Neon TG-16 Gloves on eBay
« on: July 20, 2012, 10:45:34 AM »
Linky

This is the only time I've seen 'em outside of the Turbob Gear promos.  I missed 'em (even at $33 shipped I probably would've pulled the trigger), but did someone here snag one or both pairs?

All of us would.

Except for Joe Redifer and tatsujin.

They would remove the gloves before showering.

So they do exist. Back of the package says they were made in Korea, by Champion. UPC 009306084165

What else was in that catalog?

Seems to be a lot of good gaming items that originate from South America (on ebay)

Its all the old customs/imbargo warehouses and whatnot finally being purged/opened after all these years.  They're finding everything from old movie prints to sealed 2600 games!

Reminds me of the pallet of brand new Virtual Boys they found in the middle east several years ago.

It's like a gamers version of archeology!   :)

Reminds me when Blockbuster decided to sell all their 3do and Virtual Boy stuff. I wish I would have picked those up when the systems were like $30 a piece..
