im talking big box packing....like the MW2 goggles packing,the new MK collectors edition etc...

 

[fillyacup]

oh, shit i would. thats the whole reason to get the SE i think.

 

[mrtonguetwista]

Only big box package I got is the Halo Reach legendary edition only reason I didnt regret buying the $150 deal is cause I got $90 for my flaming helmet code lol

But I do want to throw this big ass statue out haha

 

[mrtonguetwista]

But I do keep my collection in mint condition with the manuals and artwork

Even though I have deep pockets, I wouldnt buy the $300 Dirt 3 special edition lol

 

[MysticOracle]

yeah this fool keeps the statues or whatever it comes with out than puts the boxes up in a closet

Are we talking bout STICK here? lol

 

[mrtonguetwista]

I did want the zombie statue that the Euros got for their special edition Dead Rising 2

 

[MysticOracle]

not just the contents of "special editions" the boxes that they come in

 

[STICK]

Are we talking bout STICK here? lol

Haha I was thinking the same thing

In fairness to me though

I only have four of the big box CEs (ACII, AC:BH, Halo: Reach and inFAMOUS 2). I was so tempted to get the Killzone 3 Helghast Edition but I held off due to not knowing if I would like the game as much as Killzone 2, and I like it better than Killzone 2 and regret not getting it now!

And yes, I have all the boxes. I also keep my console boxes as well, but that's so they'll be easier to pack when moving

I've learned not to get the giant SEs when they first release cause they drop in price very quickly

Helgast is now $60

 

[MysticOracle]

i keep my console boxes...but why keep the other boxes?

 

[mrtonguetwista]

Well the center of the Halo box is molded for the statue to fit in

Why you keep console box?

I liked to sit my console and tv boxes in front of neighbor's house and watch them get broken into lol

 

[fillyacup]

i keep the console box full of bottle caps

 

[mrtonguetwista]

You always see the dumbass people after Xmas putting their big ass 55" tv box on the curb with out breaking it down.

I break all my boxes down and put them in dark (as opposed to white) garbage bags

i keep the console boxes as stick mentioned for moving purposes..makes packing them easier .

that shit would be a riot watching people around here pillaging boxes that were left empty outside my place...bad part about that would be they might try to come into the residence....swear to god i moved under dead of night so people wouldnt see the TV

 

[mrtonguetwista]

lol

The first uhaul I backed up to the house I only had some furniture and I seen two white kids on Mongoose bikes scoping it out..so the next trip with uhaul I used a tarp on both sides from the front door to truck so they couldnt see what was coming off the truck lol

 

[MysticOracle]

like that scene in ET where the government snatched up elliot and ET lol

The thing for me, I get the CEs for games I REALLY want and think are worth it, so I can't wait for them to go down...and by the time they drop it's usually after any return period and I can't be bothered to fuck with eBay.

Where is the Helghast for $60????
