Wow loved Toshiro Mifune in the Samurai / Miyamoto Musashi trilogy! One of my all-time favorite stories for sure. Nice retro brew-crew avatar as well!

Bought Rock Band 3 for $10 today, solely so I could play the London Calling album DLC. Who said that music games were dead?

guyjin · 04/27/2011, 10:04 PM

it's already down to $10? where did you buy that?

Used from a guy at work. Guess they aren't even giving that much at Gamestop for trade anymore. It is $20 new there now though, same as Amazon.

I wish I could find a box for my FZ-1 now. Though the FZ-10 seems a bit more reliable at times.

Mathius · 04/29/2011, 12:33 AM

Nice Blue! I almost bought an original Panasonic 3DO at MGC. I should never have gotten rid of mine bitd.

Those front loaders are mighty sweet looking!

CGQuarterly · 04/29/2011, 12:27 PM

Probably my last major haul of turbobs for a while.

Street Fighter II
The New Zealand Story
Son Son II
Daisenpuu

These were all in a trade for a spare TurboGrafx console that I had.

Little credit card protectors that also fit Hus. 20 of them for $2 shipped on eBay.

Ys Book I & II - $20. This is the Turbo Duo pack-in version. Is it supposed to have a rear insert?

Sega Genesis Power Tips Book - About $1.50 on Amazon
The Game Counsellor's Answer Book for Nintendo Game Players - About 75 cents on Amazon
5 issues of Game Player's from the early 90's. I don't know if there are any LA people here but I picked these up at Frank & Son. The guy had a while stack for $2 per issue, so I looked through it and grabbed anything that mentioned Turbo games on the cover. I don't live in LA but I hit up Frank & Son anytime I go down there.

Mine came in the mail yesterday too. They're a bit of a tight fit (that's what she said), but ya can't beat the price.

Nope, they cheaped out on the pack-ins.

CGQuarterly · 04/29/2011, 02:51 PM

I honestly don't mind the tight fit. I bought them for all of my loose Hus, and it's easier to flip through them like a deck of cards if the sleeve doesn't have a sloppy fit. Plus like you said, for $2 shipped you can't complain.

Sucks to hear about the rear insert. Maybe someone made one that I can print out...

Duo-R made a pretty good one: clicky.

First of all what is that exactly? I remember seeing it before.

Also, funny how it matches the US SNES color scheme more than the SF.

EDIT: Nevermind, just watched your video for the Loopy.

Found the electronics kit at a yardsale in my neighborhood this morning. When I opened up the box, everything was still shrink wrapped! I asked my neighbor how much she wanted for it (price tag on the box was over $50) and she said I could take it for free! I gave her a couple of bucks anyway, but still, wow! I can't wait until my son is a little older to dig into this.

The highlight of my day, though, was receiving the 2 DVD sets of Turbo Views. They look awesome. Production quality is through the roof! I can't wait to dig into these.

I also picked up a handful of Disney Laserdiscs for my son (who is turning 3 next week). Picked them up for $18.50 (shipped) off ebay. I figured the Laserdisc fans here might get a kick out of seeing them. Most of them are still shrink-wrapped with $29.99 price tags. :p

My next post to this thread will include actual games, I promise!

The Looney Tunes collections are great! They even feature shows, without the regular characters, and show classics like Marc Anthony. That was the long faced hound who struck up a hilariously cute relationship with a kitten. Classic!

chany60126 · 05/01/2011, 12:02 AM

Made some great pick-ups at some local retro shops. Finally got a certain chany game I have been looking to get for a while.

I've got that one, it truly is excellent!

roflmao · 05/01/2011, 09:44 PM

Yeah, it is. I already have it but this one is still sealed! I doubt it'll ever be worth anything, though I still think it's cool.

PunkCryborg · 05/01/2011, 11:49 PM

I bought out a local collectors set today. He had been collecting for a long time. He was getting rid of a ton of great games but it as a little sad seeing someone get rid of the things they collected for years. He was cool though and knew they were going to a good home. He had already sold some other stuff on ebay right before I got there so I missed out on some more stuff but I aint complaining. Now I am the proud owner of 3 copies of TV Sports Football

Did get a nice parasol stars and Sinistron is brand new.
