Won, this is outstanding!!
Since I live in Japan, I saw Nintendo Japan sign (no neon) which feel much nostalgic (made of wood or plastic). Your neon one is really cool and maybe "must get item" for real Nintendo collector.
Is there sometimes on ebay, or any other good way I might get?

Just a couple of comments to clear a some points up... THIS one IS a neon sign - unlike the cheap ones we've seen which are just operated with aflourescent tube I suspect (we were discussing whether those signs used neon and I thought that they probably didn't) Also, why do people keep calling plastic bags 'baggys' ? They are called bags! Where did 'Baggys' come from?! Andy p.s. Great find, David. It just shows that a bit of effort can pay off.

"Baggys" are what dealers call the little plastic bags to put their "stuff" in. I think it just caught on somehow... Just heard this somewhere - I'd have no idea myself pulse8

Andy, "baggy" originates from a reference to the plastic bags which drug dealers use to distribute cocaine or marijuana.

They do look like neon on the wall though! Michael
