Quote from: oldskool on 06/03/2010, 02:51 AMGrats Roy!

I'll buy that Magical Chase off ya for $5.

Two whole collections? I can't even finish my one. Weak!

henrycsc · 06/03/2010, 08:17 AM

Great photo Roy - love the cigarette lighter. So I take it you're going to smoke the Magical Chase manual first. I prefer smoking Soldier Blade because Magical Chase tastes like menthol to me.

Quote from: RoyVegas on 06/03/2010, 01:14 AMMy new Turbo Hu card collection came in the mail today.

jesus... where the hell did you snag these with another magical chase?
And whats the big Roy plan for these? let me know so i can judge you

hell of a grab Roy

Mathius · 06/03/2010, 12:41 PM

Holy sh*t Roy

Never saw anyone buy a whole collection before. Well, um, I got Parodius Da! today....

I actually smoke menthols, so MC tasting like menthol is totally fitting.

Your favorite place, eBay.

Plan is to hang on to them. Don't hold me to that forever as I do reserve the right to change my mind. Judge me, don't kid yourself Sparky, you've never judged me before...

Why would you want two complete sets? One open set and one sealed set makes a modicum of sense, but two open sets is just plain dumb.

RoyVegas · 06/03/2010, 01:21 PM

The intention when I bought them was actually to resell them and keep the Magical Chase but break even on cash. Then when I got them, I reconsidered.

oldskool · 06/03/2010, 01:26 PM

It makes some sense really. Keep the boxed set put away with the games inside. Keep the new set to use as the ones to play. That way you are not in and out of your boxes all of the time to play a game.

NecroPhile · 06/03/2010, 01:37 PM

It doesn't make any sense to me; just leave them out of the box.

oldskool · 06/03/2010, 02:33 PM

Yeah I suppose you could do that. But think of it this way, the extra set could be used as backups. They way the boxed ones are not getting all scratched up, used, and abused.

I dunno, I'm just trying to come up with reasons to justify an extra collection..

There's only one reason to have two complete sets: because you want to have two complete sets. Any other rationalization is just bull.

Sparky · 06/03/2010, 04:12 PM

whatever... reminds me of a kids book i use to read.... but hey i dont judge

RoyVegas · 06/03/2010, 04:33 PM

Obamas president now. When the redistribution of wealth happens there will be plenty of Turbo to spread around, no worries.

TheClash603 · 06/03/2010, 05:51 PM

Got them on ebay? How did I miss this auction?

Well, I will continue to slug my way towards my last four games...

I understand why you post the pics of guns now, two complete turbo collections could stir up some violence!

$2 grand for a whole hu-card collection is pretty fair. You could offer me a reasonable price on Chase HQ's manual because it is my birthday?

Question is, if another such collection appears, do you buy it Roy? It seems we may have a second guy throwing off the MC supply and demand (if the original guy rumors are true).

RoyVegas · 06/03/2010, 06:40 PM

I actually paid $1800 as when the MC got here the manual was pretty crumpled up and the staples had been moved and restapled. I got a $200 refund for that..

I have no idea what I'll do in the future Clash.

Yeah, whenever I find a good deal on eBay I should definately pass it up.

Nope - buy it all and horde it.

My preciousssssssssss.

RoyVegas · 06/04/2010, 11:13 AM

So your suggestion on what I should have done would have been what Necro?

Quote from: RoyVegas on 06/04/2010, 11:13 AMSo your suggestion on what I should have done would have been what Necro?

Take a guess. I assure you it doesn't involve buying and keeping games for which you have zero practical use.

RoyVegas · 06/04/2010, 11:34 AM

I'm not one for guessing NecroPhile, I know what your insinuating however I would prefer if you spelled it out for me.

No Roy, no one is saying that but come on... horde it away?!!! for what?... answer me that?

This is a quote from you on your TG16/Duo collecting reference guide...
".......i'd also like to thank the folks at www.pcengine-fx.com and www.digitpress.com forums for selling and trading me games and other items that I've needed."

well come on Roy, how about helping others that helped you.... i know a crazy thought eh!!!

When I'm ready to sell it I will (maybe that will be tomorrow maybe it wont), I'm not on yours or anyone elses timetable.

Nice hoobs. You just need to mod your GPS so your car/plane looks like the ship from Nexzr.

Snagged the this rare FACEBALL non-for-sale toughie as part of a pack just this morning:

Tats - what is the background on this? I know you were looking for it as well... unlike the other non-for-sale demo discs/hucards, I have not been able to get much information on this demo disk.

chop5 · 06/07/2010, 08:21 PM

what i scored last week except for the snes carts came in the mail saturday:

all from a thrift store,i feel like i went to a hardoff

All together except the snes carts was $38 and all working fine,a few bolts missing on the twin stick case but i can find a replacement when i go to menards.

That dreamcast stick is a oddity. used for flight sims but it has programmable buttons so i think i can use it for fighters.
The saturn was region modded by its previous owner.
