Favorite Subsets

This thread is to list your favorite Subsets in your collection. Please feel free to explain why it is your favorite subset, and what games out of the subset are the best. List subsets you are considering and or suggestions for others. I am hoping this can be a place for those venturing into the goal of collecting a subset to use a resource and guide. This is not NES only, this is for all and any systems. Let me know if I need to correct anything or add anything to the list.
Here is the list:

Brown Labels (Atari 400)
Brown Labels ( Atari 800)
Atari XE
Activision (Atari 2600 )

Konami Silver Box

I'm flirting with the idea of chasing black label Square games for the PS1.

I'm making a half-assed attempt at all Atlus games for the PS2. Well actually Rule Of Rose is the only biggie I don't have at the moment.

Aiming for Squaresoft SFC subset as my first major goal as a collector. The Japanese Final Fantasy boxes are really nice, it's a decent size for a starter collection (20 titles, including Super Mario RPG) and SFC rarities seldom demand the same prices as US/PAL rarities. To date, I have all bar
Front Mission: Gun Hazard
and
Rudra no Hiho
.
The downsides to such a subset:
Cost (sort of):
While not
that
expensive (all things considered), at least 5 titles are around $50 BIN, meaning that 25% of this subset is above average price for SFC games.
eBay:
going Japanese does mean greater reliance on online retail.
Rarities:
additionally, I have found 3 prototypes (Chrono Trigger, SD3, Romancing SaGa 3 - $90 minimum each) and 1 limited edition (Chrono Trigger V-Jump version - $600). Likelihood of acquisition: minimal.

Goal 1)
I'm currently working on the
Sakura Taisen
Dreamcast collection. This set is beastly, with multiple LEs (ex Type-A and Type-B), multiple types of LEs (the memorial packs), spinoffs (and more LEs!). Also, my collecting has resulted in acquiring a number of items that are suspiciously pink.
Goal 2)
Once a month, I'm trying to pick up a SHMUP title. These are a bit spendy, and I don't want to break the bank, or block myself from picking up other import deals. So, for now I'm sticking to an infrequent purchase schedule.

Yeah isn't Rule Of Rose kinda spendy, I know a KOEI subset is quite daunting as well

From my collecting aspect the favorite kinds of subsets to work on include:
Atari Brown Labels - Theres a bunch for the atari 400 line and a handful for the 800 line of computers. Keeping in mind that theres the rare in store demo cart included to complete that set. It brings alot of challange and fun to collecting.
Atari XE Labels - While maybe only 33 carts complete this set there are some really rare and pricy carts to make this a challange. Also having Mario Bros in the mix will bring more people wanting this cart keeping in demand and making it difficult to get.
My third in my top 3 would be the Activision 15 cart set. Once again so many great games keeps prices up demand up and supply difficult to track down on the harder find titles like PastFinder. I love collecting for games that really are worth the collecting and then gaming aspect .

The main subset I collect for:
From Odyssey to Pre-Playstation, NA region, physical copy, no magnetic media (cassette, disk, etc.), good labels. CIB if box is not paper.
Yep. Kinda picky.

Yeah and I haven't looked in a while but it looks like the price of RoR has spiked over the past six months. Guess I won't be getting it any time soon.

I have a soft spot for alternate publisher releases, e.g. Majesco and Accolade/Ballistic. I enjoy the history behind why a new publisher had to reprint the title.

Personally, I'd have to say that Tengen is my favorite subset on NES. At the moment, I'm 4 away from a complete Tengen set, missing Toobin', After Burner, Fantasy Zone, and Ms. Pac-Man. After that, I haven't really decided on a subset to work on, but am leaning toward the famous Konami Silver Boxes.

I would love to finish a romox set of carts. But at the asking prices I can't see affording it any time soon.
