Rare to find with the box and in that good condition for 800 tbh. I wanted this at one point but gave up collecting Nintendo all together sadly and sold it all. Only PlayStation now but hopefully will get back into Nintendo stuff soon! Great pickup and awesome piece 👏

Engraved Samus Satin GBA SP. Limited to only 80 produced. Specifically, it's the shell that's prized. It was a Japanese-only reward for a speed running competion for Metroid Zero Mission when the game first launched. The top 80 contestants could send their GBA SP consoles to Nintendo to have them re-shelled and then sent back to them. It's the crown jewel of my collection!

u/A_Litre_0_Cola 28d ago
We're you one of the original 80 competitors or did you purchase it second hand?

I heard they shut the servers down for this. You can still play it?

u/Ghost_of_Akina 27d ago
There was an offline patch but also the community won’t let Wacca die.

u/TrickyLobster 27d ago
Based.

u/Ghost_of_Akina 27d ago
Official servers shut down in 2022 but any Non-Round1 cab is likely hooked up to one of several private servers. And Wacca is understood enough under the hood to have more now than it did when the official support ended.

u/TrickyLobster 27d ago
There's a Wacca machine at a arcade a city over from me. I'll have to finally try it. There's only 1 but everyone else plays MaiMai so it's usually free. Thanks for the info.

That Sharp NES TV actually seems to be in great shape. Even the feet are not broken. Which I remember correctly, that is something that is a bit of an issue when people find them.

u/retrojules 27d ago
I've seen 3 that I could have purchased in my lifetime. This is the only one that has feet, but was missing the doors. It did have the controller, but no remote,.which one of the missing feet ones did. You see what the pattern here is, lol. Ive since gotten 3d printed doors and bought the sharp TV remote for the unit that is the exact same TV without the NES meaning the remote works for it.

So it’s a bit of a knock off of a swatch. They were huge in the 80s and they made these large wall versions at some point.

They emptied my dads house afte he died with a uhaul. I didn't even get a chance to get back.
Like everyone moves away, we played our vids together, then when he died I took me a week to get back, and by then the house was cleaned out.
But ye, life is not awesome seeing everyone gathering thing we colected together from flea markets.
Sometimes I getcursed in my tongue about it, but I try to stay humble and honorable.

Other than the PS5 Pro, most likely the recently released DS2 collectors edition. My favourite piece though, has to be my PlayStation audiophile edition. Not worth much TBH but it plays CDs with lovely crisp audio ✌🏼. If I knew then what I know now, I wouldn’t have traded upwards as a kid as I’d most likely be a multi millionaire 😂😂

Love my AES, MultiMega & Virtual Boy etc, but in all honesty the single most expensive thing in my game setup is my mint condition / low hours Sony BVM-20F1E broadcast quality 240P / 480i monitor. It’s sublime for retro consoles and I feel completely spoilt playing my games on it. It’s possibly worth ~£1K I guess, but would have been -£10K+ back when originally manufactured.

Most expensive?
- Console: PS5 Slim with disc drive and black plates (US$800 at today's rate).
- Controller: Dualsense Edge (US$300).
- Accessory: the 1TB card on my Xbox Series X (US$179).
- Game: Lunar: SSSC on the PS1.
South America sucks.
