The merch Options

[Darth-Paper-Boy]

It's a well established fact that I like to gather things, but I figured that maybe I could actually think of a way that could benefit all of us and other enthusiasts. So, does anyone know about the various items the Harvest Moon and Rune Factory series has spawned, including the games themselves? I'm sure someone out there's interested in those Rune Factory phone cards, and regardless every little detail is helpful. Even something like knowing how many pages are in a manual can help people avoid counterfeits and knowing what useless ad inserts are in games might help the somewhat more obsessive fans. This information can be later added to our own wiki, as well as maybe external sources that accept the information like Gameswag.

So, let's start the information pool. Here's a basic example:

Harvest Moon: Animal Parade's North American version contains the game, a registration post card, and the US manual is 30 pages in full color. We also know that the boxes between US and Canadian versions vary. For pre-orders, it also came with a Duck plush although I'm uncertain if this was a Gamestop exclusive or if it was for multiple retailers.
