    Welcome aboard! You should keep an eye out on the marketplace for items sold by @Comboy as every now and then he sells items from Korea. Great seller (bought from him before!), highly recommended!

    Enjoy your stay and share some pics of your collection!

    Thank you :)
    I have several goals.
    First i began to collect Pal SNES Games Fullset. Then i decided to add these 2 goal to the 1st one : Game boy and Nes pal fullset.
    At the moment these 3 goals are not finished, but ... to be continued :)

    Beeing bored about French/Pal games ^^ i extended this passion to several country.
    I try to collect international games : few fullset of different countries and in an other hand, just best games from differents countries (hits).
    Trying my best on these 3 nice nintendo systems which i had in my childhood. love story :)

    Damn, both PAL NES and SNES full set are a pain in the ass to get ! Some titles are just incredibly rare, like Snowboard Chalenge, Phantom air mission. Hope you are close to your goals ;)

    - Snes pal set is hard because : Specially when you want nice conditions games, there are so many titles. But just few of them are really rare.
    - Nes pal set is hard because : spanish , scnandinav exclusivity. The games you mention are not common yes, but you often have the oportunity to buy them. Problem is just the price that they are always too expensive.
    - Gameboy pal set : lot of games and pretty hard to get a lot of these littles boxes. But it's a pleasure to collect gameboy. Fortunately, i decided to collect game boy not too late.

    But these 3 goals are in background of the rest of my little other goals. Not the funniest part in my collection life :)
    Nowadays i am motivated to increase the quality of my asian sets, as i said specially chinese/asian and korean ones ^^

    Hope to share with you my different goals/interests soon with some pictures.
    I love rare system pack (also sega,xbox, playstation ones) , old signs/old store displays, prototypes cartridges, rental games..

    I agree that rare NES games are at unbelievable prices. Most of the time, they are even more expensive than prototypes !
    Good luck in your find to increase the quality of your asian collection ;)

    Oh lol, don't even get me started on the NES collecting scene; what a f****** mess. Seriously, it ends up being the people at the top are also the ones with the biggest pockets and they hoard all the good stuff from the market. They purposely buy as much as they can so that they can inflate the prices and use their collection as a retirement fund. I think its pathetic.

    It really irritates me how they just prevent other people from enjoying their hobby. I reckon that eventually its gonna hurt them more than anything else, as I think this generation of gamers isn't very interested in the NES, and soon enough their collections will become worthless and they'll wonder why they didn't treat others with respect.

    Anyways, back onto topic; Hey!
    Always nice to see more European guys on the site; gives me more people to talk to when all the America-folks are sleeping :p

    I do agree with this !

    NES market already starts to slowdown, and collectors are more and more tired of seing high prices like the one we can see for NES games. Some NES games are really rare, but as you said, some people are making a business by buying and selling them, without collecting. Anyway, most rare games are pretty poor ones, except Little Sanson which looks great, so I am not really pissed off for not having many of them ;)
