Finally got a ROB

BenihanaBenihana
in Finders Keepers
Picked up the close to CIB Deluxe set yesterday...

Box is not great, but better than average...

The real nice thing is how clean he is. Does not look like he has ever been played.
System is used, but no biggie. ROB is the important part.

Spinners still have the cardboard on them.

Only thing that is missing is the paperwork...Which I assume that is the hardest part to find of the boxed set....so if you have extra ROB papers...hint hint, wink wink


Oh, did I tell you I paid $120 for it...

    Great deal on the ROB with box. Yes it does look very clean. Maybe they thought it was too confusing and decided not to use the ROB =). Congratulations again on the score.

    Quite a cool find, especially at a price like that! I need to get a R.O.B. one of these days.

    I think I have an extra manual for that. If you don't hear from me by tomorrow, shoot me a pm!

    Nice find

    Great find what is the serial number on the system?
  • BenihanaBenihana
    I think it is a replacement. It is all yellow and well used. Thinking the seller just through a deck in to make it "complete" in box...

    I did not even think to look since I knew it was not original deck

    Very cool. Most of the paperwork isn't really that difficult to come by. The hardest piece I've found is the eye shades for ROB. I've heard that the Gyromite and Duck Hunt are supposed to be CIB inside it, too, but I can't say for sure. I have wondered how well they would fit up there.

    And, call this a dumb question, but what range of serial numbers are supposed to be in these deluxe sets?
    I honestly never bothered to check mine. It doesn't have the registration sticker on the back, or the remnants of one with the serial on it.

    Where did you find it, thats a gloryhole deal
  • BenihanaBenihana
    A new friend of mine got it off a guy who sold him a shit load of Nintendo Powers. Some scary deal in is basement. Call me and asked if I wanted it.

    That's my main beef with a lot of "CIB" systems you find. They are just a mix of randomly sourced components and not the original items.

    So, again, is there a specific range that is supposed to be in the deluxe set?



    If not, unless the box is marked with a serial number I don't see the big deal with it being a different system. If there is a known range, I would like to know it, so I can see if I have the original system from my Deluxe set.

    Personally, unless there is a range, I think it's a good idea to piece together the nicest looking stuff you can find. As long as it's a match to what was originally in there.

    so are a lot of the "CIB" games out there.   I don't care for the randomly pieced together versions of either.

    wow that box looks very mint!

    Sweet score. It looks like you might also be missing the filter liens.
  • NatendoNatendo
    Yeah, I saw a filter lens the other day on eBay... this looks really nice though. Great find.

    Cool find, cool find. ROB is a perfect piece to any collection.
