Hello, first post, and I'm looking for 2 Things....
Don't know if this is allowed here, but I figured its worth a shot. I'm a MGS collector, and I've been looking for 2 things lately that I cannot seem to find, or can't find a reasonable deal on.
The first is the CVG magazine featuring Metal Gear Solid. I got outbid on one on eBay, and haven't seen one since. It's release date was June 08, and I think it was only available in Europe.
Second, is a MGS2 Premium Pack. Factory sealed isn't necessary, I just want to have one for my collection. I figure an open one might go for a little cheaper.
I'll post pictures of my collection later, it's not as robust as some of you guys, but it's nice non the less. Thanks for your help, PM me with any questions or whatnot.

Re: Hello, first post, and I'm looking for 2 Things....
Hey welcome to the board man.
For the CVG mag, I'm not sure. Maybe someone here has an extra. There's alot of collectors from Europe on here.
As far as the MGS2 premium pack, yahoo japan is your best bet as it's a bit cheaper than ebay usually. If you've never bid on yahoo japan there's a great thread in this section on it. For one in really good condition you're probably looking at $150US off yahoo japan. Most items inside (if not all) will likely be sealed at that price.
On ebay you can always ask best-of-japan, he sells alot of "like new" items and is pretty friendly. Even if he doesn't have it listed I bet if you ask him he can put one up for you, but he's a bit pricier (probably in the $175 range).

Very cool, I saw your thread on YahooJapan and I was def. looking to try some of those things out.
And yeah, if any European collectors have an extra mag, shoot me a PM, I'd really like to get my hands on one of those. And Liquid, wow, what a collection! lol.

Re: Hello, first post, and I'm looking for 2 Things....
Hey thanks man. I'll definately keep my eye out for the mag next time I search the european listings. If you do end up getting it let me know in the thread so I don't look for it anymore.

Yeah I'll keep a look out too mate, I spotted the mag the other day on ebay.com so I'm sure it'll come around again. It's a quality mage though, I wish I'd bought a couple now!
Welcome aboard dude!

It sucks because someone is selling one now with a buy it now, but he's saving it for someone saying only they can get it. I'm pestering him with emails as we speak though

Re: Hello, first post, and I'm looking for 2 Things....
Welcome to the forums. It's a good one for Kojima + Metal Gear fanatics.
I have two copies of that magazine you're referring to. I bought one when it was first released and then I bought another, one I put away in my collection.
Is this the magazine you're talking about?
I have another copy if it but it's not in absolutely mint condition. Maybe we can work something out? I could also check in the shop I got it from on Monday. The CVG presents series comes out bi-monthly so it might still be on sale.
I also have the MGS2 premium package but I'm not willing to part with it. I got it through eBay not long ago. There's usually a couple on eBay from time to time. The asking price is usually between £80-100. Keep checking eBay, you never know what's there. Sometimes items are only up for minutes so I guess luck sometimes plays a big part in acquiring what you want.

I'll get back to you either tomorrow or Monday. I'll post a picture of the other copy of that magazine I have. I'll also check the shop I got it from as I'm going out that way on Monday, maybe still be on sale or the shop may have some left in stock.
Were sellers charging a lot for it on eBay?

Glad you got yourself a copy. Beware though, the magazine is riddled with spelling errors and stuff like that. It's still a good read though and it makes a nice addition to a collection.
