Find of the Month (January)

Well the ending of last month will be one to remember as I was able to find lots of incredible new additions to my ever growing collection. I was not only amazed by the copy of Tactics Ogre, but also satisfied by the PS1 with LCD screen! The mega find of the minty and probably never used R.O.B. will also be engraved in my mind as well as the Power Joy cart I found the last day of the month. Either way, it was real tough to pick a winner but R.O.B. took it in the end. Not only hard to find, but hard to find boxed and still in its packaging! I always wanted to have one of these and would have been happy with just the robot missing its many parts but I never expected to find one in such a great condition and still with new NES smell!



Furthermore, the hunt for this peripheral is finally over and I couldn't be any happier to have it in my possession even though I'm not a hardcore NES fan. Well not much to say about this neat little find as many of you know how it works and what it is used for. I might try to make it pick up a beer like those youtube videos you've seen around....

Definitely R.O.B. ftw! There was a guy on nesforums a week ago that talked about how proud he was to talk a seller down from $1500 to $470 for a sealed ROB set like yours, then he opened it. I had to point him at your blog to show that you got the same thing for $35. Lol Fail for him!
