Item #3 an Original Nintendo Power Magazine Store Display Rack. The rack is made of wood and holds 30 issues of Nintendo Power (I have the 1st 30 issues in mine). The decals are imbedded in the wood. The top decal reads "The Official Nintendo Magazine" and "GET IT NOW," whereas the bottom reads simply "Nintendo Power"

This is an awesome item that I have only seen once...mine


Did you win this off eBay about 3-4 months ago?  The seller sold a ton of early Nintendo Powers, approximately 75 issues and this exact display rack.  Started at 0.99 and went for $350ish if I recall, but it has already been flushed out of my watch list (older than 3 months).

Damn man, this is gonna be an exciting thread to watch! That Nintendo Power rack fetches a lot more than you'd expect for a piece of wood btw .

EDIT: That's the one I was referring to Jone, sorry didn't read your post. There was also one before that that sold upwards of 100 by itself, if I recall correctly.

Well I hope I can keep up to all your expectations. As these are some of my favorite (non-game) items, this may be a downward spiral thread; but as I said I hope to impress, as I own a lot.

Item #4 circa 1988-89 Nintendo Director's Chair. The chair was able to be purchased from certain Nintendo Stores or directly from the Nintendo Power Catalog. In my time collecting I have only seen 3 (one of which is mine) and if I had a chance to buy more I would scoop them up in a second.

I don't know if this is as thrilling as the 1st three items, but as I said I am listing all my favorite items first. Enjoy!

NOTE: This is dark BLACK, not gray, the camera flash just made it look like that

Mind-bottling.... You know, when things are so crazy it gets your thoughts all trapped, like in a bottle?

There was one of those chairs on my local Craigslist a while back...they were asking $100 for it. I didn't have $100 to spend, though, plus I don't think that chair is strong enough to hold me up :/ ...

Item #5 Game Boy Camera Display. I have had this item for quite a while and only know of one other to still exist. Essentially it is a display just as the title says, but it advertised the short lived Game Boy Camera.

Wow, I remember seeing this display when I was younger. Even then, at the age when I wanted everything, I thought to myself "What the fuck is the point of this thing?"

Item #6 NES Era Kirby Display. I own several Kirby displays, but this rarity is by far my favorite. I would expect there to be more of these around since it is a LARGE plush display with hard cardboard on top; though mine is the only one(of this model) I have ever seen. ENJOY!

That Kirby is awesome! Every time I visit this thread, there is something new and amazing waiting for me.

Oh, and for those confused about the whole Mind-Bottling thing on the last page, go rent Blades of Glory!
