i helped a buddy move his 3 4-slot cabs and his gold cab into his 2nd floor apartment over the weekend. he's got like 60 kits, i think? it's impressive. he has windjammers.

how rare is windjammers? i hear people talk about it all the time but i feel like i've seen it frequently.

I don't see Windjammers up for sale much at all and when it does it is gone almost instantly, I bought mine from a guy in spain for 60 euros or about $80 but expect to pay over $100 for it now.

Seems decently hard to find, plus it's just a really fun game IMO.

Aaron if you come across Stakes Winner 2 or Aero Fighters 3 in your flipping I will gladly buy them off you.

Fast, I got Stakes Winner 2 at $28 (plus shipping), so $33 to your door, in the group buy before last. Let me know if you want me to grab you one.

Windjammers is pretty common, but it's a really popular party game. Windjammers, Magician Lord, Ninja Commando and a few others have really spiked with the recent CMVS market growth.

You guys are right on the 4 games:
2020 - $40-45
ML - $100
CS - $35-40
Super Spy - $50-60

my main motivation for picking that one up is the 4-slot board in it. my cab is a 4-slot V3 but it came with a 2-slot board and it's missing the headphone jacks/memory card slot. the monitor would be nice also since my cab has a zenith TV in it still.

Good night, can't believe Magician Lord is going for $100!

Mjmjr25, we can talk when I get back from vacation. My wife is in love with Stakes Winner 2 and Puzzle Bobble - she plays both every night, even if she cant beat the third race of Stakes Winner.

So I gotta ask, are these prices reasonable? Or are there better cheaper ways to get an MVS to play at home? Also, does anyone have experience with that alexipress site?

I had a good experience with Aliexpress (bought a 161 cart) and a bad experience as well (bought a 138 cart which was DOA). I went through the "arbitration process" with the seller (which was long and drawn out) and they ultimately determined that since I was using a CMVS (not a cabinet), then I wasn't using "original hardware". So no refund.

how were you using the 138 in 1 on a CMVS? doesn't that one require a Jamma daughterboard so you can't really use it on a CMVS unless you replace the daughterboard with dipswitches?

Yes, the 138 has a daughterboard. My CMVS (at the time) had the jamma connection exposed (many of the 1 slot models do), so you set your DIPs on the daughterboard, plug it in, and away you go... unless you're me.

But when you get into the "less than savory" market of mulitcarts, you're asking for this sort of thing to happen sooner or later...
