I have... let's see... the original small sleeve like the above, the huge DVD box edition (missing one Heroclix figure when I bought it, always annoyed me), and the box set CoV. And all but two comics.

 

Bought the extra editions mostly because they were a good buy for the game card, might have even thrown away a few small sleeves bought from the discount rack for that purpose and a few game cards ditto. But kept them all these years, even when they were just... junk.

 

And FWIW, I became aware of CoH and signed up days after launch because of ads in MAD magazine...

I had my copies ages ago, but eventually, I tossed them.  I could buy them cheap on ebay for the nostalgia, but I find PLAYING the game provides all the nostalgia I need.

Sadly I used to have a ton of CoX stuff.  Special editions, binders, figures, comic books, etc. etc.  I actually had two of everything.  Then a couple years after shutdown, I moved and decided to get rid of everything I could no longer use.  I am hoping that maybe I saved some of the comics and figures somewhere but I haven't gone through my storage to see.  

 

But just like JnEricsonx I'm so darn happy to have the actual game back that I really don't even miss all of that extra stuff.  It would probably be fun to look it all over again but alas...  if I kept all of my MMO paraphernalia from every game I would need another room for it all.

 

Still it's really fun to see you guys post about some of it.  Brings back memories.  Thanks!  😀 (might have to go digging through storage now just to see if I did save the figures)

 

Did anyone else have the Prima binders?  I wish I had kept those too just to look through and see how much the game has changed since then...

Came across some CoH game nostalgia of a different sort.  Written on 3×5 index cards:

1101 Neuronia's arc 

4075 Save the Warrior Clan

13011 Operation Antibody @Coronaviridae

13710 Herolympics @Psyonico

2266 A Few Clowns Short of a Circus @Trickshooter

 

etc..  lists of some of the many player created AE arcs I'd played through

I had the Prima book. Like most commercially published software books, it was out of date by launch and useless by Issue 3.

I just recently found the "poster" I made for that story arc!

I probably should have added I was writing down the arcs I had particularly enjoyed.  Many of them became incorporated as content I did while varying how I leveled a given character.

I literally just threw away the entire CoV collectors edition box + all swag (as in, yesterday). All the heroclix, maps, everything.

Among my collection...

 

Issue 0 instruction book.  Contains a lot of outdated information, such as when Gravity Control had Fold Space as one of it's powers (which functioned as Assemble the Team) and also when the 5th Column existed without the Council.

 

CoV launch instruction book, which was a recent find from an eBay auction.  The same auction also had the included poster with the map of the Rogue Isles on the back.

 

CoV prerelease disc, with previews and early info on what to expect from CoV.

 

Black Scorpion Heroclix figure

 

CoV press kit cape.  A black cape with the red Arachnos logo.  Distributed at various events, though I got it from my brother who worked at Circuit City when CoV launched. He was able to get one from the media packs they were sent.

 

CoH Architect Edition, which I bought in the event of reinstalls; a more current version meant less waiting for updates on new computers/drives.  This version had an updated map with all the extra zones added to the game compared to the launch edition map.

 

A handful of the official comics.  I have the last couple issues of the Blue King run and the first few of the Top Cow issues which I got while they were mailing them out.  I found a few more of the Top Cow issues at a comic shop not too long ago too.

 

I'm pretty sure I have the Statesman TCG card somewhere.  Never got into the TCG though but I think that card came with something.

Currently playing on Indomitable as @Zork Nemesis; was a Protector native on live.

Who hurt you, @Hew?  Who made you do this?

Haha. nobody. It was just taking up space, and that was the start of our whole-house cleanup, since we rented a rollaway. Lots of stuff went, and other than sentimental reasons, it didn't do me much good. 🙂

You know that eBay is a thing, right?

I still have the box.

Hard to believe I bought this game on CLEARANCE at Target.

Years of Joy.

Hell, someone gave it to me back in the day, and it was outdated by the time I got it.  I started not long before I5...so I didn't experience the pain of the first Regen Nerf.

I have my CoH and CoV boxes as well as a legion of those awesome comics they used to ship, all in mint condition.  I'm a nostalgic 🙂

 

 

I was lucky enough to find scanned pdfs of the comics years back. Now I can't remember what online storage service I put them in. Sigh.
