I would love to own Spriggan.  Hell, even that other Spriggan.

It's not that expensive for the first one if you look outside ebay. LOL definitely not what you spent for Sapphire. However, Sapphire is fantastic and I am happy you were able to obtain a legit copy.

Legit PC Engine Spriggan is cheaper to buy than PCEWorks Sapphire and likely cheaper than PCEWorks Spriggan.

Woah!? When the hell did asshat do Spriggan? Damn the man has no shame. Neither do the FB groupies that think he's a swell guy doing the good lords work.

EDIT: Wow. So both spriggans, steam hearts and nexzr. I knew about Nexzr but didn't know he did the other 3 and threw them into a box set like everything else he does now. Man wtf is wrong with people and their money? Why give it to him? Not to mention take photos of your pickups of these bootlegs.

I was just talking based on collectard's preference for bootlegs.

Sure enough it's true:

I love how the instructions are perfectly placed to cover up the PCE logo.

Don't forget Sealed but other pics are of it opened. I bet someone thought it was a legit version.

I report that seller all the time. Ebay doesn't care. Sad.
