Tanooki

I've heard of him, a few years back during all the dopey marvel avengers hype he came out with the REVENGERS and they're a laugh. Here's a sample from the rear of the toy they did, from Incredible Fella.

@docile tapeworm @sdamike Good, and good to know. I had a feeling it was an open letter for anyone to take a poke at. They do submit it to right places, I got an email from Sen Rand Pauls office about receiving my online letter about it and if I wanted to follow up further to give them a call or write again. Unlike bitch mitch, he does actually care as much as a senator can at least these days. I've written there before once or twice from a form letter and had a conversation, not an autopenned response. Everyone should be filling that out. I get it's reporting vs skirting the rules but that's also why it was done that way so people wouldn't just end up slammed out of nowhere as long as they kept it under the ceiling. $600 is bs farce that was shoveled through with no transparency, no discussion, just thrown in as a sub-clause/rider on the bill and f'd tens of millions of people which was wrong.

I know I know, I've read the papers and documentation of the cobbled together manual and notes on the incomplete and could be hacked to complete bits that's on the fringe of making it a final release. It was most fantastically handled.

Largely agreeing with your first reply, other than I don't think having it tied to a marketing campaign is entirely necessary either. Dropping it either way, planned is a must, but not let word out ahead of time because you get those greedy crusaders who flip over not being able to control things. You'll get a mix of responses, largely people would prefer it be out there, it doesn't diminish the value of the actual original prototype (which isn't owned anyway, it's stolen) or the hardware it rests on that doesn't change. But some would rather like black market art dealing like to keep things hidden to a tight group of nearly none, out of the light, out of anyones hands so they can lord it over others or feel great quietly having something no one else can be damned the consequences. There's a spectrum to it all. Personally I lean towards fcgamer or what Cifaldi did with Sim City for the NES. With SC there was a huge media blitz when it appeared, it was shared with all documentation, learning about it, all the info possibly gained and then presented as a website with multiple deeper documents to fiddle around with too. The page fantastic with lots of images, the history and back story of it, but also the how it was found, how it went from A-Z, the recovery, etc. It was a sweet piece of work, I feel this is how it should go, online digital museum. It didn't suddenly make whoever owns it have a $10 piece of crap, the original is still worth the same hell of a lot of money if not more now that more people are aware and could try and bid it out of some owners hands.

LRG mailed me in around 3am on the 10th, they shipped Quake for Switch finally.

Hah loving this ending, I forgot about that website of joke goods. Quick someone buy this for your famicom too! https://obviousplant.com/collections/featured/products/super-ride-grandpa?variant=41575269925057 It's a game made for Super Jeff, has the rear sticker to prove it -- Super Ride Grandpa. Here's the rear shot:

Sad thing is, games like this will shortly be lost when it could easily be adapted in this case to ios/android or minimally speaking put up on the eshop for Switch too. This game would be perfect for a phone with the menu system in place there, not like you're struggling with some lame floating touch panel faux joystick that'll foul up your movements.

Hey I got this email from ebay earlier, they're lobbying on 3 different senate/house bills currently moving through the process to deal with this $600 bs. Two of them restore the original 20k(S.948 & S.3546), and one just goes to 5k up from 600 (S.3840). This is their community mailer, if someone has an account (or if not even required) give it a click. I mean it couldn't hurt. https://www.ebaymainstreet.com/campaign/2021-federal-1099-campaign Go here, copy/paste the bills I put into the field up top, you can read the language they're short: https://www.congress.gov/

It's old and original, but I'm guessing some kind of collection or reprint perhaps. The yellow dude looks like Disk-kun the little mascot of the Famicom Disk System which SMB1 and the (lost levels) SMB2 came out on. But then you also have all these panels about the upcoming SMB3 clearly which is well post FDS and it never came out on that format either as it couldn't handle it. Top of the third image with the big purple text, below that 3M cart that info there is about the upcoming release of SMB3 in October, the last box or two has the princess a toy story and waiting so it's like a teaser (early so not finalized maybe) of what to expect with the game when it comes out months later in October. Got a date on this?

Yeah that's my problem so far. When I find the non-flake it's great. Since I know I was losing looking at my big final ebay push last year over 40% when factoring their scummy tactics in on top of some supplies I needed to ship I figured I'd just offer like 1/3 or more off locally. I don't get any whiners over price, and when someone offers to buy enough I'll give them the cheapest item or two free for saving me the headache. That got me 2 people who have bought a few times from me over that.

Yes he beat me to linking that, but I've been to a few tax broker/law payment sites trying to cross reference it after it was brought up to me around a month/month and a half ago. As long as it's sent as friends and family, and you're not stupid enough to write "hey dude thanks for the games, here's X money" on the comment line you're safe. They can check for dumb comments on self audit at paypal or whatever, they see that, you'll have issues if you're caught. I'm not saying go hog wild, but let's say between you and me, you find another FC game or Japanese/Taiwanese gb cart or something I want, if I were to F&F you the funds and not leave a note, or thanks friend, or here's the payback I owe you thanks...something innocent in there, you're good. Just don't make it like a weekly habit is all either. Do it frequently enough and it'll smell, once a week, bi weekly, monthly you're fine. They'll just ignore it like you're a bunch of roomies and sending rent/utility money, friends sharing cash, etc you get the idea. That's why I broke my post on here back off of just being 100% trade only to adding some payment choices like cash, mo, or F&F paypal as a choice.

It's like the authentic imitation leather of the current 'new' games industry now isn't it? Pleather for everyone! The guy is a twit on multiple levels, it's not just the lying about it being 'very good' and authentic, the genius showed the game in the first place, but then takes a pic of the back that would make anyone who knows the basics know it's fake entirely and not just a re-shell.

Oooh that's a nice one, seems like the conversation we were having about the 110in1 looking familiar but not. It is a more common count I think but still. We should at least monitor the sellers feedback, I'm curious to see what someone might post when the receive that asininely overpriced $700 doorstop.

I really dig those tins, problem is ugh at this point prices. But also, some of that stuff without ability (reading) just isn't happening either. I had bomberman before but it didn't do much for me and had one of them already(the indiana jones-ish one) from the US side. The favorite is the Bonk/Genjin cart, that one I still have it, just the game as it's an amazing selection and value there.

Yeah I don't really see where Zelda II holds up better, it's as fox said, kind of a dark souls of the era, but even more creaky, cheap, and unforgiving with long aggravating stretches if (hah...when) you die. Zelda may be a bit more confusing, but it's not obtuse and infuriating, nor is the difficulty up there with the worst of the worst. Yes a couple dungeons are pure BS to find without a magazine or the internet, but around that the exploration isn't that hard nor is the map all that big either.

This change has kind of hurt kind of not so far. I've had ok luck getting rid of things and marginally not all that much worse than ebay after their disgusting fees they keep increasing and slapping on stuff. I had run numbers last year and when you have stuff at like $10 or less, the % they take creeps higher and higher, at a $5 item you don't even keep half since they tax you their fees on shipping charges too. Over that it creeps back closer to fairer levels like their 15%~ish they advertise (20-25 or so really again shipping fvf.) Seeing their amazing break down tool I'll give them credit for, I saw what I supposedly took in, but after their charges, shipping charges, fvf nonsense, and then having to occasionally buy some bubble wrap, bubble bags in mass, occasional box I was losing like 35% on ebay and another 5+% in materials so it was around 40%. Locally the point being you can look at what ebay stuff sells for, slice a 1/3 off that, make a clear point on facebook you'll do cash only, trades, or PP friends and family (doesn't report) and that you are firm unless multiple items go. Seems to work fairly well. If they bitch and lowball, tell them to pound sand or point out how much the same sells for, remind them of shipping costs, then state taxes too on that. That seems to shake some sense into some people too. In the end it's a bit more up front work vs just post and wait, and it will take longer with a limited audience, but it works. I'd rather lose 40% in trading/selling local than ebays(or the others) bs. Tack on the now shitty 15%~ tax over $600 an you'll be at 50% or better loss on what you sell vs what you keep. F that.

Ok the printing isn't backwards, where's the error?

I barely can tolerate High Speed and Pinbot on NES because of the really dumb choice of adding moving around table monsters that don't exist on the real hardware. It ruins the flow of the game and puts in some garbage that causes more issues than fun. I'd go with the other pinball sims/rpgs on the system unless that really wont' bother you.

@Hollywoodcaddy Yeah I know, and I don't remember ever seeing that in some air tight bag. I have one that's totally intact in great shape.

I’ve never seen a sealed one. Nintendo back then at best out stuff in untaped bags.

Just my current trade/sales list I have on here near yours currently. But if nothing there works, I have a few non-listed options I might be able to find something from.

I'd love that pocky and rocky, but I don't have what you are asking for. i do have some other expensive stuff that would compare though.

What the hell is wrong with people, this right here, that sale basically is a perfect example how far wrong things have gone.

It does make thing tricky. Without running it seems they figured out too late they fucked up, so with various jumps the edges have a like 1/2 wide square if you want to think of it as such a square lower so when you jump often you end up catching that instead of the rest of the platform that'll save you from even more cheap deaths. The gaps are just a hair too wide, if that wasn't there, you couldn't finish the first world let alone first stage or two of that.

No not really. The genesis went with the 32X instead and when it failed they used some salvaged concepts for that disgustingly overpriced ($100 back then) copy of Virtua Racing. Ig ot it like 2yr after it came out, Sega would on their own online shop and it by then was $20 as they couldn't get rid of the things. N64 didn't either, they did two other things. One was the 64DD which never left Japan (but almost did) and then their microcode triggers and related chips within the carts. They had this dual setup of security lockout like a 10NES kind of vaguely so, but also allowed for more complex operations with the N64 itself. Take for instance Mario 64 it is on the basic starter end, generic easy microcode chip, but late stuff like Factor5's Indiana Jones/Battle for Naboo use this ungodly complex one that allows for more stuff to work which tooks years(10+ after n64 got emulated to figure out and add for play.) That's as far as either really took it.
