Gamer wins Guinness World Record for largest Tomb Raider collection
Guinness World's Record Gamer's Edition launches today and is packed with mind-boggling gaming milestones
Gamer Rodrigo Martin Santos has won himself the record for Largest Collection of Tomb Raider Memorabilia thanks to his whopping collection of 2,383 items.
The 27-year-old has been collecting since 1996 after he saw drawings of Lara Croft in a Spanish magazine. His stash includes video games, films, posters, figures and of course, life-sized Lara Croft statues.
Commenting on his world record, the Tomb Raider-loving Spaniard explained: “I became a fan of Tomb Raider when I was nine and have spent the last 18 years collecting memorabilia from the Tomb Raider saga.
"My favourite items from the collection include a sketch made by Toby Gard, the creator of Lara Croft, and the poster of the second Tomb Raider movie signed by all the cast, including Angelina Jolie. I never thought I could get to achieve a Guinness World Record, it is certainly a wonderful experience I will never forget.”
