Official FuncoLand Appreciation Thread
Here's some pictures of my FuncoLand stuff. Some of you may enjoy seeing these as not too much of it exists anymore. Be sure to post anything you have as well!
NES and SNES cart sleeves and disc sleeves. I still need more disc sleeve variants and a Genesis cart sleeve. Various game tip sheets and receipts.
Disc wallets, box for used systems, price sheet, a universal game/VHS case, and Game Informer sign.
Employee Polo shirt and sweatshirt.
Manager's leather jacket.
Edit: My apologies, the pictures aren't showing up too well, but you get the idea.

Great stuff though! HOpefully more to come from others
Forgot what was top dog for NES
If I could of kept what we had back then, my collection would have been amazing.
One of the regrets I have was when we got in the big box Conker's Press kit.
One of the employees called dibs on it and kept most of it.. but we all ate those nasty jelly beans that came in the medicine bottle and had a jelly bean fight lol.
Ohh the stories from back then.. the good ole' days.

Have all former Funcoland locations transitioned to GameStop?
Yes, or the location was simply closed. I've heard rumors of old Funcoland store marquee signs still existing, but I can't confirm that.
I worked at one of those when I lived in Seattle, toward the end of Funcoland's life. I have some very odd stories.
please share some. Funcoland was my favorite place as a kid and hated gamestop for years becasue they bought the store and turned it into something much worse.
even as a kid back then I knew gamestop was horrible.
anywho, i'd love to hear some odd stories from gamestop.

What would you like to know? ha ha.
This is the only one I can find using Google - the NES stuff is just creeping in on the left.
GameStop, 3600 Gus Thomasson Rd STE 126, Mesquite, TX 75150
Street view this gamestop. It technically is the last funcoland.

Anyone happen to have a picure of the inside of a Funcoland store? Specifically the NES section would be neat to see. I remember they had all their empty NES boxes out on the shelf set up like a VHS rental place.
I found these on a Shaq-Fu fansite, they are from after the Gamestop buyout but the store still had its old elements
I can't believe none of the die hards have posted a pic of the legendary Funcoland neon! One of the most iconic video game signs of all... right up there with the KB/World of Nintendo!
Ask and ye shall recieve.
I actually live like 15 minutes from this one. The magic ends when you walk thru the door as it is nothing but a gamestop. I'm not sure why they kept the sign on the building.
