Nice color, not easy to find -- but I REALLY hate to tell ya -- years ago (2005), I got a new one also in the same case, for roughly $2. Some lady was selling them on Ebay, and she had tons.

I now have 4 transparent VMUs -- Red, Blue, Yellow, Green

Still, a nice rare color find :) And yes, Yellow VMUs *ARE* hard to find. They can pop up in the wild on occasion, but blue and green and even the standard gray are far more common.

Stopped at Savers, a local thrift store, today and found the Call of Duty Black Ops preorder bonus for $3. Needless to say, I jumped right on that.

It's the war medal thing. Not a big CoD fan so I'll probably sell it.

I'm not either, but that is a good catch. Post a pic!

:lol: Hey ExedExes please don't feel bad for posting, information is power 8)
I'd feel quite sad if you had bought yours 7 days ago, less so if 7 months, but 7 years sits well with me and i'm glad you got a good deal :)
The price I paid included $11.39 for international shipping, so i'm still very happy with the price :D

Got 2 black, 2 green, 3 blue and 3 standard grey myself, all factory sealed :)

Not sure if this goes here or somewhere else - at any rate:

CIB - Sculptor's Cut

Image

Box - 8/10
Manual - 6/10 (intact and complete, inner pages are unmarked, but obviously some wear to edges and BLOCKBUSTER written across front page)
Cart - 10/10

I heard these were common,so yeah you would post it here :lol:

I found a very good complete copy of Three Dirty Dwarves (saturn) for $5 a couple days ago,but no one commented.

What's the story on price and where you got that mjmjr25?

That is the one title my buddy needs to complete out his N64 collection and he has refused to use ebay to get any of them. He has to find it in the wild.

That's very respectable, but are you telling me that he found every other N64 game in the wild? Some of those are pretty hard to come by.

That's his story - not necessarily complete in box (at least from the pics I last saw) but he traverses the flea markets of Washington and has a huge overall Nintendo collection. Sculptor's cut is the last one.

I've tried to get him to post on RB but he quit messages boards

I got it from a comrade on another forum - keeping price quiet out of respect for my homies - *pours out a little liquor*

There were I believe just under 5,000 copies produced, of those, it is believe a few hundred boxes survived, of those only a smaller percentage of the boxes are complete / good shape (many were bastardized for custom rental boxes, many more just tossed or used for in-store display). Similar stories on the manuals.

Best to avoid ebay on them, there is a boxed copy for $300, a boxed w/manual copy for $900 - that's it. I saw the Beast Wars N64 "box only" go for $38 last week - and to be honest, that was a great price, it has gone as high as $80 and it is not as rare as sculptor's box.
