[Collector] : Mike from USA (Long Island NY)

Thanks to Mike to share with us his Dragon's Lair impressive collection  :o

...few words from Mike :

"I am from Long Island NY USA I am 31 years old.
 I am married with a daughter that is 2 and another one on the way.

My hobbies are Bluth games and collectibles its nice to talk to people that have the same interest.

My dragons lair 2 is all original, my dragons lair has Sony high tech card with a Sony Lpd 2000. The space ace is one of my cabinets that i built : I took measurements from the dragons lair and built a space ace.

I have a wood shop in my garage that finally paid off ;-)  its also running a Sony high tech card with the lpd 2000.

 I am always on the look out for dl and sa collectibles..."

Hi Mike,

Nice collection mate, I liked the story of the DL2 being too big for the entrance, glad you got it in, it looks superb.

regards

Update.

Well I finally had some time to take some pictures, I hope you enjoy them.
 
I hope to add all versions of Dragons lair and Space ace to my collection. I finally finished collecting all the U.S.A. versions, the cut corner Leland was the hardest version for me to find. I found it about 2 months ago. My wife bought it for me as a early Christmas present :)  it needed some restoration. I finished it a couple of weeks ago, I now need to find a set of side art so it will be complete. I am now on the search for the euro versions, wish me luck!!


                  ~Mike Ryan~


Here's the new pictures ...  ~Enjoy~
