I still have a bunch of odds and ends for this thing that I've held onto since 1999 for the day that I actually found one of these. If any of you were Blockbuster employees back in 1999, and you still have any promotional items for this, please let me know.

The Pokemon Snap Stations were all supposed to be donated from Blockbuster to the Children's Miracle Network (which I found out later that they were gutted for the TV and N64). So, any ones that found their way home to shady employees are probably either trashed or kept in a garage or something. Auction says that he can't get it to work, but thanks to the picture of the inside, the only reason it's not working is because it's missing the game cart. SCORE!

Well, both my sister and I were working at a Blockbuster in 99. After Pokemon Statium faded out most Blockbusters in the area threw the stations in the dumpster, where they were gutted. Lucky for me, my sister made good with the store manager and she basically told me one afternoon, "if you want the damned thing, get it out today and its yours, otherwise its going outside by the dumpster." I then called my dad and he drove up with his truck and we loaded it in. I also have a full box of the cards, unused and boxes of the printer paper and carts.

I figured the thing would be worth more then $150ish. Though I really had no plans of selling it anyways. I'll try and get some pics of it tomorrow and all the swag.

Dude, displays like those rock.

I only wish I was smart enough to get 2 displays when I had the chance.

I used to work at toys r us and they threw out the displays for the snes and genesis :( :bad-words: :puppydogeyes: :bawling:

Words can't express how dumb I felt when I showed up for work one day and they were trashed (literally, it looked like somebody and a hammer had their way with them) in a dumpster.

Double posting? Baad boy. ;)

I bought about 1/20th of one of those off eBay once. The printer. Would much prefer the rest of it. Such a cool little item. And that price is a steal if you are able to drive to TN to get it. Damn I'd love that.

I'd LOOOVE to see bigger pictures of the insides. The eBay ones are too small. I wanna see inside this thing up close!
