freddie Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 I am working on creating a site detailing collecting of LucasArts. Now there are a lot of things I have, but some I don't and I need more info on them and pictures if possible. Grim Fandango Collector's Edition - what does it look like? What is in the box? Any "toys", i.e. plush dolls, etc? What are they commonly called? Where were they available. Mac Full Throttle w/ Key Chain - Does this actually exist? There will be more but that is it for now.

freddie Posted February 27, 2004 Author Share Posted February 27, 2004 50 views and no responses? When I get the site in a more finished state, I will post it. Perhaps then I can receive some input once you see I am serious. Also if anyone is broke and selling any of these items, I am buying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrik Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 Sounds funky. You missed out on this though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Isaac Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 I saw this thread... but I don't know about any of the stuff you mentioned... so I didn't reply. And I guess that's why no one else replied either But anyway... Your site sounds really good and I can't wait to see . I'll be really intrested in it. (PS, did you really help develop vb?) Sounds funky. You missed out on this though. Aaah. If I'd seen that I definetly would have bought it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddie Posted February 27, 2004 Author Share Posted February 27, 2004 Yes I am one of the four vBulletin developers. Feel free to email me at freddie@vbulletin.com I would have also bought that Grim Fandago stuff as I don't have the soundtrack. Autographed games are nice but I would be more interested in other items like dolls, shirts, figures, etc. More importantly, I am looking for pictures of this stuff for the guide. If I am able to purchase fine, but pictures would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it contains a Manny figure, if not other things. Some people on here do have it, I've just never seen it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 The Grim collectors edition as far as I know didn't contain a Manny figure, that was sent separately in the shipping box as a company store gift (at least my Grim collctors edition didnt have one). The Grim collectors edition is very similar to the EMI collectors edition - in that the box is made out of harder paperboard (though the Grim one, unlike the EMI one, is a two-piece box where the front slides off, like the older LEC games), and there are silver embossed foil signatures of Tim Schafer, the lead programmer, artist, etc etc like the EMI box. The game CD's were in a carbboard foldey thing that when opened displayed the entire year 1-4 mural that shows up on the save/load game screen (but I think the regular boxed version had this paperboard CD case as well?). I believe the FT keychain, like the manny figure, was given away as a bonus gift outside the box when you ordered it from the company store - the keychain is hard rubber and is the Corley Motors "CM" logo that is rotating above the corley factory at the end of the game. I don't think there have been any plush toys made unless you count Star Wars toys. The only figures I know of are the Gladius ones. I don't even know if they actually made more than the Mongrel Man one (there were suppoesd to be four I think?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Isaac Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 Have there ever been any LucasArts adventure game Posters released? If there are, I really need to get them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATMachine Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 Yes. All the early games had posters (like Maniac Mansion, Zak McKracken, Loom, Monkey Island 1, Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, etc.) If you ever get the one for Loom, please scan it. I've heard that it shows a room in the City of the Glassmakers, containing hourglasses, that was removed from the final game. (It's similar in that regard to the close-up of the dog from the back of the MI1 box.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Isaac Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 - if anyone has them can they please scan them... I really want to have some LucasArts posters.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizball Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 Hi all, just came back from a business travel and took a pic of the Grim Fandango version you talked about (mine has 4 signatures in blue color) and the Grim Fandango toy. Only problem: I have no time to get some webspace to upload and link to it. If one of you has webspace I will gladly send the pics to him / her (500 kb each because of a high resolution). So please let me know and I will send it. I bought my copy used 2 years ago and it arrived with none of the extras. I think the Soundtrack was only available by LEC website store-order and some tiny amounts were sold at some sites specialised in Soundtracks. I got my 2 copies from Ebay. The toy was given to people as a promo item. I bought my copy again on Ebay (last year). Hope it helps and I'm curious about this new website you are working on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elTee Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 Bloooody hell... I thought I had a good LucasArts collection, but you have THREE Zak McKrackens in that picture, and the Secret of Monkey Island CD-ROM edition... *jealous* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brushguy Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 WHOA! That's some collection man! I also notice the three Sam and Max VHS tapes in the corner of the Grim Fandango box picture... It would be awesome to have all that Lucas stuff (including the Manny doll). Freddie, I can't wait to see this website of yours. I'd be willing to help with it, providing scans of some of my stuff...

freddie Posted March 1, 2004 Author Share Posted March 1, 2004 I consider Labyrinth to be Lucasarts first adventure game, but it was only released for the C64 and Apple ][. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elTee Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 I'm beginning to think that I hate you Freddie. My (rather poor, it seems) collection can be seen here. So, if there's anything there you want me to photo in hi-res I can do. The only thing that springs to mind is that Sega Monkey Island I have.

Brushguy Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 If Labyrinth was C64 and Apple only, I'm collecting all PC Lucasarts games. What I want to know is, do these count as adventures? Indy 5, Indy Desktop, Star Wars Desktop, and Indy 6? I'm beginning to think that I hate you Freddie. Stop beating yourself up. My collection is even poorer.
