These are from 04-05.  The Marvel NOW Cable and X-Force that starts in Feb I plan on checking out.

Got in the mail a couple of packages today.

First one is my Flight of the Intruder NES game from Gao's Raffle. Thanks again bro!

Second one contained a Neo Geo MV-1FZ with UniBIOS 2.3 and a Vogatek MKV.

I received a white PC-E CD Drive from Keith Courage today and it looks awesome!  Thanks to SMF for his awesome raffle, Keith Courage for his excellent CD Drive and www.retrogamecave.com for their AC Adapter I now have a complete briefcase unit.   I'll try to post pics tomorrow.

They really are nice, aren't they?
i like playing on mine way more than i ever did my old duo-r; just like the looks of it so much better it makes the games better.

Yeah, it really is a wonder to behold.  It'll look even nicer when I get around to whitening it, but that's probably a long ways away.

Nice haul , would love to get an AW board with Dolphin Blue.

[Mishran]

Admittedly, this has to be my favorite thread on the board. It's alway cool to see what everyone can get their hands on. Nothing but a big ole' treasure trove of goodies here.

An AW is on my list as well, but the games seem to be a bit pricey even though the arcade board can be had for next to nothing. Much like the MVS.

[PunkicCyborg]

Those AW carts are the bootleg carts from china which are about $40 each.

[ApolloBoy]

Just picked up a European SMS II for about $35 on eBay. I mainly bought it just for experimenting with and it'll be fun converting it to NTSC and adding all sorts of crap to it...

[majors]

[Lynx]... sun visor,

Wow, I did not know of the model 2 sun visor.

Good shit on the AW, it's a much cleaner setup verus the Naomi with all it's power, I/O, GD-ROM, etc. Wish it had more games released.

MIDI DRUMS POWER UP!

Here's a pic of the completed PCE Briefcase unit!
(Click on the images to see larger versions. )



Notice how nice Keith Courage's Drive looks next to the PC Engine.  I really need to whiten it now...
And here are a couple extra pics of it for good measure:



You can see the cover for the briefcase unit in the background in the picture above.  I forgot to take a picture of it closed up.  




Also, here are a couple other recent pickups. I received the latest edition of Battletech as a Christmas present and have begun to paint the 25 included minis.  I picked up the Warhammer books because they are a fantastic resource for painting miniatures (though not necessarily giant walking robots-of-death).



Here are a few games I also picked up at the local used-stuff store.  I wasn't really on the hunt for Secret of Evermore, but for $15 I couldn't pass it up.

I would like to say thank you to BlueBMW for setting me up with this SNES.  I have never played any SNES games and I'm really looking forward to playing SMW.  He basically shipped it to me for free so I will make sure the repay the favour sometime in the future.  Thanks BlueBMW!  Oh, and this is not something I care to admit, but when the SNES arrived I started playing around with it.  At first I thought the power button was broken.  I kept pressing it and it wasn't moving.  Then I figured out it was a sliding power button, not a push button.  SNES noob here.   

The GTA, and FF games in the above pic were included with my most recent purchase (shown below).  It's an original 80GB PS3 Fat.  Model CECH-E01.  I bought it for $100.  This model is backwards compatible with PS2 games, equipped with 4 USB ports, and has the concealed area for inserting photo cards (SD and what have you).  It came with a SIXAXIS controller (I now own 3), the original cables, original box/manuals/packaging, and even had the original twist-ties inside.  It had a bad Blu-ray drive, but having suffered from YLOD a year ago I already had an extra one lying around.  I swapped out the Blu-ray and voila!  So now I have 3 PS3 Fats.  Two fully functional, and one for parts.  Here's a picture of my new PS3 and the one I'm using for parts on the left.
