This isn't meant to turn into a competition.
Speaking for myself, I've always objected to the marketing hard-sell surrounding the franchise, and I just buy things I like rather than collect Sonic things.
But if we contrast lists of what we each have, maybe we can each find things we haven't heard of before, and trade information on where to find it.
Games: Sonic the Hedgehog (MD) Sonic 2 (MD) Sonic 2 (MS) Sonic 3 (MD) Sonic Spinball (MD) Sonic and Knuckles (MD) Sonic Chaos (MS) Sonic Chaos 2 (MS) Sonic CD (Mega CD) Sonic CD (PC) Sonic R (PC) Sonic and Knuckles Collection (PC) Flickies' Island (Saturn) Sonic Jam (Saturn) Sonic Adventure (DC) Sonic Adventure 2 (DC) Sonic Chaos 2 (ROM) Sonic Crackers (ROM) Sonic Labyrinth (ROM) Sonic Triple Trouble (ROM) Tails Adventure (ROM) Tails Sky Patrol (ROM) Sonic 2, beta version (ROM) Sonic Pocket Adventure (ROM) Sonic Advance (ROM) Sonic Advance 2 (ROM) Sonic Advance 3, beta version (ROM) Sonic Advance 3, release version (ROM) Sonic Battle (ROM) Sonic Eraser (ROM) Sonic Drift (ROM) Sonic Drift 2 (ROM) SegaSonic Arcade (ROM) Sonic Championship (ROM) Knuckles Chaotix (ROM)

Plushies: Sonic 2 Tails plushie (European edition) Sonic X Tails plushie Sonic X Cream plushie Sonic X Rouge plushie Sonic X Amy plushie SegaWorld Sydney Princess Sally plushie (medium size)
(Yes, I own an official Sally plushie. No, I'm not selling. wink )
Toys: 3 Sonic water games (won as prizes for having letters published in the UK Sonic comic) Sonic 2 Tails McDonalds toy Resaurus Sonic Adventure Tails action figure Complete set of Sonic X trading figures
Comics: Francis Mao Sonic origin comic UK Sonic the Comic preview edition (2 copies) Complete set of UK Sonic the Comic 1-184 (before it went re-print - I wasn't completist enough to buy it after that) UK Sonic poster magazines 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9. US Archie comic issues, complete except for some issues in the single figures. US Archie Sonic Super Specials and other specials (complete set)
Books: Full set of 4 UK Sonic novels, by Martin Adams Full set of 6 UK Sonic gamebooks Stay Sonic - UK Sonic 2 era continuity guide Prima Sonic Adventure tips guide Archie Sonic Beginnings TPB
Misc: 2 Sonic and Knuckles disposable cameras (prizes for having letters published in the UK Sonic comic) Sonic 2 era Tails pin badge Sonic notepad Sonic lever arch binder Complete set of Sonic Adventure keyring figures
Media: Pre-release promotional VHS copy of Sonic: the Movie OVA (dubbed) Sonic: the Movie OVA (DVD, dub/sub hybrid) Around 30 hours' VHS tapes of Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog series One 4-hour DVD-R of Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog. First season of SatAM (VHS, uncut) Most of second season of SatAM (VHS, uncut) SatAM season one (RealMedia format, uncut except for eps 2 and 5) SatAM season two (RealMedia format, uncut) Sonic X eps 1-9, 20, 21, 26-30 (raw Japanese, RM format) Sonic X eps 1-6 (US dub, RM format) Sonic X eps 1-26 (AVI format) Sonic X subtitled bootlegs eps 1-52 (DVD) Sonic X-treme promotional clip (AVI) Sonic the Hedgehog Remix (Japanese Sonic CD OST, a present from a very good friend in the US). Sonic Championship/Sonic: The Fighters OST Somic X OST Sonic Adventure OST Sonic Adventure (Vocal + Remix) CD Sonic Adventure 2 OST Sonic Adventure 2 (Cuts Unleashed) CD Sonic Heroes OST Complete set of 8/16/32-bit game OSTs
I wouldn't mind getting my hands on some more of that Japanese merchandise - the Fang/Nack plushie and the Tails kimono plushie, for starters. I wouldn't mind the US SA2 edition Rouge, either, if I could find one for less than $500.
Before I was at university, my parents were so dead-set against merchandising hard-sell that they wouldn't indulge me - and once I was a student, away from home and free to make my own choices, I mainy agreed with them and partly couldn't afford much on my budget anyway. smile
What's your favourite piece of merchandise in your collection? Does it have a history?
I have three favourites:
1. My Sonic 2 Tails plush, which was one of the last things my grandmother gave me before she died, and which as well as being extremely cute, brings back memories of long mornings being babysat whilst off school sick, and playing two-player Sonic 2 and Sonic 3 for hours on end.
Both of my grandparents on that side played a mean game of Sonic 2. smile
2. My Cream UFO catcher, for being one of my other favourite characters and being incredibly cute.
3. My Sally plushie, who I was just plain lucky to find (let alone as cheaply as I did), even if it took me over a year and searching multiple auction sites. smile

I tend not to accumulate alot of merchandise, but I do have UK edition Sonic & Tails 1992 plushies, a Sonic Adventure (not sure if it's 1 or 2) Tails plushie (large), Sonic X Rouge, and SA1 Big.
Games I listed in the relevant thread. I also have some Fleetway promo and Richard Elson originals, a gift from a friend smile
Pretty sure that's about it, however I've got a serious urge to make some of my own orders from the person I got Nuala (and another friend)'s Christmas presents. Not that it'd be official merchandise, but they look cute anyway biggrin

eBay, where they crop up very occasionally.
They were originally available from SegaWorld Sydney, but that closed down some years ago, before I'd been able to apply for a credit card. sad

Good grief... I didn't realise Nuala had so much Sonic stuff...
Well, my list isn't quite as grand, but here it is.
Games:
- Sonic the Hedgehog (MD) - Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (MD) - Sonic & Knuckles (MD) - Sonic CD (PC) - Sonic & Knuckles Collection (PC) - Sonic 3D (PC) - Sonic R (PC) - Sega: Greatest Hits (includes Sonic Spinball) (PC) - Sonic Adventure (DC) - Sonic Adventure 2 (DC) - Sonic Advance (GBA) - Sonic Advance 2 (GBA) - Sonic Advance 3 (ROM) - Sonic Battle (ROM) - Sonic Heroes (GC) - Sonic CD (ROM) - Knuckles' Chaotix (ROM) - Sonic Adventure 2: Battle (GC) - Sonic Mega Collection (GC)
I also used to have Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic Chaos for the Gamegear, but I misplaced both.
Comics:
- issues #88 to #200 of Fleetway's Sonic the Comic without a single omission - issues #91 to #111 (I think) of Archie's Sonic the Hedgehog with several issues missing after #100
Animation:
- several SatAM episodes (season 1) on VHS, recorded off Channel 4 (1994/5) - episodes 1-13 of Sonic X (4Kids dub), recorded off ITV (spring 2004), most of which are cut back by several minutes to fit the time slot - Sonic X SA and SA2 adaptations (raw Japanese with no subtitles) collected and edited into two 'movies' in Real Media format - Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie (English dub) on DVD - the 'complete' series of SatAM in Real Media format, originally recorded off American TV and therefore subject to editing to fit network time slots - episodes 1-5 of Sonic X (original Japanese with English subtitles) in .avi format
Books:
- Where's Sonic? (Where's Wally/Waldo ripoff) - Where's Sonic Now? (same as above) - The Invisible Robotnik (childrens short storybook) - Robotnik's Oil (same as above) - StH in the Fourth Dimension (novel) - StH in Castle Robotnik (same as above)
Misc:
- Tails SA action figure - Knuckles SA action figure - Sonic Adventure prommotional poster (featuring Sonic and Dr. Eggman)
Out of the above, I must say my favourites are probably Sonic Adventure (out of the games), my StC collection (which I seem to have misplaced in the attic, but I know I wouldn't have thrown it out), and the few Sonic X episodes I've got. The rest of Sonic X is what I'd most like to get my hands on at the moment, although I'd rather avoid 4Kids' butchery of the sereies if it can be helped. :p

My favorites of my current items are my Metal Sonic plushies and Archie #25. My most valuable posession is my custom Sonic Heroes Espio plush. My oldest posession is my Sonic 2 Sonic plush, it and Sonic 2 Tails by far have the most sentimental value since I grew up with them.
I'm an extremely avid plushie collector and plan to try getting one of each, including the extremely rare ones like Super Sonic, Sally and AoSTH/StC Robotnik. Although my top two most wanted items are a large Sonic the Fighters Metal Sonic and a large Sonic the Fighters Fang/Nack. I'd also really like to get my mits on that laser etched crystal and the gold ring >> As well as the complete StC series. ANYTHING with Metal Sonic's mug on it that I don't already own is absolute top priority.
