Title: Does anyone own or ever seen one of these???
Post by: YANDMAN on December 16, 2013, 01:10:05 AM
Wondered if any of you guys actually own one of these display stands or have seen one in the flesh, I once saw an ad for someone selling some of the flip pages from the binder.

I remember seeing those at Toys R Us back in the day. I've seen 2 of them on ebay over the years.

If memory serves, Roy had one that he sold to Thibaut.

Correct, I had one a couple years ago.

Did you have any questions about it that I might be able to answer?

Edit: Here is a little bit better of a pic that I took:

Wow great picture that thing is awesome, Was there ever any Turbo Grafx shop display rigs similar to the Nintendo M82?

Or can anyone recall how they were displayed in shops, Were they set up and running at all?

I remember seeing the Turbo running but it wasn't in anything special other than in a typical glass case.  There are a few kiosks out there. Sparky has one which is pretty amazing.  He's posted a few pics of it here:

As well as another pic Sparky posted sometime back, found here:

Any pics to share?  From what I can tell there are a few different versions.  I'd love to see what exactly you have.
