vice350z Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Been looking for a clean Genesis box for years now since I never picked up the 2 that were sitting in my dad's shed for years that he threw out after spring cleaning in his shed. Most of the ones on eBay look like junk or people asking too much for decent boxes. Guy I buy plastic box protectors from has a nice one he uses to display his protector on his website. Figured I'd ask him if he was willing to sell expecting to just hear "sorry, no" but he replied back telling me he has no room for it and would gladly sell it to me for the price he paid! I couldn't pass that up! All my years of looking for a decent box was finally over. Box looks great. Styro looks great and even has the top cover. All the plastic bags there. All the literature I think is there...manual and some card. Not sure if a poster came with it or not back in the day when I got it on release day on August 14, 1989. Just thought I'd share my exciting find. I'm a nerd and like to collect my fav consoles but only if the boxes area nice. Any other nerd collectors like me? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitsunebi Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 I am not a collector at all anymore. Moving to another country with just a suitcase full of clothes put an end to my desire to own all the things, and ever since then, I've gone completely digital in regards to games, comics, books, mags, tv, movies, and all the other crap I used to collect. And it's WONDERFUL. No more clutter. That said, I can still admire your find. That's a pretty beautiful thing, right there, and I don't even have any affinity towards anything Sega aside from the Dreamcast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twiztor Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 dang man, that's in great condition! good find!! i collect games, currently working on a complete Sega 32x set. i love the weird stuff that gets little/no love. don't really care about cardboard boxes, to me they don't add anything but just take up space.

RetroDefense Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Very nice! I still have my Genesis box tucked away, along with many others. The collector bug, y'know. Coax adapter ftw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vice350z Posted August 20, 2020 Author Share Posted August 20, 2020 Still need to find a Sega CD Model 2 as clean as my Genesis box...but I'm finding it hard to find something "mint" without costing a fortune. Also, I may never have a CDX in my collection. Not paying those ridiculous prices that are 2K and over and the boxes are not super minty.

Mossheart Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 I love collecting everything retro. I collect for quantity and I have a friend who collects for quality. I have a lot of respect for you 'quality collectors', that's a serious commitment! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechayakuza Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 If I had a lot of free time, money, and space, I'd love to collect like this. For now, I have to settle for Mini/Classic consoles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought that would drop in price quickly like the PS and Genesis minis but nope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no business being there but I like to see the super high priced items and what the rich folks own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mossheart Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 What is the name of the Facebook group? I would totally check them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twiztor Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 Every time i see this topic trending, all i can think about is that sweet, sweet Megatron Sega Genesis that someone posted here a couple years ago. https://www.amazon.com/Takara-Tomy-Megatron-Transformers-Action/dp/B00KXQKVIW they also made a pretty cool Optimus Prime/Playstation, but this one is way better. I'm just lucky they never made one with an NES or N64 or i would have had to buy a couple of those! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
