I am looking to buy the following CIB SNES games in near pristine condition (e.g. box has only minor scuffing, no crushing or creases, manual is fairly unused) with any posters, registration cards, and other inserts that came with the box.  I can make exceptions for the Nintendo Power and Consumer Information inserts; however, if the game came with a special Nintendo Power insert, then I'd like to have this included.  

• ActRaiser
• EVO The Search for Eden
• Killer Instinct (must include the CD, either unopened, or unscratched)
• Mega Man 7
• Mega Man X3
• Pilotwings
• Street Fighter II Turbo
• Super Castlevania IV

-EVO must include box, manual, cartridge, and impressions card

These are the last set of SNES games that I'd like to collect.  Thank you to anyone who took the time to read.

Wow, that is impressive, and everything is in immaculate condition.  I really appreciate the info...even if MM1 has more than enough, I think it's better to get everything.  Time to start looking.

I'm looking to fully complete all of my Mega Man NES boxed games, 
but I cannot find any sources that provide the inventory of all contents 
for each game, except for Mega Man 6, which can be found at 
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/nes/916386-nes/faqs/49943.  
Does anyone know of any references that list the box contents for 
Mega Man 1 through 5 similar to the information below that outlines 
the contents of Mega Man 6?

Mega Man 6
     - Cartridge (NES-G6-USA-1)
     - Box (NES-G6-USA)
     - Manual (NES-G6-USA-1)
     - Poster Advert (GP-NES-USA-2)
     - Consumer Information and Precautions Booklet (NES-USA/CAN-2)
     - Nintendo Power Subscription Card (GP-NES-USA-1)
     - Foil Nintendo Dust Sleeve

Looking to purchase a manual for Transformers Beast Wars Transmetals for N64.  Willing to pay up to $200.  Maybe more, depending on condition of the manual.

Here's everything I have:

As the title states, I recently purchased a CIB Chrono Trigger, but it does not have the registration card, so I'm looking to purchase one.

I am looking to buy a Chrono Trigger Registration card and an Earthbound Nintendo Power post card/insert that came with the big box Earthbound game.  Please DM me to let me know if you have one to sell - I'm looking to make my CIB Earthbound fully complete.  I will pay up to $100 for the Earthbound card and up to $50 for the Chrono Trigger card.

Also looking for the U/P-GP-SNS-USA-4 poster, but that's secondary at this time.

Thanks!!

Well, on LRG site for non limited releases it specifically says that you can buy in multiples of 30 and get sent in a sealed factory box, so there is that to support the 30 to a case.

Can you please post a link to where it states this?  Very interesting.

Were you the one looking for a case of Mario 3D All-stars?  I'm interested in seeing the case.  I don't think I've known anyone actively looking for something like this for a modern console, much less a game that's still available in stores.

If you don't mind me asking, why are you looking to bulk buy this?  Investment?

Yes, that's me.  I'm doing this as a long term gamble that those games will become valuable sometime in the future (not the near future), especially since they will cease production in March 2021.  I will likely buy 2 or 3 factory boxes, and try to have the games in 1 box graded via WATA or VGA (hopefully getting a perfect 10).  The other 2 boxes I will stash away and forget about them until maybe 20 years later.  It's somewhat of a pricey experiment, but it's a risk I'm willing to take.  If I can do this with 3D All Stars, then I will likely do the same next year if/when the Zelda Anniversary collection is released.  I really like seeing these factory boxes of Nintendo 64 games surface on eBay - having been stored away for over 20 years until now.  It's fascinating.  So I want to tap into that mystique with Switch games down the road.  

I'm in the process of buying a case of switch games from a distributor, and they mention that a factory shipment box/case of switch games come with 30 games.  However, other sources have told me that factory boxes come with 24 games and others come with 35 games.  Is there a set standard for how many games come in a factory shipment?  Also, does anyone have any photos of what these factory shipment (or "Master Cases") look like?  As of now, I don't know what to expect, and it would be nice to know what these cases hold and what they are supposed to look like.  It seems that there aren't really any sources online that describe how Switch games are shipped.

I live in a one bedroom condo, and I keep all of my N64 games on a wall illuminated by LED track lighting with no direct sunlight.  They've been on the wall for about 2 months, but I'm considering buying a cabinet system in the next few months.  The track lights are on every day and shut off every night.  Will the track lights cause fading?  If so, how long would it take to notice significantly? I've provided a photo of my collection and the track light setup.

I've got one each of the USA and Canadian versions with the thicker cardboard and a thinner one like the one you received but a CAN version; the print is bilingual, and it says "Only for sale and use in Canada" on the back with the fine print. My sister and I got a first print for Christmas of '92 (the thicker cardboard version) which was purchased in Québec.

I've always figured that Nintendo just switched it up to save money on packaging.

That's what I thought too.  I showed the photos to my local retro game store and he said the same thing.  Nintendo tended to cut costs on later releases games with special packaging by reducing the "special" materials and using regular materials - in this case, using regular box cardboard rather than special corrugated/thick cardboard.  

I want to buy an entire case of Super Mario 3D All Stars, but I'm ok with paying retail price. A case, meaning the box of sealed games straight from the factory, so that they are considered "case fresh".  I'm not a retailer, but I just need one case in an unopened factory box. Does anyone know who I can contact to buy an unopened factory case/box of switch games in general?  My intent (not that it should matter) is to save some, grade some, and gift some.  I just can't find anywhere where I can buy a factory box of switch games.

I was a bidder and quite sure my snipe of $2224 would be the winner when it started. Couldn’t believe the final price. 

Given that previous CIB sales went for around $1250 and under, I wonder what caused the top bidder to come out of the woodwork and throw down $4550?  Was it the bidding frenzy?  Spiteful bidding?  I wonder if there is any buyer's remorse.  Not gonna lie, seeing the whole thing unfold shocked and angered me, as I'm sure it did for a lot of other bidders.
