Are You A Spyro 'Collector'? [CLOSED]

Say, for example, would you buy the original SOI on GBA or a double-pack with SOI and a Crash game, for instance? Do you steer away from Platinum/ Best Seller's editions or do you just want the game?

I'd have to say that when I was younger I didn't care, but now I want every Japanese release, every booklet and case... Am I crazy? smilie

Yeah, pretty much. I like to pick up 'cheap' copies of the Spyro games that I don't already have when I can.

And naw, I want as much Japanese Spyro merch as I can get. Especially shown here:


I NEED that cap. And that plush. Foward to about 8:30 to see what I mean.
Sadly, not even any Japanese sites have any info on them D:

And, damn, if only I were in Japan back in 2000- that would have been my childhood dream, to hug Spyro! Wait... Universal Studios... I already have hugged Spyro. Haha! If only I'd taken a picture smilie

I think it is, Spyro isn't alive in real life, just a fictional character for video games.

But me, I'd want everything of Spyro, even a tiny keyring of him. But I know I won't be able to find one so...
But I really want everything Spyro related, so you can say I'm a collector.

I'm not really a collector, I've got the Classics so I'm happy, but I did collect the first three black label Spyro games again, because I wanted the picture discs, and I thought it would be handy for spares, didn't get the black label versions for the other two, I'm not that bothered.

I can just pay my local gamestore. Or not. They tend to let me have the posters for free. I already have some for Super Mario Galaxy and Layton.

Most of it on eBay. Apart from the legend games and some preowned Classics, there's no other good place to find it.

As far as I know, there are no OFFICIAL Cynder plushes. However, a user from DA can sell you one if you ask them.

The spar of Spyro stuff was early last year, so don't expect to find as much as me!

There might be one sheet left. There are a good-lasting supply of random plushes and some promo display discs.

#24 Posted: 21:47:25 27/01/2011
There's always loads of stuff popping up on eBay. Just keep searching, there's nothing terribly rare (as in, it's rare for me to find something I've never seen on eBay before) from Spyro, except a figure or two that I can think of.

And no Cynder toys. The only official merch of Cynder is a pencil case set smilie

I'll do that, but I may find the same amount of stuff as you, though I don't see it as important. I have one Spyro toy and I only started to pay attention to it last week (it was under the bed for over a year). My sister wanted to play a game with me with my dragon that I call Cynder, which is purple, has red underbelly, three fins on her head, green eyes and green wings. I haven't played with it now for over 4 days because we stopped playing the game. But I'm going off topic now.

I used to be a collector. I stopped collecting when SL came out....

I actually don't have that many stuff. I have STD, GTG and YotD, but because they're copied, I can't play them on my PS2. I bought GTG and YotD again later on just so I could play them again. I haven't got STD however, but I'm planing getting it on emulator along with a bunch of games when I'm older. I have a small Spyro toy, and I honestly can't remember how I got it.... I have ETD , DotD and AHT with my other games, but I'm thinking about selling DotD, and AHT is just siting at the very back of my closet. I also have a this miny Spyro game that I got from Mc Donalds.

That's pretty much it. xD

You ask them if you can have and you'll usually get it after the game is out.

For example, I'll be getting some BW boxes on March 17 or so, after the game is released. Sometimes you can get them straight at launch, though. It just depends on the game and store. Sometimes you can't have them. I saw a wide SMG 2 poster at GAME, but I couldn't have it because over there they hand the posters back to the company of the game.

And I try to buy a major console copy of a game, and a handheld version of it. Sometimes I get two handheld versions (ANB and attempting to with TEN) or two console versions (DoTD, on Wii and PS3).
