Today is like Christmas for me. My first box of stuff I sent back from Japan arrived today. I sent 7 large boxes back via Sea Mail and this is the first one I sent. Some of the stuff is kind of junk because I hadn't figured out how easy it was going to be to find better stuff. All the games cost $.50-$3 each. I think the Sega Saturn was $15.

Awesome. I love the Famicom stuff. Castlevania, Mario, Zelda, Dragon Quest, TwinBee, very cool. :)

[video_game_addict]

So what does that lot of carts fit in the one misc photo?

And do you want to sell the Spacewarp? :-P

[Qixmaster]

Those are some sweet movie programs y-bot! Did you go with Billy Galaxy?

Are you going to bring any of this stuff to the "swap" meet in seattle?

Ssssh don't tell anyone about the Harajuku flea markets. I got almost everything from flea markets and a toy shows. I went to Akihabara for one afternoon. I got a bunch of cheap stuff from a showcase shop. The only thing I remember buying froma a game store was a boxed Bandai Intellivision. The store looked like it had been selling games for 20+ years. Around the top of the store were cases of game & watches (maybe empty boxes or something else in them now. The Intellivision was kind of hidden up on the top shelf and the lady had to call someone to get a price. It was $30 since they hadn't tested it. Some other things I remember getting are:

boxed Duo-R $40
2 boxed CoreGrafx $30 & $15 (missing cable)
2 Twin Famicom $10 & $30 or $40
boxed Famicom & boxed Disk System
Dreamcast Maracas $5
Playstation Dracula X
PC Engine Snatcher
Famicom SMB USA
around 200 Famicom, Super Famicom, Saturn, Dreamcast, Playstation, PC Engine, Mega Drive, SG-1000, MSX, Cassette Vision, Super Cassette Vision games
tons of stuff I can't remember. I spent about $500 on shipping.

They are for Epoch Super Cassette Vision. I got them at a flea market for $2 each. The only others I found on my trip were $25-$75 each. They are hard to find and in demand in Japan. They are actually one of the few things I found for my collection. I only collect 70's-mid 80's stuff so I will be selling almost everything I bought. Hopefully I can pay for a big chunk of my trip. I bought the SPacewarp to sell but I haven't checked to see what they are going for. It's new and they cost $40 in Japan. I'll get back to you when I figure out how much I need to get for it. I have an old partial set if you interested.

Hi Josh, yes I went with Billy Galaxy. It was so much fun. We were on a TV show, went to a small party that the 5,6,7,8's (the band from Kill Bill) played at and I met an awesome girl there. I can't wait to go back. Those movie programs are all over the place. I think they were about $2 each. I hope I get more boxes before the Seattle swap meet. I will bring what I can. There may be 4 people in my car which will cut down the amount of stuff I can bring. If you see anything you want let me know. I am keeping most of the Super Cassette Vision stuff and some of the Famicom & Disk System stuff.

Someone fill me in on what that Spacewarp is ?
Nice finds again .. $500 on shipping, how much on cost of items ? =)

[y-bot]

Bandai Spacewarp is a roller coaster building set from the mid-late 80's. Hundreds of tiny pieces go together to make a roller coaster that a ball bearing rolls on. I used to see them at thrift stores quite a bit years ago but since I found out they are valuable I have only found a few. The small sets sell for $20-$50 and the large sets sell for $50-$100+. I saw one sell for over $500 once a few years ago. Bandai just released the Spacewarp 5000 this year. I think it is exactly the same as the old one. I picked one up because I thought it might do well on ebay since I don't think they are selling them in the U.S. I probably spent $1500-$2000 on junk in Japan. I was lucky to have a free place to stay so my only other expenses were a plane ticket, food & the train.

Very, very nice! Btw, where did you stay at and for how long?? Pretty lucky for having a "free" stay over there. Anyways, nice prices! A saturn for $15 is dirt cheap and thatt twinbee cart... Ahh the twinbee cart... It brings a lot of memories back... I got a cart of the game in my apartment abroad.. Definately miss it lol

[Trevor Belmont]

:hail:

Such awesome finds ... makes me want to go to Japan even more now. Especially with those movie programs ... the Mad Max and Warriors ones are especially great. And a boxed Turbo Duo-R for $40? I'm so jealous over here!

Great job y-bot.

Hi, I stayed in Nakano in central Tokyo for 2 weeks.

[kainemaxwell]

Welcome back and impressive buys!

[tholly]

awesome finds.....thanks for sharing pics of what you got

[drummy]

What is that Japanese Gameboy Color game, the one below the Ren & Stimpy game?

[y-bot]

What is that Japanese Gameboy Color game, the one below the Ren & Stimpy game?

The only english says "Sakura Wars". I did a Google search and came up with this name:

Sakura Wars GB Geki - Hanagumi Nyuutai!

I think it is an RPG.

[ubersaurus]

I don't even want to think about how much some of that stuff cost...I saw a lot of famicom games running for 1000 yen or more when I was there.

Saturn for 1500 yen though, that's about right.

[y-bot]

I don't think I paid more than 300 yen for any of the video game stuff besides the Saturn. I could have bought at least 100 different Famicom games for under 300 yen each. I quit looking at them after a few days unless they were 100 yen or less. I saw lots of expensive Famicom games at Mandarake and in Akihabara shops but they were dirt cheap at flea markets. Disk System games were kind of hard to find though.

[y-bot]

I received my second box today and I added more pics in the first post.

[Cauterize]

wow awesome mate!

Just looking... 1000 yen for a NGPC!!! thats like £5, if that really!

Also that JPN Biohazard looks awesome! I want it :P

[NESaholic]

Great stuff you bought dude, good idea to send it to your home instead of taking it all with you,enjoy it to the max!

[poloplayr]

AWESOME STUF!!!! Thanks a million for taking the photos and sharing. I REALLY need to go to Japan soon.

[Graham Mitchell]

PC Engine Snatcher! I'm jealous.

[Fuyukaze]

this looks so good, its torture. I wish you were selling some of it, I realy do.

[loporjai2003]

Keeping posting pics .. makes we want to go back and flea some more ! All I got was a suitcase full, go with one, come back with two .. nothing like .. 7 boxes !

[y-bot]

I got another load today and posted some more pics.

@Fuyukaze-90% of this stuff will be for sale here, on ebay or at CGE.

y-bot

[Link_Chrono]

Wow... A Sattelaview. Any chance you'd take it out of the box to take pictures, or are you gonna just leave it in the box and sell it? I'd love to see some pics of one.

[y-bot]

@Link_Chrono-here are some pics:

I messed up and didn't buy any of the boxed Super Famicom systems I saw when I first got there. After I saw what they were going for on Ebay I started looking for them but never found another cheap one.

y-bot

[y-bot]

Today my last box finally arrived. I have spent the last several days sorting and testing stuff out. I'm bringing a bunch of stuff to the swap meeting in Seattle on Saturday. After that I will probably put lots of stuff on ebay.

[Cauterize]

thats it!
im moving to Japan!
The Duo-R has sealed my fate!

unfuckinbelieveable!

one question, how long were you there for?

[y-bot]

I was in Tokyo for a little over two weeks. I got the Duo-R at a toy show for $40.
