Here's my collection... everything in one pic. I'm gonna be nice and NOT mess up the entire page width, by posting a resized version.
Some notes / trivia:
-I left all home-printed DVD cases out of this one; all of these things are 100% official. All games in these home-printed DVD cases are duplicates anyway, besides the US-version Aftermath CD.
-The (on the Legend pic) unmarked CD cases just below the boxes are obviously simply from inside those boxes.
-Don't mind the sparkles on the German C&C95 CD case; it's just reflection from the box above it. The CD case is perfectly normal.
-Things marked as "(orig)" on the legend pic are bought in local stores.
-The "10 years of Westwood" pack contains Dune II, Legend of Kyrandia 1,2 and 3, Lands of Lore 1, a CD with videos of 10 years of Westwood, and a really neat booklet with cool pics like this one.
-The CDs spread around the top of the C&C Combat Pack boxes are those of the French edition. The English game CDs from the Dutch edition are in the aforementioned home-printed DVD cases.
-The CDs below the C&C Combat Pack boxes are the manuals. No manual CD for Renegade though; its manual is simply on one of the game CDs.
-The things marked as "won in contest" were won with PlanetCnC's "Photoshop This!" contest. None of my entries was ever touched by any Adobe program
-I got a second RA:CS box somewhere, but that's just because the cheapest RA:AM box I could find on ebay came bundled with RA:CS, while I already had RA:CS.
-I also got a big C&C3 poster (on my wall), an A3-size Generals poster, a Generals T-shirt and an autographed picture of KW Kane, but those took too much space to put in there.
"10 years of Westwood" collection pack:
Not visible in this pic is the Legend of Kyrandia 1 CD, because it's at the other side of where Dune II is attached, in the middle.
All the CDs:

Disk only? Aw, you're missing out. The front cover of the CD case unfolds to 6x its size and contains a tightly packed game manual (with only the stuff buildable in the demo though)
(btw, I uploaded the iso of that demo CD; it can be found here)
I got a signed KW pic like that too _________________ Last edited by Nyerguds on Wed Jun 20, 2012 3:46 pm; edited 1 time in total QUICK_EDIT
nothing special compared to the shown stuff.
the cds in front of counterstrike and aftermath are the RA allied and soviet from a game compilation.
same for the discs infront of TS (TD SVGA).
the "EXTRAPORTION" is just a couple of multi- and singleplayer maps and some editors.
the big jewelcase infront of the 2 RA2 boxes is the RA2 Collectors edition.
Generals, RA3 and the RA2 CE are english/US versions...the rest is german

Hi there! I found this forum just accidentaly, looking for actual pictures of big box editions, a few time ago began to collect C&C-stuff. And first I thought was "OMG! This is unable to collect all of it!" I really take my hat off before your sense of purpose.
So, my modest but (I hope) growing not-yet-collection:
And now and are on their way to the Red City of Leningrad.
Just one-two months more and they are (maybe) mine .
Very jealous of your US-editions of RA1 and TS:Firestorm. It's very hard to find them and Yuri's Revenge in big box on eBay QUICK_EDIT

The Aftermath box I got has a CD box sized manual in it, but it's not used as CD front because it's too thick. It's just, separate. _________________ QUICK_EDIT
Seems obvious to me. Probably one of those weird ball mice, so you can just scroll around by moving you hand on top of the ball... that seems confirmed by the name "Mission Controller". QUICK_EDIT

Yep, seems the guy who told me about it was the one who won
He had sent me a PM about the sale on CnCNZ, mainly to ask me if the contents were complete. Last edited by Nyerguds on Tue May 10, 2011 7:14 pm; edited 1 time in total QUICK_EDIT
a good friend of mine has that version too...bought back in 96 (even covert ops; german: Ausnahmezustand) _________________ just a simple logo by bricks @ raminator, on Flickr QUICK_EDIT

Ooh nice, a big box of Emperor
Great game, too. I once made an uncensored version of the first Harkonnen briefing video in it, with the deleted heart plug scene restored _________________ QUICK_EDIT

Even vRussian has them own limited/collectors box.
If you mean the C&C3, there are three of them. The first two -- the GDI- and NOD-editions have inside a bandana (the NOD one has a mistake ^_^), a trinket, and some maps/paint schemes/desktop wallpapers. The third -- the most stupid and half as expensive again -- is the "Kane's" edition. It has ONLY the extra DVD with outtakes/making of and is without translation (I think it made price alone by itself).
And no awesome boxes -- just paper origami.
P.S. And what means "vRussian"? It is not the first time I see it, but nowhere can find any translations. QUICK_EDIT
Yeah, the special edition we get (here in the UK) is the Kane Edition which has the bonus DVD, wallpapers and crappy ingame skins. I'd take the Nod bandana any time or better yet (though unrelated) those Dune badges, wherever they came from. QUICK_EDIT
