My buddy is seriously jelly that I have this too. He wants one sooo bad now. I always make sure to send him a text EVERYTIME I pick something up something new for it, just to rub it in a little! ;) Sitting at 25 games now I believe. Not bad considering I only started with the 4 that came with it back in September. One more on the way too!
Wait till I'm totally finished with this thing. Still wanna build a custom shelf that matches the MVS Cabinet for the games, and get the seat pads on the stools I bought re-upholstered in matching red with the MVS logos. Then even the die hard Neo Geo fans will be envious because they didn't come up with the idea on their own! ;D
I'll snap some photos of the whole set up whenever I get there...

Yeah, that's where I picked up my Ironclad reproduction cart. But I actually just rebuild all the labels myself to exact retail (match serial numbers etc.) and take them down to a office store down the street and get them to print them on label paper, then just cut them out myself at home. Saves me the wait, and to be honest they actually come out looking more like the originals then the labels made over at Jamma Nation X IMO because of the label paper the office store uses. I already replaced the label on my Ironclad cart with one of my own. The label you see on the MVS boxes are actually printed labels I printed and slapped on some MVS reproduction boxes I bought. Can't even tell the difference other than the fact that the new labels still haven't yellowed over time yet...

I got it from here, I'll tell you how the order goes. You do have $80 you did not have before. ;)
I just realized I signed up with the wrong email, so I can't check the order status, but it is paid for. I sent them a email wit specific things about the order to prove it was me, hopefully i can fix that. If not it should come in by the end of the week.

Just some advice for when Link comes in, be sure to run his hand under hot water before you put the sword in it. The plastic is pretty stiff and I've heard the hand can snap under enough force. Running it under hot water for a few seconds beforehand will allow the plastic to soften and stretch a little more freely so you can get the sword in hand safely. When it cools down, it will stiffen right back into place.
And thanks for remembering the Challenger scans! Looking forward to them! :)

Thanks for the tip! If I like the link figure, I may get Pit and Samus.
I'll get the scans as soon as I can.
