Last week I received the single largest box that has ever been mailed to me. It was a beast of a parcel. Knowing exactly what it was I quickly paid the retarded customs fees ($80!!!) and ran downstairs (slowly and carefully) to my gaming dungeon. My wife and son heard the commotion and came down to see what kind of shenanagins I was getting into.
I was so exciting about the large package I decided to open the small package first (I got two parcels by the way) and get it out of the way. Heres what was in parcel number 1:

A sexy little Sega CDX system, 6 Boxed Genesis games, and 5 CIB Sega CD games!! These are the first Sega CD games I've gotten since I found Sonic CD (My only Sega CD game until now) like 5 years ago, so it was pretty awesome. But not as awesome as what was yet to come. The Sega CDX was more of a practical purchase rather than something I had to have. I've only got a certain amount of shelf space and a Genesis/Sega CD combo is just waaay to big. This is a nice little space saver and a really unique item at the same time.
Enough with the Sega junk, onto the real good stuff!! I grabbed the nearest sharp object, which happened to be a steak knife, and got ready to cut into the large box with surgical precision. After cutting open my index finger and making sure I wasnt going to bleed on anything inside I proceded. I opened the box slowly and gave my wife and kid my best N64 kid impression (OH MY GOD!!! NEO GEO!!! OH MY GOD!!). Thankfully they knew the reference and gave me a little chuckle of support. Behold the NEO GEO AES!!!

I have wanted one of these for over 10 years, but have never felt I had the opportunity to own one being the cheapskate that I am. Being the stand up guy that Terry is know to be he only charged me a fraction of the sticker price!!

And even threw in 3 sweet games with it! Heres a group picture for fun:

The moral of this story is to buy things from Marriot_Guy because he is awesome and has cool things. The end..... or is it?

I think this is a lesson we can all benefit from.
Gotta love those NeoGeo boxes, though. They had to be the product of a "my console can kick your consoles ass" discussion during a management meeting or something.

PPpfffffttttt i sent you boxes equivalent in size. :-p
MG just sent you one that had WAY cooler stuff in it lol
Nice pick up. I love the "Low Price" sticker too.

The Box he sent the Neo Geo in really eclipsed the box you sent the Odyssey 2, 2600 and others stuff in. It was massive.

Thanks for the kudos, but the pleasure in this transaction was mutual. I am glad you enjoy the system - to this day it is still one of my favorites. And about those Neo Geo game boxes - "forget about it" = there is nothing cooler!
