BOXFUL FROM THE PHILLIPPINES ;D Oh boy, what a lot of information to put here! Well, let's start with some pictures: At first Emily is unimpressed. Then daddy explains that this box has travelled 4000 miles. We have her attention. Upon realising the exact nature of the box's contents, Emily can't wait to see inside. Some tupperware for mummy. Now we're all happy! Pointless second picture of tupperware (reverse angle). Box1 - the goodies..... Box2 - the "lucky the boxes came with the other games" pile ;D I'll go through the nitty gritty (contents info) this afternoon. The two extraordinary facts are that *most* games come with english instructions (including flagman, of course ) but also nearly every BOX has a serial number! Quite a stash..... More to follow

Ok,
Let's get started on the lowdown: Part 1 - Silvers and Golds

Ball - Box (c9- no serial on box, small amount of writing on back only), Foam (c9.5 clean), Game c7 (orig. BC/no serial/ mild crystal bleeding)
Flagman - Box c9.5 (Clean/serial number: 0026420/nice!), Foam (c9.5 clean), Game c9 (serial: 00264193, orig BC, major crystal bleeding drags down to c5, but repairable), English instructions (c9 clean = no writing).

Judge (purple) - Box + Foam only (Box c8 - would be c9.5 except for sticker damage on front ) Foam c8.5 (complete but some dirt).

I can't be bothered to do the rest! Basically the boxes are c8.5 + mostly, and most have english instructions, although the snoopy tennis has japanese inserts (rare?) including instructions. The DK and DK 2 Multiscreens are interesting because it is the first time I have EVER seen humidity-damage/crystal bleeding in multiscreen games LOL! And in case I didn't make it clear ALL the games work (even the ones with major problems...) ;D God knows how I'm going to go about selling them all! (The one's I'm not keeping that is...) I'm glad I won this auction (I was intrigued), but I haven't got away with the bargain of the century. Please PM me regarding items you are interested in. God Bless.

Hahaha! Great photos with your daughter Jon! :biggrin:
I'm interested in a couple of items. Please check my thread in the buy/sell/trade forum and let me know what you've got! If you won't separate games, paperwork etc. let me know what you've got and I'll make an offer.

Finally after months of faffing about (well, work & daughter have taken priority) I have taken pictures of my "New widescreen" games and added them to my website (Andy Cole was the only one who spotted that they were missing - Or at least he was the only one who asked me about it ): gameandwatchnow.com/mygames.phpIf you can be bothered to read my latest "news" it will save me the trouble of repeating myself here. I have not turned my back on tabletops completely, but I will only be interested in purchasing c10 examples. It'll be a tough job I know! ;D

Hello fans, Well, I've been "away" for nearly 3 months, and I must say the break has done me good. There's nothing like tedious hard work to really make you appreciate the valuable things in life - Food + Game & Watch - What more does a man need? Anyhoo, I've tinkered a little with the "links" page on my website: www.gameandwatchnow.com/links.phpIf any of you crazy cats would like me to add you to the list, I would be only too happy to do that. As you will see, I have also provided "idiot-proof" HTML code that you can use in *your* site to link to my site. How magic is that? Better watch out - coz Jon WTW is back (until I run out of money). ;D ;D BTW - Does anyone have an idea how I can stop spam on my guestbook? - I've noticed a serious increase in the crud that's being left there (and I'm not talking about Devster)
