I remember hearing about a GBC Comic BonBon sweepstake. I want to say it was for Robopon. Do you know whered I could find a list for those? They seem really cool, but they mostly fly under my radar

they only had 5 Robopon iirc.
sun, moon, start, bonbon, and the usa sun... they were KISS for CGB.  i do know of one or two cgb regular KISS cart for the robopon.  

not sure..  hit me up on pm will talk about the list there.  then we can let everyone know here..

still confused.  the fulls set for JPN DMG is 799 and your saying that both sets are 789.  Just trying to understand where i can help if i can..

I thought I would share my Japanese GBA collection. Still roughly 300 to go but it's coming along. I was hoping I was going to be able to fit it all in one bookcase but that's looking very unlikely. There's 787 in the set plus 5 multi packs of already released games and 3 special prize games that weren't released at retail. I'm just going for the 787 because I'm not a fan of multi packs, I'll probably pickup the 3 special prize games though at some point.

 

@Brickman  love the cibs..  confused as to the set.  what way are you taking this set??  the OG DMG or the full Gameboy (DMG, CGB, AGB) set??

Aw, man. I thought those were just aftermarket shell replacements and not authentic, but I looked deeper into it since you brought it up. Seems to be a European thing? And of course I want one now.

Number of GB-related items I've collected because of JVOSS: 92501834591

an to think we have not even started on the really rare stuff......

I completed the PIL set not too long ago. It's getting hard to find these since re-shells are so popular now.

 

nice but what about the black letters clear one..  it seams your missing that one?  or is that not one your after???

love i just got my set just need the one talked about ^^

- Label variants (was complete prior to @JVOSS's recent additions)

very nice setup @Splain,  i just have a few questions.   what side is the cabinet you have the set in??  i have to get, make on for the World set! 
i do have to say the DMG Gray Set is one of my most valued set.  fun facts for most.   DMG Gray World set is 2990 (with out extra variants ie.. PCB/OSQ/3 Line/Rom).  with all the others the count is between 3133 - 3500.... there are a few set i don't know if it will ever be completed.  PCB set, Kiosk, BAR-USA set or the ROC set.  just to few to verify the real carts..

For my usa full set from PCB, ROM, Variant 1, Variant 2 and then lastly the LABEL Variant will bring your USA Cart Set to 659,  sadly i'm missing 3.   just how crazy it that.

If you're ever looking for something that is only available on Ebay Aus shoot me a message and I'll buy it for you  

lol they are all on ebay lol...

Interesting, didn’t know that. Thanks for the info. Now that I’ve started with the deluxe versions I guess I better get the rest of them as deluxe to keep them uniform. 

I’m just going for a JPN set CIB. World set would be your level of craziness 

I am going for CIB so I’ll definitely hit you up about them in the future. They’re definitely not at the top of my want list though so that will probably be down the road.

you know i'm looking for the aus loose so easy trade.. 

Just now, Brickman said:

Yep. I think there is about 15 or so of them. I only have two so far and they’re already annoying me 

if you want hit me up. i have a few i want to get rid of..  if your going for cibs....

Thought so. The Shikakei Atama o Kore Kusuru games are the worst offenders, the boxes are huge, definitely throws off the uniformity. Thankfully after the original GB they went with uniform boxes for their handhelds.

actually they have a "standard" version which is the med box.  the big box is the deluxe versions.  you heading for a world cib gb set??? or you just picking up here and there jpn games??

Some more GBA added and two GB games. The Simpsons game is a rather rare CIB for the Japanese set so I was happy to finally tick that one off. Apparently the game sucks though.

Also, I have to say how much I hate the inconsistent box sizes of Japanese GB games. I don't know if this is an issue for the US GB boxes but the Japanese ones could never decide if they were going small, medium or large so they look awful on a shelf. GBA got it right, all uniform size.

 

nope japan is the only region that had diff sizes rest of the world used the usa size. and that all the way to DS... jpn just did not like the same size for anything......

@Splain  "Repair"  is what i have used for a rom that dose not match the pcb ic code..  This is what i'm calling it this has show up in more like JPN Pokemon Yellow  they have codes A through D but the highest chip code is -2...    In Europe there Mortal Combat 2 (IIRC) has a A rom code and the Chip shows none..  or even the Zelda DX has rom codes A, AB, B, C  but only show -2 on the chips.  so the only reasonable explanation i can see is that Nintendo did a repair and put these back out through there Employee Stors world wide..

Finally have the three double labeled/relabeled games now.  Question:  what label is hiding under the Pit Fighter game?  Its clearly different than the one on top. 

Alll the under labels are from European regions. what i wanting to know is where they were sold.
