My collection of Ni No Kuni items. I really can't wait until I get a house so I can display my stuff properly.
Also, I don't have any friends to show this stuff to, so thanks! Lol

Not missing much showing people your collection in person, unless you have some other die-hard gaming friends. Even with my very modest stash my friends / family think I'm going overboard (well, except for one friend who has collected since the NES era) and is more of a gawk than an actual appreciation.

Same.
My buying has slowed down so much there's not a whole lot to update. :*(

Just awesome Bing147. Do you have plans or do you already have them all hooked up or displayed? I currently have different systems in 4 rooms in the house. I want to get all the retro systems together in one room but haven't done it yet because of lack of room and time.

My remaining shelf space is finally starting to fill up again, so updates soon!

I think you slowly learn to block that stuff out. People, especially older folks that lived in an era where entertainment wasn't typically kept in a physical form, tend to see games at "face value". You can't really blame them, as It's hard to look past a simple box and imagine a entire world inside with stories and experiences and challenges that they've never dreamed of. Gaming is a new medium of entertainment, so it's going to take a while for the world to catch up. Aside from the benefits of reading, It always amuses me that this:

But just look at the shelves of the two. The first guy is rich, and the second guy is us.

Before we completely move on from the topic of game covers...has anyone had any success printing covers at Rite Aid? I've tried looking through the Cover Project forums but I didn't see any mention of it anywhere, so I thought I might as well ask here. I've been wanting to print some covers for quite some time, but Rite Aid is the only store we have with printing services.
No experience with Rite Aid but, you can order prints online I believe from Kinkos. There's an array of options for you to pick. I've looked into it myself for the same purpose but didn't actually use the service.

I had thought about doing something like that, but they charge about $10 for shipping (even if it's just a single item), which is way too much. And on top of that, I imagine it's probably a bit more difficult to get copyrighted images printed this way. You can sometimes find employees who will let you print whatever you want, but this might not be the case with an online order.
Nice set of Saturn games man, I took the opposite approach and went for a Japanese Saturn, I never see Saturn stuff around me and I am more of a SHMUP fan so buying a Japanese saturn made sense. Might pick up an action replay if I ever come across any of the Working Designs games though.
I got Sega Ages and Shining Wisdom for like $40 each a year or two ago, and now those games go for substantially more. I'm seeing these significant jumps in Saturn games and I'm just glad I got most of the ones I wanted before the prices started to hike even more. Too bad I put of N64 games for so long... those are climbing just as fast and I basically haven't gotten anything I wanted yet... of course, trying to find copies with boxes that aren't completely
ed up is another issue.

Looks good, but for the record, it's never a good idea to stack games horizontally. They cases are gonna end up scuffing one another pretty badly, no matter how careful you are.
If actual shelves are an issue, fill one row of games vertically, use a piece of cardboard (or cut out some of that foam poster board) and then stack another row on top of that.
Yep, I need to look around for some more shelves because I'd like to have them all lined up vertically to make it easier to grab one at a time, all my rarer PS2 games are on the top shelf not in the stacks, so I'm not too worried about it. Good to know though.

When it came to shelving for me, I went to a Menards/Home Depot/Lowe's and they usually have random pieces of shelves. I bought some black ones to match my shelf and I actually work at a place where countertops are produced so I go them cut to the right size and I also picked up some replacement pegs for shelving units and everything worked out quite well, if I do say. A few of my shelves don't have the height clearence for full DVD cases though, I just placed Xbox One/PS3 cases or trinkets on those shelves.
Update - Added some photos of the current progress on the inner towers. (Family member had an arm injury so its taking a little longer than planned).I'm currently building an entertainment center out of solid hickory. I have some drawings of the project. I have the cabinet the TV sits on built as well as the two outer towers. The towers have a back on them (not shown in the drawing photos) to prevent games/dvds from falling out.
This is for you Wiggy!

I am really scared to see these. Please, show me. All I can imagine is a bunch of lopsided shelves duct-taped together with bad christmas lighting and "add-on" shelves that were saudered onto the side.
Its kind of the same with other hobbies. I personally do cosplay armor-smithing nowadays. You kinda just make time.

When you say armor smithing, you mean like foam and plastic right? I always wanted to learn to be a blacksmith.
I got some frakenshelving going... not as serious as yours, but I've got some. I'd just love to have a very uniform system though, you know?
But that's not gonna happen until I settle down somewhere.
Foam, plastic, learning resin-casting. I am too lazy to learn straight up blacksmithing. I have a friend that wants to learn but bleh.

Nice collection man! U get major points for having Avatar: The Last Airbender books 1-3!My humble little collection. I've only been at it for a year, and it's nothing like some of the other stuff here, but I'm happy with how it's turning out.
I've been trying to finally cleanup the random piles I call a collection, but can't seem to find what I am looking for. I have one of the big media shelf units but starting to not like everything displayed.
The only option I can think of, I'm not sure where to find. Any ideas where to get a drawer system that somewhere like Gamestop uses behind the counter? Seems like they are longer than what I'm able to find.

Family member has a bunch of woodworking tools in his pole barn. Other furniture isn't custom made. Just stuff he has collected over the years to fill his barn with seating.

What?! How did I end up here? I was just sitting here eating dinner and all of a sudden *POOF* here I am!

I'm not gonna lie, I'm actually in tears from laughter!
Just the cases themselves? Well I think I bought all of mine when they were $50 per case of 100, then figure 15 or so for shipping. I've got about 650 cases on the walls here, sooooooo...
$425-ish. Wow. That seems sorta crazy when I actually do the math. Not to mention ink and paper, plus DS cases.
The GB cases? They're really nice. Very close to OEM quality. Totally the best solution for GB/GBC/GBA games

I just oraganized a years worth of purchases that were thrown on the closet floor and put them on my man-shelves. Had to sacrifice taking down DVD movies since I ran out of room.
