    Well since he said he wanted to own the game, this might help:

    http://cgi.ebay.com/Snatcher-Sega-CD...QQcmdZViewItem

    Yep, it's pricey. =)

    The Sega/Mega CD version is the only version with Simon/Drac in the club scene, the others have terminator/guyver/sci-fi etc characters. They changed those for localization due to fear of copyright issues I believe.

    I got the Mega CD version myself, around the same price and it comes in a normal size CD jewel case (those tallboys are more prone to cracking)

    Has anyone else played the new Castlevania: Order of Shadows on...God help us... The Mobile platform?

    It sucks.

    I'd love to. I really like sucky cell games, believe it or not.

    Too bad it's not available in the finn and the land.

    Oh well,once I get to the states.

    Oh btw, it seems that fate has again decided to fuck with me.

    The CV whip is up for grabs on evilbay and of course there's NO INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING.

    It's one of those items i'd give my leg for.

    I'm serious:

    Fake eBay one:

    Real one:


    It's missing the metal caps and it has a triple red end, while the Konami one has just one, and I doubt they made a variant!

    In Luxie we trust! He always catches the little details on items.

    I think I'll ask you anytime something looks suspicious Lux.

    Well these are the proofs I can provide, but I might be wrong, who knows. Still looks quite suspicious to me...

    Well yeah. I was curious about that triple end because I didn't remember it having one.

    Was too lazy to check but thankfully LuxieLux did it for me. Oh well I wouldn't have been able to bid on it anyway.

    OK stupid question time, is the whip that valuable that faking one would be worth the time and effort?

    I don't think the whip has any real value. It's just a bit rare nowadays since you can't order them from konami anymore. People fake anything to make a buck really.

    I just want it because I really like whips :B.

    Well, something doesn't have to be valuable in order to get some attention by pirates. Harmony and Aria cartridges aren't worth more than a couple of bucks but there are tons of pirates of them out there.

    The seller seems like a nice guy though and probably has no idea it's a fake. And remember, this is just my opinion, I might as well be totally wrong. But then again, it's a different whip.

    Lux, whats the scoop on these? I see them all the time, but I always suspect them. Are they legit? They don't seem to be the same as the reversible Japanese promo posters, as it has the US/PAL COD logo on it.

    That fake poster literally invaded eBay, eBay stores and many other online stores. The quality is pretty low (check the details and the white Curse of Darkness logo, instead of the gold legit logo). I have no idea how they thought they would get us with such a crappy fake... the logo is even on the wrong side.

    Here's the fake one (better picture than the stock one from you link, by the way the Chronicles poster is also a fake one):



    And here's the legit U.K. poster (I'm sure you have it too but just for precision's sake):

    Excellent, thanks Lux!

    Another poster question, in that same photo you can see those POR PAL posters that are/were all over Evilbay.

    I bought one super cheap a while back, but I always suspected it a little bit because it was on thin cardstock and not the usual poster materials. I know it has all the logos, but it might be from the original PSD printed on other paper.

    Is that one a fake too, or just an oddball legit?

    Let me guess, you bought it from gamesfocus on ebay.co.uk?



    It's a real one as far as I know. I've seen the same in Germany in a store where they got it from Konami for advertising, and it looked the same (same material and same picture with logos and everything). If it's still new it should feel and smell particular, you have more posters than me you should teach me!

    I have one of those not legit CoD posters.

    I wanted one because it looked cool :B. It has a death note poster on the other side so I can always switch to animu/sell it if I want to.

    Now I only buy legit posters though. I weep for the yahoo japan products.

    Oh, And Arasoi, I got the dvd, and I watched it so I'm all set on buying some tools and materials for the sculpture. It is going to be shatter resistant polymer clay unlike I said though, I never knew super sculpey was shatter resistant. It may take me a few weeks to hunt the tools and materials down/make my own. Get me back on what size you want it to be (the actual kid drac) and I can go and make some drawings and prints for sizing and evaluate the price.

    Hey fellow collectors, I found some odd variants on existing japanese game guides for Akumajo Dracula and Dracula 2 FDS:

    http://www.pixnet.net/album/oqoq/1792035

    http://www.pixnet.net/album/oqoq/1792070

    Not to mention there are full scans. They seem the same as the ones I have, but different covers..

    Also - check out the Japanese Bayou Billy (Mad City) guide!
