The best Shenmue collection ever? (56k? might be bad 4u)

[Shenmue4Life]

My first post, so I have yet to browse the site for others. Here is a fine collection I own of the Shenmue releases on the Dreamcast w/ 1 on the XBOX. If anyone has one I am missing, or a better collection, feel free to post! Sorry, but they were taken at a friends house with my cell phone's crappy "1.3MP" camera, I beg to differ. If requested I can post some with a better camera.

This is the entire collection I have of just the games:
First Column: Shenmue (Jap), Shenmue (US), Shenmue LE (US)
Second Column: US Shenmue (Jap), Shenmue (EU), Shenmue II (EU)
Third Column: Shenmue II (Jap), Shenmue II (US) Xbox


This is the collection of the US only releases:


This is the collection of the Japanese only releases:


This is the collection of the European only releases:


and finally, all of the discs separated into their sections, 32 in total:

Welcome to the Dojo and thank you for showing your collection!

This is the collection of our "champ" Axm:



You can see more detailed pictures here in his topic:

Anyway, I'll move this topic to Shenmue I forum.

No one tops AxM not JUST because he has a alot of stuff but the some of the stuff he has is SO RARE.

Though he does not post much at SD anymore he is at HD as one of our MODS but yes as far as we know within the Community of the big 3 websites SD/HD/UK AxM is king hell the man NOW LIVES IN JAPAN and even once had a YU Shrine.

Kiyuu since then he emailed me on my Wii some extra stuff he bought Shrink wrapped.

wow....very nice, and expensive I can imagine... I would like to know where he got the white label release though as I know in pre-DC production it was being designed for the Saturn which had...well, 2d in a 3d world graphics.

LOL

Gotta love newbies who think they have the best collections ever

I wonder what it is. I also wonder if he's making the most of his living in Japan now
(and having a Japanese girlfriend) to make his collection even more gorgeous. ;)

[Shenmue4Life]

can anyone tell me what this version is I have circled in crappy-paint?

It doesn't look like a promo/beta version. Bootleg or self-burnt version, possibly?

[HappyKillmore]

is that a home made case? shenmue 2 dreamcast NTSC?.

[SSJ2 Dark]

Yes, that looks like the cover designed by David Mackenzie (Lyris). I've been looking for just the right paper to use, so I haven't printed it out myself. It's very high quality and professional.

Unfortunately, that means you've got a bootleg there, Shenmue4Life. But at least it has a nice cover.

[Shenmue4Life]

SSJ2, no no, that one isnt mine...I was wondering which one it was as it had the black left border hinting at NTSC/US with a Shenmue II image which would be NTSC/J. All of mine are at the top, all legit/original. I am interested as to how to acquire the white label pre-releases, if anyone has for sale, let me know!

Hiii
Im the Axm Ryudo is creaming his pants over.
I like your collection. It looks like mine back in 2002 when I still had money to blow.
Yeah I live in Japan. I've draged my Japanese girlfriend into Shenmue aswell. She likes it just fine. Which is enough for my approval of her. ;) Although if I mention it without reason sometimes she just fills her cheaks up with air in a aggitated yet sarcastic manner.
My collections current state is pretty much the same as you saw above. Although ive added a few things like second or third copies of versions ive found here in Japan in un-opened condition.
I've got pretty much everything but the orange covered "Whats Shenmue" and the official Shenmue Timex watch(which I belive was last seen on ebay for $600)
Im pretty satisfied with what I have and its not a big priority anymore to me to obtain everything so ive stoped where I am and dont plan on getting those 2 things unless someone wants to buy it for me <3

^ Well its nice to see you here and that you still hold Shenmue in high regard - AND - that you've managed to get your girlfriend interested in the series!

I'd love to live in Japan myself one day - I keep saying it but I never end up doing it. You're lucky in having a Japanese girlfriend. Japanese women are so incredibly pretty!
