Welcome! I've been playing a lot of PUBG lately with my cousin and some friends. Boy is that game addicting! When you get down to that last little circle of no storm, the adrenaline is pumping!

Is adding tags/keywords for notifications a possibility? For example, when my username gets tagged I get an alert and I can read/respond quickly. If/when people mention NES-City, I'd also like to get an alert. Given the volume of posts we have here, reading every single comment is a challenge. The next option is to search. While that works, it requires me to search quite often. If I don't search then I'm super late to comment. Thought it might be a good idea.

7. You need to set the bar low for his movies and you'll enjoy them more. Also, if you were watching/around when he was on SNL, you might have a better appreciation for his flicks. 

Figured I'd chime in. The box 100% looks suspicious. If I'm right, as mentioned, this is a newer style of repo boxes that is made with "cardboard" paper and not just 14pt whitestock.

This pic makes me uncomfortable too. The black is washed out and the yellow is blurry. Looking at my copy, the black is a pure dark black with no hints of white/grey.

Finally, the plastic seal isn't an H-seam, and whomever opened this removed the Tyson letter and manual? Seems odd.

I'd advise anyone to steer clear of this auction.

Coins, comics, and action figures. As my little guy is getting older he's started his own collections as well. Dice and matchbox cars. 

Bummer, she was great, lots of depth. RIP.

Oh man, I want one! I love these unique peripherals, even if its not licensed. Super cool, hold on to it!

I have PMG-US and a bunch of 1994 NES Funko instructions too. 

I've got a sealed Sara Parkers Pool Challenge if you're still interested. PM me, we can chat.

I too was going to get something graded. I don't have a single graded item in my collection. Since they grade "anything" I had reached out about a TimeWalk CIB I have. But never heard back. I tried via email and FB Messenger but was just ignored. I'm not sure if they ignored me due to the game or their support is shitty. It was something I wanted to try, perhaps become a customer, but if you can't muster a response after a few days/weeks, then its not worth my time either. 

Best of luck to you, I look forward to hearing how the rest of this works out. 

I remember that too! Welcome to VGS!

Frustratingly, the dark mode theme seems to have STILL not updated to version 4.5, which is required for it to work properly. 

To be frank, supporting two themes is tough; I have to make changes in both places, and since Dark Mode is based on a separate theme, I have to do double duty on it especially. 

I'm considering either finding a new dark theme template, or making my own from scratch (which would be no small undertaking).

Its working now. Stop being so modest.

Refreshing didn't work for me. Still seeing the same issue. Incognito as well. 

Sometimes you get a shitty rep too. They're short with you and often provide confusing and inaccurate info. When I get into those situations I'll often call back, being extra polite, and ask them to clarify what the last person said. Often the first person is incorrect, or in some cases I ask for special consideration as I believe I was mislead/misinformed. You'd be surprised how often they try to do something extra for you when you approach them like that. 

Cool off and call them back, the worst they can say is no...

Here’s a video of me removing a sticker seal: https://imgur.com/a/cDsNk35

If I wasn’t holding the phone with one hand I’d be using that hand to pull the sticker while applying Bestine simultaneously and it would be a smooth quick process. 

Patience. That's what it comes down to. The video was a nail biter!

I went with 8 but I wouldn't say it was the best movie that year. 7 wasn't strong enough. Good balance of action and suspense. There is a scene that while good, doesn't really add anything to the plot. Overall a great movie. Its a remake of a 1953 movies of the same name (also a good film). 

7/10. Fun movie, sci-fi, comedy, action all rolled into one. Plus Chris Tucker in his prime lol

So what if I do?! 

I ain't here to show off, I'm here to point out the micro-aggressions inherent in the VGS charm system! 

Then why are you in the show off section?

I've got four. PM me and we can chat. 

In for participation, I'm not good at Tetris

It was just a matter of time. Its obviously a hot topic, but it's time to put it to bed. 

Not all are homebrews, but of the homebrews there are 50+ shown here.

I'd like that Music Cart Collection one please!

This thread is very cool, I got to see some music cart labels that I haven't been able to get a good look at otherwise

I thought I was the only person who collect ASM Retro! Very cool. Whats the last NES cart in the second row? I've seen it once before at a Retro Game shop in NYC, but the label doesn't tell much.

I gave it a 9.  I love, love LOVE Carpenter and Russell, and would easily put this in my top 25.  But it's not quite top 10.

I did the same for the same reason. It's a great cult classic, but not in the top 10.
