Let's talk about your NEO GEO collecting + PRICE GUIDES

[CD AGES]

@Mjmjr: may I ask what were the 8 games you purchased at $155 w/$19 ship? Just curious.

I was going to post a pic when they all arrived, but yeah, i'll post the list here shortly, sure. Gonna watch a quick show first...

Playing my Saturn as I respond, so I can wait...
Thanks btw..

Ok, so from hit-japan:
Samurai Showdown II
Baseball Stars Color
Puyo Puyo 2
Metal Slug 1st Mission
Crush Roller
Big Tournament Golf (neo turfmasters)
Puzzle Bobble Mini
World Cup Plus 98
$174 shipped / all CIB snapcases

With the exception of World Cup 98 Plus, I believe all sell for $20-45 just based on recent completeds.

KoF R2 today was from "16-bit" on ebay.

Pics once they arrive, SAL shipping, so another 5-7 days yet most likely.

Nice. I presume they are all JPN reigion? Any chance of PAL in that lot?

[mjmjr25]

I do have a world cup 98 plus UK version coming too, but everything above is JP, yeah.

I'm not big into pachinko / slot games or mahjong, so I won't be getting those. I don't think I could enjoy B & W games either, so will probably avoid those as well.

Sports and Fighters, i'll go JP clamshell, if JP version is box, then i'll go UK.

Dive Alert, Faselei, and Biomotor Unitron will all be UK for the heavy text.

[CD AGES]

Sound like a plan. Although keep in mind that Last Blades wonderful extras and mini games are also text heavy

So I take it you are avoiding cardboard cases?

[mjmjr25]

In talking w/Brad, i've thought about bastardizing a JP or UK clamshell version and putting US carts of Faselei and Last Blade in them. Wouldn't be perfect, but would present less OCD problems for me. Having a loose or even a cardboard box next to clamshells will drive me crazy I think.

Why not just simply buy the UK versions of both games which came with a clamshell box in that region??? Or are you specifically in the hunt for the more sought after, rarer offical US carts? And speak of latter region titles, what will you do with game manuals for both titles?

Well it seems my previous question about cardboard cases has been answered

How is it then you deal with AES games that didn't come in a snaplock case, like Galaxy Fight for example???

[mjmjr25]

I only have (2) snaplock cases for AES - I just have to understand that many games don't have a snapcase option. I could buy NOS snaplocks and swap 'em all out at $20 a shot, but so far they aren't driving me crazy.

Honestly, I thought the UK version of Last Blade was loose like it is in the US, haven't seen a CIB copy in my brief searching. Good to know and yeah, i'd do that then UK version.

The CIB UK Faselei is pretty pricey - my thought was to possibly get the loose US version and put into a JP case, but on second thought, yr probably right, it would be the same cost after buying a CIB JP and loose US as just buying a CIB UK...and it would have the benefit of being all original of course.

Here is my Neo Geo Pocket collection so far......

Boxed and the bag is a must...

And the Games....


I hope to collect more but with the clamshell cases as I progress forward.

YAY! More NGPC love on the thread.

A solid collection btw. Love that Gals Fighter US cart (I just love Gals Figher anything ), and that transparent slim NGPC handheld.
