Ahmed Bin Fahad is een politie agent uit het olie staatje Dubai, en in zijn vrije tijd verzameld hij alles van Nintendo en heeft daar nu een wereldrecord mee gezet. Tja daar sta ik dan met mijn Nintendo Pyjama en enkele consoles die een handje vol games hebben.

Fahad started amassing 8,000-plus piece collection after he played a game at his uncle's house as a kid. He begged his parents to get him a game console, and a year later he got one. That's when his obsession began with collecting all things Nintendo.

Fahad has spent over 1.5 million durham, or $408,000 U.S. dollars, on buying Nintendo merchandise. In an interview with 7 Days in Dubai, he said that his mission isn't just personal, but about dispelling myths about Arabs.

"It is a very expensive hobby, but I wanted to set this record to give a message to the world that Arabs are not only interested in speeding cars and flashy things," Fahad said.

Fahad is the most hardcore of collectors, one that buys two of everything. One for use and one for display. "Sometimes if I find a stock of five or six consoles I buy them all just in case any of them are damaged-then I would have spare parts." He has preserved everything he has purchased over the past 20 years. Talk about dedication.
