Ok I’ve redone the scans. They’re at least acceptable now, without that rainbow effect.

That would be great, I’d love to see the manual translated! I’ll see if I can get you some better scans real soon.

I received the mod chip in the mail for my Playstation, so todays plan is to get that all soldered in and try the game out.

Really cool idea. I like the character roster, so fitting!

V10000033

Appears to be retail Japanese unit. Just bought from ebay, needed a second unit for link cable stuff.

That’s horrible! Curse you, Gamestop! *Shakes fist*

I do use adblocker, but I don’t want to add another “view” to the video.

Not that one single view really matters in a world where crap like this has throngs of fans, but it’s a principle

If this has anything to do with the title of the thread then I’m not watching it.

This is the sort of dumb shit some Youtubers do for views, I’m not going to give them what they want. I ain’t a clicker of click bait.

That’s a pretty epic GBC Sewing machine. I like how tailor made for the gbc it is

Lol, just a bit of Engrish =P

If that’s real that’s a really cool find!

I’m pretty sure Paypal holds the money for 60 days for new accounts, or until confirmed delivery. As long as the people don’t wait over 60 days to complain when it doesn’t arrive the guy won’t get any money. At least that’s how I remember it when I first sold stuff on ebay.

I think I’m gonna pick up the basic set. Haven’t been super into labo but the VR definitely looks cool.

I don’t have any input, but it was cool to see you on the latest AVGN episode!

Being cardboard Nintendo has always promoted customising your projects. I’ll be coloring mine red =D

Congrats man, good job!

This is awesome, good job, guys!

Very interesting, thank you for the insight. It’s cool to hear recollections of how various stores displayed these. I don’t recall the stores in my area even going as far as busting out the SNES pads, they literally just didn’t advertise it. I remember kiosks for SNES, N64, Dreamcast, but absolutely nothing for the Virtual Boy.

No worries. I am curious though, you mention a cardboard sign, are you talking about the tall one in your auction?

My thought is maybe EB cheaped out when the VB came out, if they were using SNES Mouse pads and a portion of the VB display signage, rather than buy an actual VB display.

When VB was on the retail shelves in the US, the video game retailer Electronics Boutique would display the VB unit on their counter tops using the gray hard plastic tray and two sided cardboard sign. Thus its being listed as that. I never knew it was previously the SNES mouse pad. Thanks for pointing that out!

That’s funny, I guess if they had it kicking around why not.

You might want to clarify in your listing though, there is an actual Virtual Boy display base exclusive to Japan that routinely goes for $1000+.

What’s up with the SNES mouse pad? Is that the “grey plastic store display base”?
