April 2013 pickups! Get some!!!

[redsox2012]

this one? - went to check my own collection lol

That's the game.  Like I said, you can't tell from looking at the cartridge which version it is, so you might have to check out a few levels.  First, if a Spider-Man license screen appears before the title screen when you turn the game on, it's a later revision as Sega licensed Spider-Man afterwards.  If you have a Game Genie, start at level 6-3 and you'll be battling Spider-Man.  After a few hits, he'll be replaced by Batman.  If that happens, it's an original.  If the Batman character has been altered to look like a winged devil, it's a revised version.  Or, you can check level 3-1.  If the guys with flamethrowers have long hair and headbands (like Rambo), it's an original.  If they're bald, it's a revision.

Yeah, apperently theres 4 different revisions. Found this on DigitalPress.

* Software revision 1.00 (1989): Bosses clearly resembling The Terminator (The Hulk when nearly defeated), Godzilla, Spider-Man, and Batman are present. Both Spider-Man and Batman are actually fake representations of themselves conducted by someone able to morph into his shape when enough damage is inflicted.
 
* Software revision 1.01 (1989): Batman is replaced by a bat-like mutant, but The Terminator/Hulk, Godzilla, and Spider-Man remain unmodified, the latter still morphing into the bat-like creature when defeated. Enemy soldiers with flamethrowers are also changed to bald men with headbands away from their original likeness to Rambo.
 
* Software revision 1.02 (1990): The fake Spider-Man is now redesigned into the licensed character from Marvel Comics, acknowledged by a copyright notice (Sega was also developing The Amazing Spider-Man vs. The Kingpin at the time). Since he is now the real Spider-Man, he doesn't morph into a bat-like shape and actually leaves the battle when enough damage is inflicted, with a separate bat-like mutant entering to replace him. The Terminator/Hulk and Godzilla still remain intact.
 
* Software revision 1.03 (1990): Godzilla is replaced by a skeletal dinosaur. Everything else remains intact from the previous revision, including the licensed use of Spider-Man. The Terminator/Hulk was still the same and he has never been affected by copyright issues because of resemblances with the real characters. This version was used in the Genesis 6-Pak cartridge.The Hulk may have not changed because of Sega having the Spider-man license.

Mine, unfortunetly is one of the last two revisions, havent checked to see yet. But I remember trading a really beat up copy to a friend, so maybe that could be an original, Ill have to check next time im there. I do know there is one way to tell the difference between older copies and Sega Classic copies tho. With my experience, most the Sega Classics releases Ive come across seem to have shiny laminated labels indicating a later production as where the older ones (like most older release genesis labels) are unlaminated. Might not be able to tell over a ebay photo but at least if you ever see one in person with a nice shiny laminated label, chances are its a Sega Classics revision.

Very happy about this pickup that came today, finally got the entire collection that I know I can possibly obtain. Red Pikmin (leaf type) should be here by tomorrow.

Olimar ($200+ ebay) and Louie are too rare, so I'll just pretend they don't exist, if anything I got all the creatures.

The Bulborb is hollow, so you can actually store some Pikmin inside his belly lol, that's cute.



lol, pikmin trying to save his Purple comrade!

[oatmeal flavor]

2 sega cd games

Keio: flying squadron
The Space adventure

Almost done with the rare sega cd games.  Still need Radical Rex and NBA hangtime 95.

[RealPlumpBox]

Went to Half Price Books and picked up limited edition Soul Calibur 2 Strat guide W/ soundtrack, and The history of Street Fighter.  Both  for a total of 12 bucks!!!

I love the store for strat guides.  They are used but usually cheap.  They have tons from psx/N64 to current gen.

A friend of mine has most of the set, I think, Not sure If he has the Bulborb, but I'm fairly sure he has Olimar and Louie. I think he got them quite a while ago.
I hate how expensive plushies can be, I tend to avoid them, I got a Bowser Jr and Mario from Nintendo World, A Sonic Warehog one and that's about it.

[BadChad]

I picked up a cool Crash Bandicoot plushoe from a thrift store about a month ago for $3. Finding them at thrift stores is pretty much the only time I pick them up, and if their video game related. I only have about 4.

[madrocsz]

seeing those pikmin plushes reminds me of a few years back trying to get the earthbound figures (which I never did) they are still retarded expensive

Can you take a picture of that Crash Bandicoot plush? Is it the one with the thick furry eyebrows? Surprised you can find plushes in a thrift shop. Was the plush dirty?

I didn't know the Nintendo store carried plushies, I'll have to stop by when I am in NY. Is there a way for you tell what brand they are? They should of be Global Holdings or Sanei, can you check? Yeah stuff is expensive.

Yeah the Mother 2 figures from Banpresto that came from Crane games. They are expensive.

retarded expensive

I got them over a year ago but they might still have them, The tag was in Japanese, I see a Sanei website on it.
Both were under $20, Medium, Mario is around a foot tall.

After some research:
THIS VIDEO Shows Mario plushes are still there, but gone up from $17 to $20
A picture on the Nintendo World site shows some Bowser Plushies, I wanted one but I remember hearing they sold out fast.
I remember Toad, DK, Yoshi and Luigi too, and a couple more characters.

MK4 and MKTrilogy for n64 loose - $7 ($3.50 each)
Super Mario Land 2- 50 cents
