Toubib has finally given in and is making a thread

This set took my forever to find complete. These are the Gundam sets for the PS2 and Gamecube. The Gold PS2 is Gundam Titans vs AEUG, and the faded red metal looking Gamecube is the Char Aznable Set.

 

Very very nice! I have never see three 64DD side by side, especially atop such nice N64s Can't wait to see more.

 

Why so many tests?

 

Bought them in a bundle, no choice really.

 

Bad answer, correct answer: Because I can!

 

What a freaking hell storm to get one these.

 

You keeping it in the box or are you opening it?

 

Yea, I'll post some more pics when I open it (I was hoping to grab a game to play, but no such luck in the christmas frenzy).

 

20 Years of PlayStation Collecting.




Ta Da!

Well... it could have been worse. In the U.S Sony priced it fairly imo. Had I been in Europe, I don't think I would have been able to swing it.

 

That's the lowest number I've seen so far

 

Congratulations on that buy. Quite an impressive line-up of Sony consoles.

 

It's been slim pickins for me. Not sure if it's because I'm super busy, or if everything is just getting harder to find. Regardless I did find some Wii's I've been looking for in great condition. So I guess it's not too bad. For those planning to collect for Wii, I recommend start jumping on stuff now while the prices are still low.

 

Yeah, the Wii Mini is still cheap and easy to find. But the older version (GC ports) is already hard. All the colors.
Another beautiful color you can get is the light blue Wii. It's the new version. But any version is still better than the Mini if anyone plans to use.

 

Haven't had a chance to post in a while. Haven't collected much hardware either. However with the help of a member here I got my Gundam Gamecube Xeno'd.

Here's opening day, no going back now. I thought against opening this console since it was in such good condition... but the region lock was killing me. I could only use the Gameboy player on this unit as that was the only part of the console not region locked. (Japanese Gamecubes are locked to NTSC-Japan Gamecube games unfortunately)







All done. (Thanks to a member here, I botched the install, had to send out an SOS to get it fixed)



Works perfectly! Now I can play NTSC-US and NTSC-J games without worries about a switch or any of that. Just plug and play.




I also got some new posters from Japan. I stumbled upon these randomly on YJP. They are promo posters but not sure from where (I think game store?). I thought they were pretty neat none the less, so I snagged them up and framed them.





Because these were japanese posters the size of these were in cm standard not inch standard. This made finding frames for these really difficult. I lucked out though because Ikea frames run in cm standard. So for those who get non-US posters hopefully this info helps with frame finding. Bc going the custom frame route is really costly.


Lastly I was able to snag one of these a while ago... just never got around to posting it. It's a Dakota, with matching dongle. My first and only proto controller. However it does work on the retail Xbox's I tried it on, so major plus there!
