Well, I haven't updated my blog in almost 3 years, so I think it's time to get another list together  

I neveer really thought about completing my collection CIB, but I've always been picking up boxes along the way.  I just recently got the urge to add to my collection as it has been sitting still for many, many years now with the exception of collecting protos.  Problem is, NES prices are at an all time high, so I don't really want to sink cash into my cardboard needs.  I''m going to do my best to trade items for the boxes I need and see how close it gets me.  I don't have any real intentions of finishing the whole thing, but I bet I can get pretty close and have fun.

So here it is, all of the licensed NES boxes I need:

After finishing my licensed NTSC set on July 1st 2009, I figured I'd tidy up around here and snap some pictures of my set and some of the nicer boxes I have:

Here are some of my Black Boxes:



And a picture of some of my favorite boxes in my collection:



I'll be posting some pictures of my updated collection shelf soon too!

So this is it I think, the final push to complete my licensed NTSC set.  November of last year I finally made my first needs list so that I could really start moving closer to the end, and about 200 games later, here I am!

Overall, besides the "big one", the list seems fairly reasonable.  I'd like to get the rest of them out of the way by the middle of this year so I can start saving my money for that very last game.  It's amazing to look back at how long I've really been collecting, I don't think I ever really thought that I'd end up getting this far.

Well, enough of my ranting.  Here are the last 33 games I need for my set:

Advanced Dungeons & Dragons:  Hillsfar 
Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle
Bandit Kings of Ancient China 
Bucky O'Hare
Championship Pool
Chubby Cherub
Conflict
Defenders of Dynatron City
Die Hard
Dragon Fighter
Gemfire
Godzilla 2
Lemmings
L'Empereur
Mickey's Adventure in Numberland
Mickey's Safari in Letterland
Might & Magic
Ms. Pac Man (licensed)
Nobunaga's Ambition II
Overlord
Pac Man (Namco)
Pirates!
Qix 
The Ren & Stimpy Show:  Buckeroo$!
S.C.A.T. 
Stadium Events
Star Trek:  The Next Generation  
Street Cop
Tecmo Cup Soccer
Thunder and Lightning
Touchdown Fever 
Nigel Mansell's World Championship Racing

Short little list.  Anyway, if anyone has a few of these at a reasonable price, please let me know!  I have disposable cash at the moment and I'm looking to put an a "finished" sign next to this collection!

Haven't updated the wants in a while, but after knocking off a huge chunk of the remaining carts I needed from Seth and picking up a few others along the way, I think it's time for an updated list.  Here it is, a little more than 50 to go:

Advanced Dungeons & Dragons:  Hillsfar 
The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends

Just looking for loose carts at the moment, but I'm always picking up CIB's along the way.

So I finally got around to typing up a wants list.  I'm nearing 500 carts and figure that if I wanted to start making some serious progress in my collecting that it was about time to write up a wants list.  Without further ado, my wants!

Phew!  As far as I can tell, these last 230 or so games are what I need to complete my licensed NTSC loose cart set.  If you have any of these titles loose and they are in good shape (label is intact at the very least), shoot me a PM with a price you have in mind and we can work something out.  Thanks!!!
