Nick-Speed | 10 Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 (edited) Hi all, This community (and the previous one from the site which shall not be named) has been instrumental in helping me achieve my 20+ year goal of completing a North American SNES cartridge set. I’m now on the cusp of completion, with only 29 games left to go, and I’m hoping to elicit the help of this community once more to help me cross the finish line. I’m in Calgary, Canada, and happy to help figure out shipping logistics for any international friends looking to send this way. I’ll consider loose, CIB and anything in between. Happy to consider all condition levels as well. Here’s what I’m looking for: Breath of Fire II Chester Cheetah’s Wild Wild Quest College Football ‘97: Road to New Orleans (EA College Football) Donkey Kong Country Competition Dragon View Final Fight 3 Firestriker First Samurai Imperium Inspector Gadget International Superstar Soccer Itchy and Scratchy Kawasaki Super Bike Challenge Kirby Superstar Legend of the Mystical Ninja Liberty or Death Metal Morph Micro Machines Operation Thunderbolt Rise of the Phoenix Run Saber SOS Sink or Swim Shein’s Revenge Sid Meier’s Civilization Sim City 2000 Sonic Blastman 2 Spider-Man The Animated Series Spanky’s Quest Spindizzy Worlds Uncharted Waters: New Horizons Would also be interested in any unique boxed SNES sets and items anyone might have, specifically the Killer Instinct and Super Game Boy pack-ins, and Mario Paint in-box (they’ve been a dream of mine to have). Very appreciative of any help this community is able to provide. You’ve all been wonderful to me and my collection over the years, and I can’t thank you all enough.

3rdStrongestMole | 430 Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 I just started this same journey about 3 weeks ago and it's been a blast even so far. I can't imagine being only 20+ games away. Im trying to get all mine in the wild and hopefully through VGS. Obviously there are some that won't pop up in the wild (hagane, aerofighters, etc) but I'm gonna see what kind of damage I can do before going to fleabay. If I come by any of these needs for you I'll PM you! Good luck with the final stretch!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a3quit4s | 4,096 Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 I’m just starting the SNES journey as well. The NES complete loose sucked but the N64 wasn’t bad so I’m hoping the SNES will be somewhere in the middle. I’m about 210 into SNES and have a long way to go! Good luck to you as you round out the set. I don’t see any of the higher priced stuff so it should be a stroll to the finish line! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 4,931 Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Spiderman is that the one with just Spiderman on the sticker with the mostly dreaded LJN rainbow, none of the other jibberish as there's a few versions. I might be able to help with that, problem is trying to ever find time to go deal with the lame post office and deal with import forms as I'm thinking I may have that cart.

I either missed that, or as little as a few years back I couldn't get it to work, and trying to use the USPS website at that time was such an utter headache I went in and just did the form. 8 minutes ago, Nick-Speed said: Awesome.

Yeah I don't intend to play it, I've tried to get into it a few times but it just became collection extras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might have 1 or 2 of these, i will have to look, but that requires me shipping international from the U.S. Are you interested if that is the case? I am more than willing to do so, but that means the shipping is more and we would have to talk about converting monies for paying and such. If you are willing I will try to figure out what all i have off your list and pm ya. Let me know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me know and we can talk about it if that is something you and him can work out on a price. I'll take care of customs papers etc. and we can all get something outta this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 4,931 Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 @JeevanYeah let's do it, that's fine by me if he's fine with it. It would save money on everyones end basically doing that given the costs rolling one little what...5oz~ SNES game into an existing box, it should move the value nowhere really. My kids school got moved to another spot, and with my wife in training for a month at her new job I don't have the free time anymore to go screw around with stuff. I usually have to bail on work like 10min early to drop stuff off as it is now anyway so I don't run late. (That's why I was mentioning forms, and the eternal slow crawl of the line tied to it.)
