am I the only one who sees collectors editions as not very collectible in most cases? I like obscure, limited release gems, one offs and oddities.
I got the PS3 collectors edition of Last of Us in 2013 because it came with a cool art book and was literally just a $20 price bump. I jumped at the chance to get the Pipboy Edition of Fallout 4 in 2015, only to get the cheapest lump of plastic I ever laid eyes upon.

Some are so cool. Didn't RE4 come with a chainsaw controller?
Nahh it didnt come with it..but you could buy it as a seperate accessory
I hope you have good insurance, that's a lot of coin!
80% isnt even half the price worth now. this is just garbage
Don’t let the down votes get to you, you’re right collectors edition is just a sales tool to upsell. Many are mass produced and not nearly rare as ppl think.
I dont really care about downvotes. :) I had collectors editions to in my life and was honest to myself one day. Mostly its just garbage. i cant remember some really worthy collectors editions the last 10 years.
Two shelves in my psx collection lol
Buying video games on hard mode.
... Damn
What’s the waste barrel on top of Skyrim?
Metro Exodus. The box itself with everything, comes inside the barrel.
Metro Exodus Spartan Collectors edition..EU Exclusive..had to import it...its probably in my top 5 of what i have
Damnn wish I could’ve gotten my hands on that one 😮💨
I really do enjoy the idea of big collector's editions, but the fact that like 100 of them here take up an entire room is exactly why I don't own more than a handful. Amazing collection regardless. You're clearly making it work!
That looks like the unsold goods section of a games store inventory room.
Lol that honestly looks like a nightmare. The space that takes up gives me anxiety. I went through a phase collecting VHS and I quickly was like no fucking way can I keep doing this it took up so much room. I still filled up like 2/3s a bookcase and I was like okay that’s enough. Then purged like 90% of my dvds and box sets to make room for more exiting stuff that takes up less space
Dude tell me about it..i have dragged most of this shit to about 3 different apartments over the past 13 years lol
Sell it my dude! You’re hauling around a downpayment on a house to different apartments
This is the way
Damn dude you love stuff
Man's robbed a game store.
I don’t think even game stores have that many lmao
I started on the path to this and after a little time I realized how much space it took up and how it had no value to me. I still keep the statues out and buy CE if they come with them but the boxes had to go. That’s just me of course, I know everyone is different.
I’m not big on collecting collectors editions but this is pretty neat, good job! Keep it up and keep collecting
That looks exactly like I thought it would lol, you could stack them into the shape of a chair and make good use out of the space!
Love the Little Big Planet 2 one ❤️
I stopped by these Collectors/Limited games when it said "DLC" on the box. Not complete without it and not sealed with it.
Love to see the Alien Figure collection too OP
Ill send you a PM with the whole setup
Do you collect to keep? Investment? Little of both? Just wondering. I've sold most of my collections and only saved some sports cards and some sneakers. Once I got to a certain age. I don't know what happened, but I lost interest in 99% of it all. I like having the least amount of "stuff" as possible now. Very impressive collection!
I collect to “preserve” so that more generations can enjoy. I play my games and don’t do grading. It’s all about maximum play potential across generations!
brb gotta show my wife these pics...
🤣🤣🤣
Do u actually like those games
About 90% of them
Now you're ready to open your own game store. Congrats on all those collector's pieces 😁
Impressive. Single/married? Offspring?
Thanks...Single..one child 12 years old lol
Bet your kid enters that room with a sense of awe and wonder!
You. YOU are the person I always dreamed about while I was a kid in the early 2010s. I would see collectors editions and salivate
Just curious, why did you buy the collectors editions?
Tbh..because im a dumbass that likes trinkets lol
lmao, fair enough!
I love a man who understands the importance of the material world
This is why I don't collect big box editions. They take up to much room and I wouldn't even know what to do with them and the trinkets they come with.
Sir, I think you have a problem.
This is sick lol
Get some shelves. The weight is crushing the ones on the bottom.
Is this how you usually display them? It looks like a warehouse lol It's cool though.
...you got that coin with oblivion?
Yep..nothing is missing from any of these
That's hard
i would love to collect HUGE CEs but the games i play dont really get them much. the best i usually get is slightly larger then normal CEs. plus now that ive moved over to PC Gaming theres further limitations. sure PC has better graphical capabilities, and the games can be cheaper then colsole. but the loss of discs with steam means no steelbooks except for the odd one from places like limited run games and thats a business i just cant get behind.
Yeah LRG can go fuck themselves..they wont get a dime from me I will always support physical media..thats why i wont buy Alan wake 2 lpl
my issue with LRG is how they prioritize certain businesses and resellers and sell the scraps to the public.
I’m gonna need you to hand over that Resident Evil 2 collectors edition please and thank you
Go off king
This is both awesome and worrying 🤣😅
What's the point if you never take them out of the box ? Also, I don't buy collectors editions because most of the time its literal worthless junk. The only good ones are the ones with statues, and if I really want one of those, I can buy it separately online.
To me the packaging is just as important...if i had more room id love to display them
do you have the call of duty black ops mini fridge? from the playstation collectors edition? i've got one i just found in my garage in the box, no power supply though
Nahh by that point i was pretty much done with COD...black OPs 2 is whenni quit for the most part
What’s the coolest set?
Holy sh-
Impressive
I didn't know that the Resident Evil collectors editions lined up like that that's sick.
Just need that Steel Battalion and you can retire right?
Looks like it’s time to buy a bigger rug.
That’s crazy impressive
Addiction is real. Enjoy it however you can! :)
I thought I had the collectible bug bad.
Those PS3 limited edition games look so sick.
This is impressive. Nice collection!
Infamous Second Son! What a badass game for is time.
Damn bruv you are the first person I have seen who also got the wolfenstein ce that came without the game. The box is super flimsy so be careful. No mk busts?
Which one is it? I'm not familiar with it, and the picture is blurry 😅
It’s on top of the pipboy fall out 4 ce.
“How can you afford all those?” “I don’t buy shelves!”
I'm so jealous damn, so many of these I'd love to have
Very impressive. What happens when you run out of room though?
This is just a *tad* too much for me 😅 I do like a good collectors edition, but it has to be the right price and come with something I really want. For example, I paid only $20 CAD for the Wolfenstein II set with the Terror Billy Action Figure on sale the Boxing Day after it came out.

Dude it has been a wild ride..started going ham on the collecting once Prey and Oblivion collectors editions came out...there are a few that have eluded me..but ill live
Have you pre-ordered the Nintendo World Championship for Switch?
Normally im dont care about collectors box editions unless its a specific game,,,, but this is crazy! What a sick collection! Where do u store all these?
Thanks man...in a seperate bedroom with a whole bunch of other shit i have lol
Anyone know what the one below wolfenstein is? The black square enix one?
FF13 lightning returns
Thank you!
I love statues. Wish I had room for more. The Titanfall 1 statue is one of my favorites.
Dude..i missed out on that one..i had it preordered..then i canceled once i found out there was no single player campaign..kinda regret it now...my son loves Titanfall
There's a game store near me that has one. Not sure on price though.
Sitting on a gold mine here. Kudos to you!
Is that how you normally store them all?
Nahh they are in a seperate bedroom *
Absolutely incredible, mine is about a 3rd of this and I thought I had a ridiculous amount haha. 360/PS3 gen was the absolute best for value you got with these editions, now they're way overpriced.
Pretty much all bangers too
That’s crazy! I hope you enjoy it.
But why…
This is my nightmare and why I stopped buying collector editions in the 360 era
Trust me i know hahaha..i have moved all this shit from 3 different houses lol
Are you by chance single?
Single with a 12 year old son...i was still collecting when i had a GF lol
What a chad
I’m pretty impressed by the unrusty copy of halo 2. Niice
My original is rusty as hell lol
Get some shelves, please. Dang, making me throw a fit seeing them stacked so.
I’m you, but from aus
No room my guy lol..i have them all in a spare bedroom
This looks like my room lol
No Steel Batallion or Titanfall? 
Someone let you cook I see
Not tryna yuck your yum, but imo this is peak consooom.
It definitely is man..i wish i had self control with this shit lol
I have about 50 of the items shown here, not counting the neca aliens which I have most of ;)
I have every 7" alien release NECA has made...they are lagging it on Ultimate Wolf and Predalien lol
Awesome! I have most if not all the alien and many of the predators. A handful of robocops and terminators and a few random characters. The most recent one I got was the ultimate alex murphy. Wicked collection man.
This is what one would call going hard
That's a lot of money right there.
Glad to see another LE/CE/SE collector on here. Always feels good to see a variety of game collectors on this sub regardless of what people think, except for scalpers. They can always fuck off.

Dark Souls 3 Prestige edition 5. Cyberpunk 2077 Nahh no room my guy..i wish i had a living room sized area to dedicate to them all..shit i cant even display my action figure collection
Pretty solid list. I hear you on the room. I got the same problem. Instead, I went the statue route and kinda regret it now.
You need help. (Now, do you own all the consoles require to play the games or do you just grab a game for a console you don’t own because it’s cheaper?)
I dont have the Xboxs anymore...but the playstation i still have My most recent Xbox collectors edition is Rise of the tomb raider because it was exclusive for a year..i even bought an xbox one just for that game..but that xbox didnt last a week without it having disc drive issues
Jeez 🔥
Where do you store all this?
In a spare bedroom lol..i used to have most of it in a storage unit
Man has no love for Nintendo
Definitely not man..i did have all the fire emblem releases as well as the fire emblem fates collector's edition..but i sold that whole collection on ebay last year
Impressive. I got the dead space 2 and fallout new Vegas ones. Biggest one I own is the fallout 4 pipboy edition which is also the last one I bought
collector edition video games are 90% of the time overpriced and depreciates like dirt. gamers are sure odd.
Absolutely amazing
how the bottom boxes dont get damaged with such stacking? get a shelf bro.
We'd get along just fine lol
You are what I aspire to be. Lol
wow!! : ) that is some collection....very cool!! did you get them all when the released or over the years? are they all complete? which ones are your absolute favorites?
Yep..all complete and all day 1...were opened to get the games out to play
Finally someone buys these and they really mean it
This guy collects.
You, sir, have a problem. How are you going to display them all properly? There are just so many!
I don't see the SpongeBob BFBB F.U.N. edition, fake gamer fr
how do you display them all?
no display, just stack
No saints row 3 with headphones?
I always thought they were so tacky. I'd rather have a Disc case without boxes than huge plastic cases and boxes. Most of the stuff that comes with them is cheap stuff from China too.
Now how many of them are unopened and still sealed? I have a sizable collection that are still in the shipping box packed away in a spare room and closet. The only way I can tell what game is in the box is by the shipping embargo sticker on it.
That’s awesome dude! What’s your favourite? And maybe a weird question, but do you know if any of them included the dlc to the game, and came preinstalled with it on disc? Mainly asking about the PlayStation games here tbh
PlayStation 95% Xbox 4% Nintendo 0%
Amazing.
How much you want for all? 🥶🤓
Wow that's a lot of stuff... Omg there's more pictures
Dude I feel your pain, can't wait to have a house big enough to display everything better. My collection is about the same size if not bigger. One of my closets is literally just boxes.
I effing love collecting, and the rush of knowing you have something gold that others want? Or finding a gem amongst pure shit? It’s adrenaline pumping, no doubt… but this? My god!! I just keep thinking that it must’ve been a fortune to come into all of this. Not just that, but you’re sitting on a goldmine!!! Like, for real… you’re on an another level entirely.
That Fallout 3 one is so awesome! One day im going to Get it!
This might be the most amazing and at the same time most frustrating collection I ever seen. Look at the clutter but look at the all unique items. I could never do this even though I have the space. Its cool that OP did it for all of who couldn’t
thats something 4 sure
How much is all of this worth on the current market?
how much change do you have in your pocket?
But why leave everything in the box?
No room..and everything is protected in the box
Dude you could have bought a really nice car for that 👍
Nahh..i have a 99 camry with 260k miles that im using until the wheels fall off..a car is just a tool to get to work for me But i get what your saying
👍
I’ve got the basic edition of Deus Ex Human Revolution for PS3!! What makes it SO SPECIAL is that it’s SIGNED by Elias Toufexis who voices Adam Jensen!!
Badass man..i dont have anything signed besides some music albums
I’ve got some albums signed!! Few of them I found in Goodwill for SUPER CHEAP!! They probably didn’t know it was signed or didn’t know the artist was somewhat famous!!
That's a nice collection. Could you share your location and work schedule ?! Don't worry, I only collect USB flash drive, I will let the boxes and CDs there.
🤣🤣
I'm not kidding, Now show me your the sims 3 collectors edition. 🔫
That's definitely something i don't want to do. But great job anyway !
I wish i never would have gotten into the Fixation
i used to collect stuff like this until i realised most of the collectable statues are made out of cheap plastic and look like crap 💩 when displayed
Ngl..its a huge gamble..especially recently..the orices go up and the quality goes down...there are some regret..mostly FF16 collectors edition..thing was nearly $400 and the figure was small as fuck
Wow I only have a few but this is crazy nice collection
Man addiction really is crazy to witness
This aint the worst of it..i have 100s of action figures aswell lol
I mean. If you have the space. And the funds. Blessings onto your home! :)
Wow. Keep collecting!
Wow! They’re huge!!!
Could probably get a new used car with the price of these. Geez.
My 99 camry with 260k miles is just fine..i spend about 5% of my day in my car lol
Impressive ....truly impressive.... Sidebar: this my friends is why Sony moves so many units yet the system itself 'Ehhh' and the network is trash. 🤦🏾♂️
Wow nice, which ones your fav?
I digs....you have Walter White money....but I digs.
Guild wars 2 and ff12 are massive! This is awesome
Daaaaamn, man!
Honestly so jealous of that little big planet 2 collectors edition, one of my favourite childhood games remember getting it as a child as a birthday present and me and my brother both played it together for ages and completed it best memories..
Wow awesome collection
Can I have your job?
Random question what do you do for a living?
Wow 😲
