Finds (Famicom/FDS)

[Ryo]

If you only played the best ones, absolutely.  Micro SD cards are cheap though so you can always replace it with a bigger one later if you needed.

[UPDATE]
Got a nice find this weekend.  I'd asked my lady to bring back something from Hong Kong.  She guessed it was games and asked what type so I just said 'famicom games', which came as no surprise.

This is what she brought back:


I was pretty amazed, I was expecting a couple of pirate games!  What a gift.

As well as that, NintendoDork sorted me out with this awesome little score as well:




It was a San Diego Comic Con exclusive, I've been playing a lot of Castlevania lately so decided to pick it up as it looked pretty unique.  

There are 1000 of these.
Thanks Dork!!

Very nice Hongkong famicom.

Oh I never even thought of that... in that case, it would have been cool if they chose the stage to match the number of set the figure is in. 

[UglyJoe]

Each "level" in Castlevania is broken down into various "stages".  So, when you're fighting the bat at the end of level 1, you are actually in stage 3.  (http://strategywiki.org/wiki/Castlevania/Stages_1_-_3).

Hmmm, it does always say stage 1 at the point though, however you want to dissect the level structure.

OK NO IT DOESN'T!  Sorry Joe!

Can't believe I didn't even notice that until today, and I've been playing Castlevania for many years.

Happened upon one of the rarest famicom prize carts in a certain ebay sellers lot!!!!!! You will all cry if you knew how much I paid......normally they sell for about $1-2000 in beat up condition.




Exed Exes Silver Members Cart! less than 2000 were sent out and only a handful are known to collectors today!



I paid $30 for it

What about the Gold members Exed Exes is that worth even more?

What about the Gold members Exed Exes is that worth even more?

Of Course it is.

Junkin - only 10 handed out, Ive only seen a picture of one online

Platinum Members- only 100 originally handed out. Ive only seen 2 online

Gold Members - only 500 originally handed out. I can only confirm 5

Silver Members Approx 2000 handed out but its more likely between 1500-1800. only  15 confirmed between YJA, Ebay, and private collectors.


Im sure theres more out there but they have just never left the original owners hands or people may not know what they have got. Exed Exes wasnt very popular so Im sure quite a few ended up in the garbage as well.

There were 2000 silver ones, 500 gold, 100 platinum, and 10 "junkin."  So yeah it's rare, but I have never seen it for anywhere near a thousand or two thousand bucks.



Pictures of Lot Lot and Exed Exes special carts.

The only copy Ive ever seen for sale on ebay went for $1300 and change. Im sure in Japan its not as much.


The Lot Lot Members Stickers are certainly tougher to come by than the Exed Exes ones...

Do you know of any shops in Japan with any Members stickers carts for sale (either Exed Exes or Lot Lot)??

[lobdale]

Super Potato often puts things up just to show off at totally unreasonable prices.  I don't recall having seen one on Yahoo lately, but then I haven't exactly been looking.

[80sFREAK]

Whats the difference apart from fancy sticker?

[manuel]

I haven't read about it, but my guess is the game is the same.

That's one of Yamatoku's lots.  I also got a good find for pretty cheap from him recently.

[famifan]

cheap and in bad condition 

i always wonder if yamatoku is taking most of his stuff from the bottom of rubbish bin. And who is buying that.

even it's rare but definitely looks like junk
