Where'd you buy your TG?

[RTQ]

This may have been a topic in the past, but I was wondering where everyone bought their TG stuff in the 90s.

I grew up in Oklahoma and the only place I saw TGs for sale was Toys-R-Us.  It was like a Saturday ritual to go there and see if anything new had come out.  I remember when I was able to convince my dad to buy a new game, you had to take the paper slip for the game you wanted to buy to the front of the store to actually get it.  That was a feeling of triumph!  Those were the days!

Got mine in late '91 from a place called Game Dude in SoCal where I'm from. With it Keith Courage and Vigilante. My CD unit came from a place called Japan Video Games the next year. My favorite system of all time.

I got my Turbo, Turboexpress, Turbobooster Plus and many games from a now closed department chain call Brendel's.  They were a big NEC electronics retailer back in the '80s and '90s. My CD-Rom came from J&R Music World.

I got my TG-16 lot from a dude that won it in a contest. He just wanted the TV and some other goodies from the winnings, and sold the obey via a buddy that worked at Babbages. The lot included the base TG-16, booster+, tap, extra pad, stick and 5 games. I think I dropped $150 for it all. About a year later, I picked up a CD-ROM from Babbages when the price dropped to $300 and they included the CD+G sampler.

Electronic boutique at the end of the turbo's life when it was in the $69.99 price tag. Was able to buy most games for $19.99. Did not get the cd system till 2001 and the duo till last year.

I was normally a Sega/Sony kid so I had no Turbo at the time it was still in retail. 

I picked up my unit from a guy off Craigslist with Bonk for like $70 I think.  Probably like within 6 months I bought a RX and bundle of games/controllers/stuff in auction off ebay.

Audio Vision in Prince Rupert. I believe that it was only $399.99 + 11.5% sales tax.

I got my TG16 for Christmas when I was 10 or 11, so I have no idea where that was bought. I got my TurboDuo from TZD and my Express by trading a SNES to a classmate.

EDIT: That's where I got my stuff back in the day. None of that did I hang on to. I had to rebuy everything when I pulled my head out of my ass in 2009. That's all been from ebay, forum members, craiglist, or local shops.

I got the TurboDuo back in '92 from a local game store called Gamers (original name, eh?), the TurboExpress came from TZD sometime around '00, and in the last few years stuff has come from forum members (Duo RX, PC-FX, CG beefcase setup, and the LaserActive and pacs) or ebay (PAL Turbob).

I got a box of lose Turbo Grafx stuff from a garage sale years ago for like $20.  It came with commons and didn't even have the dust sleeve for the system.  I got my Turbo Express off some kid on my school bus for like $60.  It came with Jacky Chan, Chase H.Q., Football, Hockey, Vigilante, and the 1st Bonk.  My DuoR I got here.

It must be hell living behind the Maple Curtain.

I got mine from consolegoods.co.uk for about £60 inc 20% tax. Came brand new, boxed with blazing lazers.

I got it as a Christmas gift, but I believe the system was purchased at Target.
