Looks like my first topic since I left on vacation about a month or so ago came at a good time, as it fits right into import madness.
I recently got a box from Japan (among other things) with the Cyberbots Limited Edition package (I think that the plastic wrap I tore off was the original packing...strange since it was held on by tape. In any case, I kept it. Can anybody confirm this, or can I throw it away?) The game comes with a hillarious book, and a "secret file" that's like those popout books from a few years back, with some battle scene or other. The main robot showcased here looks just like Akuma (Evil spirit, he's a Capcom fighter) and in fact the main book has a scene in one of the assorted comics throughout with him attacking his larger robot version.
Sengoku TURB was a different matter. Here's what I submitted to the GameTZ in my entry, word for word:
"You might need Japanese IME to see this text correctly.
The game's name comes out to "Sengoku TURB."
I have a sealed clear CD jewel case; no insert, nothing in the spine, so all this information comes from what I see printed on the CD itself. It apparently was published by NEC. My game cames with the marking "610-7103" in place of the catalog numbers I see on various Japanese resource pages; references are not likely easily found as it seems to be a special demo. It has a plain text "イ本験版" (as opposed to the stylized logo of the game) under the title which comes out in Babelfish to "Main 験 edition of イ" ...
Here are a few good sites concerning this game series:

(List of apparently all the games)

(Dreamcast version)
http://www.holorer.jp/Arch/Media/stb.html
(Worth a look as well)"
I also got a few other games in there. I recall buying Capcom Generation 2, but since I got a bunch of Not for sale games including Eternal Arcadia and Marvel vs. Capcom 2, I'm happy enough (for the time being, until I find out they're using the things as cheap roofing in Japan).
