Your Resident Evil Collection

[Enetirnel]

I like how most of us collect only a certain category of RE items, their "specialties" if you will lol.

William: Statues, rare prototypes, unreleased items, etc.
Gene: Rare Biohazard items
Anders: Discs/press kits, etc.
Skunky: Figures
Myself: A little bit of everything
Dot: A lot of everything

We should all just join forces someday and open up a Resident Evil/Biohazard Museum

XD Add Kendo/Tyrant to the list for other demos, betas and the like?

But Anders, that's awesome that you got the press kit - I checked out your scans and the information they had in there is quite interesting.

Though I do wonder what material is on the VHS if you checked it or if you were told what's on it?

My VCR (if it's even around anymore) eats tapes, so I'm not putting it in there. I guess I'll have it sent over to Carnivol some time for a proper transfer. Not that Carn is in the habit of SENDING STUFF BACK!

All I know is that it contains some game footage (looped), with...

...

Spoiler:

White Zombie soundtrack.

Seriously.

Considering that it came with the retail-code promo game, I wouldn't expect anything fantastic on the tape. Except for the White Zombie soundtrack.

Yeah this was one of the top five acquisitions of 2010, and you can probably include 2009 as well!

Neat, that's cool for the soundtrack!

That's the interesting thing with the promos, despite some footage being reused or cut in some slightly different manners that you can hear some interesting music for them that might be custom to that particular reel.

Dot outbidded me on a RE2 press kit! lol
Sold for alot, too much money for Nemesis Lover, that's for
Sure.
I wonder what the Resident Evil 1 press kit looked like?
I bet someone on here owns one :-)

[Anders]

I haven't even seen a PAL promo game for RE1 PS1.
If one exists, it's pretty far up on my want list. Like second spot.

[REmaster]

Yes.

Please send me all of your items and I will look after them all for you. I swear.

I trust you

Also, here's a funny little fact. I actually have it in my will, that if something happens to me (like say, death), all my items will be distributed to my friends on THIA.

[consoul]

Yeah Anders, I don't believe there ever was one.

The earliest third-party PAL promo I've ever encountered is CoolBoarders (1) from January 1997. I don't think there were any third-party PAL promos produced in 1996.

SCEE did press what seems to be the first PAL promo in March 1996 for the very first game produced by Sony Europe in-house (Total NBA 96), but it's got three colour artwork and looks nothing like the black promos we've come to know and love.

I haven't seen any evidence of PAL promos for third-party titles being produced when RE1 was released.

[Anders]

Good info, thanks. So I can write that one off.

OMG TORRENT OR DIE

[Robert_Kendo]

ok,i DIE

[Dracarys]

You allowed to show anything off from it? Even anything different to final release?

[DONNIemo]

Where do you get your stuff, and how come you don't share any? Can you get in trouble?? I mean you already have the items that arn't ment to be sold anyway.

There is usually a gentlemans agreement not to share/distribute these type things. Is usually good to honour them otherwise you're unlikely to have more come your way.

[DONNIemo]

I see, but the temptation would kill me.

[Robert_Kendo]

why should i share the stuff i got??try to get it by yourself.if everybody would share every stuff,it would get worthless.

PS:yes,there are some differences,for example a different looking menu and some dialogues are different,but thats all..Ah,and the game is playable till the end of level 3-3

"if everybody would share every stuff,it would get worthless."

If everyone shared though everyone would get access to more things, to most people this stuff is worthless anyway.

I understand why people won't, I have stuff I will not share also, though some stuff in the past I have shared too when asked. It never hurts to ask if info/vids or anything else can be shared.

New figures arrived!

The figures can be very addictive

The figures can be very addictive

Especially when they were only $10AUD each!!
