Official Sega-16 Haul Thread. 4.0

[QuickSciFi]

Based on my collecting history and the items I own, in terms of collecting CIB (and mint, for that matter), the ease (odds) of finding your pieces is:

Plastic Clamshell Games: (i.e.- Genesis, PS2, DS)

Game > Case > Insert Cover >>>>>> Manual

Cardboard Box Games (i.e.- Some Genesis, SNES, NES, GBA)

Game >>>>>> Manual > Case

Proprietary (or at least unique) Jewel Case (i.e.- American Saturn, Some PS1, etc.)

Game > Jewel Case >>>>> Insert (Back Cover) > Manual (Front Cover)

Original Jewel Case: (i.e. U.S. Dreamcast, PS1)

Game ~ Jewel Case > Insert (Back Cover) >>>>>> Manual (Front Cover)


P.S.> I do tend to buy donor cases on the cheap, which should factor in on my opinion.

I'd love to see what you guys have experienced thus far.

Just got myself a V-Saturn with controller and cable off of eBay for £67.00 in very good condition with a quite good condition box. Is this a good deal?

Anyone know? Sorry to go on about it, but I couldn't actually find any info anywhere. Also, is it right that any region copy of Street Fighter Alpha 2 on Saturn works in any region console?
Thanks.

I've been looking for Rez for the PS2 for several months now, so when I found it loose at GameStop for $5 today I didn't think I could afford to be particular about it. Sure, it doesn't "count" in my collection until I at least have the case, but now I can at least play it and see what all the fuss is about.

I also picked up a CIB Rebel Strike for the GameCube for $6.99, since the copy I had was uncomplete and pretty thrashed. At a different GameStop I got the two Untold Legends games for the PSP for $3 each.

At Dimple Records I found four relatively-uncommon SNES carts: Wario's Woods, Yoshi's Safari, Darius Twin, and Actraiser 2 for $5.99 each. I also found a CIB Nights: Journy of Dreams for the Wii for $2.99. I've heard nothing but bad things about this last game, but for $3 I'll take the risk.

How much does the Mega Man X2 Manual worth??

I'd say it's worth the $3 at least, if you liked the first game. That's about what I paid as well, and while the game is a bit weak they did a great job on keeping the feel of the original's soundtrack.

today I picked up a complete copy of dragon quest VIII for ps2 for $3.96, I've never tried a dragon quest game other then rocket slime for ds so I figured why not since it was under $4 and complete.

Just take the case from a crappy ps2 game and print out the cover from thecoverproject

PC Engine and an Avenue 6 pad arrived from Japan today. Still awaiting the arrival of a multitap and Turbo Everdrive.

Today at Goodwill I found an innocuous-looking zippered "game system" case. Inside was a Game Gear with the wall adaptor, car adaptor, and 9 games: Sonic 2, Urban Strike, X-Men, Surf Ninjas, Ecco: Tides of Time, Desert Speedtrap, The Lost World, The Adventures of Batman & Robin, and some crappy baseball game.

Not too shabby for $20.

That's not bad. In England, I've never ever actually seen a Game Gear, the game shops here don't seem to have those sorts of things. There was one shop that had an entire cabinet near me, but I honestly never thought of buying anything, seeing as I was about 8 years old. I wish I had, there might have been a sealed 32X or CIB Hi-Saturn Navi for £20 for all I know. Shame.

On Sunday, I won a Sega Nomad on eBay for £76 all in and it arrived this evening (just the Nomad on it's own - didn't want to pay £150 for a boxed one).

Around the same time as winning the Nomad, I bought an AA battery pack for it from America on eBay - only to discover this evening that it actually came with one (wasn't mentioned in the eBay listing), so, as you can imagine, I was pretty happy (given how hard they are to come across).

Also, the bloke I bought it from happened to work near where I live, so he kindly delivered it to me in person.

Picked up a courio cabinet to finally display my toys!

Invalid attachments.

Yep. Seems like attachments never work on this board.

[Guntz]

They sometimes work, it's very inconsistent. If it were possible, a note should be left somewhere (like next to the attachment option) that images should be uploaded to an external photo sharing site instead.
