How picky are you when it comes to collecting?

[Helegad]

I'm only picky enough to require

For games:
- A big box (if it came with one)
- The CD and CD case (preferably in good condition)
- An instruction manual.

I don't worry about the warrenty cards and that sort of thing.

For figures:
- Just the figure and any accessories.

I don't worry about packaging, but I am picky about any significant extras.

For DVDs and CDs:
- Good condition disc
- Proper case

I don't worry too much about any leaflets, but I'd prefer to have them anyway.

I don't really care if it's second-hand, as long as the item is complete and comes with the box/packaging. If it's really rare, then drop the latter.

[Helegad]

Of course, same here. If it's a development proto or something, then I wouldn't require a box or manual. If one came along with a box and manual, even better.

Aslong as I get a manual with the game, I'll be happy.
I get little pissed off when i dont get them but in the end, I play it anyway.
And I got a rare game second hand, WITH the manuel. Godbless you Resident Evil Survivor 2: Code Veronica.

Agreed 100& here.

Also, Gradon, don't change your avatar! Tatu is teh sexy time.

when it comes to collection, i'm very picky...

i never buy a game, figure, cd, DVD if it's not in perfect mint condition!!!

and i laways try to get the rarest items!!!

[DXP]

i'm not really that picky when it comes to buying items, the first 'rare' game i found was Dark Chronicle for about £25 in gamestation. But other I will buy whatever to complete a collection but if its used it has to have an instruction manual i have a mad crazy thing about them . On another note I did pick up a used copy of the thing for the ps2 in game for £1.50 and you wouldn't even though that's how good the condition of it was minus the front of the box xD.

[Stars1356]

For games, if everything is included and is in good condition than I will get it. As far as figures, I want them still in the box.

100% complete. I need all those survey/warranty/etc cards. Preferably sealed.
I made sure I got one with the sponge when I was looking for the US longbox issue of RE...

[TheSelfishGene]

I'm happy to buy things second hand, and if it's a collectable, I'd like everything to be there. If it's just a game I'd play for some fun, then even the disc only really doesn't bother me too much. As long as the price reflects this.

If I buy something new, I won't throw the extra stuff away.

[Helegad]

I agree about the manuals being important and the most interesting part. I had to force myself not to open my SEALED, BIG BOX TR2 Gold for PC, because I wanted to read the manual.

[The Dude]

Really don't care for collectables, if I don't end up opening the contents to looksee or play it, someone else in this house will *many a collectors boxset has been buggered up this way*
