Rarest thing you own thread

Well that could have been awkward I got confused thinking 'wheres the rest of this thread gone?'

 

Haha Right, am I doing something wrong? Should I moved this somewhere? :\

 

moved.

 

That one with an awful cartoon mouse in place of sonic is hilarious!

 

Hi. I’ve just signed up to the forum but have enjoyed seeing what cool things everybody’s got. I think these Dreamcast posters are the rarest thing I have - and my favourite.

Around the time of the ECTS trade show in London in 2000, Sega took over the city’s biggest cinema screen to show off the second generation of first-party Dreamcast games - many of which went on to become cult classics.

The ‘Dreamcast Premiere’ event was designed to show off Sega’s biggest upcoming Dreamcast games on the famous cinema’s giant screen, and they created seven different poster designs to be displayed in the cinema’s foyer for the day. Each one is a well-known movie poster edited to promote a big Dreamcast game, and they’re all really cool.

I loved the posters when I saw them and asked a contact at Sega Europe if I might be able to get one after the event as a souvenir. I was just hoping to get one that was used in the cinema on the day but he sent me a complete unused set of all seven posters.

I didn’t have the wall space to put them up in my home at the time so I kept all seven in the cardboard tube they came from Sega in – the tube has been in storage ever since. The posters are printed on thick, high-quality paper and have only been unrolled carefully a few times in the last 13 years so are in near-perfect condition.

I’ve never heard of anybody else having these, and certainly not an unused full set. Hope you like them.

You can see IGN.com’s September 2000 report on the ‘Dreamcast Premiere’ event for which the posters were made here, complete with a couple of photos of the posters in situ: http://uk.dreamcast.ign.com/articles/084/084561p1.html

 

Wow....awesome posters! Thanks for sharing.

 

That Shenmue poster is awesome!

Ditto! They are amazing!

 

*DROOL* Awesome posters!

 

Here is my recent purchase. This is a double-faced poster with the FM Towns versions of Asuka 120% BURNING Fest. and Mad Stalker: Full Metal Force being advertised on them.

 

Unopened "Limited Edition" Halo controller game bundle pack for the original Xbox. This was probably only available in Australia/New Zealand. I got it for $10 from Myer in 2006.

 

I lol'ed at the last cart saying "Sonic 3D Blast: Russian version"

 

probably my gba sp pikachu limited edition.

 

I just sold my Famicom Punch-Out! Gold cart on eBay. I believe EVO is probably next in line on my rare games list.

You guys have some awesome stuff. I have some rare games but no rare hardware to speak of.

 

Sure is. Sold for $49.95 I believe.

 

Here's an update!
I've found in my home an sealed Windows XP SP1, that was originally bundled with MDG computers in 2002...
And a Future Shop Digital Camera Starter Kit complete (there's even an sealed Kodak Ultima Picture Paper Sample Pack - Not for Resale) from 2003.

 

Nintendo 64DD, with most of the games, and the original shipping box. Bam.

PS2 Dev Kit from 3DO

A special unreleased game that thousands of people want a copy of, however, I can't say the name. Only a few people have it. I'm awaiting news to see if I can post picture or not.

Nintendo iQue (They're really cheap where I am in China. Like $25 with 4 full games + demos)

A few bootleg Chinese FC/NES carts containing "Angry Birds" and "Plants vs Zombies". They're actual bootleg versions of the games made for NES. Quite cheap here as well.

Gameboy Multi-carts

Megaman II for Gameboy "For Use in China Only" (All written in English). Glop Top inside but has Nintendo marks on the inside. Code is: DMG-203CHN. I'll make a proper post about this soon. The cart looks different than the official Chinese release (although has same code), as the cart has the aforementioned disclaimer on it.

 

I have all the US Release Sega Master System, Pico, Genesis, DreamCast, Saturn, Sega CD, and Sega 32x Games, 2 of the Zelda Cd-i games ( missing Zelda Adventure), WaterWorld for the Atari, A cool Zelda Standee, the gold set of Wii Controllers, and lots of consoles.
