Seems to sell routinely for 150+ with a case/instructions. WTH.  :roll:

I don't mind ponying up once in a while but the game has to at least be...good.

There actually isn't a real case for the game.  It was a late release that came in a plastic tray.  But yeah, a guy prints a label and then gets a case off of a Kieth Courage and then can make $50 or more extra lol

I don't have a ton of those later games with no cases but when I need extra cases I just order yakyuu baseball something or other from Japan for like 7 bucks.

Getting those round Hudson stickers off the back is kind of a pain, now I just leave them on so I know it wasn't original.

I do too, a lot of F1 Circus cases have died at my hands.  The easiest way to get the round stickers off for me is to heat them up with a hairdryer or something and it loosens the adhesive.  Just don't get it too hot ;)

Lol yeah, I was thinking of Bernie.  Between Lighter fluid to loose adhesive and/or a hair dryer to heat it up I've normally had pretty good luck getting sticker off almost anything I've every tried. 

The only thing I've yet to perfect is a good way to get those rental stickers with the thin metal strip in them off.  My poor copy of Quackshot looks great except for this one line right across the cart label where one of those security strips screwed me :(

You savage!....F1 Circus is actually cool game! I like all (3?) of them.

(A few of those Peach Boy non action titles have bit the bullet too to fix some of my loosies)

Spines are pretty easy...I actually cut them through to the "grid" plastic on the back with an exacto knife and chuck the little squares that weren't sticking to anything but air. Then I soak it in water. Voila. But those round Hudson stickers, I'm done screwing with them. I used a window scraper on one, slipped, and was lucky to not have to get stitches.

Sweet hat.  I'd pair it with a hot pink polo shirt, with the collar popped of course.

I would love that hat, but it is ugly as f*ck and no matter how much I would love to waste $500 on TG-16 stuff, I can’t justify that much.

But, don’t ask what I would be willing to pay, because it would be too much (no, I don’t have an actual number in my head, but I know I am stoopid).

Oh, and the best part is that the hat COULD NEVER POSSIBLY FIT MY FAT f*ckING HEAD.

I would love to wear the damn thing and *ONLY* be mocked for its aesthetics, not for its tiny size.

:)

I want a wallet, hat, football, f*ck me.

It would be easy to make wallet/football today, but that hat is *not* easy to fake. It seems pretty hard to make a bootleg hat like that.

Tobias edition TV Sports Football with a Turbob football replica?

Maybe less crowd appeal it but makes about 1000% times more sense than Dracula X and an energy drink...
