That’s a really cool story. You must feel really happy getting one after so many years. Mine’s sorta lame but, when I first discovered the VB (I can’t remember where, maybe AVGN) I wanted one because it such an odd system. I searched on Amazon and saw how much they were and how little came with the system.
Around Valentines Day 2012 my dad came and picked me up from school and told me he found something. He pulled out of the bag the Virtual Boy (head set, stand, controller, battery pack,VB Wario Land) and I nearly shit my pants. He got it for $20.
When I got home I tested it and found out the left eye didn’t work at all. Even with that set back I was still really happy. While cruising my local flea market I found another one this one had the visor and 3 games. After some haggling I got it for $40. Now I had a complete working one and everything was great. 🙂

My VB is going downhill fast… first lines on one eye. Then lines on the other eye. Then the right eye having stronger light at times. Then the right eye going “mirror mode” with itself… freaky stuff. I can’t fix it myself… guess I’ll have to find another one 🙁
I just bought a screw driver to fix one and the screw driver won’y fit down the last 4 holes to open the system up. There’s a way to make you’re own with a pen but the pen better be REALLY strong to act like a screw driver.
