The #1 would never tell me how much he spent, probably because he spent way too much, but probably about $12,000. But he's in the UK, so maybe 5,000 GBP? And how can I spend that much? Well, like I said I have every game ever made for every system in almost all region codes. Like a mint copy of "Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake" for the MSX2 in Japan which is about $300. A handheld tiger electronics "Snakes Revenge". A piece of the display that was used at the Konami booth at E3 2004. Rare items that were given to press members at conferences and such. Autographs by Kojima and Shinkawa. Konami shareholders gifts. Guides, books, posters, soundtracks, figures, lots of press and promo items, standees, the list goes on and on and on. I have roughly 250 items, plus about 400 trading cards, which are super rare.
But I've mostly stopped collecting now, and am even starting to sell some of it. I'll be going to basic training in the summer, so I wont have use or the space for it there. Plus, I need money for more practical things. Like airsoft
