Last Blade shock box insert request

Zerrminator · Jul 19, 2008

Is anyone still making Shock Box inserts?

I'm looking for a proper US style Last Blade 1 shock box insert. The closest one on Southtown is not the proper format and isn't Southtown approved.

Big Bear? NeoCverA??

I created a Last Blade long ago but now that I look at the image, the quality was not really up to snuff. I can make a new one sense I have access to the physical insert and I will try to make it available this week. If I haven't updated this thread by Thursday, BUMP IT please as I've been making alot of empty promises in regards to picking this back up and I need a nudge.

Please help fuel my addiction, some new shockbox inserts would be awesome.

Zerrminator · Jul 19, 2008

Awesome, thanks so much Big Bear. Your inserts pretty much make up my entire collection, top quality all the way. Here's a recent photo that shows the Last Blade 1 insert compared to the others. Middle row, 4th cart in.

If you do have time I'm also looking for a Metal Slug X - US in BLUE to make my collection of Slugs complete.

To be frank I'm a full frontal whore, but seeing all them US repro's spines makes me understand why some people bother with this flare of the original inserts, the grey still looks tops..

The spines are tops, but it's just I dunno, I really like the covers of the full frontals, they're like Bam! right on your face. I guess I'm torn between the 2. The Neo lifestyle can be a burden.

Seeing that Garou insert in Classic-Style hurts my soul.

Good luck with that, I uploaded my final WHP insert and it never made it. Apparently the upload thingie is whacked out.

Xian Xi · Jul 20, 2008

Oy, still not working?

When Eric was running it I had to FTP the files onto the server, the submit form never worked back then either.

This looks proper! Is there any way of letting some ofthose flames from the cover invade the spine in a subtle way, also a bit from the back art would be nice, kind of like a blend of the 2 meeting into the red of the spine just to make it seemless.

Excellent work!

For sure. I'm like you, though, sort of torn between the two.

Being that I'm still new to the MVS game, I've yet to start getting shockboxes and coverart, but I know exactly how you feel. I wasn't a big fan of the grey when I first saw it, the full covers just looked so much better. But now seeing Zerrminator's shelves is really making me start to think differently.

Zerrminator · Jul 21, 2008

That's the best thing about owning an MVS collection. You get to decide what inserts you want. I myself wanted to get something that looked close to OEM and I just like how easy it is to read all of the game logos with the grey spines.

Electric Grave · Jul 21, 2008

I'm with you on the easy read of the grey spines and the best point ever made while talking about MVS; it's all up to you! That is why I love MVS so much more than the console in every sense of the word.

MVS only looks as good as you wanted to be and that felxibility is somehitng rarely given by any other system.

Zerrminator · Jul 23, 2008

Yeah I don't see your new Last Blade insert up there either. I just sent an email to southtown to see what's up.

BIG BEAR · Jul 24, 2008

I should have it completed by Sunday.
I will host it on my server.

very nice, the colors are much more vibrant than the others.

Zerrminator · Jul 27, 2008

Wow, that looks awesome! The colors really make a big difference.

Thanks Big Bear!

Wow, nice and really vibrant colors. Just make sure you blend the black in the back and make it the same black. The edges where you cut it on the left bottom and right sides are visible.

What PC are you waiting to get dude?

Zerrminator · Jul 27, 2008

Nice catch, I can probably fix that up myself in PS.

BIG BEAR · Jul 28, 2008

*UPDATE* fixed.

Good eye indeed. I will fix that. No problem. I must have removed or turned off a layer by accident.
What am I waiting on? Just an external storage device..
Thanks.

Sorry guys, it has some limitations and bugs that we never resolved when Eric transferred everything over to me. If you can host them, I can grab them, and I can make .JPG previews for the site. You can email them if small enough to southtown@mac.com -- or use rapidshare or other similar sites. Insert creation is so rare right now that it's a secondary priority behind getting international shipping corrected.

PM here, email, host and link, whatever you do, I'll grab them. You can also email special requests.

We do resize non-approved inserts if you want as well, and we are sizing 37.5cm x 21cm inserts for AES cases or 33cm x 21cm for clamshells if you'd like.
