Your favorite non-retail gaming items you own?

What are some of your favorite things you own that were never available on store shelves?

Other than preorder bonuses, I just have the Star Wars Rogue Squadron 3 demo disk for Gamecube. It was a kiosk demo.

[Baloo]

Yeah, I've got that same disc, although it came with my copy of Rebel Strike, so at one point it was technically available on shelves.. Although I also like the Metroid Prime Hunters Demo, good times with that.

[Malon_Forever]

The Legend of Zelda Collector's Edition (GCN) for subscribing to Nintendo Power. You get 4 great games and a demo of Wind Waker. Pretty sweet deal if you ask me.

[TonyTheTiger]

Mega Man 9 Press Kit.

[The 1 2 P]

Probably my Net Yaroze Playstation system.

[ottojello]

Game Boy Color demo cart.

[Mathius]

Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe Gate Of Thunder for the Turbo Duo was pack-in only. If so, that would be my fav.

[SamuraiSmurfette]

Can I choose this as mine too...I don't have one...but i wish

But in my own collection, I guess a big (3 foot long) 3DO sign from my old store that I found COATED in dust when we renovated. I thought it was a ceiling tile.

I have the mario galaxy coin, Blue dragon, Zelda PHG, and Assassin's creed card borad stand ups, Zelda Cell Art, Triple H and Eternal Sonata faceplate. Yeah I worked at Gamestop so I always got a lot of stuff

[Streetball 21]

I'd say the Legend of Zelda Collectors Edition also.

Also my Nintendo 64 Banana Controller cover. Why? Dunno, it just looks cool.

[DDCecil]

Just the 3 Vinyl stickies from my store window I managed to take off without ripping them:



Still need to flatten them out, add some backing to them, and hang them in my room somewhere.

[Cornelius]

Mine would have to be my Sharp NES w/ remote and 2 controllers:


2nd would be my Authorized Repair Center NES sign (NA photo... and mine has broken neon on the bottom part).

[Baloo]

I am loving that sign, must look awesome in a game room.

[BetaWolf47]

Hmm, I would think that something which was packed in with a retail system would be considered retail. Legend of Zelda: Collector's Edition came packed in with Gamecube in 2004 so it's technically retail, right? You got it on store shelves.

[Mathius]

I am loving that sign, must look awesome in a game room.

Ditto!

[SamuraiSmurfette]

I also have kiosks:
Xbox
PS2
Gamecube
NGage

[aclbandit]

My coolest thing is probably my Japanese flyer for Super Mario Bros. 2 for FDS.

However, that Authorized Repair Center sign is awesome. I really want one now.

[smork]

I've got a pair of Net Yaroze systems (Euro and JP) and a pair of Divers Dreamcasts. Actually, I several LE DCs and I don't think any of them were available at retail.

No, it was a Mail-in promotion from Nintendo for registering products on MyNintendo.
