Perhaps the issue the stickers came in was sealed in a cellophane or something and the sticker sheet wasn't actually physically attached to the issue, which would explain why they aren't found in old issues.
I don't think it was the Mega Man X issue, I seem to recall that one came sealed with a package of mega man x pogs.

EDIT: If it was a subscriber bonus then there would also have to be non-subscriber copies of the magazine out there which wouldn't have them, thus adding to the confusion.

I got an offer for a controller with the Blue guy earlier in the thread, I'm really only looking for scans here. thanks anyways though...

Or if someone has the sticker sheet to sell, I'll buy it and scan it so everyone can enjoy it.

Oh, and to the people who have PM'd me multiple times: I will let you all know when the stickers turn up. Please, no more PM's!!

FYI, there are also Dr. Mario overlays out there

Photobucket

and this one has "Danger" in the middle, not sure if that was added by the owner or whether it is a variant of the one seen earlier in the thread (I'm guessing it was added since this one has heavy wear from use):

Holy moley, Dr Mario overlays?!?! This is news to me! Where did you find that picture? Do you have any background info on them, and where they came from!

Oh, and I'll add that we are still looking for scans of any and all overlays! Gotta catch 'em all!

That would be cool.

Actually, if any of you graphically gifted guys feel up to the challenge, someone could even recreate the ones we are looking for! They are all pretty simple images, it wouldn't be that hard

I got that pic with the Dr Mario overlays from a European eBay site a couple years ago (not sure which one anymore)....so my guess is they weren't available in the US.

To be honest, I'm against people remaking these unless there's something like "Reproduction" clearly written on them, as I hope to find genuine copies of the Dr Mario & Final Fantasy ones in the future (as I'm sure others are as well).

Bump for the scans - and could a mod please move this to Collector's Corner?

Oh, and as for the "Danger" sign in the middle of that one controller, it's got to be a sticker that some kid put on there. I highly doubt that Nintendo Power would have made a variant of the sticker.

I have a lot of Nintendo Power mags from issue 20 to 100 something (N64 era). Let me know what issues these were in and I'll check to see if they're in them.

I checked about 20 issues and didn't fine them. Were they in between the pages or on their own separate card?

Thanks for looking through your issues, Michael.  The search continues, I guess.

The one that's already been scanned (On the first page of the thread) came between the pages, but I have a feeling that some of them came wrapped in cellophane with the issues.

I'd really like to talk to this Magoo guy, I know for a fact that he has the stickers. He's been a member here for a long time.... does anyone know him? He hasn't signed in for a couple months, so my PM's aren't getting me very far.
Here's what his avatar looks like:



If anyone happens to know him... could someone maybe talk to him and point him towards this thread?

I was talking to someone about this and they remember them coming from issue 50. Anyone checked that one? I don't know much just throwing what someone said to you.

I just went through every issue from the very first in 1988 all the way through to the last issue of 1992 page by page and have found nothing. I will go through 1993-1996 in the next couple of days,but i don't think these came in Nintendo Power.

Thanks for the continued efforts..

Aaron - I'm 100% sure these came in Nintendo Power... I remember getting them as a kid. Did you have a subscription? I'm fairly sure most of these were subscriber's bonuses, and were wrapped with the issue in cellophane when they came in the mail.

So there they are. I'm looking for the pink one and the blue guy at the top- but now that I look at it, the one on the bottom left is sweet too. Could someone find a scan of that sticker sheet too, if it turns up?

Also, I've got a couple leads- Could some people please check these NP issues to see if the stickers happen to be in with them?

Issue with Mickey mouse firefighter on the cover
Link's Awakening issue
Mega Man x issue

Or pretty much any other January issue.

OR, if anyone here knows the user magoo8301 , He has an unused sheet of the stickers we're looking for. He's from Illinois, so if someone from there knows him / could get a hold of him, our search would be over.. then he'd just need to scan them!


That's my picture.
