And finally - after years of searching to find it for a good price   .

Wow CIB. Still must have cost a pretty penny. I have thought of getting this and a few others like summer carnival but the price always scares me off

Is the system card manual custom or did you find an original?

Price has really sky rocketed for a famicom,mr.gimmick.Ive seen boxed copies go for much as $300.00+ at auction.Last year i just bought a reproduction of (mr.gimmick cib) instead,since the famicom version has become pricey.

I bought it for 180 Euro (final shipped price) on yahoo which is roughly 240 $ at the moment.
The last (CIB) ones I watched on ebay went for 500 $ - this one for example:

And this one is still running nearly 5 days and it's at 300 $ already:

So I think I did pretty good .

Is the system card manual custom or did you find an original?

Before I had the System Card 1.0 and 2.0 - as far as I know these two never had an original boxed release. So I made customs for these two cards. The System Card 2.1 was released in a boxed version - the one on my picture is an original 2.1 box / inlay.

Didn't someone on here (probably a frenchy) show one of those (maybe even both) as a cased, retail version?


Yesterday's mail brought me a sealed copy of Manhattan Requiem. 

[xelement5x]

Yeah!  LaserActive goodies!

Free that thang from its poly prison.

[VenomMacbeth]

Today I ponied up & bought a loose copy of Skeleton Krew, as well as Mario Kart 64, as compensation for the broken laserdisc player I received in the mail. -_-

Isometric ftw! That game is pretty fun.

What, no loose ?

You bastards with Atlantean!  I'm still waiting for mine. 
In other news, I just got these the other day:



From the Thrift:
Lotus II [Genesis]
Arcade's Greatest Hits: The Atari Collection 1 [PS1]

From GameStop:
Tales of Xillia 2 Collectors Edition [PS3]
PS2 Network Adapters x2
Link's Crossbow Training x2


I picked up my preorder of Xillia 2 from GameStop and this box is ridiculously huge.  Bigger than the first one.  I'm not exactly sure where I will put it, probably next to the other ones and hope nothing falls over!  PS2 stuff still seems to be on uber clearance so I got the network adapters for 44c each, and the Crossbow Training for the same price. 

I also swung my my local thrift last night and picked up the copy of Lotus II for the Genesis and the non-crap PS1 game for a couple bucks.  I already have Arcade Collection on Saturn so I may just get rid of the PS1 copy since I can't imagine there is much of a difference between the two.

[InfraMan]

^^ Cool... I definitely want Tales of Xillia 2, but I'm waiting to see what the Collector's Edition does. It seems like they may have over-estimated demand this time, so I'm hoping there will be a price drop eventually.
