    I have a full set of the FF7 retro figures, the little black plastic discs are weights. They put them in the blind boxes to make them all weigh the same so you can't cheat and weigh boxes to know which figure is inside- pretty smart.

    • @dcashley303

      Good idea for sure but they should have just made all the figures the same weight, less wasteful.

    Not gonna lie, but as a game collector, one that collects game with emotional value to me, I teared up a bit with your reaction showing the Earthbound game... This was such an amazing video, that joy, the joy of collecting video game stuff and treasuring everything, that's what playing games and having an emotional connection to them means ❤️

    I swear, every time you post a video on here, I think to myself "Wow, Zion is like the nicest guy ever. I'm glad he's doing well!" The same of course can be said about your fellow Nintendo Life creators, but it's always just so uplifting to hear from you and whatever you've been up to. You always have such a bright and positive way of storytelling and sharing your interests. And the content you create is always very clearly something that you're really passionate about and that you think will mean something to a lot of people. Just wanted to say I appreciate you and I'm glad that life has been treating you well. Congrats on obtaining the holy grail of your collection. You definitely deserve it! And the way in which you obtained it is a testament to not only the special bond that EarthBound fans have with one another, but also the camaraderie between all the wonderful people at Nintendo Life!

    Earthbound was one of my very first Super Nintendo games. I ended up buying the Super Nintendo from a friend who sold it to me with 2 controllers, the system, power adapter, cable to hook to the TV and 4 games. The games were Super Mario World, Mega Man X, Toys (based on the Robin Williams movie) and Earthbound. I even got the big box and everything with Earthbound. Unfortunately, the box didn't last because of my little brother and some of his friends. I held onto the game and strategy guide for a long time but eventually, I ended up getting rid of my Super Nintendo and moving on to the Playstation. I think I gave it to my little brother but, he didn't keep anything.
    I do remember one time while I was working in 2000/2001, I was browsing the video games at the store I worked at. I was looking at Playstation games but, something caught my eye that had fallen behind the shelves of one of the displays. I asked if I could see what it was and it was exactly what I thought. A brand-new sealed copy of Earthbound. I asked the clerk how much it would be and they said they would have to check. Unfortunately, it was no longer in the computer system. They said they would check with the manager and they gave me a price of $75. Unfortunately, I didn't have that much on me that day. I told them I would come back. Of course, when I came back, they had already sold it. I was really disappointed. I'm the one that spotted it behind the shelves. They didn't even know it was there. I just feel I should have gotten some say in it.

    The black circles in the FFVII figurine boxes are weights to prevent people from being able to tell which character is in each box. Kind of a messed up thing for Square to do if you ask me- big waste of plastic.

I LOVE that you really enjoy and interact with the things you have, and enjoy them as they’re meant to be enjoyed. ♡
    SO glad you were able to get that full Earthbound set, and from such an incredible and wonderful place ♡

    It's funny seeing the development of Zion, like from the early days were he almost looked like he was crying in his videos, to opening up and getting more and more jokey in them and then to finally completely unleashing the nerd within him, getting excited about plushies. 😂 I'm also a very avid retro collector and regularly freak out to a similar extent whenever I find myself something I've ever wanted. Like a CIB Spice Orange GBA or a player guide of Banjo Kazooie

The people with you in that really love you and that’s what made me tear up, all of them gathering and expressing their love for you and the work that you do. And I loved the rest of the video too with the explanations of how you communicated with others, traded with others and simply bought things, it was the in detail descriptions of how you acquired said item that had me interested.

    If it's of interest to you, the deck of Dishonored cards isn't a tarot deck but instead an 'in universe' card game, 'The game of Nancy', which came packaged in with the special edition of the original release. I've never managed to get around to learning how to play my copy, so can't say whether it's any good - but it's a cool thing nonetheless.
