    Default Signs from Electronics Boutique (and other stores)

    I got lucky with these since I know a handful of the people at the one near me, but I have a Sega Dreamcast sign and Super Nintendo sign, the type that went over the racks that held the games. Unfortunately, no camera. Does anybody else have any of these? Your best bet is to just ask them around the time a new system comes out, they usually head for the dumpster and the employees don't exactly like carrying these gargantuan things.



    Too lazy to probably ever finish up my older games, but collection funtime.

    I have a Playstation sign hanging in my game room. I got it off another board member for only $15 and it's in great condition.

    I will not rest until I have the Xbox Live sign that lights up though.

    I've got heavy duty DC, PSX signs just about 6" long, and GB, Genesis, SNES and N64 signs about 4ft long. Got them from an old Game Stop. All with their logos and special fonts. They look really nice.

    I would like to put them up on my wall, sadly there is no place to hang them

    I've also got a PS2 Neon Sign thats up. Pretty blue

    I got a light-up PlayStation marquee and a light-up N64 marquee with a GameCube slide. The KB Toys where I used to work was going to throw them out. Currently, they're being stored in my grandmother's shed...
    Currently catching up on PSN, WiiWare, Wii U E-Shop and Xbox Live Arcade exclusives I missed.

    I've got those neat foam-esque signs that Funcoland used to hang above the sections on their walls. The Nintendo one hangs proudly in the corner, but the SNES, Genny, Saturn, N64, and Playstation ones are stashed away. My old manager recently gave me a cool 3 foot long plastic Playstation sign that has feet so it can stand up on it's own.

    I also got a light up Xbox Live neon from work. It's a shame that it doesn't light up anymore, only the edges of the first few letters light up, as if it no longer has the neon gas inside. Is it possible to get these neon lights refilled? It looks badass when lit. Lights up the whole room on it's own.

    I wouuld LOVE to have a neon sign that said "Nintendo". Or any sign that says Nintendo. I remember when I got into a bidding war for a "World of Nintendo" sign from the 80's. I was so freaking bummed I missed that. The jerk turned out to be an infamous sniper who gets off on this stuff.. HOPE YOU ENJOY MY SIGN, MOTHER FATHER!





    So now it is my goal to get something Nintendo related.

    Well I don't necessarily have one of those, though I would liek to get one. I have a vinyl banner from around the launch time of the gc, has oo7, stuff from sonic etc, its pretty cool.
