Hi Aris, yes the FA for sure and maybe parachute and fire. Greenhouse could also be possible... I bought Mario Bros and Greenhouse to start with! I am not after pocketsize editions, I am more mature now and realised I was crazy back then paying hughe amounts for cardboard packaging just going for a full 60/60 set. Slow and steady! And Maxine's flagman is tempting...

Dear fellow collectors,
To take away some rumours...
I would like to thank you for the past 3 years of collecting. It was fun and I very much appreciated the friendly atmosphere on this forum. Guys like Aris & Mike and many others I really admire.
I must admit I got a little bit homesick to collecting old Robot & Space Toys.
When Maxime made me an offer for the whole set, I considered this as a unique opportunity to go back to my first passion and decided to proceed.
I would like to say that trading with Maxime was tough, he's short in his emails and rather direct, but I found out he's a real G&W collector. Driving 10 hours by car across France in 1 day to pick a collection is not something you do without being crazy about those stupid plastic Nintendo games....
I'm glad it's he who now has my games and I'm shure he will be along for quite some time now.
I'll keep logging in just to know if the 3 remaining PS's really exists...
Greetings,
Beni

Nice story. Thanks for sharing. I'm sure your games will be in good hands now. And I hope you'll still be a crazy collector in an other domain.
Keep on visiting us from time to time, you'll always be welcome.

PS Fire, he got from me, which I got from Indy, so, I'm thinking that one was not yours, though, I can't recall where Indy got it from....Parachute, if memory serves me correctly, he got from Indy as well, via ebay auction. Green House, I have no idea. Maybe it was yours... LOL! I love Mario Bros.! Great game, and very hard to clock!!! Green House I'm so-so on. I did manage to clock that one, but, for whatever reason, it's not amongst my faves. I don't know man.... Ideally, I wish I could have a full set of 60/60 in as close to C10 condition as possible. Those would be just for display. And would definitely want the current 26/26 known PS/NOA collection, again, as close to C10 as possible. And it would be the PS/NOA that would be my pride and joy, not the 60/60. Lots of people attained 60/60, but, how many people got 26/26? Just one - Beni! Well, technically, Maxime got it too when he bought Beni's full set, but from where I stand, there has only been one person that ever amassed the full set. And that may even change when we find the ever-elusive PS Chef and TB, and maybe even Egg.... (I'm with Brendan though on this one, I'm more than 90% sure PS Egg does not exist!) Slow and steady wins the race Mattijs! Good luck with the remaining 58! AC Hi Aris, yes the FA for sure and maybe parachute and fire. Greenhouse could also be possible...

thanks Aris, I am planning on 10-12 G&W per year, so it might take 5-6 years, but I don't care. Easy and no (financial) stress. Btw, add me on the list - COOL to be back. I seem to enjoy it even more now...

About one per month eh Mattijs? We'll see how long that lasts! ;D I can see it now.... 1 year from now..... "Hey guys, I'm at 53 out of 60. All I need are: Egg MM Pano DKC Pano CBF CSMB Flagman Ball LOL! I guess time will tell how long it takes for the "thrill of collecting" to get to you.

Hee hee, I expect it's like falling off the wagon. One drink and then you can't stop yourself.
That photo of the full set is just a wonderful, wonderful sight, even with the blurring.

UPDATED GAME ROOM AND RELOADING GAME WATCH Very nice, Maxime! I love that life-sized Hulk. You must've been relieved that he fits in your game room, it looks like his head barely fits under the ceiling.

Simply breathtaking Maxime.
I haven't seen such a comprehensive collection like this since Devster modelled the autumn/winter collection from the John Lewis bra section.
