voltron Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Well My Cmart syndrome is getting worse and I have this thing for foreign variants. Here is some stuff I got from Japan. Sorry for the pic quality it was the ipad camera and as usual any pic I load with my Ipad comes out dark and sideways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

y-bot Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 I got mine from "Friends" in Akihabara for 3000 Yen (about $30 at the time.) It was a huge ordeal because it wasn't priced and the lady working had to call her husband. I had to promise not to return it because it hadn't been tested yet.

Prices havent changed much and some are even cheaper. The kicker is shipping. so you wanna grab as many as possible to ship in one box.

I went to Tokyo in 2005 and 2006 and each time I spent aound $800 shipping boxes back to the US. I easily paid for my trip selling the duplicate stuff I got from flea markets and recycle shops. I would love to go back again someday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Games For Your Intellivision Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 I used to live 45 mins outside of Akihabara, and would go there a lot just to look around. I know all the best places to buy stuff. If you ever go, the best place to find Bandai Intellivision stuff is at 'Super Potato'. Sigh....I miss spelunking around Akiba.......had so much money in my pocket....now I live in the land of high prices and low wages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nukeshed Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 I would kill to live anywhere near Akihabara. Super jealous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Games For Your Intellivision Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 I don't live there anymore, but lived 45 mins away from Akiba for 7 years....and 1 year I was a few hours away, but still got there regularly... I know the place like the back of my hand.........I miss wallking around Akihabara with 300,000 Yen in my pocket able to pick up whatever i fancied..... My fave thing in my local town of Moriya was going to a place called 'Hard Off' which later changed hands, which is a thrift store....always had lots of classic Japanese video game stuff.....I used to pick up Famicoms (working) for 100 yen (about a buck)........picked up a boxed NEO GEO AES but had to toss the box when i moved back home to fit it in my luggage....sniff....you should have seen all the stuff I tossed when I left....would have made you cry.....lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
