I saw this auction. I thought Bronty already had one though. I was offering up my extra SE box for one of these babies sealed there doesn't seem to be that many left out there. Nice win Dan :)

thanks guys.  I didn't have one until now, no.  Had the myriad but not the caltron.

Good job Bronty...how close are you to finishing?


And I totally would've opened that...

Thanks.    I think I have 27 left.    I've opened stuff before to play, but not $500 games and not unlicensed titles that are probably crappy to play anyway :)

damn, only 27 :o  Such an impressive collection.  What all games do you still need, post us a list.

Wow that's mega impressive, i really would love to see some pics Bronty.

Thanks.  I'd love to but unfortunately it has to stay private for now.  Some people will "punishment bid" items they don't want if they know you want it and if you're in a disagreement over whatever.. and some of this stuff only gets on ebay once every few years.

There's at least two similar collections out there (one a little more complete than mine, one a little less) but thanks.  I'd love to post pics to share but most is in storage, plus there is the addition by subtraction issue (people might be able to figure out the list of 27 by what's not in the pics).   I will dig around my pc and at least post a couple games from whatever old pics I have around.   cheers.

Can't access my other webspace from here but probably have a few more pics later when I do.

Dude, that's awesome!

I'm curious what's left to get too, but not because I'm vindictive or anything.  Just figured I could keep an eye out for ya when I'm hunting.  I do that for a few people...if I know they're looking for something, I keep my eyes peeled.  And I'd open games I'd never play, just for the sake of seeing what's in the box...I'd open that Stadium Events you snagged ;)  Which brings up another point: If I landed a sealed game you needed, rather than opening it, I'd offer to trade it to you first.  Help both our collections out :)  But damn...that close to a complete sealed collection...impressive!

I know.. that's the worst part is knowing that 99% of the people I would give the list to would be helping.   But there's always the case of the other 1% :(

Here's another pic I found from a couple years ago - unlicensed group shot

Well, I hope you didn't need Cartoon Workshop...opened that earlier today.  I can get a couple sealed games if they're still there in a couple months (not gonna go back to Edmonton any time soon lol)...I remember Yo! Noid being there...can't remember the other two.  Kinda cool finding sealed titles in the wild though...brings back memories of 1995 :P

Thanks for sharing Bronty, the games look mega nice. Looking forward to a complete collection pic soon! ;)

Didn't need cartoon workshop but it's really, really nice of you to offer to look out for me - I appreciate it :)   If you do ever pick up those other two, do let me know what they are.   Thanks..

No worries man.  The games there are pretty pricey though...one was $40 CAN and the others were $80 CAN...might be able to talk them down, or trade in some stuff towards them, but I'd rather be sure you need them before I buy them, since I'd be opening them anyway if you don't.

Will do.  I grabbed the card for the store, so I can always call them, and see if they'll mail order them for me...well, once I get the fundage on my credit card to pay for them lol.
