  1. GoBots seemed so cheesy next to Transformers at the time, yet I liked both shows and even had a couple GoBots toys. Nowadays I know the acting was cheesy on both shows, heh.
  2. I know who weta is... just something about "sting-fine-art-limited-edition-the-master-swordsmith-s-collection" strikes me as "replica" not actual movie prop.
  3. Just judging by the url, it's not the one(s) actually used in the movie. Sorry, not worth this price.
  4. Nintendo Power #1 alone goes for at least that much I thought.
  5. Well, preorders are only good for two weeks after release typically anyway, I think. Also, I think GameStop was created from Software Etc merging with Babbages, so the receipt might still have been valid in the release window, heh.
  6. And that's still only like 2/3 of the official NES library
  7. But Philly, those are some of my favorites. I think the only thing I didn't really like were Three Musketeers candy bars... and non-candy like fruit and stuff we weren't allowed to keep anyway thanks to razorblade scares.
  8. What a terrible month for gaming. Five of those six games were bad enough to be reviewed by AVGN and/or IrateGamer (though I did enjoy Top Gun, I was never able to land either).
  9. Still nothing compared to those who preordered Duke Nukem Forever during the original dev cycle
  10. So... they want people to pay that much extra basically for a logo that advertises another company...
  11. But seriously, I still regret not taking the advice of my brother's old friend who was telling people to invest in Apple back in the 90s when they were barely staying afloat before the iPod.
  12. I bet backwards compatibility on a newer console really hurts sales at the end of the previous console run. I'm surprised they're not just dumping out a 99.99 version, but maybe that will come after the Wii U launch.
  13. Too bad they mispronounced Unicron in that one song
  14. I'm still hunting off and on for a complete-in-box Vectrex Light Pen and the games for that accessory. Last time I saw it, I of course didn't have the money to bid at the time. Much of the time, I only see it being sold along with the console, but I already have two consoles from different countries. http://vectrexmuseum...texlightpen.php There's also a couple relatively more common games I still need for the system, but I haven't had the spare cash to pick them up when I see them. Then there's a number of homebrew carts I haven't really made a priority and will likely never get a hold of. Finally, there's prototypes like Dark Tower and extremely limited releases like the bugfixed Minestorm cart and the promotional Mr. Boston Clean Sweep that are really beyond me ever dreaming of owning... At least I snatched up a decent deal on one of these complete-in-box, along with the compatible games, when I had a chance to early this year: http://vectrexmuseum...x-3D-imager.php
  15. Yeah, mirroring another site can sometimes be helpful to reduce traffic costs at the original site. But to actually go through and cover up watermarks with your own... low down dirty...
  16. I usually go to http://www.replacementdocs.com for game manuals, but I'll check out this other site too. Thanks.
  17. And yet another overvalued piece of Nintendo memorabilia. I'm a fan of the company, but people need to stop thinking they can set such absurd prices for such items. If it really has that much historic value, then donate it to a museum...
  18. Eh, not everyone is gun loving here either, as evidenced by the original gray part of the zapper being replaced with orange in later models to make it look less like a real gun.
  19. E-Day, are you missing the scanning guides completely? I downloaded them a while back and have a copy if you need them.
  20. This reminds me that I've got a pile of GameInformer from the last couple years that I've been meaning to go through for alternate covers to the ones scanned here. I also keep procrastinating on a growing project of scanning the back covers since the cover artwork continues onto them.
  21. If I've ever had anything close to this happen at any GS I've been to, it was never to that extreme. Some of the stores around here even go out of their way to keep the original case/manual/etc intact for used games, but they can't help if the person who trades one in gives them an incomplete copy. Finally, I've only ever had them give me the *best* copy of a disc they had available, without having to even ask. The only thing I'd wish was done was for their electronic inventory to track whether a game was "complete" (case/manual/etc) or not. This could be a simple check box(es) that the employee marks when taking a trade in so that a future buyer who is browsing their local store's inventory online for complete copies knows whether the trip to the store is worth it. As for the militant upselling, almost every corporate run store puts this requirement on their employees, and I've learned to just tune it out. Sure, this guy got a bit overzelaous, but maybe he had just been disciplined for not doing it at all.
  22. I don't know much about the Genesis library (having been a SNES player), but here's a quick search on mobygames: http://www.mobygames.com/browse/games/role-playing-rpg/genesis/
