Well today has been a day of Games, games and more games!... with some controllers thrown in too.

 

This morning i got from Japan a nice deal on some original GameBoy classics. ;) Pretty awesome that Green came with the original map too! Ive got Pocket Monsters Blue and Yellow still on their way just to complete the set. :p

Also a nice selection of Dreamcast games. Just some titles i really would like to play and got them for a steal considering the two bottom rows of games are brand spanking new still plastic wrapped. :D :D :D

And im really glad these arrived safely but ive been wanting to get some of these for a long time :redface , and yeah just decided what the hell and got them last week, they also arrived today. :cool:

Cant wait to try them out! Version 1 & 2 are Sega MegaDrive, the other one is Playstation 1.

Just a few more things i didn't have time to photo and upload before dinner (Mmmmm,.... T-Bone steak tonight!) :D

There is also 2 more things i want to show but, im thinking these deserve an unboxing video to be made. Ill take some photos too, just cos i can. (and if the videos turn out crap). :(

 

Anyways here is a brand new mint (spearmint, not peppermint :realmad: ) Boxed Jap Sega Saturn Gun, Virtua Cop release. Everything was nicely wrapped up with the new game too of course. all internal cardboard is perfect.:D

I wanted to get a black gun too becuase i have a whole boxed Saturn on its way and that will be coming with a blue gun. So i needed a second gun for playing with my friend of course, and that is why i chose a different color. :redface

It will be coming with Virtua Cop 2 on the Saturn so i don't mind that this Jap version can stay minty unused in the box quite happily :cool: . Ill keep my eyes out for a nice Pal version too if one pops up. Gun feels lonely to hold brand new too. :p

Also a pair of Sega Game Gear games all boxed and complete nice too. Mortal Kombat I & II.

If you know me you know i love my Game Gear (all my hand helds really) and yeah i could not pass up this rare find of a pair of them boxed in such good condition. Just lovely! :cool:

And last, but by no means least at all... Is something not very retro, but still drool worthy and on a 1 to 10 scale of aweosmeness, it would be a 17.5! :o :o :o

Collectors edition making of Resident Evil 5 box sex with a chainsaw USB drive. REALLY awesome! I got this yesterday but waited for what arrived today which was the Watch! :redface

The watch is a very limited edition resident Evil 5 wrist watch, very chunky and stainless steel, and VERY high quality watch. Only 555 of these were made and each watch is engraved with #001-#555 on the back. :cool: ( I love limited edition stuf that is actually limited in its release and numbered accordingly.

The detail on the watch is amazing and its got a very heavy feel to it. I was lucky to get mine at such a good price too, i called the guy up in the UK and after 10 mins of fast talking i got him down from 175 pounds :o down to just 122 pounds + postage :) . Considering these things were 119 pounds brand new and extremely hard to get, i think i came out good ;) . I have seen only 3 for sale before and none of them were even close to selling at its original sale price.

I have #143 and this one is also brand new never been worn still with all the original plastic strips on the stainless steel. Even the packaging the watch is in is fantastic too on a little black velvet pillow.

Thank god its Friday!... and just in time too for a nice big haul of stuff today just in time for a weekend retro Game-A-Thon. :D

 

Finally my Sega Saturn Console arrived. All safe and sound too, im really happy about that. It came from the UK, but in the superb condition it is in AND plus it game with a gun and 17 (Fifa 96 isn't pictured) of the most awesome games i would want to play (previous owner definitely had some good taste in games), it was well worth the $$$. As a whole it was a pretty damn good buy. So all in all im pretty happy and proud. :)

The box is in such a crisp and amazing condition (even the internal cardboard packaging was damage free) and all the games have been so well looked after. I could not be more happy with this, and i just had to sit down and have a quick look at each game. Everything works so perfectly. :D

And again, quite a few packages were waiting at the post office for me after work too. This is what i had to juggle and try and carry back to the car. :(

Anyways, here is a consolidation of the stash that arrived yesterday and today.

Got these on the cheap so it was a damn good bargain. Didn't have the Super Game Boy so im happy i found a good local one. :)

Also a brand spanking new (old stock) Sega Control Stick. Oh ive had my eye on one of these for such a long time. Interesting to see that it si the reverse of the way most other controllers are set up :blink: , with this one having the directional control for the right hand and the buttons for the left. Kinda interesting i think from a design perspective. :huh:

Got this Gameboy Camera too, So it will match the red Game Boy original i have. Oh i love things that are matching. :redface

And also just in time for the Sega Saturn's arrival today, is this big boxed copy of "King of fighters '95" complete with instructions AND the memory cartridge. This is in an awesome condition and am very happy about this :) . Cost a bit but totally worth it. Also the limited edition promo Gamecube game of Star Wars Rebel Strike. It comes with the full version of the old Atari Star Wars game. Oh and and a minty sweet copy of Sonic 3D on the MegaDrive. :rolleyes

And last, but by no means least... a pair of brand new Wonderswan consoles. A Earth Federation Gundam edition of the original Wonderswan, and the Final Fantasy 1 edition of the Wonderswan Color. Very happy with these and my first

Bandai items. Nice beginning to my Wonderswan collection. :D :D :D

A great lot of Saturn titles there and gear in general, are those Wonderswans limited editions or just standard with game bundled?

 

Yeah they are special limited editions. I have another Gundam one on its way as well as the Final Fantasy 2 editions. Both new and coming from Japan. Really looking forward to seeing them all together on my shelf. Even more happy to be playing them too. :redface

my dad got told his PO box would be investigated about 2 years back during my split with my ex wife when i was living at home with my bro using the same PO box

 

we had about 5-10 parcels a week from OS and the lady behind the counter used to complain and thought we were up to no good :lol

No, not at all. My Postman that comes in the mornings is always the same guy and pretty regular. He has gotten to know me getting parcels like this pretty well. Always thankful he is such a nice guy and is careful with them for me.

 

As for the ladies at the post office, its the same. We had a good old joke and laugh about it today actually and that when i come in they know there are a few out the back for me. It is kinda funny but they are nice gals.

Post a pic of yourself in front of your collection, just to verify all.....

 

After last night, this isn't even funny... :( :( :(

 

I just hate the fact i was FORCED to stand up for myself and FORCED to prove myself, then FORCED to see all my eBay details and rather personal information just publicly posted in a forums. :x

...Now im being FORCED to accept "sorry" and just move on like nothing ever happened (if i dont, then im just being a bad sport). Sorry just has no meaning now days anymore, especially when its written with more justifying accusations.

 

But to answer you, mainly the reason i haven't taken a pic of my collection as a whole is becuase ive kinda slowly accumulated so much stuff now, it overflowing my games shelves and console shelf.

I have been wanting to design an make up my own display shelving for everything, trouble is its going to be big, take up most of a wall, and with all the other furniture i have right now, thats just impossible as the room just isnt there. Ive already had to move out one set of antique cupboards to the shed, to make room for an antique piano this year.

I dont even think i have enough floor space to lay everything out to even take a photo... This reminds me too, i need to start pulling down and packing away my Xmas tree. :redface

No I was responding to the usual "post a pic or it didn't happen" call, which grates. I was showing interest in his collection, i wasnt aware of what went down last night ,anywho this is boring and unnecessary... So....

 

Let's move on.

 

So rolento is a combo fiend in sf x tekken..... ;)

Tim, look i know you meant nothing by what you said, probably just some bad timing thats all.

My reply was just talking about the situation in the WanderSwan thread at the time.

 

And sorry i havent responded much today, but i just dont know if i will or not anymore thats all. Just a lot to think about.

Im just not keen to share at all now, just in case i upset someone else or step on their toes with an item i have.

"Once bitten, twice shy" they say... and honestly i just dont want crap like that to happen again. And everyone is treating this like its just a meaningless little thing, but to me it is not that simple, or easy to forget and move on.

 

My apologies to all those who are confused.

I have a new man/demon (?) crush on ONI.....

 

Oni is cool but there is something about busting kara demon in 3s with a perfect setup which is extremely satisfying :D

 

Regarding whatever the hell happened... all I can say is I was enjoying the collection thread.
