    I quite like the western mvs cabinets, have wanted one for ages but the ones i always see on eBay are collection only plus don't really have the space for one anyway.

    I think the Neo19 is my fave neo cab though:

    Delicious.

      Oh god, I've started a war!!!!

      KusoGaki, I would avoid ebay for cabs if you're looking to buy one. They are always overpriced and you'll get much better after sales advice and help if you buy from a reputable seller on a forum. JAMMAplus.co.uk and ArcadeOtaku.com seem to be the best ones around. They also have contact details for a load of couriers around the UK who would deliver for a pretty reasonable fee (mine was £95 from South Wales to Brighton).

      I know nothing about cabs but everyone I spoke to on each of those sites was really friendly and helpful. There are even a few NTSC-uk posters on there. It's definitely worth checking them out and if you give it enough time I'm sure you'll find what you are looking for.

              Very nice

              This is all Kernow's fault! I never knew about AO until he mentioned it.

                  Nice cab.

                  Oh and Bubble Bobble

                  Comment


                    The Bubble Bobble is a jap bootleg. I paid about £150 for it a year or so ago in advance for the cabinet.

                    Although in my hunting, I have seen official Taito boards going for around the £300+ mark. But, I can guarantee there are a handful on Yahoo Auctions JP for about £150, if you have contacts, it might be worth a look.

                            Just need Diddy Kong Racing to complete Rare's N64 set. Seems like an odd one to leave til last, but we've had a heck of a time finding a PAL AU one that doesn't look like a dog's breakfast or isn't Player's Choice. Quite like the plastic protector the seller had on it, might get a few for my other N64 and SNES games.

                              Make sure you carefully open that box and play it, Blast Corps is one of my very favourite N64 games, even if it's impossible to beat. I still need Mickey's Speedway USA and Conker ($$$) for my Rareware set. Buying Goldeneye confused me the most. I'm sure it has at least 3 box variants in Australia (w/rumble, w/out rumble pak and players choice). I've also seen a strange AU Perfect dark with Expansion Pak set.

                                My first two MVS carts, and they were my two most wanted! Mark of the wolves and metal slug. Now I just need the cab!
