Ty guys fot the help.  The main thing with DT1 I was trying to figure out was if it had a coupon code with it.

The above info for RR2 and MFF just confirmed what I thought.  It seems like it's only 5 games with those -3 reg cards.  That will be the challenge to finding and completing these.  If I could get those regis I could buy other copies to finish them off.

The coupon that comes with it depends on which date code is printed on the box flap. It can be any of the coupons from 1 - 3.

Also, it comes with no coupon if the banner on the front is removed (the little coupon offer banner! obviously)

Mega Man 6 is not a Capcom published game though, it's considered a First Party game (more specifically, I supposed it's a "Second Party" game but still)

EDIT: This is a delayed response to a months old conversation...whoops.

This is DT2, from a sealed copy that someone opened. 
 

 

Duck Tales

• Duck Tales 1 is highly dependant on the date code. It was printed for a long time, and the "insert pattern" changed as time went on. Without precise date codes, you can not even pretend to assign inserts to a box.

Mighty Final Fight

• Poster: CAP-NES-US-5
• Mail Card: CAP-NES-US-3 (Free Prizes version, not Coupon version)
• Document: NES-USA/CAN-2
• Nintendo Power: GP-NES-USA (I pulled the ultimate 1-up)
• Dust Sleeve: Flat black
• NOTE: GP-NES-USA-1 might also be found if they reprinted this game at the same time as Chip n Dale Rescue Rangers 2. Rare as it may be, it's a possibility that a second print run exists.

Chip n Dale Rescue Rangers 2

• Poster: CAP-NES-US-5
• Mail Card: CAP-NES-US-3 (Free Prizes version, not Coupon version)
• Document: NES-USA/CAN-2
• Nintendo Power: GP-NES-USA-1 (Whoa!)
• Dust Sleeve: Flat Black

Sidenote: NES-USA/CAN-1 an NES-USA/CAN-2 seem to appear whenever they feel like in late releases. Possible that Nintendo just forgot to throw out the outdated -1's at some point in history and they made their way into later 1993 / early 1994 boxes...so don't be surprised if you ever see a -1 in a late late box.

>_> Between this and the @Richardhead becoming a homewrecker thing...

I'm almost certain VGS has been taken over by AI.

@T-Pac we need your expert opinion.

I think it is the obligation of the person IN the relationship to respect the relationship and set the boundaries... I don't buy into blaming the outsider. At the same time, not everyone sees it that way and this could very easily end badly for you. It's probably not worth it. 

Hypothetical Scenario:

Your daughter goes and steals money out of your wallet after your son tells her he’ll drive her to the mall to buy stuff as long as he gets some cash out of it too.

As a parent you’d be upset with both of them, and blame your son for encouraging her, and even bribing her with fun.

Correct. 
I’m I am not looking forward to the confrontation that is inevitably going to happen. 
I am fit  enough to protect myself in certain situations though. 
Not that it’s going to solve the problem if they go a certain route.

A good portion of regular guys will just (rightly) kick your ass.

So, you have a bodybuilder, a cop, and a literal psychopath as your self-made enemies.

1. Body builder will likely just kick your ass.
2. The Psycho is liable to kill you.
3. But the Cop? That's a nightmare scenario if he has any seniority at all.

Also, all three of these woman are highly likely to get whipped (or even killed) themselves.

Like, is it really that hard to download Tinder? You said you're a fit guy, right?

Just now, Richardhead said:

Yeah. I’m not a good person. Maybe I used to be. But all that went out the door a while back. 

I am beyond regretful for all of this. 

I mean, ok you do you in that front.

But, karma is a bitch and the three dudes you're describing sound almost like the stereotypical dude you DON'T want to piss off by screwing their wives.

You were cheated on, and decided to let not one, but three other dudes go through those same feelings?

wat?

And at your age you aren't being messing with a 10 year marriage, you're messing with a marriage that spans a couple decades now. Jesus man...at least get them after the divorce.

• circle seal
• oval seal TM
• oval seal R

That's pretty much it.

Also, there's No ™/® Oval SoQ variants as well. But I can't even remember right now which games they are.

Also, for the completionists sake, you have the Oval one that's in Spanish for "World Games" in the USA library.

My rule of thumb is "Can you reasonably expect it to see it at a garage sale one day"

If it fails that general rule, then it's not a rare game.

if @ThePhleo didnt use samson for branding the price would probably be reasonable

My secret's out! I've been manipulating the Samson market since 2011!

Some economist is have a stroke at how you turned a supply/demand curve into a three, potentially four dimension graph

Nah, they have those weird greek alphabet ratio things that calculate this stuff for them and they like to pretend it's just supply/demand so us "normies" can think the world is ezpz.

I WANNA SEE THIS DEFAULTGEN...I WANT TO SEE THIS

I think you need to plot price trends on a 3D membrane graph to make full sense of the hobby as a whole.

Current Notoriety + Current Scarcity = Current Price

I bet there would be some nice sensible peaks and valleys in a graph like this that would give you a "eureka" moment.

Like, Little Samson isn't super rare, but it is currently pretty scarce...and very notorious so it has a high price. Firehouse Rescue on the other hand is VERY rare, but not talked about at all so it has very little motivating it to push upwards.......Super mario bros. is EXTREMELY common, but also EXTREMELY rare in (conditionally speaking) in nice condition and EXTREMELY talked about so it's "the grail" in mint condition.

Actually, scratch that...you also need to add a fourth dimension to represent condition as well...so include colors to represent condition.

I was referring to the fact he was using physical appearance to portray the image of a country. To me, this is quite bizarre. I thought this was a thread for the 2024 Presidential Election, not a pageant.

Oh! I was just hyped up to denounce my favorite president everyone loves :V

They're all strange people really...it takes a special type of person to want to lead an entire country.

So what about FDR? Was that not a good look?

FDR was fortunate to leave a legacy by being a wartime president and used his executive powers to spearhead spending that we're still paying for to this very day. Overall he was a very racist and terrible human being though.

1. He nominated Hugo Black to the Supreme Court. A known KKK member
2. He established concentration camps (just like Hitler!) for Japanese-American's during WW2
3. He refused to acknowledge Jesse Owens and other black athletes after the 1936 Olympics. Jesse Owens even said "Hitler didn't snub me. It was our President who snubbed me. The president didn't even send me a telegram"
4. He was a known anti-Semite, and refused to help the Jews, Romani, and gay during and after WW2.
5. The New Deal & WW2 increased U.S. debt by almost 800%

But yeah, the New Deal was a good thing overall...but again, we're still paying for it to this day. In fact, we haven't paid a single cent down of U.S. debt since I think, Calvin Coolidge...every administration since his has added debt, again, meaning to this day we're carrying 100 year old debt forward.

I NEED that Indy Heat with the sticker. Please consider selling it to me directly if you're going to be selling the lot.

More or less confirms it's an actual label variant. Pretty cool stuff :)

Thanks so much everyone for the support! Tomorrow is the big day of the indie software exhibition local to me, so I've been busy this past week staying up waaaay too late finishing everything up for there.

I'll go back this weekend and reply to posts here, I've read everything and really appreciate the comments and thoughts, but I want to respond individually too, just haven't had the time. I'll post pics from tomorrow's event afterwards too. Thanks guys

Man, I know it sounds weird but I'm so proud to see you doing all of this

Living the hobbyist dream, and doing cool stuff like this and the books!

I pronounce it Xexyz.

I'm still shocked at how you manage to get so much emotion in a character without eyes and a mouth...

Also, what did T-Pac do with Casual Carts body? CLEARLY we seen them in a room together a few posts ago, but I'm assuming we'll never see CasualCart ever again.
