Hehe, I have seen that alpha reference to come.I have only one of these sunsoft comps. Funnily it might be vol. 5What are those worth these days?
The kuso game volumes are worth $10-20 (Vol 1-3). Vol 4 and 5 around $30 and Volume 6 can go $100+! It was recently sold in lousy condition without spinecard and sunbleached for 8500yen on YAJ. Luckily I didn't pay that rate
I haven't been posting for two years as there has been little that I could have shown you. I continued to buy games, but they all stayed in their shipping boxes and went straight to a storage department >_> After spending 4+ months in Japan, I am now back in Canada and finally moved into my first real apartment (I lived in student dorms and shared apartments since August 2011). I now have a (small) dedicated game room that will be filled to the brim with shelves, consoles, games and monitors (^c^)/ Around 80% of my collection is stored in my parents' basement, which is over 1300km (800mi) away from my home at the West Coast. Once I can afford a moving company, everything will be moved over to my apartment - hopefully before October of this year. Until then, here are some impressions of the current collection situation. The room This cool gap between the closet and ceiling is where I will store all my hardware boxes! Current shelf situation. I will add more boards so each shelf is configured like the one on the left. I hope that it can fit all CD-sized games and Famicom boxes, while the remaining cartridge games and DVD-cases will be stored somewhere else. For the LOLs: My collection as it is stored right now - numbered, color-coded, arranged according to weight and size. sooooooooon....
Oh man, I feel you! It's been almost a year since I relocated to Ireland, and all my collection (bar a few handhelds...) still rests in boxes in a storage unit in Uruguay Here's part of it: I look forward to seeing your new room all up and running, your collection has always been one of my favorites around here ^_^ BTW, 4 months in Japan sounds cool, were you on business/study or just extended vacation?
Cheers man! I didn't know you went to Ireland, how long have you been there? Moving a sizable collection is a big pain and costly. Few collectors have to do it on an intercontinental scale like us, but it sure makes you more attached to your games. With every crazy move I feel more confident that I cannot sell my collection under any circumstances I hope you can get reunited with your games soon. I unpacked only some stuff temporarily at my parents' place, but most hardware, limited boxes and 1000+ games remained in moving boxes since 2011. They are now in storage for almost a longer time than what I had owned them prior to the move. I was in Japan as part of a student exchange program. Never posted here as that was the time when Assembler was broken, but it was quite a cool experience.

Awesome! Some very cool pics on your blog, also... Nintendo printer, nice find! Next week it's going to be a year since I came to Ireland, not many collectors here and not much retro activity going on, but man, it's way much better than being in Uruguay, plus now I can buy stuff and import without having to worry about retained packages at customs or crazy import taxes I'm looking forward to getting reunited with my collection as well. Cheers!
All my purchases from Japan have now arrived. Everything you can see in the shelf (hardware, games & manga) was accumulated since March this year. ^^ Some Taito-Memorabilia: Three incarnations of ashtrays, two different coin press souvenirs from the legendary HEY Akihabara Taito game center, and the Taito staff attendant version of sexy Sonico ^_^ Domo & Kirby rocking it out downstairs in front of a traditional Japanese paper curtain. The curtain is the made from really nice thick paper and was actually just the backside of the packaging of my Japanese SIM card. Man... I wish they'd put that much love into packaging outside of Japan, the world would be a better place.
That is a lot for a few months! I bet you had a nice time there Your new room looks nice so far, please keep us updated.
