    I've seen a lot of THQ prototypes pop up on Ebay recently, I assume that they were purchased when the company went out of business. Not all is lost. ;)

    I'm still heartbroken to see THQ close down. All the guys and gals at the Australian division treated us like royalty at every function they organized, both local and international. Had a great relationship with them. One thing i wish i did was go dumpster diving behind their building when they shut down in Melbourne :D Not sure where all of their stuff went. I haven't noticed any particular auctions or sales relating to their goods (though i stopped searching soon after they closed down). There was a massive Warhammer Space Marine statue inside their HQ greeting you as you exit the elevator to their offices. Would've LOVED to score that one. In the end i still have a heap of both used and new/shrinkwrapped review copies as well as a THQ PAL GameCube NR dev kit to remember them by. Man... i should have gone THQ dumpster diving...

    EDIT: Sorry for the horizontal pic post - first image attachment and not sure how to rotate (did not see anything relating to this in FAQ). If mods can rotate - please feel free :)

    I would also be interested in the wrestling games. For some reason I have a soft spot for them. Especially SmackDown 1 and 2 for the PS1.

    Yup, they've been gone now. Pretty sure Deep Silver covers their stuff now, but I'm not exactly sure.
