So, which MGS items are you looking for the most right now?
Let's try to add a cap of the top 10 most-wanted items ;o

My list, i'll just use + or - depending on the priority:

+ MGS2 black/white ultimate sorters, IF anyone will ever sell them :mrgreen:
+ MGS shareholder gold premium package
+ MGS3 Medicom tigerstripe/naked Snake figure
+ some BIG set/lot of Japanese promotional stuff
- MGS3 or MGS4 life-size statue :(
- Metal Gear 20th Anniversary clear Snake & Big Boss figures
- MGS drama CD vol.2
- MGS4 Medicom olive drab Old Snake figure
- MGS:PO konamistyle premium package

after I'll grab 70% of these items I'd start to aim to more sealed OSTs and games (as you may have noticed already, i haven't been too much into sealed games collecting) and some more posters & promotional items.


(this might also help to exchange infos among forum users)

MGS premium plus pack sealed.

That's really it. Once I get that my collection is complete!!!!

Ok maybe not, but it's probably the only item over $300 I'm looking for.

After seeing violent snake's flickr photo, I too am in love with this beauty:
*Metal Gear Solid "Available Now" Grey Fox/Ninja Poster
Says he got it in a private sale... Wish I knew if it cost him an arm or an arm and a leg?
Probably both. :mrgreen:

I never disclose what my private sale dollar figure amounts, but it was the most expensive poster I had ever purchased before I bought the MGS4 signed one last weekend.

On a side note, the poster also exists exactly the same but where it says "Available Now" it says "Now $29.99". I know someone that has it, but prying it out of their collection would not be cheap as they know how much I paid for mine.

MGS 2 Series Figures
Metal Gear Solid: Official Guide

Metal Gear Solid VR Missions Strategy Guide
Any other English Metal Gear Guide (Preferably official ones)

Ultimately there is a dollar amount where someone will go ahead and eventually sell there prized possession. I am at a disadvantage starting my collection so late in the series. If this poster is so unattainable, then I will be content getting a banner printed. Obviously it wouldn't be the same, but it would still look pretty bad ass.

I am very curious to see what your contact is willing to accept to part with his version.

the coming soon poster violent got was sold on ebay a couple weeks before mgs4 came out for 270$ USD from the poster guy we've spoken of in the past. i think violent got his laminated poster of the msx cover poster from the same guy. i'd estimate it cost him 300$ USD.

but honestly it doesn't matter what people pay for things, it's what it's worth to them.

there were 4 promo posters on YAJ that i really wanted, but in the end i wasn't ready to spend the closing price for 770 USD for them. now that i understand the collectors market more, and realize that those posters are very rare, and they were very very mint, i sorta kick myself for not getting them. those would have been the ultimate posters to grace my wall.

however i have a setup for my wall that i think you'd all appreciate. give me some time to get some temporary framing done :)

not signatures, all from the original japanese release of MGS. perfect condition. i have the image from YAJ saved on my computer that crashed, i'll pull it over and post it. i'm building a massive database of MGS items, a website not of my collection, but rather of all the items i've (and now i hope we all) have come accross. i bid 450 or something on them.. i was shocked at the time to see it go past that.. man, there are some serious japanese collectors out there. they love their kojima!

Man, we've all been busting our balls trying to get the Junker Wiki to do that, why do you wanna re-invent the wheel? We should all help eachother out cos it's a common goal shared by many of us share. Not having a go, please don't take it the wrong way. But we all wanna achieve it, so we may as well work together? Don't you think?

I mean, you have the perfect platform here at Junker, it's established and it's a large community already.

In any case, I'd love to see those posters mate! :)
