The official "Hi, I'm new here!" thread

[Magikrazy]

You know, phrases like "biggest fan" and "number one fan" are thrown around quite a bit. But it seems to me you literally are "The Ultimate Mario Fan". So congratulations and welcome to the Super Mario Boards. I'm Magikrazy.

You're wrong. So wrong.

whatever, penultimate mario fan :P

Thanks for the welcomes, paisanos! I'm glad to be here!

Thanks paisanos! I'm glad to be here. It really was only a matter of time until I decided to be active.

Quick question: One of these days, after posting here for a while, I would like to get my massive Mario collection up for display as a thread. Where would be the proper place to make a thread for that? Is there a limit on the number of images per post?

Mario collection, eh? Like to see that...

I thought you might! Ta-da!: http://s173.photobucket.com/user/Execute_Robot/library/The%20Ultimate%20Mario%20Fan%20TUMF%20Collection%20Gallery?sort=6&page=1

That isn't all of it (it's also kinda out-of-date), but it's most of it. My primarily focus has always been on Mario media (games, movies, music, books) as opposed to merch. I would buy everything Mario out there that exists but I only have so many coins!

Hey, if he actually like Mario more than me then I'd be thrilled!!! :D I've been looking for a fellow fan who likes Mario as much as me for ages so we can gush about him together.

Impressive. You seem to be focused on collecting the older stuff. I have some of the stuff you have, namely the plushies, but they prefer to be out of the bag.

This is stuff belonging to my sister and me. It's not up to date, since we have figuarts Mario/Luigi, Cat Mario/Luigi/Toad, the Koopalings, Fuzzy, Buzzy Beetle, and a few other friends we missed.

Do you know nightram? He's an avid Mario collector. I admire him for all that Mario stuff he has. Perhaps I can aspire to be like him one day... I follow his blog (videogamememorabilia) because he often updates on oncoming Mario stuff as well as other video game things.

Huh, one thing, your Mario 3DS holder seems different from mine!

But yes, as you see in that picture, I *love* Mario the character. In that first picture, my favorite Mario (the one next to Luigi, with the smaller Mario on top) has a friendship bracelet on his forehead. I hope people don't take it as creepy (I'm asexual/aromantic anyway) because that's not how I'm trying to convey how much I really like Mario.

You should say that Baby Luigi wears the same friendship bracelet, indicating that they're best buddies.

Ha! That's true.

Great collection, Σ paisano! Makes me want to snuggle up with it! :fancy:

Yep, I definitely know the 'tram. He's actually asked me to test things in my collection out for him before, not to mention there are many things I have that he doesn't own. Nightram focuses on the merchandise though and always has, while I focus on media. I can't resist some Mario merch here and there, but there's just too much out there to make a complete collection possible to achieve so I collect the games, books, movies, etc. From one collector to another, both he, Mitsugu Kikai, and Pete Dorr have my utmost respect.

I'm not on Nightram's forum yet but he has invited me to join (a couple times actually XD).

I haven't seen this thread in a while! Welcome everyone!

Well, I guess I focus on the merchandise. They're always cool to look at. I rather focus on the GOOD stuff, though, like S.H. Figuarts Mario/Luigi and eventually the Mario and Luigi Nendoroid. The hideous plush bootlegs and all don't really interest me.
