December 2014 stuffs, Christmas time is here again!

[Megatron]

So the same guy I bought the Nintendo Power issues from yesterday emailed me again today.  He said he had some N64 games and boxes for sale if I was interested.  This time, though, he gave a price - $400.  I was a little thrown back, as that is A LOT to pay for N64 games of all things.  But then he sends me the list of what's included...so despite my better judgement, I said "what the hell?"

Game boxes are all in great shape with very little ceasing or damage.  Only one or two stickers present.  All boxes include manuals, inserts and all original packaging, including the plastic sleeve for the game








Games include 29 total.  All for the boxes above as well as some additional titles. - Not shown Ocarina of Time






He also included some original, with tags, Nintendo Collectibles form the Nintendo Store in 1997




Oh and one more game...

When he sent you a list of the games did he list the Sculptor's Cut as just Clay Fighter, or did you know you were getting Sculptor's Cut when you bought it?

My december pick ups.


I got Pokemon Alpha Sapphire, Pokemon Platinum, and Pokemon Black 2 this month.  That completes this!  While taking this picture I noticed how random the covers I have on my pokemon games are.  Crystal, firered, and Leafgreen are from one series and everything else is from another.  Kind of annoys me but I kind of want to make Nintendo 3ds styled cases for the entire franchise rather than correcting the ones I got.  This might get put off until I finish up all the N64 covers I need (Up to 17 games I need to make covers for )



Also got a couple of nicer N64 games.  I owned Inferanl Machine on the PC when I was a kid but my computer wasn't good enough at the time to run it.  Kind of looking forward to playing it on the N64.

Other pick ups not pictured, Wave 1 and 2 of Amiibos.  Everyone knows what those look like, don't really need to take pictures of it.

The following N64 games, nothing exciting but it fills some holes in my collection.
All-Star Baseball 99
Basshunter 64
Bassmaster 2000
Elmo's Number Journey
Fighter's Destiny
Madden 99
NASCAR '99
NFL QBClub 2000
NFL QBClub 2001
Virtual Pool 64
Waialae Country Club True Golf Classics
World Driver Championship

In the original list (before we talked price) that he emailed me it just said Clay Fighter.  But in the follow up email which detailed which had boxes, he noted it was Sculptor's Cut.  I don't know if I would have jumped at $400 if it wasn't.  I just attached the second email that he sent me.

Dude, see if that guy has any more stuff to unload before he gets too wise to what he has!

[Megatron]

Yeah he was a college kid at one of the Universities here.  he said he sold all his stuff a while back, but the Nintendo Powers and the N64 games were at his mom's, so they had to wait.  He had some basic DVDs, but nothing else that was interesting or stood out.  Too bad I wasn't around for the original haul.

Would you be able to scan the boxes and N64 labels? Thanks

[Megatron]

All of them?  OK, but with the holidays this could take a while.  Any ones you want/need ASAP that I can do first?

If you could do that would be great. At the moment the few labels scan I am looking for are.
007 Goldeneye
Diddy Kong Racing
Cruis'n World
Harvest Moon 64
Starfox 64

[Megatron]

yeah, doing all of them is no problem. I just want to let you know that this is a very busy time of year both personally and professionally. So I will jump on the ones you specified, and will do the others here and there over the next few weeks. Once the New Year hits things calm down, so if they're not all done by then I will have plenty of time to finish them.  if any others come to mind that you would like ASAP, feel free to PM me and I will make those a priority. If not, I will just do them in the order they are currently stacked.

Those raw covers are all up on the site. No need to scan boxes unless the existing covers are crummy scans.

Welcome to the club, Blumpkin. I see you're already familiar with our not-so-secret headquarters: http://www.thecoverproject.net/forums/index.php?topic=17870.msg160308;topicseen#new

I've only purchased two, one of them being Little Mac, who is awesome. I'm looking forward to some future releases though.

Last couple days I've gotten:

CPS-2 A-board (Green)... which I technically bought back in September or October or something like that.  Shipping by sea from Japan takes a long time.

Altered Beast and Rolling Thunder for the NES (My collection, it grows!)
Castlevania: Chorus of Mysteries (CV1 hack)

... those 3 games (and NES Double Dragon, but I already have one of those so it'll be trade fodder) came as a bundle with my holy grail:

Component Modded NES Toploader

This is my 4th toploader (2 stock, 1 composite modded), and will be my last.  I'm so happy.  The only thing that could make it better would be if it had 5 RCA jacks instead of 3 for the video and a TRRS jack for the audio (with pseudo-stereo mod too), but there's not really enough room for 5 jacks on the back of a toploader, so I get why it's done that way.

I had a bunch of case notes to catch up on before the holidays, so I got a little scan happy in between reports.  So I scanned and uploaded all of the labels 600 dpi desceen (excluding damaged or bad labels) to my scans post here:
