Super Mario Galaxy Rosalina Collection!

        I want to start introdoucing you to my collection, but i'm afraid I don't have a good spot to show all of them (°ロ°) ! Let's start off with Super Mario Galaxy (SMG) and Super Mario Galaxy 2. SMG has always been one of my favorite games Nintendo has produced, replaying it over and over. When I began collecting SMG/2 merchandise based around Rosalina, she surprisingly had a handful of items. Some of them were trading cards and stickers but also found a few neat things as you can see below. 


        There's a mix of cards and stickers lying down on the table as well as some luma magnets. There was even a tattoo made by Enterplay! My favorite cards here are the SMG2 Rosalina 3D card by Ensky and SMG Rosalina Foil card by Enterplay. I obtained the 3-D Rosalina through Yahoo Auctions Japan through a shopping proxy and the Rosalina foil through eBay.

        There's also the desktop figures as well. I had no idea there was a boxed version of the desktop figures released by Subarudo「スバルドウ」until seeing listings on Mercari JP. All i knew was that they were also released as gashapon items.

        Right of the desktop figure is a Rosalina keychain. I didn't know she even had a keychain until I saw a photo of it while browsing for SMG merch! It was released by Banpresto in March 2009. There were various waves of these keychains., Rosalina debuting in the first release. This one was one of the few pieces of merch that took me the longest and is second most expensive item I bought! There's also this water toy I found first on a youtube video. There's isnt much information or listing of the SMG line other that it was made by Epoch. I was lucky to get this off of a second hand market in China through a shopping proxy. Item is legit and authentic, another of my harder items to get.

        There's also a puzzle and magent sorta hidden in the back. But yeah, that's my SMG collection. Although I did forgot to add 4 more items. One is a pin that was released as both a gashapon and had it's own little individual bag and the Super Mario Kun manga volumes that Rosalina appeared in.

        That's my SMG/SMG2 collection! I'll hopefully follow up with a Mario Kart collection soon. Let me know what your guys's thoughts!

Least and Most expensive items!

Image
           I've made around 130+ purchases during my journey to build my dream Rosalina collection, so I have a decent idea of what items I expect to be expensive, inexpensive, sought after more/less or simply region specific items not available to others. Today, I'm going to go through a list and talk about my top 5 least and most expensive items! If the item was bought online, I'll show the full price paid (accounts for shipping too). I'll also go by the price that they were bought, unless they were purchased at MSRP. This will include items that Rosalina may appear in but might not be the main focus (cameos). Without further to do, let's start! Least Expensive item #1: Jakks Super Mario 2.5 Inch Figure!!            Let's start off with the least expensive item. At $2.25. Crazy I know! We have wave 46 of the Super Mario Jakks Pacific figures line. In this line, the packaging was altered. Instead of being held on by a plastic ...

About me!

      Hello! My name is Rosaset, a collector based in the United States that specializes in collecting merchendise of Rosalina, a character from the Super Mario Series. I want to start posting my collection as well as inform others about where items can be obtained, their history and other intresting things!      I got into collecting when the pandemic first started back in March 2021, using Ebay as my primary source of obtaining items. Since then, my collection has expanded massively and I have also started collecting other items from different franchises.       I'll start out by showing my collection categorized by games and afterwards get into how to get items and such.      I'm excited to begin posting and engage with others!         - Rosaset Linammer
