The Revenge of the Post Here When You Get Something New thread

I can either -

• Pay the full £18
• Find my own courier to pick it up from him
• Have a full refund.

I've asked him why he can't just send it Royal Mail (and hopefully he'd do so)

Can't see it being more than an additional couple of pounds to send on to the North.

If he can't then I'll be getting a refund. So no great loss, other than not getting the boxes!

I think it was FrancoB who posted the link originally? He had them all lined up on a shelf.

Here we go, they're the white ones. PCBs names are on the side, so could see how big those games are as a comparison to your existing ones.

I have a friend that works for a stationary company that might sell these, he is going to check for me. might work out cheaper if they do.

I had the same problem a while ago. As far as i know the UK is the UK and at most NI will just cost a few bob extra

Ask the seller if they have a saddle for sale aswell, because they are trying to ride you.

I think I might have done a terrible thing, something that will scar me for life and mar my reputation here in Boards, perhaps undermining my authority on games and almost certainly disgracing me, I apologise in advance and beg your forgiveness
I will post details tomorrow, when I have recovered some modicum of self esteem and the ability, once again, to look at myself in the mirror....

Is there a new CD-i owner on boards?

CiDeRmAn

Actually almost, there's one going for feck all in the south and the only thing stopping me from getting one is that I'm not in the south, and I don't think your allowed to move sh1te through the postal system!

No, this is much, much worse

afaik it's the same price posting anywhere in the UK even to NI I've never heard of it being any extra.
It's European Royal Mail prices when sending to the here though.

It's a weird one alright! He tried Royal Mail but said it was too big and heavy to post with them (!)

Just getting a refund at this point!

Sellers shouldn't be making it so awkward, they're lucky to have customers in the first place like.

Some new bits from the past few weeks:



Tingle and GTA4: Episodes from Liberty City were 5euro each market finds. That's good. GTA4:EP has some light laser burn and won't play. That's bad. Tingle is in great shape and the Nintendo points card, although expired, is unscratched. That's good.
I wanted to play some more Rayman after completing Jungle Fever on mobile but Rayman Legends new release price tag is too much at the moment.

Also picked with the Freedom Edition of Assassin's Creed III on sale in Gamestop. I didn't want to spend 100euro on it when it came out but on sale...



Now all I need to do is hunt down the special edition from the first assassin's creed game...

Shapey Fiend

Jesus I'd love a Bomb Jack PCB. What sort of scores are you clocking and what do you think of the sequel?

Love your storage solution PCBs can get a bit dusty sitting loose.

I just sent off the money for a copy of Splatter house on the MD...
and for a copy of Streets of Rage 2

I have that Master Assassin Ezio statuette too, love it! Regret not getting the Connor one, as it looks great, but the one for Black Flag is the best looking of the lot so far:


Bear in mind, if you do get the Altair one, it's a good bit taller than the others.

Ugh, am disappoint. I thought it was going to be something actually bad, like selling on your MOVE kit in order to raise funds to buy a MOVE kit...

If Atavan comes back from his holidays saying he's become a pioneer you'll know it's the end.

That edition is different to the one I saw in Gamestop:


The store clerk somewhat ruined the statue by saying "he looks like he's parading around a stripper pole." Now that's all I see when I look at it. It's like the Resident Evil 6 logo now...
The Freedom Edition of ACIII with Connor Statue is €30 in Gamestop at the moment.

Yeah, the one with just the deck segment is the one I saw too. Think that's the "Bucaneer edition" as opposed to the one with the prow of the ship + figurehead being the "Black Chest edition". Probably different areas getting different versions.
Of course, there's also this one, which I believe is a separately available one.:

Just picked up two bargains there from Retropolis. Castle of Illusion and Quackshot double cart for 12 on the megadrive and a US copy of Megaman X for a tenner.

Just to add, damn you, as I had to order that, despite already owning the game...

Straight after he buys Golden Axe:). I thought it was going to be a lot worse tbh, something of biblical proportions. Like Atavan giving up the drink or Retro falling in love with 50hz and renouncing the CD-i.

Now hold on there one cotton picking minute boy...
I never said I was going to like it, I just said I'll own it... like Retr0 owning big boy pants... or LoD!
Of course, if its as sh1te as I remember it, you're all gonna die. ..

I'm still convinced you're never actually played SOR 2 :P

Just back from the night in Thomss House, picked up the following
Dr Mario for the Famicom and a boxed with inserts and manual copy of Area 88/UN Squadron for the Super Famicom, and all for only €10, which was quite nice!

Retr0gamer

Oh I own, LoD in all it's 50Hz ****tiness. Never forget!

Returned to the job this morning to find Pikmin for the Wii waiting for me, only a tenner on Adverts, and a new remote for the Trini in the games room, my old one is for parts only at this stage.
I'm still waiting for a load of stuff, including Super Mario RPG for my Snes and, unfortunately, SoR2
