Red Gakken LSI VFD Football (American)

Howdy all.

In summer 2019, I sold my collection down to 44 games. One game remains that I’d like to have -- the RED Gakken LSI football (American football). I have all of the others in that series.

If anyone here has one that they’d like to sell, please PM me.

Finally picked this up from a seller in Spain. Now, all those cutesy color Gakken LSI VFDs are mine. (I never liked the Grey ones with the handles.)

I don't think I ever had that Football one... But all the others I did have, and they do look cool all lined up together.

The look of the Hanzawa 'L-shaped' games all together is pretty cool too, although not as colorful. Smile

Funny you should mention that -- I collected the Hanzawa / Actronics L-shaped ones solely because of the shape, and lined up together was extra cuteness.

A side benefit I've noticed of having only 45 instead of the 300+ I used to have is that I actually play them more. Previously, I was just sort of overwhelmed by them. (Owning your collection versus being owned by your collection.) And it's nice that they all now fit on one bookshelf that my better half allows to be out and on display. Smile

I know at some point I'll whittle even the 45 down to 15 or so. I'm not quite there yet, but within a year or 2.
