I think it would be interesting to post what your collection looks like right now, and then after christmas post again to see how much it has changed.  i'll start

currently:
465 games
75ish boxes, 150ish manuals

favorites:
2 maxi 15 cib (plastic case version)
cheetahmen II
2 bubble bobble part 2
little samson w/ box

next goals:
bonk's adventure
caltron
flintstones: surprise at dinosaur peak

So that's where I'm at.  It would be great to be at 500 games by January, but I'm going to be busy so we'll see.  I know prices will jump pretty soon here as well, so that won't help the buying much, but the selling will be excellent.

Now it's your turn.  What do you have, and where do you hope to be by January?

i have every nes game except the myriad 6 in 1  and the 3 paninesians which i choose not to collect...also have every manual and box but the few listed in the buy sell forum  would really like to track the remaining items down before Christmas

I  need quite some retail stuff but am more interested in obscure lately.
I have about 300 completes, 50 carts, some teststuff also.
My target is to get some more proto's and another unreleased game.
Hopefully after x-mass i can add one to my list.

Nobody ever buys me gaming shit...everything I have I've purchased myself.  However, the secret Santa I'm in on another forum might get me one or two new items.

Yep, those of us who are participating in the Secret Santa here will most likely cross off some lines on our "To Get" list - unless you buy for yourself. ;D
