      That would be cool. Might strap my GoPro around my head the next time. lol
      Or I wish there was something like in the movie Strange Days that would also share the excitement that I felt.

          Keyword: Famicombox

          And that is just one item of many.
          Not sure what is going on but the rare stuff is pilling up in the stores recentely. Few months ago there was not so much stuff around.
          Also took a picture of a naked, normal US SNES, they want 27000Yen for it! Crazy!

            @FlyingTomahawk I can send you a US SNES for way less than that. ;) They're fairly easy to find over here.

            Mine from when I was 10 years old is now one of the ones that's discolored, but it still works. At least it did when I had a TV that would accept the video signal. (No, you can't have mine from when I was a kid.)

            A Famicombox?! Did it also have the games for it? I thought I read that they had special DRM on those carts.

              10 Games and gun included!
              I'm eating right now and then I go check out 2 more stores. I could quickly upload the picture of the Famicombox.

                      Now you got me worried there for a second. I thought you gonna tell me to get that thing for you. ;-)
                      I was super excited to see it until I saw the price, that is where I almost fainted.
                      I know it's rare and old and all but c'mon $1650!! That is just ridiculous. But that ain't the tip of the ice berg yet. Look at the following images, especially the Atari Jaguar.

                        Now this one is a true treasure and worth more then it says on it.
                        Quiz: Can someone tell me what makes this Famicom so special? Why is it $120 without box and anything?

                        alt text

                        That's it for today. What a fun trip that was today. I really enjoyed seeing all these rare consoles.

                          @FlyingTomahawk Only 780Yen for Mario 2 FDS? Nice.

                          I don't know what's special about the $120 Famicom. Do you?

                            Yes, 780 for FDS Mario.
                            Yes I do know. I was wondering if you guys are real retro boys. :-))
                            Let's wait until @edmaul69 reads it maybe he knows the answer. If he doesn't I'll reveal it.
                            Wonder when he's gonna move to Japan...hehehe...

                              @FlyingTomahawk I had to look again. It's 3 AM and my eyes are tired and there was glare in the photo. It's a square button Famicom!

                                BINGO!
                                Its a real first generation Famicom. The one that was released most beginning.
                                Those rubber buttons were replaced later with round hard plastic ones.

                                  @FlyingTomahawk so you bought it to cut up a controller and put a ZeroW inside? ;) (Please don't.)

                                    @FlyingTomahawk how are the Famicom shells doing in their bleach baths? Any noticeable changes? I was always curious how effective that could be. I don't think of plastic as being that absorptive.

                                      Its been 2.5 days since I put them in there.
                                      My one looks better then before but then again it could be the water that makes it look better.
                                      The first day it was nice and sunny and yesterday it was raining and cloudy so I kept the buckets under the roof. Today before I went to work I put them out again and weather looks great, sunny again.
                                      According to the www. some guys start to see first changes after 5-6 days. Others have used UV lights aka. Black light to speed up the process. They say that UV rays are needed for the bleach to do its magic.
                                      I intend to keep them in there for at least 1 week if not longer if necessary. I hope edmaul69 is patient.
                                      I really hope to see some good results. It would be too bad if it was for nothing.

                                            @FlyingTomahawk that square button famicom is awesome. I am however, glad both sega and nintendo switched to plastic buttons.

                                            Ido have a passport. Now i need to sell my life belongings to move. ;) japan is the only country that is on my bucket list. I hope to get there one day. And seeing all this beautiful game stuff i really want to go now.
