Quote from: esteban on 05/01/2018, 07:14 PMHoly shit, I forgot about that "Züm Züm" campaign! I didn't remember it was Mazda... thought it was for Subaru Sidekick or something (I'm joking, just to run more salt in the wound).

:)
My Mom has a Mazda 3 and when it turns on the display says "Zoom Zoom." It's adorable.
Haha.

Bullshit!!! The firehouse? Slimmer. You don't throw that stuff out. You question her again!!! I don't care how long it's been. She gave it away to a neighbors kid or a cousin in the family! Keep us posted!

Facebook is fucked, there are only a few things I enjoy, Following Pee Wee Herman and Elvira mistress of the dark and my Canadian cult horror movie group which I really enjoy seeing in my feed with cool cult shit pictures of old movies & memorabilia. Thats the main joy, but I am part of turbo town and turbo repro but I don't get into many convos as your so right it's hard to get into something deep or have some good back and forth when things get buried so fast by the next collection or recent buys getting posted or your old aunt posting some sentimental shit she found on line.

I even have a tg16 spine label page I just added recently but I don't even know how to work it properly. Getting likes is the only joy you get I guess,  it even tells me when people unlike or even view my page and wants me to boost my post to get more attention for $4 a day :P.

There is a messenger group I am part of that is cool with a gang of old schools from here but it's private thank god but even that you have to turn notifications off or the boys will drive your ringer batty with the shenanigans.

Hey man, how many are you looking for? I have a lot of original cases I have kept when they started switching to the slim cases. :)
#10
Great topic. I have a couple but there stored away right now but there older and focus a lot on the arcade games and the artwork on the cabs, that's what started it all for me so those books get me all giddy when I see them :)

Quote from: TR0N on 03/27/2018, 12:59 AMI watched the real ghostbusters last year on netflik.The show still holds up well at least season one does after that the show goes downhill.Though i never got into the toys as a kid i all ways thought kenner could have done better with them.Still,this new line coming by from diamond select toys look way better then the original line  :shock:
The retro figures were more then I ever expected with there hidden scare modes and accessories, I still giggle with the hair raising figures and the eyes that pop out, teeeeheeee, but ya that new line looks pretty cool.
Dunno when i was kid i had kenner run of star wars and i like it.I don't know why but i got never got into the original toy-line for,real ghostbusters.Still i like this trend of late of taking toys from the 80's and having them redone with more detail with transformers,he-man motu etc.
I have the original Star Wars from when I was a kid and many years back I almost found them all, I am just short a few power of the force figs. The Ghostbusters figs in comparison are super goofy and I think that's why I never got into them. Some reason I appreciate them more now and love the actions and style of them. Some are super ridiculous but that smile they give me and my kids has got me after them. I hate being a collector sometimes, my kids are turning out to be just like me :P

Hi guys, been awhile.  Still around and have wet dreams and a lot of love still for my TG16.
Just thought I would ask if anyone is into The Real Ghostbusters? Was a great cartoon back in the day.

I have been collecting off and on and looking for upgrades, weapons, ghosts and monsters.
I already have quite a few but thought I would ask here what you have and maybe if you want to sell to me or trade or warm hugs towards them.
#15
Winner chosen. Pm me and I will get your goodies out this week. (( Dirty hug))
#16
Will add names tomorrow on the first post.
Still a couple of days left if anyone else wants in.

All are welcome.

Download and Download 2 are great games to look into, a bit pricey but what else is f@cking new.

Oh, also

Welcome man, finally someone genuine that is excited to play it then what it is worth. Wish I had some extra games to send your way.

When you finally power up this baby and if the CD unit does not spin up leave it on for about 20 minutes, pressing the play button right on the cd unit every once in awhile while your waiting. I had troubles with mine before I got it fixed and this got mine going. Had to warm up and finally spun up after a few presses of the play button.

A musician you say? A guy name Arkhan here plays a mean skin flute! :P

Quote from: SignOfZeta on 11/14/2017, 08:53 PMMy hope is that all the guys here who have $10,000 collections manage to leave them all to the same scene and keep them off eBay forever. As has been mentioned, a lot of us bought these games at $50 or less new and could cash in big time at any minute but have held off. I'd like to hold off until the market collapses completely and everything is worthless like it was before.

Cash Ruins Everything Around Me. It certainly doesn't help this forum. The more valuable the games get the more carpetbagger scum show up circling around us like basic cable vultures.

It would be a trivial thing to modify my will to including raffling off all my NEC shit to PCEFX forum goers with more than 5000 posts. Maybe we need a thread for that...granted, I sold most of my US stuff or traded it away back when the JP stuff was expensive so it's a bit easier for me to give it up but...I'll be fucking DEAD, and I'm not planning on making that transition for decades...
I am with ya zeta, I do hope the market collapses and watch the cold sweats start on the big spenders and gougers. I might not play my stuff as often as I would like but I appreciate what I have and see value in the fond kid memories of always wanting this system, seeing ads in flyers and cutting them out like playboy centerfolds :P and now owning pretty much all I ever wanted in the TG16 wet dream aisle. When I die I will leave it all to my kids and I want you all to come to cover my coffin in sparky labels and send me off proper :).

Zero_Gamer! Send me your address and I will get your trophy out right away. :P
#34
Oh that guy, I sold him the MC box and a beyond shadow gate map and inlays to help him out back in the day. All went to eBay! Hope he feels good as he has been the only one.

If I have his full address still I should send him a little trophy that says "dick 2017" I have a bunch of little party trophies that would work perfect with some custom stickers. I could send a few to some here as well :P. Hey we could give them out yearly like our very own award show where we vote and crown a real winner. Ha

I would love to know who that cock is that is selling that one MC with one of my repro boxes. Going to look back on all the address from the buys to find the smoker!

Are you leaving your stuff there? Do you have stuff? Turbo stuff?  Just wow, I am sorry to say it but we are going to have to make a visit to see your aunt. Necro said he will take one for the team and slip her the kieth courage pickle in hopes to distract her or maybe change her mind.

All out of line joking aside I hope you have other family or friends close by you can stay with, Sorry to hear man. Hugs and will check out your go fund me.

Did mr green ever find the green?

I am another old timer that remembers seeing them for $125 and finally bought in. I almost felt sick I paid so much. Still the most I ever spent on one single game, ever!!! You new guys better be getting some air miles or some sorta visa points for your purchases to help make you feel better. :P

Always thought it was strange MS games released in Canada were PAL
Say what? I always thought they were USA releases that with our laws over here had to be bilingual on the printed pieces. Sega or who ever was liecenced to do the box and manuals had to whip up and find room for the French to go. You see a lot of good but a lot of bad results in the end and still do in Canada today.

Edit: TGmaniac I will get back to you on our deal today, it was my birthday yesterday, I was making merry. :)

Quote from: Keith Courage on 08/24/2017, 12:50 AMhah, no need for me to measure it. I just looked over the map again and found a place where it says that is it a repro. Never noticed it before because it's so small. The exact wording is "Not Official. This is only a copy 2010"
That would be one of mine, damn that's not cool not being told it's a repro as the person who bought it from me for the big $2 should be passing that info on. Sorry I meant well making these for peeps, luckily I only made a small amount.

I did a repro of that map for a few members here but I made sure I put it was a repro on in. It was not super big lettering but could be spotted easily. Like Zero said above the original is a paper, not super glossy but good poster paper.

Quote from: TheClash603 on 08/23/2017, 08:04 AMIn Canada, are there no tinted window laws? Car looks very sharp though.

In Buffalo, they pull you over for basically any level of tint, or even for thinking about tint.
Haha well in 2002 in Canada the darkest legal tinting was 35 for the driver and passenger side so the cops could see in, then you could go as dark as you wanted 0/limo tinting for the back window and the back sides. Now the laws have changed ( says my Mitsubishi dealership) a tint of 30 all the way around is as dark as you can go and that is what I have on the Lancer.

Thanks for the kind words on her, I also have a 10 year or 200,000 warranty on it that helped seal the deal, that and I got the tint for free :)
