Rarest thing you own thread

[Yakumo]

Eh? So Kraftwerk being around longer and still gigging don't count? ;-)

Brian Eno, Gary Numan, Vangelis, Depeche Mode, Art of Noise (David Byrne more so as a solo artist), Peter Gabriel, Ultravox (well, again really just Midge Ure), New Order or Jean Michel Jarre? Albeit not so often in the charts these days, they are still extremely hardworking and far better "Electonic" musicians than Pet Shop Boys ever were and more correctly, they have been around longer than PSB.

To my mind the PSB were a duo that jumped on the electronic sound and made it into a more mainstream pop sound, but they were by no means the first, they are not the most successful, influential, longest running or hardest working!

New Order were in the charts not so long ago with "Krafty" and the track "Blue Monday" still stands out in the Electro world as being one of THEE biggest hits! It's an amazing track even now. A bit of Depeche Mode's "Violator" album (such as Personal Jesus) blows PSB out of the water!

Sorry, just had to jump in there with that one! :thumbsup:

All of the others you mentioned still don't have regular chart hits though. I'm sure they are still hard at work no doubt and I also enjoy the likes of Depeche Mode and Jean Michel Jarre but I don't see them doing as much these days. As for Kraft Works, yeah they've been around for ever but never really did anything I liked, the same goes for The Art Of Noise. All a matter of personal taste.

True, but you can hardly say PSB are regularly in the charts either, unless in Japan they are turning up like Shampoo <aaaaaarrrrrrrggggghhhhhh!> :DOH:

Probably this for the simple fact that is is still factory sealed....

Think i now have to add to my list my PS TOOL...

[oli_lar]

Rarest thing I own is probably the Win 95 version of the PC-FX Gmaker kit

Didn't cost me too much either

[WILBUR McCALMONT]

A few rare Atari JAGUAR items

• A couple Jag Voice Modems.
• Battlesphere proto/demo on a Flash Cart (probably the only one).
• A Blue/Gray JAGVR unit.
• A couple 'pimped' 6MB ALPINE units.
• Jag Kiosk.
• 4 or 5 unpainted ICD CATBOXES.

Think (well, know...:-) this is quite rare:

Rakugaki Showtime art/sketch book. But I don´t know how rare it is, but I have actually never seen another copy.

Some hard-to-find Radiant Silvergun-stuff:

It must be my green PSX debugger (DTL-H1201). It isn't that rare compared to some stuff shown in this thread, but it surely is the rarest thing I have. Haven't seen one on eBay since I bought mine in Dec 2006. Well, except for the overpriced one with the broken case which comes with a normal grey Japanese unit.

[Tomcat]

Wondermega rare?

[neull]

My most rare item would probably be my 360 dev kit, or my 360 prototype controller.

[GodofHardcore]

ask me in a few months and I'll say Persona 3

Right now it might be border down or half my Dreamcast collection

[will2097]

Yes I own the Starship Enterprise. No. Actually I don't. I do own the concept art for the announced 3DO game. Star Trek the Next Generation. It was to be made by Spectrum Holobyte and a great deal of noise was made about in the press - but it never came to much. I'm getting the stuff scanned and prep'd and eventually I'll put it on the web for all to see.

My new MegaMan Wily Wars for Mega Drive

Ive owned at least 10 copies of "international superstar soccer deluxe" and sold them one by one on ebay.

Ive owned a copy of "Super Copa" for SNES. Its the only time i`ve seen that game in real life.

Its probably not rare but i LOVE my sealed copy of "Crash N the Boys" for NES (I love american technos)

[Cactusjack1999]

Rarest thing I own is probably an original copy of Fire Pro Wrestling G (Before HUMAN went under and it was rereleased by Spike) or a full copy of the Godzilla RTS for the Sega Saturn.

I dont' have much, I'll say that right now.

[thamasha69]

Wideboy64 AGB Debug unit
Bung V64Jr
Gran Turismo 3 demo in cardboard sleeve I got before the game was released...no one seems to know where it came from :confused:

[Stupid Dufus]

Probably two PSP test discs for review. Jeanne D'arc and Syphon Filter: Logan's Shadow, the latter of which isn't released for another few weeks.

Edit: Oh, and copies ofShin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 and Odin Sphere as test discs for review.

[EvilWays]

Right now, I'd have to say my rarest item is my Kasumi Xbox (tho I'm not sure if it's complete...got it from someone on another forum).

[Jamtex]

Well what do you think is missing, the pillow is the most obvious thing it should have.

[rupert]

it's difficult to say, Ive got a few things that I think might be rare as nobody else I know has them. I know for sure that my proto cover (?) for Air Rescue on the Master System is quite rare as nobody I know has ever seen another. (the one on the right)

[ave]

My expensive games which nobody can call "rare" for its original meaning:

...and a sealed PAL Samba de Amigo w/ perfect conditioned Maracas-Box. Thats actually the only piece of soft/hardware I own that I never saw for sale ANYWHERE else but in the ebay-auction I won back in time. It cost me 160euros.

Bomber hehhe! took me about 1 year to find (ebay included, even a bit but not constant yahoo search). Then I got it and promptly Play-Asia thew them away for 45$ a piece. ._.
