WTB: Working Robie Junior remote control & tray

Thu Oct 6, 2011 8:07 PM

Just scored a Robie Junior that I revived from the dead....Zombie Junior?.....and he's auto-controlling fine, but he didn't have a remote control nor the tray with him. Wondering if anyone out there has a working remote and tray to complete this little guy. :)

BOARD GAME EXTRAVAGANZA!

Thu Oct 6, 2011 10:16 AM

I've decided that my board game hoarding habits need to come to an end. I started snapping up board games via multiple channels because I was making a humorous blog about all the bizarre, strange, and downright cool board games out there, but now I've started school full-time on top of working full-time, which means no-time for board games! Disappointed as this makes me, as I'm missing out on some really cool stuff out there, my storage has gotten so packed full of these things I'll just never get the time to realistically play all of them and give them the good run-through they deserve. So it's time to pass it along in the hopes of helping out my storage situation.

Basically I'm narrowing down my collecting goals to the 3M, Avalon Hill, and other company bookshelf-style games. They're compact, easy to store, and all the games are fun -- I'll probably keep buying other stuff, but I'm severely narrowing down that scope as well.

The games vary in condition and 95% of them are complete, with 1 or 2 being incomplete. Due to the sheer mass of games I'm listing, it's going to take some time to go through them again and ensure everything is there. However, I did this when I first purchased them and if anything IS missing from them, it's a minor part that is easily replaceable. Anything that wasn't complete or near-complete didn't get purchased. When you express interest, I will go through it and take pics via PM of the contents of said game to show you what's there. Honestly, the rule of thumb here is assume everything is complete; I'm meticulous about what I keep in my collection so aside from I think 1-2 of these games they should be 100%.

I am willing to TRADE for any of these. If you are interested in trading, here's what I'm looking for: #1 the aformentioned 3M/Avalon Hill bookshelf games, #2 a 5200 system with games, #3 a C64 setup, and of course #4 digital money in the form of PayPal, LOL. I know this is not a board game site and I know these would move faster and do better via other channels such as BGG or eBay, but I figure a lot of members here are also interested in things like board games, so it can't hurt to list 'em here.

For prices, I am looking for $10 ballpark plus shipping for each of these with the exception of Hotels and Fireball Island, which will have listed prices. I say "ballpark" because I know prices on these vary a lot and some of them definitely aren't in the $10 range, so I'm willing to entertain offers on just about anything. I do know what should go for $10 though, so expect me to be firm on a couple of these, but honestly most of them for the $5-$7 range or less won't hurt my feelings at all. A couple are honestly $1 material, and I will gladly let those go for that. I will ship them by packing them in bubble-wrap and wrapping them with kraft paper; this is the most inexpensive yet safe way to ship these games, and I've done it for years without any problems. The varying size of boxes makes it nigh-impossible to find boxes to put them in.

Alright, I am currently taking pics of the boxes themselves for listing the titles, so bear with me for a while so I can get everything listed and we'll get started on this.

First up: Fireball Island by Milton Bradley. Game is with good shape box, all pieces, only thing missing is the instructions, which you can print out on Hasbro's site. I am asking $160 plus shipping for it.

Next: Hotels by Milton Bradley. Game is in fairly good shape box and is 100% complete. I am asking $65 plus shipping for it.

Everything else from here on out falls under the "ballpark rule".

Alright, that's it. This, of course, represents the more family game/bizarre-type stuff I've collected, so apologies for those of you thinking I was offloading my Euro stuff or my strategy stuff, I'll be keeping those. As I said, I know prices vary and marketplace shifts so I'm more than willing to entertain ANY OFFERS on these. Some of these games are hardly worth the shipping and price, so believe me, if you offer $1 I will probably take it for certain titles, though the bulk of them are worth the $5 range. As stated there are a couple in there that at $10 are actually really good bargains (though I won't state which games), and I do know which ones they are so if you offer $1 for 'em be prepared for a decline. ;)

My main motivation is to get this stuff out of my storage so I can start cleaning up all the other stuff I've got and have been working on. These are all cool games in themselves but they're not something I'm overly excited about when I look at, so I've kept all the stuff I really enjoy and am focusing my board game collection out of the bizarre realm and into the more "within my interests" realm. There really is some weird stuff in here, and this whole thing represents just 1 closet in my house and probably about 1 year's worth of collecting. Please PM me for additional information or pics, I'm more than happy to answer any questions. Thanks!

Palmtex/HomeComputer Software Super Micro

Thu Sep 8, 2011 5:45 PM

Picked this up today, couldn't find too much information about it out there. It's a HomeComputer Software, Inc. Super Micro console (what I assume is complete) in box. The console is what I gather is a Palmtex Super Micro console, despite the separate branding on the box. It's a funky little handheld game with interchangeable cartridges (supposedly, don't know if they made the other games, but the marketing photo on the box at least has 4 total games) and a light in the back for brightness adjustment. It is copyright 1983 from what I could gather from the information on the console and the box.

The system has the box, insert, little system instruction sheet, and the game ReactAttack and the light for the back of the system. The box is a little beat up but isn't too bad at all, say a 7/10? The console is in great shape aside from the battery door having some scratches, so the system has been used, but VERY gently. I placed batteries in to test and everything fires up and works great. The screen glass/plexi still has the original manufacturer sticker on it, and the console pieces both still have the original quality assurance inspection stickers on them.

From what little I found this appears to be the first console that had interchangeable cartridges, and they're basically the screen of the system. You place them inside the screen area and it plays, very interesting little concept. Anyway, does anyone know anything else about it? Were the other cartridges released? I'm also considering selling it so I'm interested in the value of the system on a collector market. Handhelds always fluctuate in value, so I'm never totally sure, and I doubt there's too many of these floating around with box and in such amazing shape. Pics attached! If you are interested in a buy, feel free to drop me an offer on it, I'm a fair weather type of handheld collector and don't really get too much into them, so I'm possibly interested in selling.

Wanted: Inky & Blinky TOMY Wind-Up Toys!

Mon Aug 29, 2011 3:54 PM

This is probably a long-shot, but does anyone have the INKY and BLINKY little TOMY wind-up toys from the Pac-Man set they made? I got a mint on card Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man today but want to complete the set. Let me know how much you want if you do have 'em. I'd prefer mint on card, but these little suckers seem pretty rare, so loose is always fine too. :) Thanks!

WANTED: Lot of Carts, Commons!

Wed Aug 17, 2011 9:58 AM

I need the following 15 carts for a project. They are all relatively common so I should be able to pick them up in a large lot. I need them ASAP and am willing to pay ASAP, of course. I will buy them individually if I have to, but I'd prefer them in a large lot for use. Carts need to be in good shape with clean, complete end labels and front labels and no scuffing, marks, or damage on the cart plastic itself. Here are the titles:

Adventure pic label
Asteroids
Combat
Defender
Warlords
Kaboom!
Keystone Kapers
Pitfall!
River Raid
Raiders Of The Lost Ark
E.T.
Bezerk
Centipede
Joust
Pacman

Please PM me if you have any of these carts or more specifically ALL of these carts. There really is somewhat of a sense of urgency on this project, as it's for a "client" and I'd like to get it done ASAP.

EDIT: Now just the three, Raiders, Keystone Kapers, and Adventure pic label.
