Sakigake Otokojuku ps3 fighting game... was a fan of the old tv anime. Had an art style similar to Hokuto no Ken.

I didn't! I got lucky and found a better deal online, actually. It took me half a year of looking, maybe longer, but I eventually snagged one for a good price. So I imagine the one at VGNY is still there.

Yeah someone did snatch that.

There is a TG16 and CD add on there currently though.

I go to the city like once or twice a month or so, I'm a 45 minute train ride away from NYPenn.

A few nice games there.
I wanted a Famicom version of Super Sprint (I don't know, I guess I just prefer "licensed" variants more), but that seems to go for quite a bit more than the NES version (so I just stuck with getting a cheap Tengen cart). (did Altron do limited releases or something? Looks like Paperboy and Tom & Jerry also sell, or at least list, for a lot more than their western counterparts. I remember a few years ago I tried to bid on a CIB Paperboy. I probably bid something like $10-20 but it went over $40 as I recall. And I think that was just as Famicom CIB collecting was just starting to take off.)

[Dire 51]

I wish I knew why Altron games were so much more expensive. Granted, I didn't pay near as much as I could have for my copies of Paperboy and Super Sprint, because they're loose, but I've seen the prices they go for, and it puzzles me. It reminds me of how Guevara is so much more expensive than Guerrilla War, for some as-yet-unexplained reason.

Probably because of the censorship in Guerilla War (even if it's only the plot, which shouldn't matter much for a shooter anyways).
I guess people want to "officially" play as Guevarra/Castro and not whatever SNK called the guys in GW.

[Darkwing]

Just got The Lucky Dime Caper and Batman Returns for the SMS. Also got the PAL version of Castle of Illusion....it was so much cheaper than the NTSC version, and it's the same game!

Quite possibly. I just wanted to get the Fami version, like I did with most SNK games.

[Tanooki]

I never really post much in here, throughout this year I've looked overseas on both directions picking up stuff. At first it was Famicom things which I remember posting awhile back. I then found that GBA wasn't being wrecked like the Nintendo home cart based stuff so I got back into it. Wanting to do something different I started to snap up new games and looked to the UK and Japan.

For GBA I've picked up a CIB copy of (UK) Pinball Advance which is a fantastic set of three tables. The most recent of all is the (JP) CIB release of Steel Empire which is just a really fantastic shooter. I also snapped up a CIB copy of Hudson Best Collection Vol1 Bomberman (has 1 and 2 from NES.) I also got one of the 300 produced games of Qwak! for GBA, an unlicensed release by Team17/original staff coder of the game which was born on Amiga and I did a lucky trade on that one, paid but on good deal prices on the other two.

As far as Famicom goes, I got Akumajyou Densetsu(CV3) yesterday in the mail and that's fun to play just for the differences and not just the obviously superior music.

[Tron 2.0]

For unknown reason the price for the u.s version has really shot up in price !? So i bought the md version cib instead.

Too lazy to post pics, but I got loose copies of the following SFC games, all for about $20 total:

-Final Fantasy IV
-Final Fantasy V
-Final Fantasy VI
-Metal Max Returns
-Wonder Project J

I know you may think this to be unexciting as they're all RPGs, but I use my Retrode to dump and then patch them with the translations/re-translations that exist.

[Lord Contaminous]

Just the game. Since I haven't posted in a hot minute, I just like taking pics of my pickups with their respective consoles.

Well, I picked this up at MAGFest.

I was told it was a good game. Picked it up. Then the friend who told me it was good laughed and told me he was only joking. Well, I'll give it a shot anyway, when my backlog clears up.

And I picked this up a short time ago

I'm just a die hard fan of the series, so I figured it was worth the small amount of money it was going for.

Currently waiting on Sokko Seitokai: Sonic Council (Saturn) and KOFXI (Atomiswave) to get here from Japan. They're taking longer than they said they would...

[FUZZY PICKLES!!!]

I imported F-zero X late February from Japan (mainly because it was a few dollars cheaper plus it's still English friendly). The month before I bought Bomberman 64 (Japan) CIB for around $95.

[Tron 2.0]

Dunno the price for a u.s gaiares has really jumped so i imported the japanese version instead.

Was Sunsoft the only licensed third-party MD publisher to make custom-shaped carts? (Namco made their own carts but they were the same shape as Sega's, just with their own logo molded into the back)

Seems that way,my genesis slot is widen for imports but super fanasy zone wouldn't fit at all.I also have the md version of splatterhouse 3 and the game fit's fine into the slot.

[Tanooki]

Huh never noticed this thread before. I would have done this earlier.

In early July I ordered from Yamatoku classic both a CIB copy of SD Lupin the Third http://www.ebay.com/itm/331597605104 and Tekkaman Blade(cart only) http://www.ebay.com/itm/331596945933 for Gameboy. Before that in late April from ryoplanshop (love these guys, they gave me free green tea with the order) I picked up something I had wanted off and on since I learned about it over a decade ago Samurai Spirits Zankurou Musouken (Samurai Shodown/Spirits 3) for the Gameboy which is stunningly accurate given the format.

Also back on April 24th right when I got SS3, I did my first purchases from Gamegavel and snapped up both King of Fighters 96 and also Super Dodgeball. Never owned the first, had the second before (had Lupin and Tekkaman too years ago with it.) Both these games from GG were also loose and they came from an American in Japan running Japan Retro Direct on there.

Outside of that I've got a few things on Gamecube and around 15~ Famicom games too but they weren't bought this year so it's a bit dated. If you're curious, follow the address in my signature as they're good stuff.

[otaku]

man I haven't imported for awhile! Love seeing all the nintendo stuff but especially the saturn stuff and other sega stuff. Never got into pc engine. Curious where have you guys all been getting the imports lately?

[StealthLurker]

Tend to get quite a bit of stuff on a regular basis, but this one is one of the more interesting stand outs

The big 21" version shipped from Japan. Via a separate auction got the controllers for it. Displays the SFC games via internal RGB.

Geez the price on that TV must have been steep, yet I fear what shipping something that heavy added to that. You really don't see those come along often. People will talk up the sharp NES tv, but the SFC one ...that's the real rarity.

The shipping definitely was no slouch that's for sure. Also the risk in shipping is a big factor too. Finding these in a US based collection is sorta rare, but mainly due to shipping and risk. In Japan these are about on par in rarity as US Sharp NES TV units.

However, the Japanese Sharp Famicom TV is very rare even in Japan. Much, much more rare than the US Sharp NES TV units. I've actually got one of those too (pictured below), also with the very rare Sharp controllers (via separate auction too). Note the Famicom TV is displaying the internal Famicom game in RGB too like the SF-1 (notice the RGB palette by yellow background). Not sure about the US Sharp NES TVs though?

Now the rarest of the TV combo units... the PC-Engine monitor combo unit (PC-KD863G) is very, very rare even in Japan. Though I managed to recently win one complete with box! Should be coming in down the road...

That's insane you have all that, especially that Sharp Famicom and the incomng PCE TV (never heard of that one.)

The Sharp did have a differing color than your standard TV output for colors. I got rid of mine or I'd fire it up and check it again. I just saw no point in it wasting space when I didn't have a real good way to safely use it with regularity. The funds from it was a big chunk into the high end laptop I'm on right now and I don't regret it. :) I can't fix stuff like that and that TV was while in excellent shape starting to sound its age with some mono loving buzzing from that speaker that drove me nuts.

Well it's kind of the fulfillment of those "never in a million years" wants from childhood. You'll see something amazingly unique, hard to get or flat out expensive in a magazine and think how wonderful, but you'll never own it. One of the realizations you get with adulthood and a career type job. Now you can finally get it if you cared and put some work into it haha. I recall seeing the Pioneer Laseractive in the old 90s EGMs and drooling. Such a niche and extravagant way to play Genesis games, but oh so cool!

I also remember seeing the Super Famicom TV in a shop during a visit to Japan in the 90s and thinking how mind boggling amazing (and out of reach it was). It was hard enough to get my parents to buy a SNES :) Another vivid memory I had was visiting a Japanese arcade for the first time in Osaka (early 90s again) and swearing to myself one day I would own one (got about 10 now haha).

Yeah I actually only found out about the PCE Monitor in the 2000s. Saw a scanned flyer of it on the internet and thinking what the hell?! It's been a long time hunting for one. In the past few months however, 2 have appeared on Japanese auction sites. I lost on the first one (went for a very high amount), but the second one that appeared I was able to get for less than half of what the first one went for. A trend I usually see on these Japan auction sites. The ones that pop up first tend to go for the highest amount, then the winning bids seem to diminish from there. Something I'm usually on the losing end for (winning the early listed items), but every now and then an item will break that trend and actually go up a-la eBay.

[FieryReign]

Never imported until recently with Sumioni on Vita. Looks like an interesting action platformer with a unique art style. It's on PSN but I prefer those tiny cards over a download.

[Tanooki]

Stealth--Trust me when I say I get it. Remember I too had a very damn near immaculate Sharp NES TV right down to the 2 controllers and remote all intact. I loved screwing with that at places like Sears/Wards back in the day when my parents were shopping (mom likes to make a 30min thing take 3 hours) so I'd find that and play. I had the opportunity around 5 years back to score that with 7 games and a zapper for $200. I got good use out of it for a few years, but then it went into dust collection once I had the kid as she made it impossible for me to really get time on it. I've still got others, maybe not electronic, but I always also since 1991 wanted that store hanging display of Mario riding Yoshi for the SNES, got that cheap a bit before the TV, still have it hanging here and don't plan to resell it. If I ever lost that much interest I'd let her hang it in her room. :P

I still have a taste of that though with my acquisition this year -- Pin-Bot the full size pinball machine. Loved it as a kid along with Black Knight and Space Shuttle, my favorites of the pre-DMD (video mode panel) era stuff. I found a badly listed one locally, jumped at it, found it was fully function and home used only and ditched some expensive dust collecting old NES/SNES titles and it was mine. :D Everyone here likes to use it, and it like the ad piece, stays. If I had to remove something I'd ditch the quite rare gold ball machine I have instead. Always wanted a real pinball machine since the 80s but no space, room, or parents that tolerant or that generous either. :P




Anyway on subject as this is an IMPORT thread. I'm the proud new 'in-transit' at least owner of ALIEN HOMINID for the GBA, an EU only release. Scored it for $20 shipped, which is $10 off the usual so I'm pleased.

I'm hoping shortly to finally wrangle up one of the Konami GB Collection games from there too, really need to get all four of them back though. :( Not sure what it is maybe nerves, maybe ebay doing global shipping ripoffs on US buyers now, but paying $20 to ship a 3 ounce $10 game is not happening on principle alone.

[SparTonberry]

It's hard to tell from the image, that PCE-TV included the CD drive, especially at that price, right? :)
