This is a story of bad luck turning into good: Monday I was packing my Sega Time Traveler for shipment, and as I removed the disc player to pack it, the disc slid out, hit the cement, and broke. I began calling every collector in the area that I knew owned laserdisc games looking for a replacement. In the end, the buyer and I decided on a refund as the best resolution.

Normally that's where the story ends, but as luck would have it, one of the collectors I called mentioned he's moving and has decided to get rid of all his projects and parts. We decided to get together this weekend and look everything over, and today a deal was struck.

It took three trips to get everything, and there are still boxes to sort through, but the highlights that stand out are: Cliff Hanger, Dragons Lair(s), Lunar Lander, and lots of parts and artwork. I will be selling the extras, PM me if you're looking for something, after all you can only play one at a time :)

As for the achievement unlocked, these were my first games of 2012!

Here's the "pics or it didn't happen":

Am I reading this right? You broke it while loading and the guy gave you your money back??
 
Fantastic haul! Glad something bad turned into something so fantastic!
That sucks so bad the disk broke! Thats a pretty amazing game, i was wishing i could have bought it.
Thanks for sharing your awesome haul :)
 
Holy Crap... Thats a dream run my friend.. Very Very cool.. Does that Lander work?:cool::cool::cool::cool:

Lunar Lander works! I'm going through the monitor today and capping that along with the AR & Big Blue to get it ready for sale.

I hadn't played that game since 1980 or so, what a trip!
 
I was so looking forward to playing "Time Traveller" at Barcade! :0(

It's on the way, and we're both looking for a replacement disc.

That was a bad day all around, I was carrying a box earlier in the day and laid my shin open almost to the bone on a monitor sitting on the shop floor. I used some out of date surgical closures we had laying around instead of stitches, and it's healing, but damn that hurt.
