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!

That’s really impressive actually. My spouse bought me a Super Mario related item that I never would have known existed(and he’s no gamer). Made me melt inside 🙂

Yeah, it’s really great when your partner understands your video game hobby, and you don’t have to hide it. Even though my current girlfriend doesn’t play video games at all, I feel like I can talk about them whenever, especially Virtual Boy, and she at least tries to show interest. I couldn’t ever do that with just about everyone else I’ve dated.

I actually got my first Virtual Boy from my wife.

I recently acquired an original Japanese Virtual Boy flyer of the unreleased “Polygo Block” from Yahoo Auctions Japan.

It’s 8.25 inches by 11.75 inches. Just about all the Japanese Virtual Boy flyers in my collection are this size as well.

Good to know. Thanks.

That’s an awesome poster/flyer, Ben! I love how Japan always has to have some kawaii mascot for everything.

Here’s my games so far, view profile for more and descriptions

Great set of carts! Not collecting anything CIB? I thought some of those unlicensed games only came as CIBs??

Did you make those reproductions yourself? If so, cool!

Thanks, only CIB non lincensed games I have is English virtual fishing and and insecticide.

No I didn’t make them but I know a guy 😉
Will not disclose identity unless they choose too

Oh I see, well either way they are still really nice.

Gracius

I love what you have so far, Shwanck!

My humble collection.

Sorry for the bad pic, I tried to spread them out so they can be seen, but it’s tough when you have quite a few. I also have a thing against displaying my boxes vertically haha, I don’t want them to get any more crunched than they already are.

To the left are all the North American boxes I have that I’m proud of because I got them all from Toys R Us when they were clearancing the Virtual Boy. I didn’t take good care of them, but hindsight is 20/20.

In the middle are my Japanese games and on the right are my reproductions.

Not shown are my three virtual boys. Two of which I had the ribbon cables repaired and one which still works perfectly. The treasure chest on top contains most of my games so I can access them more easily. As you can probably tell I’m in need of protectors for the bottoms of some of games.

Okay okay, I decided to stack them because I guess it’s kind of ridiculous to assume that everybody knows what these games are from a sliver of color. Oddly enough I’m missing a Wario box. Waterworld and Jack Brothers are obviously no boxers. I definitely have a complete North American set of loose carts, with multiples.
