Does anyone have the old Funcoland price sheets?

[pockketz]

I would love to get my hands on some old Funcoland price sheets. I'm willing to pay for them, or if anybody could make some high quality scans that I could print out. I'm looking for some ones from around '96 so that they have the complete lists of games for NES, SNES, Genesis, Sega CD, etc. I remember they had the popular systems on the sheets but did they have some of the more rare systems too? Like 3D0, Atari Jaguar, Turbografx, Sega 32x? I can't believe I never saved any of these from back in the day.

Funco definitely never sold Turbografx, and I don't ever remember seeing Jaguar on their price sheets either. They did however list Neo Geo for quite a while.

I think I might still have some from around 1998. I'll have to check and see if it's in there with all the other ads I saved.

[pseudonym]

I have a few of them mixed in with some other NES paperwork I think. If I didn't already sell them, you can have them for the cost of shipping. ;)

[Rickstilwell1]

What I had actually planned on doing with all my old ads was to scan them all and throw them away, unless anybody else wants them.

I have November '99 scanned.

Not sure if this helps any but I also remember them having ads for either the Pippin or Pico in there. No FuncoLand I ever went to actually seemed to have either!

No problem at all ill pay it, let me know if you find them. Thanks!

I'll take them off your hands if you still have them, let me know! Thanks!

@SparTonberry - Those scans are great, I appreciate it!!

Anyone know if they had 3D0, 32x or Sega CD in their price sheets?

[spman]

Those prices are so low they make me sick, reseller have cause them to jump 10x that or more over the last decade. These the the true value of the majority of these old titles, not the scalper BIN listing prices on eBay.

[brainerdrainer]

I wish! I've been looking for a Funcoland shirt for a while now. Super hard to find. I have some funcoland cases. I miss Funcoland

Wow. Musha.. $2.99. How times have changed.

[The 1 2 P]

I use to have a bunch of these papers but I think I threw them away some years ago. Unless they are hiding somewhere in storage.

Nailed it. I would've bought 50 Earthbounds at 29.99.

I managed a Funco from around 97 to 2001.

We did have 32X, Sega CD and 3DO, but all were retried from buying/selling at some point.

Oh man, we couldn't keep Pico stuff on the shelf. Sega would ship us crates of NOS games and systems and people would drive for MILES to buy us out the day we got them.

We never had any Pipin stuff in the POS or on the papers from what I recall. Perhaps in some regions, but not NJ.

Yes, I think that was like a middle school project art class project.
It doesn't look much like Link, does it? :D

I also remember making a clay Game Boy (with Wario Land) in elementary school, but I think I lost that long ago. :(

[BlastProcessing402]

When I was cleaning out a lot of old junk a few years ago, I came across a Funco price list from back when they were still called "The Fun Club" in the very early 90's. I'll have to see if I can figure out how to use the scanner function on my all in one printer (half the time I can't get the printer function to work, that's what you get for buying the cheapest one around).

Wow, I had no clue that anyone wanted to buy Pico stuff, even when it was new.

OK, I guess it was the Pico then.

I am literally surprised that anyone wanted one.

I know it didn't make a huge splash at traditional retail but parents with young kids ate that shit up when we got it at Funco. Like I said, we typically sold new old stock direct from Sega.

It had a lot more stuff for toddlers than ANY of the traditional consoles. Filled a need.

True, the Pico's success in Japan was phenomenal compared to here. I think it would have done better here with a bit more of a direct marketing push but Sega may have been pretty stretched thin at that point with the Genesis/Sega CD/32X as well.

[BlastProcessing402]

I got mine scanned in, but apparently the pages were bigger than the scannable area of my scanner, so they're missing part of the pages, sorry, best I could do. The 2nd page has GB and Genesis (can't see the logos at the top as they're part of what the scanner cropped).

If you can't read them, right click on them and select view image (or your browser's equivalent). They're very readable at full size but the board resizes them so they don't mess up the page.

Hagane for 1:99!!

Duck Tales 2 for 7:99

Dear lord...

I wish I would have just ordered every game on that list from 1999.

[Gladiator316]

I remember going there and asking for stadium events and it was like only 35 cents...judging by its cover alone...i said no thanks give me powerblade instead..

[pseudonym]

I wonder how many people actually found a Stadium Events at a Funcoland? I doubt the vast majority of stores ever had one in their inventory at all.

The one in sugarland texas had one, but the label was kinda tearing and at the time I didn't know what the value or what the games' status was ....so I just went with powerblade cause it was a game I used to rent as a kid. I wasn't a collector at the time anyways.

And you know, it was pretty cool hardware to be honest, ahead of its time. I mean, last year people were on waiting lists for Leap Pad 2's across the country. Hardware with an educational slant is huge right now. I know most on here diss things like the V.Smile and whatnot but man, a couple years ago those were serious cash to the right people.

Looking through my archives I have the following guides from Silicon Valley / South Bay Area region (if prices were regional)...

April 1998
June 1998
August 1998
December 1998 - January 1999
January 2000 - February 2000
February 2000 - March 2000
July 2000

April 1998 has a bunch of highlighting and underlining but the other ones are clean and nicely yellowed. Excitebike $6.99 in April 1998. :) I'll get around to scanning them in the next couple weeks as .PDFs. I'm also interested in purchasing any that I don't have listed above as I'd like to frame them as wall art one day. Funcoland was a huge part of my teenage years. Any I purchase will be scanned (with NO WATERMARKING) and provided publicly in .PDF format.

I've been collecting for NES forever, and been discussing it on the WWW for almost as long, Stadium Events has always been shrouded in mystery. Funcoland had a website where you could order games, and they would locate them for you in their inventory. I know one guy who was on the wait list for Stadium Events for several years, and did eventually get one in the mail from them, so I doubt there were too many copies just sitting on shelves.

[Greg2600]

I kept one from 1995 that was mailed to me, but it's only new game prices.

[peeingas]

I still have the last price list they put out (2001?) in very bad shape. It doesn't even list Stadium Events. Even in the late 90s you'd be lucky to find some of these games at a Funcoland. Not many had Menace Beach lying around for 39 cents even then.

[SparTonberry]

I did find one. Must've been around 2002-2003 (definitely after GameStop started slapping price stickers all over the carts/cases. For some reason, I'm remembering July 2001 being around the time they switched.), right around the time someone said the game needed to be redumped (and eventually TheRedEye dropped the cash to get it done).
I was like no way, those people who said it was worth a thousand bucks HAD to be shitting me and I didn't buy it.
When I told my friend I let it go when it was priced at $9, he said he's got something to tease me forever about. (sounds stupid, but I didn't want to risk buying a game I couldn't PLAY, as of course the mat itself comes up even less, and I didn't realize it was the SAME THING as the common Power Pad.
My friend isn't going to let me forget I REEEEEEEALLY should've made an exception to my "not-playable" games rule. And I'm sure a few of you will as well.)
