Title: Cool garage sale find today
Post by: Miracle_Warrior on 07/08/2017, 08:01 PM
Purchased some Genesis games from a garage sale yesterday and I asked the man if he had any other gaming stuff. He mentioned that he had some Colecovision and turbografx 16 items, but didn't feel like fishing them out as it was the end of the day. He took my number and said he'd text me. This morning I wake up and he sends me a list of what he had and said if I wanted it, I could come grab it today. Here's what I came away with.  I thought the massive Christmas sale sticker on the face of the box was a definite upgrade over Zack Morris :)  The Keith Courage Comic too was a nice bonus.

Didn't we have a debate about whether KC was shrink wrapped a while ago?

Nice score.  I didn't realize the Booster had canuck specific packaging; is the Turbob box (other than the sticker) regular US version or is it canuckler too?

Yeah, what was it?  I assume it was one of the regular boxed games.

I believe it came with a mail away card where you were able to pick one from a small handful of games.  I think you're right, it was likely one of the games in the picture.

You are all collectards because you admire stuff in boxes. Especially good condition boxes.

I think my brother bought his TG-16 at this time. I'm pretty sure the extra game was loose, probably loose with a sleeve, maybe manual (ie: Ninja Spirit w/ American Duos). I can't remember what it was. I think...Aeroblasters? Either that or Final Lap Twin. It would have been in the box.

I remember China Warrior being a pack-in too.  I think I have a Ninja Spirit with a sticker indicating it is a pack in.. I'll have to check later when I get home.

My buddy scooped a Duo during the death rattle of TTI, and he chose over the phone which game he wanted. It made me think they just dropped the cart in the box before shipping.

He chose Samurai Ghost. No manual. No sleeve. Just the Huey.

I recently found a system NIB and KC was completely sealed in cellophane. And another one I got not too long ago was still partially sealed in the same cellophane. So I'm convinced, unless it was a regional thing. In which case I know nothing about

My keith courage was also sealed.

Here's pics from the console box I recently found that was never used before

And here's pics from the one that was partially opened (but still never played)

Everything about the packaging is identical.  But both were from Canada, so maybe that has something to do with it. I know some console packages had a magazine that was included, which was not with my NIB console. So i'm convinced now it's a regional thing if there's any controversy.

All right - so I remembered China Warrior being a pack in, and here is why:

Don't know why I remembered it being Ninja Spirit with the sticker...
Title: Re: Cool garage sale find today
Post by: esteban on 07/18/2017, 12:24 AM
Lost Monkey: I have never seen that sticker! Ha!

The reason why it is confusing is because there were SEVERAL PACK-IN HUEYS for the TurboDuo... this was reported in magazines/promotional material (from TTi themselves) as well as personal anecdotes shared here.

I wish we had a nice list of the various HuCARDs that ended up as pack-ins...
