My advice, get a graded Sonic Adventure DX Directors Cut and a Sonic Mega Collection in there too to complete the look! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They came back and said they couldn’t get it off without ruining the wrap. Vent holes are the tricky part. If it were mine, I'd attempt it myself, but yeah, vent holes can be very tricky to avoid when removing something as large as a big piece of packing tape. If any partially dissolved glue gets through a vent hole, you ain't getting that out. Then you could end up with a spot where the seal sticks to the box in in a strange way. -ud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_Feisty_Pickle | 244 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Really glad to have these back in my collection. I purchased these right before they jumped up in price, I think early 2019, for $200 each. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franmotard | 79 Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Just received my first ever submision to wata! Have to say I am a bit dissapointed on Wata's assembly quality lets say, there is some clear marks on the case I suppose for the way the assembled it, and also the wata info tag is a bit misplaced... This week should arrive another order that just passed customs, hope they are better.... 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had problems with their cases in the past, but I will say, most have that visible sealant on the edges, so for that it wouldn't be worth re-holdering. Still looks like a great piece!! And should display nicely 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won't be for you if you are expecting 100% perfection. I will say that the Wata cases I've gotten in the last 3 months are noticeably clearer (less milky) than the original batches they used for the first couple of years. I'm assuming they'll do a full case redesign after the PSA buyout, but time will tell. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im ok with the case quality, Is just the damage done to the case when mounting it thatpisses me off a bit, but if thats how they usually do ti... cant complain I guess... Would be interesting to see if they make new cases now they moved to CU, got a few games I want to send for grading but maybe I hold on to them for a few months just in case, but I dont think that change would happen anytime soon right? BTW just followed you on instagram, your game colleciton is on another level dude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A_Feisty_Pickle | 244 Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Got my last order back from Wata. Nothing too special in this one but I am excited to have Wayne's World in my collection. Have a few more games I could send off but probably not worth it at this time. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I needed this variant and I saw a seller had it available when I was buying something else from him so I picked this one up for $8. I don't see them often at all.
