I still want the blue and white ones

Sad to see yet another childhood favorite blown up at YouTube's expense. xD

So I just checked mole mania for a Friend last night, and I was shocked. Loose over $100 and CIB & sealed 300+...

I took a year off collecting during COVID but this is rediculous lol

Sooo... Do we Blame Heritage Auctions, YouTubers now or COVID?

I have a absolute love for Star wars Pre-Disney Era... When the Expanded Universe was under control, When George Lucas could joke about Jon Stew... When Leland Chee had everything under wraps, When I could watch a Cartoon and read a Comic book, Play a Video game and sleep knowing that I could feel safe.

It was "Before the dark times, before the Empiire MOUSE"!

Just imagine that you went away for a bit and they remodelled... and move into a new town lol

Hello and Welcome

Thanks!, yeah I kept a look out for a few months hoping someone would have taken matters into their own hands over there or SOMETHING! All I found left after waiting was a dumpster fire to keep warm. Glad to move in over here, Where Theres at least a floor and 4 walls. lol

I had a copy of Tron Bonne I bought new when I was a kid waiting for Megaman Legends 2. I am still an active fan of all things MML.  I probably had alot of crazy stuff as a kid in todays $$$$ standards but Tron Bonne still holds a special place in my heart xD

That's the first wizard I've seen that wears yoga pants...

I feel like under that disguise it is secretly Just "Ristar" with a Cloak and Beard. Which I am Perfectly okay with xD

Yeah, I wanted to look for a nice, CIB Final Fantasy from Japan since I had already started SFC collecting a while ago.  I was surprised to see where those prices were.

Honestly, I’d long wondered why Japanese CIB/NIB games were so cheap.  Sure, there isn’r any US nostalgia for those items but, let’s be honest, if it’s shelf candy, their art and packaging was usually 10x more awesome than ours. 

The way I always understood the Japanese Retro Market is that 90% of the used Market fluctuates based on what the demand that is Exported as the Typical people in Japan do not Collect large quantities of Video Games. The Average Japanese Household is pretty small, And It just not considered  a "Progressive" way of thinking to embellish the old to not stay up to date with a career or modern technology in their culture.

Again, Thats just been my perspective.

Badges exist (see my profile), we're currently working on deciding what to do design-wise for them. Then they'll start rolling out. For now the only badge is for subscribing to the site.

Awesome to hear

I like the new logo and mascot design, very nice, perfect actually. Dude definitely looks like he should star in his own game.

I very much agree, I feel like It was a Great Job incorporating the feel of previous site Mascot. (Not sure about his legs though) xD

Id like to see the comeback of Badges for people to collect again. I really miss The NA "Nostalgia" Aesthetics  xD

Have you considered getting some tables at Midwest?

Good luck! Just out of curiosity where are you located?

Hey guys, It was a fun ride. No Regrets! But I am downsizing my collection and have decided to finally sell my complete NES, N64 and WII U collections as well as almost 3 or 4 other near complete Cartridge libraries. (SNES, GENESIS, GB, GBC, GBA) Selling a total of 4200+ Games across all platforms. I lost my job in October 2018 and now work with a buddy running a couple of his video game stores and I just feel like Its time I take a break from the hobby and get my life back together.

The best way I can think of this large or a Collection is to split it up. But It would take years to sell. I also have a collection of Nintendo Kiosks I am contemplating selling. As well as Hundreds of Consoles But not quite sure of yet, (Maybe If I have to relocate for a Job.)

If you're interested send a PM, If not maybe you can give me some advice. Much Appreciated. Thanks!

I made a troll Video for a friend a year ago  "Video Attached for reference "

Give this man a Zelda Badge... oh wait xD
