Very cool, I'm definitely right in the target demographic for this one. Getting a NES as a kid was a big deal.

But I'm also at that age when I look at things like this and think "neat", and then follow it up with "where the heck would I put that after I built it?" I simply don't have the free surface space. Maybe other adults have tastefully empty houses with white drawers just waiting for the right accent piece to go on top of them.

Me? I've got so many toys already they're spilling out of shelves. I'm looking semi-guiltily at the LEGO Voltron kit in the corner of my office that's still only half built, and not sure where those lions are going when it's done. They used to live in a half-finished state on top of the CRT stand in that corner, but got kicked off when I put my 3D printer there.

It's a good problem to have, the too many toys thing, but it does curb impulse purchases of big display pieces like this I gotta admit.

Same here.

I live in a small place and really don't 'collect' anything cause I just don't care to have a bunch of stuff around even decorative. So seeing this I'm like hells yeah then nope cause I just don't care for tchotkies.
