I'm sending mine back today.


There are a couple defects in the screen under the plastic coating. Kinda like trapped dust.

Overall build quality is decent.


I might have them ship me another. I dunno.

It's typical with these. Mine is the same. Has two or three dust particles here and there . You'll be really lucky if you get one without any.

Ahh Star Soldier. One of my old faves.

A bunch of Nagaoka sleeves. Love their fitting.

There's a model to protect double CD like Saturn TSS etc.

And a Corstat box for a Titan board

Thanks to Panda and Teddy for the idea of antistatic storage <3

Figured it was time to replace those Neo Geo game pads with some real Neo Geo fight stix.

 

[miisalo]

Mint controllers! Normally the Neo-Geo text has been partly wiped off by sweaty palms. How much did you pay?

 

[Turbogfx]

€ 38 per controller

 

[julencin2000]

€ 38 per controller

Plus shipping?

 

[Turbogfx]

No, unfortunately shipping was another €28 from Japan..

These heavy bastards; and once shipped, we always must pray for them to skip customs fees. I have a skeleton saturn awating for customs clearance. 50€ shipping + 45€ VAT+fees+handling.

 

[potetoboy]

got a big box of anti-static boxes the other day for the pcb's...

 

[Pasky]

How much did those run and where did you order? I"m getting sick of stacking mine in USPS flat rate boxes

 

[Yodd]

I would also love some of those.

 

[Pasky]

Not sure if they're cheaper somewhere else but found them on Uline's site:

What size is that pictured with the glorious thumbs up?

 

[potetoboy]

its the 15 1/2 x 12 1/2 x 2 1/2" size. model #S-7680

 

[Yodd]

Fucking hell, those things are spendy.

 

[Pasky]

Ya fuck that noise, not spending $160 on cardboard and foam.

However,

Buy a few of those, and you can glue your own anti-static foam to them. You can find the ESD sheets on digikey or if you're adventurous Ebay.

Very nice.

I think these Kraft deluxe boxes from the same beepackaging look to be a bit heavier duty and available in multiple sizes:

They also have decent prices on antistatic bags too.

 

[Teddy KGB]

Fucking hell, those things are spendy.

I get em for $7 and for that, they are worth it. I don't think I'd pay much more than that though.

O RLY?

 

[julencin2000]

Mine, posted here, is 394 x 318 x 64 in milimeters, 15.5" x 12.5" x 2.5".

Costed me 18.58€ plus VAT, around 22€, 25$.

For one board I have I think it's OK, if I happen to be buying more boards... well, maybe I'll have to find other way to store them.

7$ each is a steal, omg.

Bought them here http://es.farnell.com/corstat-containers/3500-10/caja-de-tr-nsito/dp/596280 because I didn't find Uline in Europe, or maybe I didn't search well.
