I finally got the guts (and the luck) to buy one.  It cost me $300, and the game i bought with it (King of the Monsters) cost me $40.  The system is Japanese, so because of the region being within the system itself and not the games, most of the games I buy will be in Japanese.  I don't mind, though, they're arcade games, so it's not like there's going to be a lot of text to sift through.  I ran into a few problems when I first bought the system, as some of you know, but all is well now.  The pride of my collection is now sitting on a shelf next to my TV, and I will be basking in its glory for many years to come.

Hell.  Yes.

Congrats

I have one as well and bought it with Samurai Spirits.  Mine is a US unit tho.  

Congrats.  

I got one as well, granted I've had it for 5 months and I still don't own a single game for it.

Congrats
Have fun with it man.
Arcade games ROCK!

I've had a Vectrex Multi-cart for close to a year and still don't have a Vectrex.   :-/

that's not that unusual, especially amongst collector's. I've never passed up a game I didn't have a system for. I figure I'll track one down at some point. at the moment I don't have this situation but I had games for the Intellivision, TI-99, Apple IIe, Xbox and Colecovsion long before I got the systems.

Hell, I've had Food Fight for the Atari 7800 for well over 10 years (since the legendary Big Lots closeout of Atari games and systems) and I still don't have a system.

Congrats, CFB!  That seems like a solid investment, both in terms of your money and the gaming enjoyment you can get out of it.  I'm envious.

Thanks everybody!  I really appreciate your comments and congratulations.  If any of you want to see what the system looks like in my room, I've just uploaded a bunch of pics on my profile.  Peace out!

I'm giving serious consideration to either modding my AES for s-video and buying a phantom or just buying a consolized MVS.

CFB, it looks like you've already gotten a second game, so congrats on that as well.  No Neo Geo should be without a KOF game.  Very cool stuff.

KoF '94 is, of course, unbelieveable.  The controls are responsive, the graphics are beautiful, the sound is well-thought-out & immersive, and the gameplay is rock solid.  I knew it would be good, but not this good, and I now see why the SNK community is so strong.  The only problem is now I'm broke, but it's worth it. ;)

just checked out the pics. very cool man. is that Kinex I see under the TV?

I may have an extra 7880 system if you're interested.

I have all the games for teh 7800 and i dont have a system.

well I can't help you, all my 7800 systems are loose.

Yes, it is.  I was a K'Nex kid.  I made that a good 6 or 7 years ago, it's a "rock crusher."  The little blue turret-looking things spin around and the cylinder in the middle spins around (It has rocks in it.).  I am mega proud of that thing.

I've got a lot of Kinex. they turn up in the thrifts quite often. my daughter really likes them. I'd like to accumulate enough to build her a giant ferris wheel for her Polly Pocket dolls.

I just picked up a huge K'Nex Roller Coaster set a couple of weeks ago for like $8.  I haven't shown it to the kids yet because I don't have the time right now to build it for them (they are 4, 5  & 8 so they will need lots of help)  I figure it will be a good winter project when it's too cold for them to go out and play for very long.

They had a ferris wheel set of some type when K'Nex were still in production.  Oh, those were the days...

@ Bum-Man:
Your kids are lucky.  I wanted that set so bad when I was a kid, but my parents never bought it for me...

I picked up a coaster too a while back. no manual, the motor was missing as was most of the tow chain. I was a little dissappointed but for $4 bucks I did get a ton of pieces.

Bummer. But for the right price I would buy a loose one.

Man, I always wanted one of those Roller Coaster Set's, When I was younger my brother and I alwyas had that circled in the Sears catalog for christmas but we never got it.

Gratz, I recently got one for only $185 with S-video, AV mod, light up reset, and Bios v 2.1 or whatever. First game I want is samurai showndown 2!
