    Default Possibly the best ever find!

    Today while at my local market i stumbled across what could be considered my best ever find. Today i started and completed my odyssey collection bar one game I picked up the following

    Boxed Magnavox Odyssey
    Boxed Shooting Gallery
    Boxed Baseball
    Boxed Basketball
    Boxed Brainwave
    Boxed Funzoo
    Boxed Handball
    Boxed Interplanetary Voyage
    Boxed Invasion
    Boxed Volleyball
    Boxed Win
    Boxed Wipeout

    All overlays, cards, counters, dice etc. I saw on a magnavox odyssey site that only 3 sets of the Basketball, Interplanetary Voyage, WIN, and Brainwave are known to exist. Well make that four now.

    To top this off all the games appear mint and totally complete. The even more funny thing is this system was never released in the country i live in

    Yeah its been a good day

    EDIT: I just found out i have the nr 12 game card, only 2 known to exist!

    Ok well here are some quick pics. The boxes are not as nice as i thought, but everything inside them is mint, infact mostof the games have not been used and the inserts or little tokens have not evenbeen opened









    This last one has the picture of the NR 12 board, aswell as some flyers, one of which is a chinese version, something i couldnt find any details about :O

    And somewhere in the middle of Arkansas, PDF is quietly making travel arrangements to New Zealand.

    Those pics bring back memories...wish my folks didn't throw ours out.

    Me too.

    (I mean I wish my folks hadn't thrown ours out...welll...I wish your folks hadn't thrown yours out too...you get my meaning.)

    I think every time people crab that all the good stuff has dissapeared from "the wild" this find should be displayed as a stunning example of the fact that, yeah, you can find stuff in the wild still, you just got to have a bit of luck.

    Very nice find, enjoy that!
