What are your Retro Game Collector Goals in 2014

I think my goals for 2014 are going to be:

1: Finish off the Nes Mega Man set still need IV, V & VI

2: Design and make a coffee table to hold my x-arcade dual sticks with drink caddies.

3: and hopefully fill in the empty 15ish spaces on my shelf with nes filler lol

I'll probably come up with more as the year progresses, but here are a few that I know of now:

1) concentrate almost completely on n64 - The last few months I have already started this, but this year I want to be pretty much strictly the year of the n64 for me.  Last year I pretty much concentrated on boxed games for any nintendo system. This year I want to narrow that down to just the n64.  I will still pick up the odd title here and there for other systems, but it will be strictly on a "really really want to play" criteria only.

2) more roadtrips to Winnipeg - Now, not more in the sense that I will be travelling in each month, but more so continuing the trend of going in once every 2-3 months to visit the thriftdwellers (and anyone else who wants to visit me lol).  I really enjoy hanging out with Nate, Lester and Ian, and want to continue having regular "boys nights out" lol.

3) hit the 275 n64 game mark - I'm already around 230, so this shouldn't be too hard to achieve with a whole year. I still have quite a few commons to get, so that should help too.  I hope that most games picked up this year will be boxed, as I'm going for a cib complete n64 collection, but I won't pass up on loose cartridges for cheap prices.  I could be ambitious and shoot for a complete n64 collection by the end of the year, but I think that may be pushing it, and I don't want to feel rushed. The journey is just as fun as reaching the destination. Ok, that was a bit corny lol.

i want to focus more on snes, in 2013 i was focusing on  nes because i had a lot less experience with it but now i want to focus on getting snes games, all the games i played when i was young(er) are all gone 

I want to get at least one uncommon/expensive retro game, i don't really have any expensive games in my collection mainly because when i started collecting around 2 years ago i just thought that buying games that were under 5-10 bucks would be fine but know i have a craving for playing through a really popular game that is on the more expensive side such as conkers bad fur day or super metroid, yes i consider super metroid expensive for game because i don't think I've ever spent over 10 bucks for a retro game 

SORRY if i've been MIA recently, just worked a lot in 2014! Working lots and working on the charity event! =D April 5th! (plug) regardless, i'm here! There's great goals here in 2014! Heck, KMD baby is almost done n64 collection! that's a sweet video *wink! Thanks for sharing everyone!

My goals would be stuff like this:

1. Convert my arcade cabinet into Cadash. I have the board already, just need the bezel and marquee.

2. Play and finish more 360, PS3, and Wii games. Now that they are considered last generation, I feel like I can really play some stuff that's been gathering dust and find some hidden gems.

3. Record more episodes of our podcast! It's dumb and fun to drink beer and talk about games and record the conversations.

4. More road trips to other cities, provinces, and to the USA to look for games. Hit weird flea markets, garage sales, swap meets, and pawn shops all over the place.

5. Focus my collecting on stuff I really want. Stop buying 5 dollar games I don't need and spend larger amounts on a really key item.

6. Make more of my own game cases and make cases for other collectors. Sometimes it's nice to have a replacement case and if I can set up a solid system to make them really high quality and get a bunch of Universal Game Cases I can get started.
