As some of you know, I tend to collect some oddball items from time to time.  A lot of these items are pretty unique, and for some of them; I've never seen another like them.  Now, I'm not saying anything I have is one of a kind, but I'm pretty sure I'll have at least an item here and there throughout that you've likely never laid eyes on before.  

Awesome! I love weird old stuff like this.

That's great... How many different songs are there?

Mario loves me this I know, for the "Play a Tune Book" tells me so!

Yea, Im pretty sure you outbid me on that item. It was a tough battle! It was a while ago though, maybe a year? Didnt it sell for $40-$60ish?

I too will share some unique merchandise when I get a chance

I think there are nine with themes of Donkey Kong, Zelda, Mario & Metroid.  I don't have it with me to check.

Nope, wasn't me; I bought this in April.

#2: Custom ROB Display

This is a setup I used to have displayed that I thought was pretty darn snazzy. (Games aren't for sale, but I might be willing to part with the other three items)

Included is:

Sudoku Homebrew Cart (One of the original 100 made...#91),

Arkanoid (Sealed) [$60 shipped on ebay]

ROB the Robot Standalone, Big Box Gyromite & StackUp [Got these 3  in a lot of 38 CIB games off of ebay for $250 shipped.  The auction didn't reach its reserve (it was at $210 and the reserve was $300)]

Nintendo pencil holder (Handed out by Nintendo Reps)

Nintendo ruler (Rep item) 

Nintendo ScrewDriver (These were given to Nintendo reps for kiosk repair use. They weren't supposed to give them out to anyone...I got this one when the rep left it at the store and never asked for it back)

Lmao, nice dude. How long ago you pick up the ROB & games? Those look rather minty, too .

I'm almost sure I bid against you. It may have been April, I bid on so much stuff I cant remember time frames. I just know it wasnt THAT long ago. I check for Nintendo merchandise at least 3x a week, so I would have spotted the auction for sure. 

I got them in May of 06, and all three are beautiful they came from the original owner and it looked like he played them once and never touched them again.  There were some nice black box games that came with it; LoZ, Donkey Kong & CluCluLand were the highlights that I can remember.

#3 Mario, Luigi & Yoshi Soda Display + Zelda Test Cart

(Test Cart is Not for Sale, but I'd be willing to part with the signs)

These two cardboard cutouts were part of a standee for a soda sweepstakes. I've always assumed they were for a Shasta promotion, but I'm not 100% sure...these were from 1 of 3 ebay auctions I can remember where I actually outbid Dain, as he always seemed to be bidding on items I really took an interest in. 

Nice items Otto! I've spent a ton of time searching for merch and I've never seen that song book before either. I'm looking forward to checking this thread often...you've got some unique stuff!

I actually thought of doing something like this as well (but then on a weekly basis or so) while I was reorganizing parts of my collection a couple weeks ago, for very similar reasons (retrace the purchase & experience, and of course to dust off some of this stuff ).

#4: Fun Club Membership Card

(Not for Sale)

This was my mom's Nintendo Fun Club Membership card. She was cleaning out a storage trailer and found this in the mix...my mom rocks.

Thanks Pieter, I'd love to see some of the items from your collection...I've always admired it from afar; would be nice to see some of the items up close and personal!

#5: Mario Party 2 Poster

I found this poster behind a valence when I worked at Toys R Us...thought it was neat so I decided to keep it. It's not often you find Mario chillin' in a cowboy hat and Yoshi Dressed as a pirate!

#6: Smart Boy Games

Smart Boy games were pirated games with a purpose: they were used by movie rental stores as a cheaper alternative to getting the actual games. The known games for these are (and number I know of in existance): Arkanoid(2), Super Mario 2(1), Super Mario 3(2), Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles(2) & Tetris(3).  Pretty Scarce!

#7: Banjo Kazooie N64 Cases

Very cool! You have some awsome stuff!

#8: Punchout Pinball Game

(For Sale)

I'm not really sure if this was sold in a retail store or what...the back mentions Nintendo Power. This handheld pinball machine is sealed, but the cardboard backing is beat to high hell! There must be a set of these as I've seen a Super Mario Bros version & a Zelda Version. There doesn't seem to be too much as far as Punchout paraphernalia is concerned, so it's pretty nifty.

Otto thanks for sharing all of this..

that is really cool...

That punchout thing is SWEEEEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTTTTTTTT even in the condition it is in!

There are a set of these mini games (I was the individual that won the auction for the mario and zelda toys) I will post the links so you can see what these toys look like in better condition

That's really sweet, Limbo. The fighter's profile pictures are the same as they appear on the Topps scratch off cards.

those smart boy games are awesome! i've never seen those before.
