Mr Vengeance, go for the rather little yet amazing Neo-Geo shmup catalog next :)

R&F was all over eBay back when I got my copy (a number of years ago), think I paid about 10 quid for it! I'll agree I rarely see Rockman Soccer up though, the US version is a bit more common. However the X titles crop up for lower costs for SFC amazingly, especially X3. The US version of that goes for three figures complete, it's that hard to find generally. Likewise R7 goes for a decent handful of cash too in US.

That R&F sounds like a steal for £10! I thought my complete copy for £25 was good! I never really realised Soccer was that uncommon, I managed to snag it for 1000 yen in the end which I was happy with.
I always found the cost of the X games to be rather interesting compared to the USA/PAL ones. I guess they were made in larger quantities/easier to come by than English versions. Its the PAL Snes version of X3 that caused me the most problems getting hold of. Its damn rare at the best of times to get one complete thats in good condition and I've seen them go for £300+ at times (mine wound up costing £350!)

Ironic that you mention the US version Megaman 7, my copy of that finally arrived today :mrgreen: I've now got all the Snes/Super Famicom Megaman games for UK, USA and Japan regions.

I did get some pictures of them but for whatever reason nearly all of them were blurry so I need to take some more. The Gutsman/Fireman Megaman/Magnetman sets came out half decent:

Badass little figure packs, thanks again for getting them for me :D
I cannot find the Shadowman set at all though, I think it must be the shortpacked set of the line.

Awesome Neo Geo games Mr Vengeance :D Which Last Blade game do you prefer (I prefer the original). Looking at your RBFF games remind me I need to track down all 3 this year.


My brother has them you can get them at poundland and home bargins, I should go there more, I got some Capcom Vs SNK figures from homebargins.

He doesn't have the Shadowman (Ninja) set does he? I'd love to get one of him since he is my favourite Megaman character.

I managed to get some better pictures of the figure sets:
Image

Protoman Vs Megaman, Megaman Vs Freezeman and my personal favourite Elecman Vs Megaman

Image

The other 2 sets - Gutsman Vs Fireman and Megaman Vs Magnetman

Image

Lastly - All 5 American Snes releases (Megaman X1-3, Megaman 7 and Megaman Soccer)

@ShadowMan
Sadly he doesn't have that set only the 5 you have. I'll go check my home bargins tomorrow possibly, if they have it I will buy it and sell to you.

Cheers :)

I love both the Last Blades. Initially I found 2 harder to get into than 1, which I had got into pretty much instantly. 2 is a tougher game to play, but is ultimately more rewarding in the long run, and it’s got more depth and more characters. 1 is a brilliant title to play, but 2 just inches it for me.

Highly recommend the RB titles, Special probably plays the best, but 2 is slightly better looking and has 2 more characters. The first RB title has a story, and a superb combo system, though only a handful of backgrounds. Cheap though with a cool box! Definitely recommend them all :)

To be perfectly honest, I wouldn't and couldn't pay out hundreds and hundreds to secure the Metal Slugs, Pulstar and Blazing Star to be honest, as much as I'd like them.

Last Resort is a tonne usually, but I have that for the Wii on that SNK collection disc, so its not worth it. Sonic Wings is an option, but I decided to buy my Saturn to get my retro shmup fix instead - cheaper by far, and the shooters on that system are arguably superior to what’s on the Neo.

I'm mighty tempted to get RB Special next. I've played the Saturn/Neo Geo versions before and its definetly my favourite Fatal Fury game. The cast of characters is excellent, the graphics are super slick and the music is some of the Neo Geo's finest. I'll wind up with all 3 and Garou sooner or later since next to KOF I think FF is my favourite of SNK's fighters.

Hehe, I know what you mean, I have the same problem (with the games, not kids), but there's a solution. You pick your favourite kid, and that one will get to go to college! :lol:
