The Legend of Zelda plate

Post by Pabstblueribbon »

Anyone remember this plate?

Okay, yeah, 15,000 dollars is ridiculous. I happened across one of these in pretty good condition today at goodwill. I had never heard of or seen one of these, and it was hidden pretty well. Pretty good find I'd say. I am wondering if anyone can tell me any info about these? Were there other plates or food items sold that go with this plate? It appears to be a pretty hard to find item, I would imagine most of these were destroyed or the color came off after being used a lot. Lastly for the zelda collectors, what would YOU pay for one of these? The one I have has some fork and knife marks but is still in pretty good condition for a cheap plastic plate.

I have a He-Man bowl I picked up at a flea market when I was at school for $2. Unfortunately I dropped it and it broke. I glued it back together, but obviously I can't use it for food anymore. I see they've had 31 offers on their bowl they "haft to" put up for sale. Aside from the ridiculous BiN price this tells me they are an idiot that think they have gold instead of a cheap mass produced plate and they will be holding onto it for a long time.

Pretty sure it came with a little matching cup and silverware set. I remember seeing the Zelda one in a box online somewhere. Jogged my memory of a kid's Batman dinner set I had when I was a kid.

As far as what it's worth to me? I honestly don't think it's very rare. At most, maybe like $50?

heh, who knew that kind of stuff would be worth money now. :lol:

All I got is a Mario bros plastic lunch box with thermos. It's currently holding all my POGs in it. I think the only other old video game memorabilia I have is a black Super Mario Bros. Alleyway kids size t-shirt in nice shape.
the shirt I have is similar but black.

I can reget most of the games I had as a kid and now don't, but I'm most sad about my pog cards getting thrown away by my jerk of a father. I had hundreds, if not over a thousand.

My mom kept just about everything from our child hood, We've got plenty of toys in box, I have almost all the weapons for my ninja turtles and GI Joes. Its really unbelievable to see all this stuff. I'm considering ebaying a lot of these items as some look to be worth a bit now.

So, I have lots of POGs in a Pog tube and tons of slammers and all that junk. :lol: Even some of those taco bell star wars pog type things mixed in. Some even look like original Hawaiian pogs. I don't really know what to do with it all.
