Wow what they do, eat the game? :lol: [/QUOTE]

:mad: In my opinion, they can eat their box as well. And I'm not saying what I really want to say because this is a family friendly forum. 4 bucks...

This emoticon fits them well: :p irate:

HOURS OF FUN!

Anyway, I just found this for sale...

Image

It's a Quebec picture book from 1986 with the two chapters called "La Naissance D'Astro" and "La Petite Soeur D'Astro". This means you can get the French versions of Uran/Uranie and Astro's creations, based off the French edited version, which in turn is the sister dub to the Canadian dub. I almost bought it, but balked so I could buy a figure of Kaji from Evangelion. Here's the auction, if anyone's interested.

Aww, the man himself, and his kids.

There's a song by Blancmange called "Don't You Love It All" that fits this scene.

Sappire and Sapphire. I think I posted this on TiE Forums as well.

My, what a jovial scene. We have a giant Astro, Daddy Walrus hijacking a police dog car, Astro bending a lightpost, Shibugaki giving the Nazi salute, and the Blue Knight, Cobalt & Pluto dropping by. In addition, Tenma appears to want to giddily pass Ochanomizu's car, which will involve running over Tick & Tuck and/or Jump.
At least there's lots of witnesses.


Dear god I dislike that town,Astro could could get hungry or not watch where he's stepping O_o

Don't worry: the other Astro is out of bubblegum, so I think the town is safe from the evil giant Astro [Any John Carpenter or Duke Nukem fans here to catch the bubblegum thing?]

Hey kids, you know that Playstation 2 game based on the 2003 series? Do you want to buy the paper slip that comes from the case?

No, seriously. Just the paper insert. And it's $4.33, on sale from $4.48

"The Artwork Insert is the paper part of a game case. THIS IS NOT A MANUAL. NO MANUAL IS INCLUDED. To make a case for your game you take an artwork insert and an empty case and combine them together. No case is included. If you need cases check our store or contact us because we keep them in stock. All of our Artwork Inserts are originals and are out of print. This is a great opportunity to add value to your game discs that don't have cases."

So, apparently all the game covers we own are priceless treasures! And we just got them for free with a game! For a little extra, you can even buy a disemboweled game case, coincidentally from this same guy!

"A lot of people have asked why do I need to buy an Artwork Insert? Games are not just for playing. A large amount of people collect video games as a hobby. Some video games have increased in value over the years more than they sold for new in the stores. These precious investments have a much higher value if they have there original case, booklet, game, etc."

This is pretty lulzy. And apparently they fold the insert in half anyway, so your "precious investment" now has a giant crease. Looking through the oter items for sale from these vultures, I see all they're selling are game manuals and covers. What do they do with the actual games, eat them?
