Figured it would be nice to see everyone’s systems and game/accessory collections. I’m quite curious to see how many of the VBs on these forums are in good condition, and how many Blockbuster, retail display, japanese, etc kits there are among us.

Regrettably I sold the VB in my avatar many years ago after I first joined. I think I sold it to then fund the purchase of a new phat DS. Bad move.

I’ve just gotten back into the VB scene after missing it so much. I just purchased a Japanese console in mint condition, boxed. Can’t wait to share with everyone. I also bought a secondary head unit only because I thought I was going to be buying a VB set that had a defective head unit (I got out of that deal). I think I’ll be taking the spare apart and using it as parts for my Japanese model. Maybe have the ribbon cables soldered for when the Japanese model’s go bad.

So I’ll be posting my pictures soon. I have quite a few games already, which I’ll show when I get the console pics up.

But everyone else can start ahead of me. Let’s see those VBs!

Here is what came in the mail today.

An UncleTusk Dragon Hopper box, cool! Too bad the ESRB icon on it is placed in violation of guidelines. 😛

That’s pretty cool, how much did you pay for all of them? I assume you know that some of them are reproductions?

Too much. And yeah, I’m aware of the history. Very impressed with what has happened since I was last here.

Yeah it goes off the edge slightly. Also a spelling mistake on the back. Still cool to have though. We’ll be prepared for when (yes, when) it gets found =P

I’d sell those extra copies of Space Invaders and SD Gundam if I were you, then you could afford to get Virtual Bowling.

Maybe someone is willing to trade them both for a nice copy of Bowling. 🙂 Unfortunately Bowling doesn’t pop up on any auction sites… Nearly impossible to find one.
Anyone who knows how many copies of that game exists?

I am rather confident that there is no known reliable source that gives the number of copies of Virtual Bowling in existence.

On average, a copy of Virtual Bowling will appear online for sale once or twice a year, though.

Holy cow! Your set-up looks great!!
But, what on earth are those other two Gundam games?! :O
I don’t think I’ve ever seen those in my life.

SD Gundam War, it was a japanese release.

What I’m more interested in that strange looking Hyper Fighting cart with the plain looking label. What is it?

Well, if you notice, Quaze (the lucky son of a ****!) has FOUR Gundam games. One is the original Japanese release. Another is UncleTusk’s original 2013-2014 English release. The last two are copies of my release of the English game, which is functionally identical, but has different packaging and artwork. I sent those out about a week ago or so, but there’s been a lot of interest in a second run.

Great collection! You got even the Virtual Fall cart, always wanted to get one of those!

Bigmak sold him a set of repo carts a while ago: http://www.planetvb.com/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?post_id=35075#forumpost35075

Yessir, luckiest snag of my gaming life and huge thanks to Bigmak for his help in building my collection. Without his help (and of course the help of a handful of others) I’d still be trying to figure out the best way to store my bare carts without damaging them lol.

Good morning!!

Do you happen to own a homebrew link cable, for 2-player Hyper Fighting?

How do you know if your girlfriend is a keeper?

You know when, for your birthday, she surprises you with this!

That is too cool. Yup, definitely a keeper!

The thing that impressed me even more is that she has never seen my Virtual Boy collection, and yet she actually managed to get me a Virtual Boy item that I didn’t already own!
