Love your collection. I'm 67 now and I read Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys when I was a little boy. I've had a life-long affection for them. The video games are way over my head.

[@marytormey4522]

Hi just started reading Nancy Drew again and it's fun and I'm collecting the books too ,thanks for sharing ,

[@StoryRetold]

Oh thanks for saying so! Do you have a favorite book?

[@Blackrose-hc9pp]

You have a awesome collection I love it thank you for sharing. It's always exciting to see someone's collection. You might have to start collecting The Hardy Boys books for your boys to read. I just bought a used vhs player to watch old tapes I had. Lol

[@StoryRetold]

Oh awesome! And actually yes, I own all 58 blue hard cover Hardy Boys books as well as some original printings. I just didn’t share that in my Nancy Drew collection video. 🤪

[@Blackrose-hc9pp]

@@StoryRetold Thats awesome!! I'm still working on my Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys collection. 😉

[@nancydrewcollector4364]

I LOVE your collection set up! You have a really nice collection, I especially love how you have Russian and French copies of the games! Thanks for sharing your collection!

[@StoryRetold]

Aw thanks! The collection does take up a lot of space, lol. I haven’t played all the Russian and French games yet, but am looking forward to it!

[@nancydrewcollector4364]

@@StoryRetold haha I feel that! I have about 800 pieces in my collection and a very tiny apartment...the two don't mix well 😂 Ooo that'll be fun!! I have a feeling I'd get completely lost playing them without knowing the language 😂😅

So so cool! I know HeR doesn’t have those giant posters for sale, but having one or two of those would be incredible! My personal game collection is almost done, just have a couple items in our US post box that we can’t pick-up because of the border being closed, but I’m hoping by the end of the year I can grab them! Thanks for sharing! Seeing those business cards and that shirt with all those signatures made me miss the old HeR/ND game style so much more.

[@StoryRetold]

The posters are indeed for sale in the HeR Interactive Teespring store - however they only come as poster paper. The team members had the posters mounted on foam board with a printing company. ;) That’s too bad about your items stuck in another country! Hopefully you will be allowed to retrieve them soon.

[@janalewis3030]

That is an amazing collection! Thank you for sharing! I have the games - mostly digital only, but am looking forward to getting some of the HER merchandise. Miss seeing the live-streams - hope you all can get back into the office soon! I look forward to another game!

[@StoryRetold]

Aw, I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the streams! I do not know when we will have another...

[@JaneMB87]

Wow! What a collection! I have a lot of the books, and I have the Captive Curse poster, but otherwise my collection is pretty small (I don't have a lot of space), but I'm jealous you have a recording of the Maggie Lawson Nancy Drew movie - I loved it back in the day, and I did have it recorded but of course I threw it out with all the other videos when I switched to a dvd player.

[@StoryRetold]

Oh dear! I feel bad because I had original large cardboard game boxes for games 1-5, but put them next to some text books that crushed them. :( So I understand. I need to get a VHS player so I can watch the Maggie Lawson movie! 🎥

[@lizconley4739]

I loved seeing your collection! You have some super cool things in there. I especially loved seeing the first 5 strategy guides. I just started trying to collect those. I only have a handful of them. I've been working hard on my collection too. I don't think I have a completed set of any books. Just a little bit of everything.

[@StoryRetold]

There is a TON of Nancy Drew merch and books out there! It would take a while to finish collecting any set of books. Good luck finding the missing pieces! Which series or item(s) are you hoping to add to your collection?

[@lizconley4739]

Thank you! You know I’m just hoping to find a little bit of everything. I haven’t concentrated on one area. I just go on eBay and wait for when I find something that’s a good deal. This past year I’ve bought books, collectibles, dvds and games. I love it all!

[@jeanmarcks6947]

Love your collection! What was the last one book to finish your collection

[@jeanmarcks6947]

On the side are you collecting Hardy Boys? I’m collecting the original set of books and picked up Hardy Boys also!!

[@StoryRetold]

Yep! I have the full blue set of the Hardy Boys books, and about 10 originals without dust jackets.

[@Blackrose-hc9pp]

I hope you don't mind this question but a few years back I remember HER Interactive getting the rights to The Hardy Boys any chance that they might get their own game in the future? Or was it just the rights to put them in the ND games? If you don't want to answer this on your personal channel that is fine.

[@StoryRetold]

It is true! Once upon a time (several years ago) we got the rights from Simon & Schuster to make a Hardy Boys PC game, but the HeR team was busy on some other projects at the time. I believe this was mentioned in one of the press releases on their site.

[@nerdygeekgamer5528]

I have all the Nancy Drew Diaries except for book 21 and 23 my first intro into to the Nancy Drew game's was the OG four pack with game 1,2,4 and 5 I'd love to add that to my ND Collection again I own all the games off of Steam except Ransom but I still have my physical copy of it so I'm all good I have my Nancy Drew books and Hardy Boys books all mixed together on one book shelf I watch the CW version of Nancy Drew on TV and I also have the first two seasons of the OG on DVD I'm missing the second Nancy Drew ghost stories I also own a Hardy Boys ghost stories book most of my finds come from the local thrift and used book stores along with some yard sale and flea market finds

[@StoryRetold]

That sounds like a great collection! ❤

[@nerdygeekgamer5528]

@@StoryRetold I'm not done collecting I still have more collecting to go

[@marisac.1391]

This was incredible to see, but I am curious about something. Are you considering getting the Nancy Drew Case Files books to add to your collection? Or do you already have them?

[@StoryRetold]

Wait, are those different than the 1980s Nancy Drew Files?

[@marisac.1391]

@@StoryRetold I'm not sure, let me check! Oh, wait, yeah I'm dumdb. They are the same as the Nancy Drew Files, my mistake! ^^;

[@StoryRetold]

@@marisac.1391 *Phew! I wasn't sure if there was another series I was unaware of! I'm regularly confused between the Nancy Drew Notebooks, Clue Books, Clue Finders, Diaries, and Girl Detective series. Lol >_
