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?

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?

FlyingTomahawk

@obsidianspider

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.

obsidianspider

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

obsidianspider

@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.

FlyingTomahawk

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

Btw. It's lunch time again!
Guess were I'm heading,...hehehe....

obsidianspider

@FlyingTomahawk I live vicariously through you sir. Please post photos.

@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.
