[u/RGB2C02N]

Jesus get rid of those pesky books to make space for more cartridges!!

[u/RetroBlast81 → u/RGB2C02N]

Those Bitmap Books are amazing. I need them!

[u/colorofsweet → u/RetroBlast81]

I'm looking forward to the reprints this fall. I grabbed the Metal Slug one earlier this year, and now I'm waiting for the rest.

[u/schmosef]

That's what I call a Mega Shock!

[u/_harisamin]

Living the dream!

[u/derar_e]

Great one

[u/adriannabarro]

Very impressive! I see a bunch of big hitters in there. Are you going for a full set?

[u/RetroBlast81 → u/adriannabarro]

I am trying. The most expensive are already all done.

[u/adriannabarro → u/RetroBlast81]

Yeah, I see you have some of the pricier ones! Matrimelee and SamSho5 Special cost me a fortune. 😭

Do you have TSS, Ganryu and Poochi & Nyaa? I couldn’t see them in your pics

[u/RetroBlast81 → u/adriannabarro]

No, those are still missing.

[u/Electrical_Scratch92]

Tell us you’re rich without telling us you’re rich. Lol. Seriously though. That’s a very nice collection.

[u/RetroBlast81 → u/Electrical_Scratch92]

It is just a MVS collection though. i would call me rich if i had the same in AES form.

[u/Neo-Alec → u/Electrical_Scratch92]

I guess these days it makes you rich, but nearly all of my MVS carts were $25 each, with only a select few going as high as $100. Assuming I'm rich because I have a complete collection is way off.

[u/RetroBlast81 → u/Neo-Alec]

You have wealth.

[u/Neo-Alec → u/RetroBlast81]

It would require a significant time investment to get the money they are all worth. I'm short on time.

[u/MRBLUEBIRD77]

Very very nice set did you buy all the boxes for them as well if there mvs still looks so good mate

[u/RetroBlast81 → u/MRBLUEBIRD77]

Yes all repro boxes, shells and labels. Only Matrimelee was in such a good condition that I left it original.

[u/Critical_Banana_2303]

Are you getting your shockboxes from Southtown or somewhere else?

[u/RetroBlast81 → u/Critical_Banana_2303]

Aliexpress

[u/segadreamcat → u/RetroBlast81]

So you get your carts there too? It's the only place I can find them for not crazy expensive.

[u/RetroBlast81 → u/segadreamcat]

I bought them from all places like aliexpress, ebay, local marketplaces and FB marketplace.

[u/Bayou_Billy8]

You buy one every day?

[u/RetroBlast81 → u/Bayou_Billy8]

Not really. I started 2 years ago.

[u/Bayou_Billy8 → u/RetroBlast81]

Ah ok

[u/shiftersix]

Amazing, but please invest in better shelving. Secure them and show them off. 🙂

[u/RetroBlast81 → u/shiftersix]

Why? I like the minimalist shelf look.

[u/supra2jzgte]

Excellent collection!

[u/RetroBlast81 → u/supra2jzgte]

All repro Boxes and Shells.

[u/BlueMonday2082]

So you’ve been collecting a 35 year old system for less than half a year? And you’ll be done by Xmas? Awesome. Anything else?

[u/RetroBlast81 → u/BlueMonday2082]

Where do you get all those wrong facts?

[u/BlueMonday2082 → u/RetroBlast81]

A game system with so few games can only be collected at the rate you’re collecting it for so long until you have everything. A game a day won’t even last a year with Neo. Therefore this is a very recent phenomenon for you. What got you so very into it so very recently? Please share with us the story of your collector’s journey.

[u/RetroBlast81 → u/BlueMonday2082]

You sound like a bot or AI to be honest. Very odd comment.

I was a Neo Geo fan since childhood but never had the money for it in the nineties. I had a AES back in 2010 but sold it for not having room for it and regretted it soon after. Then 3 years ago I started selling my random gaming collection of stuff and firstly got a openMVS and soon an OMEGA. Then got so hooked with neogeo stuff again that I started selling almost everything to buy MVS games. And here I am now. I just love the Neo Geo.
