I hadn't wanted to say anything at the risk of being perceived as being negative. But I have thought for a while that I haven't been enjoying your videos as much since you have been just adding huge quantities of games, a lot of which have been poor games. I'd love to see more of a curated collection or at least more focused. This became more apparent when you started buying all the budget/essentials etc. Owning the same games on one format as an original release AND a budget range and going even further and adding the same game on 360, to me seemed pointless. I would love to see you focus on games you have a genuine desire to play, and I'd love to see more gameplay from you. Hope this isn't too negative, I like your vids and you are great on camera etc
I've absolutely loved the Essentials journey... and now so close to completion! The only thing that's changing is my focus of collecting, all my active full sets will still be completed 🙏. Thanks man, it's not negative and I appreciate you sharing your opinion in a constructive way
The original Xbox has an underrated library of games. I'd say 6th generation has the widest range of titles, back when games were cheaper to make and more AA studios existed.
I think great choices for collection focus 👍. I also think that purifying collections is part of the collection journey. Space is an issue and things can seem more dispensable when you want new better stuff in its place. Selling stuff also allows others to own it which is always great. Seems like you have a good plan of action going forward, great vid 👍
I have a decent Switch collection but the one thing that stops me going all in is the crazy amount of boutique print companies that make one off runs of smaller games (Limited Run, Strictly Limited, iam8bit etc etc) so there are already tons of titles at inflated prices due to the enforced scarcity of a small print run. It’s great for getting widely available titles, the Mario’s and so on, but I’ve not really focused on it as much as some other systems.
Love picking up PS1, was my first console growing up. Very much have a similar “all killer, no filler” outlook - I like to play/finish all the games, so I’m mainly about picking up stuff I missed as a kid.
I had a feeling this video was coming. I first found your channel when you posted your plan to collect the complete Pal Super Nintendo set. I knew this was going to be a fun set of videos so I subscribed. I’ve watched eagerly as I’ve seen your set grow but I became puzzled when I’d see you spending hundreds of pounds on other game systems instead of collecting just for the SNES. I was even more puzzled seeing you buying PlayStation subsets and now Xbox classics sets. It’s almost like subconsciously you’re procrastinating about collecting the complete Pal snes set. Obviously it’s your money and you can do what you want and that room is like the 8th wonder of the world, but I feel you’ve lost a little bit of focus and need a little push to get back on track. I look forward to seeing what happens next. I used to collect for multiple systems and just bought the games I wanted to actually play. I had 268 megadrive games and one point and started using the ones I didn’t care about as trade in fodder. I sold my entire megadrive collection a couple of years ago to pay for my cat’s cancer surgery. I haven’t missed it as I can play them via emulation. I’d love to see you focus on the snes and buy a little bit of whatever now and again because at this rate it’s going to take you 50 years to complete 😅 Good luck and happy hunting, dude.
He never said he was exclusively collecting them to be fair, and its fun watching him go around hunting them in person rather than ebaying the whole lot. Once you get over the 50% mark i bet its harder to find them in good enough condition without having to remortgage your house. Im personally enjoying the ps3/360 collecting videos xD
Sea of Stars is on sale for Amazon Prime day for anyone interested, £13 cheaper and brand new compared to CEX. Callum you may wish to take that copy back lad
The only real way to maximise space is to custom build shelves rather than buying pre made stuff from IKEA. With every console I’ve collected for I’ve gone through a full PAL list beforehand then counted how many I want, work out how much space they’ll take up and then allocate the space. I have 60 SNES, 56 PS1, 36 PS2 etc. but everything is stuff I played growing up or have nostalgia for and is forward facing so the whole room is full of art. Better than just randomly buying stuff and having to constantly find room for them afterwards. The only stuff I have spine facing is current gen ps4/5 since it’s constantly expanding and I don’t know how many I’ll end up with.
Shaun Whites Snowboarding on Wii is great with a Balance board - recommend you pick one up cheap if you see one! Your kids would enjoy playing that. Its much better than with a controller.
My collect has never been as big as your, at its peak I had around 700 games over all consoles, when I booked my America holiday I got rid of loads of stuff that like you say I didn’t see myself ever playing, and now I only buy stuff I see myself playing within the next 3 months max. I myself, even if I see a game that’s rare for a good price, if it’s something I’m not interested in playing, I leave it for someone that will, I do want my collection to end up massive again but I intend it to be, all played/going to be and all killer no filler
Mate… I’m going through a ‘thing’ with my collecting. Mine movies over games but same sort of issues with not enough space and too much filler. Been doing a bunch of videos around it as I’ve been rethinking my approach to collecting ‘stuff’
It's a great point, I've discussed it on a vlog before.... but it wouldn't save me any space... because I want some... space on top for things... hard to explain via written comment, but I'd be no better with thinner units
I@@RetroGhetto exactly there is only so much wall surface area no matter how deep it is. Unless you were to build sliding shelves like those sliding wardrobe doors. That way you could have thinner shelves but increase storage space by having them on a track.
Another great episode mate and I love how you always work out ways to expand your room for extra games or how to best utilize the space. As a collector I’m always going to the next thing to collect so I commend you on renewing your focus to other systems well done 👍🏻 and look forward to seeing Sundays vlog
I'm at the same point and don't even have a game room. Just yesterday I packed away all my retro right up to and including PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii. About 600 games. Going forward it's PS4, PS5 and Switch only. I made this choice not only due to space but the cost of those other systems is just too expensive for games I don't really play, especially the way Xbox 360 prices have been going. I can still have my PS5 and Switch setup in the living room so only games playable on those systems are the only ones I'm going to buy. It actually feels good in a way I've relieved myself of the worry of missing out on bargains for all the retro as in reality bargains no longer exist for them as I don't have the time to hunt and resellers just hoover up everything else. Anyway I would like to say keep it retro but that doesn't really apply to me anymore but I'll still keep watching the channel.
100% agree with that PlayStation 1 comment! I also had a spreadsheet with the latest releases! I appreciate the physical PS1 boxes even more now than what I used to!
Thanks for the reminder on prime games I just ordered 3 more switch games! And I think the 360 games should be accessible all the way round like a 360 tower 🤷♂️ maybe ? Love the video 👍
One of the ways I’ve always thought about cutting down my collections is duplicates, be it the same game on different consoles, variants or budget releases. But… These are some of my favourite games to collect lol 😂
Yes! Having a plan is always great! Excited to see what you change up! I’ve been thinking about changing things up in the game room too. Just have to start moving things around 😅
Mate I know exactly what you mean and can empathise with how you feel mate. You have changed rooms twice and this project took blood sweat and tears (money , same thing) 😅 you don’t want to look at a 4.0 yet, it’s too soon . It’s nice to see a shiney thing and pick it up but slimming down is so refreshing Iv had to really declutter this year not just for my headspace but so I can focus my finances on games that I’m passionate about just like you said Callum “all killer no filler” I’m currently on a mad Wii binge guilty pleasure so if you do want to sell any Wii games hit me up bro 🤙
Ohh ultimate Spider-Man limited edition. Cost me 3 quid in my local pilgrims hospice. The guy that runs the local independent game shop round the corner wasn't best pleased as I got there 2 mins before he did and was already on my way to the till by the time he turned up. I did leave him Spyro and Jack and daxter though lol. Limited space is the reason I won't pick up collectors editions or big box sets. It all has to fit in uniformly. Even I'm getting to the point where I need to shift on some lesser valued titles, or duplicates. I really hate getting rid of anything that hasn't showed signs of slowing down price wise though. I tend not to collect for systems that are soft modded though as I already have free access to their entirely library. It's also the reason why the 360 is the system I own the most games for as modding that console is an absolute ballache and requires a skill set way above what I'm capable of. Also recently been picking up psvr games. There's a specific one I really want as well that's never in stock in cex. I bit the bullet a few days back and bought it digitally. But it's not the same, especially since I believe it's going to be a hot ticket game later down the road that I want in on the ground floor with
Definately one of your best vids in a while, love the 3.0... Was always surprised you went with showing the front facing snes games that way up rather than go more slimline shelving and having them the right way round, anyways it still looks awesome, some real good ideas to make the most of the room! As i keep getting told FOCUS...i would focus on the snes additions, putting more money into that first. Nice one
Just wondering if you flip the bottom SNES shelf whether a SNES game will fit vertically on it... looks tight given you'd only have the space that's currently between the top of the front 'lip' and the shelf above... the current forward facing games obviously fit, but they sit a little lower down being in the 'dip' and are angled back a bit whereas games on the flipped shelf would need to be vertical. Wouldn't want you to flip the shelves and find out the hard way 😬
Some Switch games are finally coming down in price, sadly though the Nintendo developed ones will ALWAYS remain ludicrously high. Even older Pokémon games still go for £35 and that's in CEX.
I used to have a massive collection and depending on your perspective, I still do but one of the things I figured out is that the collecting is a symptom of a individual issue. For me, it was an attempt to make myself happy by attempting to recreate the nostalgic feelings associated with my youth. Yours might be similar or perhaps completely different but its a futile attempt and the more you attempt to 'make yourself happy' with an endeavour that will never do so, you end up buying more and more and more with less and less success. Eventually, the collecting takes over and the collection dictates your action. The collection ends up owning you. I get the feeling that based on the content of this video, you're starting to feel the wane because at the end of the day, its just a bunch of plastic.
Never really thought about it like that but think you might be on to something think I do the same started colection after I quit drinking and I do enjoy it but definitely can be just as ad as alcohol @@samcushing3790
@@samcushing3790think you might be on to something I stopped drinking about 4 years ago and starteda game colection but feel like this hobby can be as addictive as drinking speech buy repeat over and over time to re evaluate 😊
@@samcushing3790I’m am going through the same thought process, I’m looking around thinking do I need all this? I think im going to be selling my collection, keeping a few favourites and moving on
I dont even have a gameroom at the moment. Had to give it up for my son😂. There are plans for building one in the backyard but thats gonna take some time. In the meantime i keep buying more😅
Sounds like another epic journey you’ll be embarking on mate 🤙🏼 Love the idea with the SNES wall man.. thought for you with the forward facing games.. obvs still colour coded 😊 but pick your ultimate favs with the best front covers so they draw your eyes… looking forward to seeing the transformation 🤙🏼🤙🏼
Great vlog mate love the ideas, I have recently decided to focus on my Nintendo Switch collection. I am also going to start collecting amiibo figures. I think the wife might kill me.🤦🏻♂️😂
I understand where you're coming from. I collect a few different things. Physical media is general is my main. I've recently gone through a massive sort out to get rid of a ton of stuff i'll never watch. It's let me display other things better. It's probably the hardest thing to do as a collector of anything XD
Just got a switch for the first time. Picked up a couple of games way below UK prices from Japan, and managed to find a copy of Maneater in Game for £1, but I'm picking up games a lot slower than I do for other systems because the prices are generally a fair bit higher
I'm happy with my modded Xbox Series S and Switch as it takes up no space. I understand the desire for physical media though. Looks great, tangible, the thrill of the hunt etc but i'm broke. 😂Good video :)
I have every game you have! Just my games collection are all stored as data a few 5tb USB drives! 😊 emulation or playing games on a custom firmware installed console is the way to go!
I had to make a choice a long time ago about what I was going to collect due to space and money. So I decided to collect basically ps2 and up, I got some ps1 and saturn stuff but very limited. I decided that most cartridge stuff I can emulate pretty easy. I live about hour from the Limited Run retail store which is bad for my addiction of big pretty card board boxes. That right now is my biggest space problem and I am also getting back into transformers which is also an idiot move on my part but what can you do.
Just bought sea of stars physical on the series x. You never see that one in stores.. i think series x may one day be the next mega drive. With extremely expensive and low print physical copys.
Space for Physical Media is Always a Challenge. I have to admit I ways Assume that one week your going to announce that your expanding your gaming room. I'm sure it will happen one day 😛 Crackin Video As always fella,
Started collecting about over year ago because I grew up with PS2/PS3. It went from collecting PS2 and PS3 games to now also collecting Xbox 360 and PS1 games. I'm considering collecting Switch games at somepoint. Is this normal or am I developing a spending problem? 😂
I stopped a long time ago to get every game. I just buy now the games I played when I was younger or I can flip for some cash. But no sets anymore, the only full sets I have are on my Anbernic. Or for emulators on stream.
A bit disappointing to see the move toward Switch collecting (away from the 360) as that seems to be more common with there being more Switch collectors in the world. However, being a collector in Japan, the space issue is more than understandable.
I'm in a similar boat to you callum. Mind you I'm sans room at present. I've a few titles for consoles I want to collect but for older stuff (ie n64 and before) I plan on getting a cabinet sort of setup to have all f those there so I literally have more space for other things. Also put custom firmware on a 2ds and have my 3ds and ds games "backed up" on an sd card so I don't have to have those games on display anymore (or at all lol)
dont get rid of something you will later on regret getting rid of as you said maybe put it in storage we have all got rid of something we later on wanted games dvds ect only for it to be hard to find again or gone up in price and is far to expensive to buy again
You can play them , finish them and review your games. Do a top ten on each system, show walkthroughs etc and live feeds of you playing. So lots of content you can do
You’re right the switch is definitely the best Nintendo console ever! I’m going for a full super rare games switch collection , they do some amazing games , and they are an English company, and the games are limited to between 2000/4000 copies , at the moment I’ve got about 50 games of the 115 and 9 of the 11 collector editions they released , some of the games really sky rocket in price as well!
Last day of June is epic mate really really deep unique story game very clever you play out the last day of June over and over again each last day you get a little bit closer to saving your late wife called June in flashbacks really pulls the heart strings mate. If you want I’m happy to lend it to you if you would like to play it
Not every game is where a purchase its as straight forward as that. I tend to do lists i tick off per console there will be around 130 each console nothong to mad. But there all titles that are hits with mostly everyone and myself. When games rooms start getting clutterd/ lack of space its turning into hourding not actual game collecting
Had a feeling it was Sea of Stars as soon as you started talking about the visuals. Just picked it up physically on PS5 recently and it is gorgeous. Only game that rivals it visually for me is Star Ocean Second Story R (also on switch). Seriously beautiful games and they're both very good imo. I hope to see Kula World in that PS1 all killer no filler shelf one day 😂😂
Space is a premium, so concentrating on getting games you will play is the way to go. I've not seen sea of stars before, but will have to give it a go.
Have you played Death's Door yet? As you're a fan of A Link to the Past, then I'm sure it's one you'd really like. Still my favourite game on the Switch.
Great video as always. Agreed with what you said about if it weren’t for the snes the switch is also my second favourite console it’s such an awesome system. You got an amazing collection totally envy your gaming room. Collecting a an interesting hobby for sure as it can overlap to becoming hoarding. But think your right in what you’re doing I’m doing a similar thing as space is limited
Full sets are for museums. It's a pointless exercise for RUclips traction only. I only have 25 to 30 ps2 games having 500 plus I would need a bigger house.
I always have a look periodically and always end up moving stuff on that i know ill nevwr touch. Always works out well imo. Move shit on and put that towards stuff you actually care for
Switch is an epic system to focus on. I have over 300 switch games and love collecting for this epic system. Can’t wait to see what get your self in the future😊
You can buy lego tape which can stick to walls and then you can put lego pieces and figures on it. I think the branded stuff was called Mayka tape or something!?
I've never played the switch , might try and encourage my son to get one for Christmas 😅 does look fun , and like you said , if the games are coming down in price, might be a good time
@@NicksPokeStop I'm excited for my son to really start getting into it , see if I can get one off one of the nephews who don't play it anymore, how much was the oled one ?
Well, very happy my gets thid week: A CIB True Lies on Mega Drive and two loose carts for Snes, Firemen and Alien Vs Predator. Been enjoying playing Firemen. Was Astonished that Cex in Stoke had both, two games of that snes rarity in one store.
for ur xbox 360 space problem if i where u i have removed all big collectors boxes sidewards or onces like the saints rows 2 with only a big box because in my eyes they only take space, but everybody likes differents things. only have the batman arkham city collectors edition here anyways;p
Some great ideas there mate, regarding the legos will you be getting the official Zelda set when it’s released I wanted to one to keep as ocarina of time and one to keep as breath of the wild but I think they’re £300+ so doubt that’s happening for me 😂

I love Lego I just wish i had more space to display them, I own my grail Lego set the Ghostbusters firehouse the figures for that alone are expensive to buy seperately!
Yeah switch is my focus again after having sell up. Sea of stars I think I'm going to have to get on the prime day deals! So many games I want for the switch and can get them cheaper especially with vinted

One option is: sell it all, focus on the SNES only, lots of people have giant game collections, but only few have a full SNES set.

I tend not to collect for systems that are soft modded though as I already have free access to their entirely library. It's also the reason why the 360 is the system I own the most games for as modding that console is an absolute ballache and requires a skill set way above what I'm capable of. Also recently been picking up psvr games. There's a specific one I really want as well that's never in stock in cex. I bit the bullet a few days back and bought it digitally. But it's not the same, especially since I believe it's going to be a hot ticket game later down the road that I want in on the ground floor with
Definately one of your best vids in a while, love the 3.0...
Was always surprised you went with showing the front facing snes games that way up rather than go more slimline shelving and having them the right way round, anyways it still looks awesome, some real good ideas to make the most of the room!
As i keep getting told FOCUS...i would focus on the snes additions, putting more money into that first.
Nice one
What amazon switch deals did you cop? I grabbed Wonder Boy Returns Remix yesterday
Love the Promotion and Relegation addition to the Xbox 360 corner. Some games better get their act together 😂
Just wondering if you flip the bottom SNES shelf whether a SNES game will fit vertically on it... looks tight given you'd only have the space that's currently between the top of the front 'lip' and the shelf above... the current forward facing games obviously fit, but they sit a little lower down being in the 'dip' and are angled back a bit whereas games on the flipped shelf would need to be vertical. Wouldn't want you to flip the shelves and find out the hard way 😬
Some Switch games are finally coming down in price, sadly though the Nintendo developed ones will ALWAYS remain ludicrously high. Even older Pokémon games still go for £35 and that's in CEX.
I used to have a massive collection and depending on your perspective, I still do but one of the things I figured out is that the collecting is a symptom of a individual issue. For me, it was an attempt to make myself happy by attempting to recreate the nostalgic feelings associated with my youth. Yours might be similar or perhaps completely different but its a futile attempt and the more you attempt to 'make yourself happy' with an endeavour that will never do so, you end up buying more and more and more with less and less success. Eventually, the collecting takes over and the collection dictates your action. The collection ends up owning you. I get the feeling that based on the content of this video, you're starting to feel the wane because at the end of the day, its just a bunch of plastic.
Never really thought about it like that but think you might be on to something think I do the same started colection after I quit drinking and I do enjoy it but definitely can be just as ad as alcohol @@samcushing3790

Cornwall here!
...no dog though 🤣
@@samcushing3790think you might be on to something I stopped drinking about 4 years ago and starteda game colection but feel like this hobby can be as addictive as drinking speech buy repeat over and over time to re evaluate 😊
@@samcushing3790I’m am going through the same thought process, I’m looking around thinking do I need all this? I think im going to be selling my collection, keeping a few favourites and moving on
I dont even have a gameroom at the moment. Had to give it up for my son😂. There are plans for building one in the backyard but thats gonna take some time. In the meantime i keep buying more😅
Future Switch pickups... and a nod to Sea of Stars.
This was probably my favourite vlog to date 😂
Sounds like another epic journey you’ll be embarking on mate 🤙🏼
Love the idea with the SNES wall man.. thought for you with the forward facing games.. obvs still colour coded 😊 but pick your ultimate favs with the best front covers so they draw your eyes… looking forward to seeing the transformation 🤙🏼🤙🏼
I will just say whats everbody is thinking.... 4.0
Great vlog mate love the ideas, I have recently decided to focus on my Nintendo Switch collection. I am also going to start collecting amiibo figures. I think the wife might kill me.🤦🏻♂️😂
I understand where you're coming from. I collect a few different things. Physical media is general is my main. I've recently gone through a massive sort out to get rid of a ton of stuff i'll never watch. It's let me display other things better.
It's probably the hardest thing to do as a collector of anything XD
Just got a switch for the first time. Picked up a couple of games way below UK prices from Japan, and managed to find a copy of Maneater in Game for £1, but I'm picking up games a lot slower than I do for other systems because the prices are generally a fair bit higher
8:35 The Dark Past surfaces 😂
I found your one game you are missing on Amazon fifa 17 what system is for?
Buy a game, play it.
Display games you've finished. Store games you haven't.
I am going for a full Wii lego set only need Lord of the rings now!
I'm happy with my modded Xbox Series S and Switch as it takes up no space. I understand the desire for physical media though. Looks great, tangible, the thrill of the hunt etc but i'm broke. 😂Good video :)
You should look for Ys origins on switch, or any of the Ys games.
I do one in one out with my switch games great shout on your 360 collection
one of the best times of the week, lets go!
Maybe cart some of the filler stuff off to a storage unit and keep it purely for the monetary value?
I have every game you have! Just my games collection are all stored as data a few 5tb USB drives! 😊 emulation or playing games on a custom firmware installed console is the way to go!
I had to make a choice a long time ago about what I was going to collect due to space and money. So I decided to collect basically ps2 and up, I got some ps1 and saturn stuff but very limited. I decided that most cartridge stuff I can emulate pretty easy. I live about hour from the Limited Run retail store which is bad for my addiction of big pretty card board boxes. That right now is my biggest space problem and I am also getting back into transformers which is also an idiot move on my part but what can you do.
Just bought sea of stars physical on the series x. You never see that one in stores.. i think series x may one day be the next mega drive. With extremely expensive and low print physical copys.
15:57 i know this song but i cant remember what it's from and it's bugging me!! What is it from lol
Switch collecting is the way 🙌🏽.. I started my collection around 10month ago and already have around 100+ all top games 😁👌🏽
Space for Physical Media is Always a Challenge. I have to admit I ways Assume that one week your going to announce that your expanding your gaming room. I'm sure it will happen one day 😛
Crackin Video As always fella,
Space saving tips I wouldn't have the same games on ps3 and the 360 more so with common titles at least. I've gone with pro evo on 360 and fifa on ps3
Started collecting about over year ago because I grew up with PS2/PS3.
It went from collecting PS2 and PS3 games to now also collecting Xbox 360 and PS1 games.
I'm considering collecting Switch games at somepoint.
Is this normal or am I developing a spending problem? 😂
I think it's normal.
I have ps2/360 just.
But right now 360 only.
Otherwise my ocd will go nuts.
I stopped a long time ago to get every game. I just buy now the games I played when I was younger or I can flip for some cash. But no sets anymore, the only full sets I have are on my Anbernic. Or for emulators on stream.
A bit disappointing to see the move toward Switch collecting (away from the 360) as that seems to be more common with there being more Switch collectors in the world. However, being a collector in Japan, the space issue is more than understandable.
Love the switch collection vibe got quite a few of the Limited Run ones now just to have something different 😂😂
I'm in a similar boat to you callum. Mind you I'm sans room at present. I've a few titles for consoles I want to collect but for older stuff (ie n64 and before) I plan on getting a cabinet sort of setup to have all f those there so I literally have more space for other things. Also put custom firmware on a 2ds and have my 3ds and ds games "backed up" on an sd card so I don't have to have those games on display anymore (or at all lol)
dont get rid of something you will later on regret getting rid of as you said maybe put it in storage we have all got rid of something we later on wanted games dvds ect only for it to be hard to find again or gone up in price and is far to expensive to buy again
Is the window area a necessity? ..
Could you take that out and use that wall as more storage space ?
Probably required to meet building code, unless a skylight was added
You can play them , finish them and review your games.
Do a top ten on each system, show walkthroughs etc and live feeds of you playing.
So lots of content you can do
You’re right the switch is definitely the best Nintendo console ever! I’m going for a full super rare games switch collection , they do some amazing games , and they are an English company, and the games are limited to between 2000/4000 copies , at the moment I’ve got about 50 games of the 115 and 9 of the 11 collector editions they released , some of the games really sky rocket in price as well!
Last day of June is epic mate really really deep unique story game very clever you play out the last day of June over and over again each last day you get a little bit closer to saving your late wife called June in flashbacks really pulls the heart strings mate. If you want I’m happy to lend it to you if you would like to play it
I appreciate it mate, but its one I'll pick up eventually... not in a rush, it's not like I don't have anything else to play 😅
Not every game is where a purchase its as straight forward as that. I tend to do lists i tick off per console there will be around 130 each console nothong to mad. But there all titles that are hits with mostly everyone and myself. When games rooms start getting clutterd/ lack of space its turning into hourding not actual game collecting
Worth*
Had a feeling it was Sea of Stars as soon as you started talking about the visuals. Just picked it up physically on PS5 recently and it is gorgeous. Only game that rivals it visually for me is Star Ocean Second Story R (also on switch). Seriously beautiful games and they're both very good imo. I hope to see Kula World in that PS1 all killer no filler shelf one day 😂😂
I'll have to take a look into that one, thank you
@@RetroGhetto No problem! It's a 90s PS1 game remade for modern consoles but they kept that retro feel to it and made it super pretty. I love it
Space is a premium, so concentrating on getting games you will play is the way to go. I've not seen sea of stars before, but will have to give it a go.
Have you played Death's Door yet? As you're a fan of A Link to the Past, then I'm sure it's one you'd really like. Still my favourite game on the Switch.
Great video as always. Agreed with what you said about if it weren’t for the snes the switch is also my second favourite console it’s such an awesome system. You got an amazing collection totally envy your gaming room. Collecting a an interesting hobby for sure as it can overlap to becoming hoarding. But think your right in what you’re doing I’m doing a similar thing as space is limited
Full sets are for museums. It's a pointless exercise for RUclips traction only. I only have 25 to 30 ps2 games having 500 plus I would need a bigger house.
You need to start collecting for the ps5 I’m up to 380 games on the pa5 all on disc
Good morning.Please go for a full set of everything
I always have a look periodically and always end up moving stuff on that i know ill nevwr touch. Always works out well imo. Move shit on and put that towards stuff you actually care for
Switch is an epic system to focus on. I have over 300 switch games and love collecting for this epic system. Can’t wait to see what get your self in the future😊
I thank you for taking about the Xbox 360 video games.
You can buy lego tape which can stick to walls and then you can put lego pieces and figures on it. I think the branded stuff was called Mayka tape or something!?
Wouldn't blu tack do the same? It would look pretty mad, having a row of mini Figs above the light all the way around. Has to be a few hundred
Guessing you got sonic superstars too!
I've never played the switch , might try and encourage my son to get one for Christmas 😅 does look fun , and like you said , if the games are coming down in price, might be a good time
Got a switch oled a month or two ago. It's been great fun so far
@@NicksPokeStop I'm excited for my son to really start getting into it , see if I can get one off one of the nephews who don't play it anymore, how much was the oled one ?
@@slimrockwrestlers7334 oled was £299.99 brand new at argos
Well, very happy my gets thid week: A CIB True Lies on Mega Drive and two loose carts for Snes, Firemen and Alien Vs Predator. Been enjoying playing Firemen. Was Astonished that Cex in Stoke had both, two games of that snes rarity in one store.
for ur xbox 360 space problem if i where u i have removed all big collectors boxes sidewards or onces like the saints rows 2 with only a big box because in my eyes they only take space, but everybody likes differents things. only have the batman arkham city collectors edition here anyways;p
Epic GGG-unit scores!!!😎😎😎😎
Some great ideas there mate, regarding the legos will you be getting the official Zelda set when it’s released I wanted to one to keep as ocarina of time and one to keep as breath of the wild but I think they’re £300+ so doubt that’s happening for me 😂
I'd love the mini figs, but the set is too big for me, defeats the purpose of collecting mini figs 😅
I knew the Switch game was going to be Sea of Stars. Such a great game, enjoy!
You say it yourself bro, “all killer, no filler”. Sell up some of the chaff.
The guy is a hoarder , he ain’t gonna listen 🤣
@@Adamlcgmbuys absolutely anything. At silly high prices too 😂🤦🏻♂️
@@louiehewitt6514 yeah, he does remind me in some ways though, I have ADHD so he definitely has it on a more extreme scale than me, I have mild ADHD but he must have it bad , has about 9 different collections going on at one time
@@Adamlcgm different collection focus every week 😂 each to their own but who needs all the essentials collections and who needs a full SNES boxed collection. Now it’s the Switch. Mad thing is I’m seeing people copy the collecting habits too. I swear Callum bought three 360 games those cabela ones and another and some guy posted exact same ones in a group on fb not long after lol. I’m not hating, I love collecting myself but I also notice the strange habits. I’d never waste money on completely shite games I’m never gonna play. Maybe this video is one of realisation that RG is finally gonna calm down a bit but I doubt it 😂
@@louiehewitt6514 you forgot the Lego mini figures collection 🤣 - nah I’m totally the same , I genuinely love Callum’s content , watch all his videos but my brain just simply cannot comprehend how much he’s chopping and changing, starting and finishing things etc - I’m getting lost in it all 🤣
is there going to be a 5.0 ??`
❤😊😊😊
I love Lego I just wish i had more space to display them, I own my grail Lego set the Ghostbusters firehouse the figures for that alone are expensive to buy seperately!
Yeah switch is my focus again after having sell up. Sea of stars I think I'm going to have to get on the prime day deals! So many games I want for the switch and can get them cheaper especially with vinted
Yeah an amazing system to collect for Adam mate. A beautiful looking game .. just need to get myself to enjoy turn based RPGs now
Sounds like you're going down the Kev route....have a separate shed full of extra games that can't fit in the games room 😆
Get rid of all wii U, bang! Loads of space 😂
Andro Dunos 2 is less han 2 quid on PS4 store atm, noticed some familiar music 😂 (and Ultracore, which is a unfinished Genesis game that got released, dno if you know it 🤔
Re: your games, some of the complete collections must be stuff taking up space?
I admit you've a vast collection, and i still enjoy a blast on retro Mario games now & again..
I've recently got back into og xbox with some classic racing games, but i'll never collect, main reason? There is no way i'll ever play them all!!
They may look good displayed, but just to have them sitting there? Nah..
