Hi, Peter, thanks . It's not as good as some of the top collectors, but's it's mine and I enjoy it. That's the purpose. If I could only get Rik to sell me some of his collection my life would be complete. Smile

Seriously, I don't have nearly as many as the other guys because I don't collect the nintendo type game watches. I started out by only purchasing games with joysticks. It tickled me to think I might be the female collector with the most "Joy Sticks." It still still tickles me. Then I kept seeing some of the old handheld sports games I had as a child. The Mattel football, Conic Basketball, Tandy football, etc, so I started collecting those also. Then I saw a Bee Gees Rhythm Machine. Bought three of those! (I loved the Bee Gees.) Started buying musical games, Gaf melody madness and so on. Then I got really carried away and started buying just about everything. Now I'm back in control just waiting on those rare joy sticks to fall in my lap. Very Happy

Linda

Nice one Linda. I am not keen on the game & watches myself. So how about it Rik, are you willing to let go of some of your cherished items to complete Linda's dream Wink Wink ( No pressure mind you).

Mario, I don't have a daughter, but I do have a God-daughter, who is five. You're going to need to grow your game collection to catch her interest though. I've taught her well...

Then again, now that I think about it maybe I haven't taught her so well. She told me a couple months ago her favorite game in my collection was Major Morgan's Organ. Laughing

Cool... I've always wanted to go to Japan. But I'm sure it would cost me a lot of money! Mr. Green Mr. Green

Can you post a pic of just the games you bought? I can't make them all out in the little image...

I flew to Taiwan for work, and took a couple days vacation in Japan, so that makes it more affordable for me.

Several are duplicates of games I have, but the price was right so I picked them up. Nothing extremely rare.I'm going to try to trade a few for games I want. The others I will offer to the forum patrons at cost.



I passed on the $15 boxed virtual boy at the flea market. I did buy the solar game and that beat-up mr. baseball for $5 each at the flea market. I think the $30 adventure zone was my best find, I wish I could have gotten the Mystery Mansion, but they wanted $160 for it. I was not ready to pay that for a game so far down on my want list. I was happy to find the pak pak man and pak pak man II. I traded a book for the erasers. I think he got the best deal, but those erasers are cute.

I've learned that no matter what I'm going to regret not buying something. I saw one of those Japanese books/magazines and I thought $50 was more than I wanted to pay so I didn't buy it. I saw one on yahoo japan and it had a $150 starting bid. Maybe $50 wasn't too much. I passed a lot of games that I already had (in the $30 - 45 range), but now that I think about it still would have been good to bring back since they aren't common here, at least not at reasonable prices.

I'll probably have to go back that way in January if not sooner. Maybe some of them will still be there.

PostPosted: Sat Apr 19, 2008 7:23 am    Post subject: Slim Pickings in Japan Reply with quote

Back from my latest trip to Japan. I'm learning a lot each time I go.



I've finally memorized the location and routes to the stores I visit. (Not so easy considering I only read a little Japanese and speak a few phrases).

This trip was not very fruitful in my opinion, but others may think differently. I only found 21 games I cared to buy. And of those 21 games I already have 15 of them in my collection. I bought the others because the price was right. I usually don't buy duplicates, but I've been seeing games and Nintendo GW figures that I passed up for $20 in previous trips go for as much as $280 on ebay. Made me rethink passing on some the games, erasers, GW figures, I routinely see and have had no desire to buy.

My new strategy is to buy almost any game in mint condition that's $40 or less. That doesn't mean I still don't pass on dozens of games like Tomy Athleticland and Tomy Kingman. Not sure why there are so many of those, but I see them all over Japan.

I see a trend of the larger tabletop disappearing in Japan and 2 of the stores I normally visit no longer carry any portable games at all. I have no idea why. My communication wasn't good enough to figure out everything they were saying. I hope as the summer comes and tourist season picks up maybe the stores will stock more games. This time there were slim pickings. Hardly worth the trip for me. Even with a ~70% corporate discount the hotel I stay in is expensive (to me) I actually shouldn't complain, but I was hoping to find a few more rarer items since I didn't the trip was just OK for me, not great.

I'm supposed to go to Asia again in May, so if that trip doesn't get canceled I'll get to see if this fewer games available is a new trend or not. I think it must be because I saw several more "not for sale items' in one store, which means they must be getting rarer.

Oh by the way. I've starting leaving the clear cellophane on the games so that why it looks like every game has a sticker on it. The sticker is on the cellophane not the games. And yes that's 3 multiboy dam panic's back there. The price was right. I think since the store had so many it brought the price of all of them down. I decide not to buy any of the larger tabletops. They were all duplicates of ones I have and they would take up to much space in my suitcase. Now that I think about it, the larger tabletops were all priced $10-$25. I wonder if that's why the store aren't carrying more of them? Maybe they sell too cheap and it's not worth the space they take up?

Speaking of space I'll need to update the pictures of my collection/game room soon. I've added probably 300 - 400 since the last ones were taken.

Take care,
Linda

I really have to thank the Almighty that I don't collect LCD games,otherwise I would have had only two options,envy you or hate you!
This way I can look at your findings and only cheer for you.
Congrats!
The white Merlin, is one of the most beautiful games I ever had in my hands.So modern, so sleek,so ahead (from a construction pow)of its time.Really a solid and beautiful machine.It was really a pleasure holding it!

Alex

I've got to agree with Alex. 21 games is an impresive hoard for one trip, especially when in such good condition. I'm just greatful too that they do nothing for me. I'd probably be bankrupt and divorced by now if I did. Wink
