I won this a few weeks back:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISA...tem&item=270081039034

I knew of one box variant, but didn't expect this to be it, yet it was (the variation is not visible in the auction pic)...so that made me pretty happy. At the same time, the seller turned out to have a NIB Saitek Megapad (controller) that I didn't even know existed! It was a nice surprise..and I actually thought I now, at the time, had every Saitek release including the single variation (Saitek Megastick, Megapad, and Megagrip).

Then, a week ago I get another msg from the seller that he put up a couple more accessories on eBay....and guess what, they turned out to be blisterpack releases of two of the Saitek accessories!!

Those who know what I collect know that I aim for all variants etc...and this can get tough for rare accessories, especially when they come in blisterpacks because those are very hard to find NIP...so I feel really lucky that I came across this seller and his auctions, especially considering I hardly ever check the French eBay for NES stuff!!

nice pick ups I never check any thing but US ebay usally shipping makes stuff way to expensive to buy.

Old aunts used to come up to me at weddings, poking me in the ribs and cackling, telling me, "You're next." They stopped after I started doing the same thing to them at funerals.

yeah, I've gotten used to the expensive shipping...I try to occasionally take economy shipping to save on costs, but it's always economy shipments where sellers rip me off because they know that the ability to file a PayPal claim expires before the date that I'm supposed to receive the package...

Well, turns out there's one more variant...just got two Megasticks in that were meant to be used as trade bait, and they have a slightly different box again...so now I have three box variants and one blisterpack variant of the Megastick!
