Blame my dad… “I got you the Master System for Christmas because I’m an engineer and it has better specifications than the NES alllllllll your friends have” lol
Fun fact my Master System and Game Gear both are labelled “Made in Hong Kong” I wonder when was the last time HK did any electronics manufacturing like this?
Since the handover from the UK to China, most manufacturing in HK shifted to Mainland China.

I didn’t know about the Kreo ones but I grabbed some of the $5 dollar store sets they’re great for the price but man do they not stick together well, putting them together is an incredibly tedious effort of putting something on and something else falls off and needing octopus arms to hold it all together lol!!
ya one of the boxes had a deformed part like it was partially crushed (fortunately not important part). they were hard to find, and then all of the sudden flooded all dollar stores to the point i had to stop myself from buying them lol..
kreo-o is much nicer - but it was part of a larger "dojo set" that had a martial arts base similar to the older lego castle set. scrapped all that, just wanted the tank, destro and baroness lol
Damn, amazing price! If you want it, I can pick it up for you and hold it for now. Just let me know!

i thought it was really cool that sega's controller ports were the same as commodore 64 so i was able to use a sega controller on my c64
I don’t think I ever played my game gear without the ac adapter, just ridiculous power requirements. I still have mine!
I had the Nomad, which apparently came out later but looks older somehow lol. It sucked batteries like mad so we usually used the wall adapter but the capabilities were pretty nuts when you think about it. Being able to play full console games, and hook to a TV, and have a port for a second controller, it's pretty dang impressive. I don't think anything else could do that til the Switch came out.
On a side note I've also got all my old consoles on white shelves so for half a second I thought that was one of my pictures lol.

My god, how big is your place such that you have so much display space?!

You must be pretty excited for the Goonies pirate ship that comes out next Tuesday.
For those who display Lego sets out in the open, what do you do to keep them clean?
Lots of dusting!! But if you’re on top of things, it’s not too bad.
I take a can of compressed air and a hand held vacuum to 1/4 of the collection weekly and it only takes 15mins.

I’m not actually. I never watched the movie as a kid and it didn’t age well for me to rewatch it as an adult. Plus I don’t think it looks that good.
I’m just waiting for someone to sell the new black pearl and one piece ship at a good price.
