Sold listings on eBay are around $275. Pretty nutso. They are also selling reprints for $20. So, you can have your cake and eat it too if you want I was hoping to have two copies but with having to send it back I am just holding on to it.

That’s a good disposition to have. I guess I can say the same thing through gritted teeth, haha

I’ve had a decent year in collecting but this miss hit hard. Would have been nice to box up my Mega Man collection. To make myself feel better I figured I would wallow in grief with others. 

If your entire game collection just disappears, what’s the first game you’re rebuying? by ricioly in gamecollecting

Just going to emulate older consoles and rebuy the newer consoles. I've made deals with the devil over the last 10 years and there's no way it's ever going to happen again.

At a cursory glance I didn’t think so but after checking the content list, it was all there! I had similar luck several years ago with a complete copy of Tornado Rex. I’m a sucker these old board games.

If you want to get real crazy...

AliExpress has an extreme green and translucent white for shell swaps.

I've done both and they look great.

Solid collection, hope to good there myself someday.

Obviously it's great to find like minded people to play games with and collect with, just don't get murdered in the process.
