Goals for 2012:
-Get remaining Nintendo 64 hardware
--Grape console
--Gold controller
--Millennium 2000 controller
-Get a CIB copy of Star Fox 64
-Get a copy of Super Metroid (SNES, cart only OK)
-Keep under 800 games
-Sell off remaining duplicates and unwanted items
Half year update:
I still need to get the N64 hardware, a CIB copy of Star Fox 64, and Super Metroid.
Otherwise, I've been pretty successful. I've kept under 800 games (at ~516 right now), and I've been pretty successful at selling off my duplicates and unwanted items. If anyone is interested in anything on my trade list, send me a PM!

To start over...after 2-3 years of life in hell, I will use my current, yet very outdated collection list here to begin anew! Time to go find Hannah Montana for the PS3...

I have taken a year off from collecting and I am now back in it.
I believe a year ago, I was trying to building on my Sega Collection.
I did stall out, and was not able to get anything due to funds.
My Goal for this year is:
Get half of all U.S. released Sega Genesis Games ( I have about 55 games so far), I gotta long way to go.
Secondary Goal Collect All U.S. Released Castlevania Games.
I have almost completed my goal of owning all Sega Consoles ( I am not sure about counting Third Party Sega Consoles, i.e.: JVC X'Eye)

Still missing: SG-1000, Sega Master System. Sega Nomad

FWIW, RetroRage, World Series Baseball is still going up on price, while Web of Fire is actually slowly going down in price. Also, World Series Baseball is rarer than Web of Fire...
well then....that's discouraging. i was hoping Web of Fire was the only rare title. i found and bought a sealed copy of the Fred Couples golf game for $2 last week. that's gotta be worth something right?

Ive been wanting a 64DD for quite some time now. I remember one being sold a few years back on rfgen. Kicking myself for not buying it.

I suppose my goals are a little less ambitious than most, but my finances pretty much have to dictate my expectations.
My first goal is to get my collection organized. I need at least one more shelf to start making my collection look presentable. I also want to get all of the proper connectors for my systems. I seem to have misplaced some switches, so I need to get some RF-Coax connectors, among other things. I own some systems that I haven't even tested yet (i.e., my Fairchild Channel F) -
More or less done. I'd like to improve my game displaying
My second goal is to complete my Master System collection -- a list I created a long time ago of games I'd like to try. Most of what I have left are titles from series (though there are a few stand-alone games too): Castle and World of Illusion starring Mickey Mouse, Alex Kidd in Hi Tech World, Wonderboy, Fantasy Zone II, Zillion II, Golvellus, R-Type. -
Haven't touched this
My third is goal is simply to be able to commit to buying at least one new piece for my collection every week. I don't want to fall in collecting lulls. I always want to show some progress, even if it's adding a $2 NES game, so be it -
done
My fourth goal is to obtain all 3 of the RPG/Board games for the Odyssey 2. I've been thinking of trying pen and paper RPGs a bit and this might ease the transition. I think they also look great as collectibles. -
Almost picked up two of these, but condition factored in
My fifth goal is to add to my 16-bit system game collections, in general. While I don't have crazy collections like many on this board (I'm envious of so many of you), my 8-bit system collections are much stronger than my 16-bit collections. I currently have ~50 NES games and ~30 SMS games. Contrast that with maybe a dozen SNES games, 5 Genesis games and 10 TG-16 . I'd like to improve on all 5 of those numbers, but the latter 3, especially. -
I did add a few but I have a long way to go
My 6th goal is to add more systems to my collection. I started collecting systems and only later, really delved into games. It's actually been a long time since I've added a system to my collection. I would still like to add some systems to my collection though. These are a few I'm looking for: Magnavox Odyssey, Emerson Arcadia, RCA Studio 2 (maybe), Atari 5200, Atari 7800, Atari Jaguar, Sega 32X, Sega Dreamcast, Xbox (original). -
Haven't acquired any yet, but came very close
My 7th goal is to start actually selling stuff that I have no intention of keeping. Right now, I'm sitting on several things that I just don't care for (i.e., pong clones, a spare 2600, a spare Colecovision with a card reader error (wouldn't mind fixing it)). So far, I've been too lazy to actually list things online. I can't keep doing that. -
Nothing sold yet
My 8th goal is to add more reputable titles to my collection. I have started going in that direction of late, but I need to commit to it even more. So far, I've been settling for adding a couple $10 games and a couple $5 games in favour of adding one reputable game for $30. I have to get myself out of that frame of mind a little more often. -
this has been my focus of late. I refined my list of "must haves" for a few systems and I've been focusing on them
My final (stated) goal, is to actually beat a couple of games. I'm different from most people in this hobby in that I'm rarely coming at it from a nostalgic point of view. I certainly played some video games as a kid, but I doubt I ever would have garnered the label of "gamer". I even went several years without touching a game. I started collecting because the history of the industry fascinated me. I started reading about games a lot and then started listening to vintage gaming podcasts and watching youtube videos. I eventually got to a point where I needed to see these things in person in order to satisfy my curiosity. That's when I started buying games -
Haven't beaten much solo, but my buddy and I did beat Mega Man2 and almost beat Whomp 'Em

I'm hoping to reach 300 NES games by the end of the year. I have a little under 60 to go. Eek!

You should have enough cheap ones left on your list that it wouldnt be too hard.

Oh, yeah. I have plenty of cheap ones to buy. But still, I might wanna pursue high-profile ones for a while. We'll see what happens!

My main goal right now is to make some real headway on my NES collection. I'm only at 23 games right now. I'd like to try and hit 100 by the end of the year, but if that proves too unreasonable I'm hoping to at least get all of the black label/pixel art carts.
I wouldn't mind building up my N64 collection a bit more too. I don't have any specific number in mind, but if I can get my current total from 16 games to at least 30-50 I think by year's end I'll be in good shape.

My unofficial thoughts have turned into a real goal. I won't hit it by years end by any means, but I'm officially going for a complete CIB sega cd collection. Longgg way to go, but I've managed to cross off lots of the expensive titles already.

Goals for the rest of the year... hmm. I'd like to add a ColecoVision to my collection. I also need to work on my SNES collection, my Atari 2600 collection managed to get larger than the SNES and I find that somewhat disturbing. A Famicom is also in my sights, I should hopefully be crossing off the Super Famicom from my list shortly when some packages arrive from Japan.
Other than that, I haven't got any exciting goals outside of dreaming that I'll come across a "5 dollar" holy grail at a pawn shop or thrift store.
