    Default What is up with Turbo Direct???

    Browsing through the Turbo Direct homepage i see they sell manuals to turbo games for 3$ each. I tried adding one to my cart, and that doesnt work. Then I tried calling 2 different numbers to ask if they had a Cosmic Fantasy 2 manual i could buy, but no answer.

    Is the Turbo Site dying? or do I have some hope of being able to buy a Cosmic Fantasy 2 manual and a DUO extension cord from them? I haven't bought anything before from the store so I don't know. I have a feeling it would otherwise be difficult to find this manual loose.

    After 10 years of supporting NEC consoles directly they're simply running out of inventory.

    Did you try emailing them? They are usually pretty prompt when it comes to that.

    I tried for several manuals to the more rare / in demand games. No go.

    I think the manuals were just from the common stuff.

    I tried adding to cart and it just says object not found. They don't answer the phone either.

    TZD is selling their stuff on ebay now. They are under the seller RedFrogUSA. They are selling a new dynastic hero and other factory sealed stuff. It seems they have been holding out.

    I thought they were closing up shop and just liquidating whatever they had left? I remember hearing about that some months back. Could probably search out the thread if I weren't so lazy ATM.

    Actually, the old TZD is no more. They sold their remaining stock to RedFrog last month and he has slowly been putting stuff up on Ebay. A lot of people are not happy with RedFrog and have had problems with his service in the past, particularly since it's not one specific seller, but several vendors using the same name with items shipping from various locations. The prices he is charging for turbo stuff are also outrageous compared to what they were going for just a month or two ago when TZD was still around.

    I bought one of their many sealed Exiles from them, not a single complaint.

    I never said they were bad. If you look in the item description, it says they are from TZD.com
