Happy Holidays (and a where-to-buy-good-TG16-stuff question) from (epic slacker) GringoJB!
Hey again, everyone!!
I feel pretty eternally bad that I haven't been checking in here in so long... mainly because I was lucky enough to meet so many of you at the AGE Expo earlier in '08, and everyone was SO great! How have you all been?? Before I slip TOO far down the road of slackerdom, I just wanted to make sure that all of you were having an EXCELLENT holiday season and wish you all the best! I really do feel lucky to have met so many of you earlier in the year, and there's really no good excuse for me not checking in more. Work/home things have been crazy, and my whole "checking the NA forums" mojo took a major slide (mainly since I didn't have the upcoming expo to obsess about...)
So ANYWAY, so that this isn't a completely dorky post, I did have a legit (non-Nintendo) question that I wanted to bounce off of you guys, just to see what you think. My awesomely-awesome wife scored a Turbografix 16 for me for Christmas... do you guys who collect TG-16 games/gear have any favorite places where you like to get your TG-16 stuff? Other than the "usual suspects", I just wanted to see if there was anyplace in particular online that you knew of where Turbo stuff tends to crop up. Maybe a dumb question, but I thought I'd ask!
Anyway, I can't say it enough, but sorry that I've been a little "underground" for a while... hope it doesn't make you think I like you guys any less! Have a GREAT new year, and I hope that we'll talk more soon! Thanks in advance for any tips on the TG16 scene!

J2games.com always has some turbo stuff in stock..
and of course EvilBay, I mean, Ebay is always a good source, although pricey at times..
I've only ever found two TG16 games in the wild - sealed Klax and Ballistix. I still have the latter if you're interested. I've also only ever found one system, and passed on that since, well, there's no games floating around
I agree that eBay, and perhaps Chase the Chuckwagon on a good day, might have some stuff for you.
