And bundled with a 6B pad is also a plus.
Btw... nice Super Bock
SB and Sagres are my goto beers. Sometimes when I'm in the mood I'll have some Sam Adams or Stella.

Picked up a Crazy Taxi sit down (gutted unfortunately) I have an extra naomi but I'll need the cart. Also an MVS 6 Slot. Both I put in storage for now. I don't think the 6 slot is going to fit through door. Anyone happen to have the width for a 6 slot?

I'm feeling the need to bring this thread back to life, so let's go on a journey into the mid 1980s and the Transformers.
This has been stuff I've snapped up in the last 60 days roughly.
First up if memory serves would be walking into my favorite old toy store (where most of this post comes from anyway) and I bump into G1 - Computron, all there, even his manual which was part of the body scattershot and this was around $80 I think. I also walked out with a few manuals including paying just $3 for Megatron', Grimlock as that's all her charges for paper which is awesome.
Next up though again toy store -- more G1 stuff, this time shocker here, $60-65 complete again in the box this time. Metroplex, one of the largest pieces they made and another $10 for a fully chromed insecticon Kickback. And another $10 w/out gun is Sandstorm a triple changer.
Then into ebay, got a dumb luck grab on this, cost me $90, but with what is here, condition, and completeness normal value is $150 so I was super thrilled. One of thsoe few I always gawked at as a kid and never could have -- Shockwave complete w/manual, clean electronics, works perfect.
Also before this I was able to nail down for $49 shipped (which is nuts) the only six changer ever made -- Decepticon Sixshot, complete with the huge fold out transformation manual too.
Back to the shop again...Japanse robots (shogun warriors) I ended up popping just $20 on the bot in the center to the left of the 2 voltron units, Dangard Ace, worth $80 on ebay. Has the wing, cracked but I glued it. I also got the others during this last year as well in the last 6mo all local but the 2 voltrons (online) on those but under value still. Dangard is a non-voltron favorite the head fires off as a missile as do the 2 fists. 2 weekends ago I did find for $3 another one, a 3" red bot name is slipping me but in same shape is worth like $15.
Back to G1 Transformers though, about the same time as the dangard, I got a complete Thundercracker for just $20 which is a steal. This pic doesn't show it but it has all 4 missiles, landing gear, and fists are on.
And finally this was a jaw dropper for me. 6 months back I had a chance at this toy, ended up being with so many missing parts I had to let it go, never thought I'd see it local again, let alone again in the box, working, with ALL parts. He's mostly working, 2 leg drums to walk are cracked, one broken entirely, but I have a pair I ordered for it. It's a complete Omega Supreme with a jacked up box. They don't get any bigger outside of Fortress Maximus. I paid $70 for it, in perspective the little yellow clips (6 of them) tend to sell for $10/ea or more on ebay as parts so I made out.
As I said awhile back, games have taken a back seat to other interests and one of my big ones are Japanese robots, especially Transformers and old Shogun Warriors/Voltron era 1975-85 era stuff so I'm quite happy. Saved a LOT on every one to some degree, and best of all did it off my wallet from just selling off games/toys I don't want anymore.
While NOT pictured, and I'll probably do it eventually for this thread with another burst post as I just got them. I ended up buying for $38 today both G1 Dinobot Sludge (complete, all chrome solid) and Powerglide as well.
This puts me at 69 Transformers (47 autobots, 27 decepticons total.)

I don't have the width offhand, but my 6 slot did not fit through the front door of my house, it was one inch too wide. I had to use our sliding basement door, and it barely even fit then :P
A 6 slot? Lucky you!! My Nba jam cabinet is in the garage because it was impossible to,get it ot the basement.

I'm hoping I can maybe just take off the doorframe or something. Worst case I'll buy a plot of land, plop the 6 slot down and build a house around it.

Indeed! In my opinion, this very first run was the very best.
Turn it around, RAZO, what's the serial number? The one I play on is a launch unit from 1988.
Sorry for the blurry pic. Snapped it real quick with my phone. Its 99M 99444. Weird I've seen some that start with A than numbers or just all numbers. but this one starts as 99M than a space.

For all the crap it got at release, it's actual pretty good. The controls feel a little floaty due to the digitIzed graphics but easy to get used to.

This is one sexy 6-slot cabinet! I have not seen one around here for sale in a while. Where did you get this from?

Yep I remember buying Shinobi on the Saturn the month it was released. I've always enjoyed it.

I agree. The movie cut scenes are kind of Korny but the game is actually pretty good.

I got it from an old op. It came with some decent carts too including Striker 1945 and Mutation Nation.
