    Good afternoon.
    Been following this forum for a while but never had the courage to speak.
    thought it was about time i broke the ice.
    i have been collecting walkmans for just over a year and have a pretty good collection.
    not upto the standards of certain collecters (Kent)!
    its getting more and more difficult in the uk to pick up reasonable working examples.
    all my walkmans function and work well.
    will try to upload a picture of my decent ones i keep in the house.
    my older/less valuble ones are up my loft or in my shed.
    hope to hear from fellow collectors.
    Thomas

    In my youth I tended to use things to destruction, hence I have none of my Game & Watch units.

    Welcome

    That is an impressive collection of Game and Watch etc.
    What are the Red, White, Orange, and Green units on the tope shelf looking like a Mini console ?

    I still have my boxed Snoopy Tennis that I have had since new. It was a lot of money (over £20) when I bought it, and I was already in my late teens (and a Snoopy fan) so I looked after it.

    Do you have any items that you have had since they were new or are they all things you have bought more recently ?

    hi
    the top shelfers are the tabletop versions.
    popeye,marios cement factory,donkey kong and snoopy.
    these are all recent purchases apart from parachute and donkey kong which i have had for years.
    its the full game and watch collection so i am pretty proud of it.

    Great collection Thomas Monteith, those little Nintendo's are really cool, check out my trip to Japan Thread, they go for silly money over there. I can post more photos if you want.

    thanks mate,i will check it out.if its been on youtube i have probably seen it.
    some of my rarer nintendo stuff is from japan,seems to be a plentiful supply there.
    think the most impressive thing is i collected 99% of the game & watches in the last 10-12 months
