Shane McRetro's Hardware Collection

In fact she does. I had to put three full size (floor to ceiling) shoe cabinets at the entrance to accommodate hers and our two girls shoe collection.

 

Hahaha, must have accidentally hit the wrong buttons! :witless:

Hope that no pirates are found. They'll pillage all the good ones!

Yikes! Imagine all the consoles that could have went in their place... probably cheaper too hahaha!

 

Great collection!

 

Here's to it growing and becoming more refined (less triplicate and above Dreamcast units!) over the next six months!

 

Here's an update on my gaming collection. Sure it hasn't grown much, but at least I am getting it better organised... I think... Enjoy!

 

Great collection. Thanks for sharing.

 

I'll get there eventually :encouragement: Welcome to the forums too!
Which side of the country are you on?

 

Really nice stack of hardware there, especially like the Aiwa units, do you have the pads to compliment them?

 

The pads, those speedy blue pads. I wish I did. But only if they are non-functional so I can try fixing them.
That's the only reason I bought the Aiwa units themselves... :sorrow:
Still a work in progress, as everything seems to be constantly... :livid:
I'll go mad before I sort through all the junk on my lounge room floor I reckon... :victorious:
You game collectors are crazy! So many games! Geez! Good work, I am slightly jealous

 

I always wanted an Aiwa unit, with the cart add on that goes with it, I only ever managed to get a pad

I used to be a hardware collector too, had most models of Mega Drive and Mega CD along with 32 box variations with different slip covers and stuff! I just recently trimmed it all down and now only own 2 MD1's and an MD2, suppose I'm turning into a gamer more than a collector as I get old, still have the complete PAL MD game set though

 

Damn, now that is impressive. But, with that said, I am thankful for everyday that goes by where I do not become a crazy collector!
I'd rather pay a bit more for something rarer or more exquisite that I can tinker with than try and own an entire everything ever.
That said, congratulations! I just don't have the space or funds to go on an adventure that big
I'll be a gamer one day when the hardware is all fixed and tidy on my bookshelves...

How'd you end up getting just an Aiwa pad anyway?

 

Here's the latest collection video update. We sure do have a lot more of the same!
All the new things I have are elsewhere, XBOX, PS2, SNES. At least PS1s were in shot! :encouragement:

 

That Sophia... :love-struck:

 

Sorry mate, never seen your post!

I'm in Melbourne. Keep up the good work. Loving the systems!

 

Haha, no worries! I know I've probably got a thousand or so forgotten posts lying about too! :friendly_wink:

 

I think I'm over collecting boxed items. Boxed items are a pain to keep nice and pretty.
Since I've now moved house into a single room... I'm having trouble containing the goods!
Why did Sega make the Model 2 Sega CD so wide? It won't fit on my shelves dammit!
Oh well, back to real life I go!
The mystery arrow should have indicates Sophias, TeraDrives, etc... ughhhhhh...

 

Pillow case drying?! How many times have you been told "to drink milk BEFORE you go to bed" LOL

Great new room man, it sucks having a small room to store a lot of stuff. I'm currently moving into a larger room in the house because I've ran out of room in my current one! XBOX boxes are fucking massive.

 

Hey ! How far you are from finishing the AIWAs repair ?

 

Hahaha, I'm definitely ditching a lot of this boxed junk, going over it again and again. Every time chipping away at something that is useless to me or will never be used.

Uh oh, the Aiwas? See the pink near the Sophias? That's a part of an Aiwa... they were bundled and packed up quick smart. I've got them all together on one table now though! Just noticed the cassette buttons are grey on one and black on the other! I've also got that Aiwa CSD-EX80 to steal bits out of in the same area.

Let's just say, they won't be leaving this house (and I intend to be out of here in March 2014 at the latest) in multiple body bags. They'll be reassembled and ready to party! Real life is just getting in the way far too much here at the moment. It's good because it keeps you busy, but it kills your internet life!

 

Haha...Feel your pain. I've run out of room for storing my boxed consoles. I've started to take over other rooms in the house!
