they are a little pricy but I may try it out.  It is like loot crate or nerd/arcade block but got retro games.

Hmmm... I may have to try this as well.

My cousin told me about this, still debating on it.

It seems they are maxed out on subscriptions, so there is a waiting list.
How much do they charge?

[TDIRunner]

I guess one only question is....... how much???

I couldn't figure that out since they are already maxed out. 

It's hard to way whether or not it's a good deal, but it's interesting.....

Interesting idea but i don't think it would be a good fit for me.

My collection currently sits at 1757 so my chances of receiving duplicates of games I already own would be rather high.

Good point. 

I'm not quite as high as you.  I'm just shy of the 1,000 mark, but I have a feeling I would run into the same problems as you.

I saw this a while back on another forum, it got debated a bit but general consensus was it probably wasn't good for a hardcore collector.  If you're just starting out, that's another story.

IIRC, it was either $30 or $35 a month, plus another $5 delivery if you weren't in the UK.  Marginally cheaper if you bought a 3-month or 6-month subscription.

They say on their site that you should tell them what games you have so that they won't send you doubles. So there's still a chance to get some good ones!

my collection currently sitting at a little over 3300 - i wonder if i tell them i only collect master system, and list the ones i already have, will they send me what i need to complete the set?  Interesting idea.

have signed up to be notified when subscriptions reopen.

[SegaNomadman]

Seems like you could do that. You can select systems and tell them what you have... This could be a good way to end up with a complete set.

yeah I would do it got the handhelds ( mainly GB or GBA), N64, and SNES since those systems I only have about  5 games for each of these systems.

[sheep2001]

or you could just go outside and buy the games.

well, what i was implying is that a lot of the master system games i need are expensive - so could be cheaper to do it this way.

Also - there is nowhere to buy the games anywhere near me.  I live in the middle of the countryside.  So it's pretty much ebay prices for me.

[oatmeal flavor]

I doubt they would send out high value games. I would consider this only if it was for games from a different region.  Maybe for Famicom or Super Famicom NTSJ games. I live in the United States.  I imagine there are a lot of great games that are common that I have never heard of.
