They almost never do. You can use a service like Rinkya or somebody else...who knows...I don't use them. They'll bid on stuff on yahoo jp, charge you through the ass...ta da! A Wondermega for you.

There's only one Victor Wondermega on eBay and it's at a ridiculous price. Does anyone know of a good import store where I could get one in the $150 or lower range?

No chance. All you'll get in that price range without a lot of luck is an X'eye. It'll take a great deal of ebay scouring to get one in that range. Import shops are no use either as most tie their prices to ebay...

Ok, that's it! I'm here to settle the whole Wondermega differences once and for all!! Here is how it breaks down, pay attention class

The Wondermega was made by both JVC/Victor and Sega. As seen in the pics above they are pretty much identical. The ONLY differences are the following between the units:

-The POWER button on each unit is a different color.
-BOTH systems have the same green lights.
-The SEGA model has a white rim around the lid, as the JVC one has a black one
-On the upper right of the console, each one has the respective maker's moniker on it
-The JVC one has the MD/Mega CD sticker logo under the WONDERMEGA title on the upper left
-The JVC model has the words "Integrated Amusement Sytem RG-M1" written above the READY and ACCESS lights
-To squash the rumor, there were NOT any other colored models (as was once thought)
-The JVC system also came with the Wondermega Collection CD and a JVC branded 3-button gray controller
-One other rumor to squash is the rarity of one version over the other. They are both technically rare, but this is how it broke down. The JVC model sold a bit more than the Sega model, however Sega actually put more units out there than JVC did.

To clear up another point, JVC released a second, scaled down version of the Wondermega, called the Wondermega 2. Looking nowhere as nice as the original, it got rid of many features that were included on the original. This is the hideous beast that made its way to the US as the X'Eye (however, the wireless pads and the S-Video feature were oddly taken out of the US version).

If you are wondering, I actually own the JVC version and have played with the Sega version also (I, too, personally like the JVC model more). Hopefully this helps out a bit more in the info. dept. since I love my Wondermega

can't really help too much on info. as to where to by one, but I just figured I would repost for you some info. on the Wondermega I did a little while back here to help sort out any mis-info or rumors.
