A few questions for my fellow NFR collectors 1) How many fellow NA members are going for a full 3DS NFR set?

2) Which NFR set are you going after EUR, USA, or both?
3) Which cart is your favorite?
4) What cart was hardest to come by?
5) What cart are you on the hunt for?

USA 3DS

Sealed SSB 3DS

Zelda MM 3DS Sealed Display kit


EUR 3DS

Link Between Worlds EUR 3DS


Puzzle Dragon 3DS EUR

Nice job Jaxs, now to do the Euro NFRs This seems to be a much less difficult NFR set to get, can you confirm? Also, are there any specific NFRs that are harder to find than others?

The 2 are about even if you include rear only 3DS NFRs in the sets. A few NFR collectors I know are only missing 1-a few NFRs for a complete set.

The layout is confusing as it seems to break alpha order. 2 Mario Tennis? 3 Link Between Worlds?

Nice set for sure. Keep spearheading the movement. Lets me know what i've got to hunt down still!

**editt**
DUH, It's left to right.  Makes sense now.  Other question still stands, 3 Links? kiosk, E3 and ? 2 Mario Tennis? kiosk and?

-------------------------
Because it makes no attempt to be great, it is therefore extremely great.

LOL...My screw up in a way. The +1 on Mario Tennis and + 1 on Zelda LBW are were the 2 pictures tie together. As for LBW there is no error on the 2. Most collectors never heard about a LBW E3 copy before LBW kiosk copy. There are 2 versions of the cart.

Half way there. The pics overlaps one another so minus 1 LBW, 1 Mario Tennis, and 1 blue sealed Smash Bros.

Very cool! It would be neat to get the full set and frame them in some sort of arrangement then mount it on the wall. Just me though

It has been my plan for some years now. When I finish my USA NFR DS set it's the first thing I'm doing. Cool piece to have on the wall in your game room/ collection room.

I'm afraid that the next generation handheld will not have NFRs similar to what they did with the Wii U.

Your NFR collection is amazing.
And you always get the new carts.
I didn't even knew there were 2 versions of the ALBW cart.
I'm still trying to get the kiosk demo.

Thank you it has been a long road to get to where I'm at. Always nice to hear positive feedback from fellow collectors in the scene. Really enjoy collecting NFRs for the challenges they present in tracking down and discovering new titles. Have broaden my horizons in my NFR collecting. Amazing how much more difficult it becomes when you start trying to track them down worldwide.

Awesome I see you are going for all 3 sets as well. I like how you have it laid out with rarity noted. One day would like to have all of my NFR sets framed in plexi displays. Would have them made to be hung on the wall. My DS sets are very close to being finished. Of all the NFR platforms DS is by far the hardest and don't believe anyone has finished it. Many collectors have been trying top finish the set for 5+ years like myself.

It's amazing how difficult some of these newer NFRs are to come by. MM being hard to come by is no big surprise since it's a Zelda title. With patience they all show up eventually. If I come by any you need as always I'll shoot you a PM.

No question.  I was surprised with Smash bros. , fully expecting not to see any for a long time coupled with sky high prices because, it's smash, over paid some, but got that one out of the way a few weeks ago.

I'm expecting Majora's Mask to actually be easy, hoping like other Zelda's they magically blast out and are then everywhere after a while.  Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks were really hard to get for a bit, then suddenly *poof*.  Same thing for Ocarina of Time for 3DS.  Link Between Worlds, not quite as much, but it's out there in some supply too.

Mario titles have always seemed to stay relatively uncommon in my hunting.

I noticed Style Savvy with a good rear label seems to be difficult to come by. It was one of the older titles that was not part of the China flood. It also seems the China flood has slowed down and no new titles have come up.

I don't think I will go for a full 3DS NFR set but I will definetly buy the ones I like. Maybe in the future if I notice that I have a large portion of the set I can go for every cart.
Right now I'm happy that I got the Smash Bros and Link Between Worlds NFR carts for prices that I found amazing. There are a few other carts that I would like to have in my collection but I will wait until I find them for a good price.

The China flood made owning a full 3DS NFR set very affordable. MM NFR is one that has not finished out it's time in kiosks yet so it is very scarce. Would be interested to hear if any one else has a copy in their collection yet?

As far as I can tell, they don't produce physical copies of Wii U NFR. It seems like the demos are just digitally distributed.
