Collecting Goals for 2014

[Shadow Kisuragi]

I hope you mean you have a ton of PS1 games not in your catalog. If you have a ton of NTSC PS1 games not in the database, please let us know immediately, as our list was culled a couple years ago from Game Rave... if Jason doesn't have it, it can be a big deal.

Let me know if you need help with the Import stuff and tracking down what they are.

Oops, Sorry for the miss communication.

Yes I mean I own a ton of PS1 Games that I have not added to my collection on this site.

[CKsGallery]

And thank you Shadow, maybe I can send you pics of the SNES boxes?

[Shadow Kisuragi]

Pics of the boxes would be okay, but I'd prefer the carts so I can use the Part #s to more easily track things down. If no cart, box front/back would suffice. Maybe add them to the DB while we're at it.

[CKsGallery]

I can do that, I always mean to get more involved on the site since I use it so much,  but never seem to find the time.

[Shadow Kisuragi]

If you don't have time for pics, just a list of the Part #s will suffice.

Hey now,

Boy, am I way late for this. None the less-- Skylanders aside-- my only major collecting goal is to attain 2500 overall pieces for my collection by the end of the year. Which, at my present pace, is well within reach.

UPDATE 10/12:

I was aiming to collect all the main line Swap Force figures by the end of the year, but it doesn't look like that's gonna happen...

Otherwise, the 2500-piece mark is well within reach. After that, I can aim to make page 1 of the All Collections list for the first time, which will be a goal for next year.

I didn't actually set any goals this year, I was going through a bit of a collecting slump at the start of the year. However my goals are fairly similar each year so lets see if I hit last year's goals, again:

Buy at least 1 game for every system I own: I'm getting there. Accomplished this last year, right now, I've bought at least 1 for 31 of my 40 systems so with almost 6 months to go I feel good, especially since I hadn't even thought about this. Knocked two off the list last week, picking up my first Jaguar and Intellivion games of the year. The 9 I still need games for are (in order of my biggest collection to smallest): Sega CD, Game Boy, Game Boy Color, 5200, Game Gear, 32X, Virtual Boy, Microvision, Nuon

The Microvision and Nuon may require getting online, or hitting up some of the big downtown game stores here in Chicago, but I'm confident I'll get the rest 'in the wild'.

Add at least 2 new consoles to my collection: This is done. Picked up more than 2 actually. This year I've gotten a Vectrex, a PC Engine, PC Engine CD, Wii U, and Channel F.

Pick up at least 3 'rare' games: This is always a matter of degrees but I think I'm at least borderline. I did pick up two Supercharger games in the wild, those are pretty rare, but I'm talking more pricey hard to get games. I got Moonwalker, Turtles in Time, but those aren't really rare, just a bit pricey.

Still, I definitely count Gargoyle's Quest II for NES and Lords of Thunder for TGCD. I also got the gun for the original Odyssey with two games, that probably counts as well. Still, I'd like to get at least 1 more by year end as that's more an accessory and the others above are kind of borderline.

Round out my PS1/PS2 RPG Collections: This is always a goal and while I havne't made HUGE strides this year, I've done alright.

PS1:
Vandal Hearts 2, Chocobo's Racing (spin off at least of an RPG series), Jade Cocoon, Torneko the Last Hope, Saiyuki Journey West, Vagrant Story

PS2:
MS Saga a New Dawn, Drakengard 2, Suikoden IV, Evergrace, Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance 2

5 on PS2 and 6 on PS1, not a huge chunk but I already have most of the big guns so it makes it harder to find new ones. Only 1 of these on each system was bought online.

I have some concrete goals I want to achieve by the end of the year.  Though, they're mostly involved with dealing with my collection rather than expanding it.

1. Organize, catalog, and display my collection.  Organization and cataloging will be made MUCH easier thanks to the RF Gen database and mobile app.

2. Offer for sale and/or trade the duplicate and excess items in my collection.

3. If possible, acquire an NES copy of Metal Storm (NTSC) and a Famicom copy of Metal Storm.

Simple goals to say, but difficult to achieve.

Bickman is selling Metal Storm, I think...

He WAS. I just missed out.

Greetings, Mr. Penfold. I've been on the hunt for Metal Storm myself after an esteemed RF Gentleman blogged about it a couple years back.

WHAAAAAT?! AND YOU DIDN'T THINK TO PM ME ABOUT THAT?!

YOU'RE DEAD TO ME, YOU HEAR?! DEAD!

*SOB*

...thought he was my friend... sniff...

[Shadow Kisuragi]

Would you prefer I flaunt my own, pristine copy above your head? I only found out yesterday after he pinged me about it from someone who was interested in it.

Damn, I need me one of those machines...

I've wanted Metal Storm since it came out.  Money would solve my problem very quickly, but I want to try and get it affordably. I would even take the Famicom version, if I could find it.
