I took a chance on this Challenge of the Dragon:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISA...tem&item=130092701451

No pics, etc, said it had the box. It arrived today, and to my delight it was CIB, and the manual was in mint condition and the box was the contest version! Not bad for $24!

Crap....I actually forgot to bid on this one. I saw and figured I'd watch to see where it went and until now I completely forgot about it. Nice score!!! Excellent price especially considering the last one went up over $100!

Thx, guys -- I was stunned to pick it up for that cheap. My max bid was $25 on it, and I figured I'd get outbid, but I didn't want to pay too much without pictures. The box has some wear, and the cart does as well, but the manuals is crisp mint. I already had a mint cart, so I just need an upgrade box eventually.

Dain,

If the cart is nice and it is a blue cart with blue back label I would be happy to buy/trade you for it. I'm sure I have to have something around here you would take in trade... not like I've got much though.... :-)

Sure, I'd trade it, but I'm not sure how much you have left that I still need:

Bonk's Adventure box
Bubble Bobble: Part 2 box
Castle of Deceit box
Death Race box
Flintstones, The Surprise at Dinosaur Peak, The box + man
Galactic Crusader manual
Gemfire manual
Ikari Warriors III: The Rescue manual
Joshua box
Kid Klown in Night Mayor World box
King Neptunes Adventure box
Little Samson box + man
Mermaids of Atlantis box
Mickey's Adventures in Numberland box
Mighty Final Fight manual
Moon Ranger box
Ms. Pac Man (namco) box
Operation Secret Storm box + man
Pesterminator manual
Rad Racket box
Secret Scout box + man
Stunt Kids box + man
Sword Master box
Tagin' Dragon box
Ultimate League Soccer box

The cart showed up in pretty bad shape, but the labels were nice so I took the time to clean it up. Looks pretty good now. The back label is the contest label (blue).

Damn, that's all I ever seem to find too. I have the contest label, black cart, and blue with black back label CIB. I just can't find the regular old blue with blue back label.

Anyone out there have one they'd be willing to trade/sell?

Oh, you want the blue with non-contest back label? I have that one too. I thought you were wanting the contest one

In fact, I'd rather trade that one anyway because it's not CIB.

The blue with blue regular back label is tough to find for CotD and KNA. In fact, has anyone seen a blue with blue back label KNA? I remember someone verifying it's existence but I don't think I've ever seen one. They all seem to come with the stupid contest label.

The CIB KNA I just got a couple days ago is non-contest label box and blue cart so I can only assume it is blue regular label back. I will let you know when it gets here. That was the one I still needed on KNA so hopefully it pans out.


DAIN, would love to trade for your non-comp blue cart CoftD. PM me with how much you'd want. I know off the top of my head I have a Stunt Kids box on your list to offer up but it has a phone number written on the back, but I would give you that plus whatever else.
