Join collector Anneka Losik as she discusses her love of pop culture and passion for collecting with Luke Edmonson one of Albury's Good Games gaming experts. Discover how Harry Potter changed her life, why she cannot bring herself to read Terry Pratchett’s last book; which are her favourite board games out of a growing collection of 120+ titles and why her house would be a fascinating one for survivors of a zombie apocalypse to stay in.

The Growing Up Optional collection reflects Anneka’s personal enthusiasm, some would call it fandom, for everything fantasy, sci-fi and adventure related. Amassed over 20 years, Anneka describes her collection as a ‘mishmash of things that she loves’ and what she loves is everything pop culture. From LEGO® to board games, figurines to soft toys, pop vinyl and brickheadz, her collection features brand-new and vintage items. Most importantly, Anneka believes that (almost) everything should be played with and enjoyed now. Her motto is ‘Love the stuff that you love, LOUDLY.’

Luke has been an enthusiastic Dungeons & Dragons player and avid collector of Magic the Gathering and Pokémon trading cards all his life. Since starting at Good Games Albury, Luke has also embraced many other forms of gaming such as board games, card games, Gunpla and Warhammer 40,000 and he enjoys exploring the world of gaming accessories that bling up your games! Luke’s collection consists of predominately Pokémon cards, Dungeons & Dragons Old Lore books, Warhammer 40,000 miniatures and LEGO® – his current focus is on growing his Magic the Gathering and Gunpla collections.
