I would think this has to be the last one in existence. It is a VHS tape that would have been used in stores like Toys R Us to play in the store to encourage you to buy the Toybiz WCW figures and accessories. It is dated 1999 if you cannot see it clearly.   |

I'd be happy to convert that bad boy to digital and upload it to Youtube for you if you wanted..No pressure  |

I tried it on one and think I have it hooked up wrong. The other two (DVD/VCR combo units) were disconnected when I could not get the DVD drawer to open on either one. |

I definitely want to see this. At a minimum, a phone video would be great. This is pretty cool.

I’m glad to see that the hunt hasn’t stopped. You can’t quarantine this level of obsession. Tbh though, I’m at a point where I suspect I’ll never find a really good deal on eBay ever again. I had a good run but that forum has fallen off in terms of how I used it.

I had a good run but that forum has fallen off in terms of how I used it. My hunting has gone down tremendously over the past two - three years. I used to spend at least an hour a day searching, generally Ebay, but then it became a rotating sequence of the same items weekly with a periodic purchase down to about 10 purchases over the past year and a half. Now I am down to about an hour a week. I do not collect Mattel at all and limited things from Jakks, so what I have remaining to find is getting extremely limited. I need a handful of items (some of which may not even exist) from Toybiz outside of the Bashin Brawlers and Heavy Hitters buddy types and even less OSFTM along with some UK Galoobs that I likely will never get. That leaves me needing about 20 - 25 Hasbros which I never seem to pull the trigger as I cannot find enough of them in a lot to make it worthwhile and I hate buying them one at a time. |

It’s depressing. The game will never be the same... some people have made tremendous discoveries but on average, it’s for a huge price tag. I’ve made about 4 eBay purchases in the past year. It’s just really drying up. Yesterday I discovered a few listings that if I didn’t already have them, I’d want them. But of course they’re for more than 20 times what I paid for them off of eBay about 7 years ago. |

When a saved listing has new items and they're the same as last week, and the week before, and the week before that ad infinity because they want silly prices |

I would not have nearly what I do if they were priced like they are now. It seems like when I do decide to sell something, there is no interest. Other junk sells for big bucks. |

The DVD/VCR and I are not on speaking terms. I am doing something wrong connecting it and it will not tell me what is wrong.

I have access to both and tried both, but what I think is the problem is that I bought the tape from someone in Australia. It may not be compatible with my VCR. It indicates on the back it was made in Hong Kong, but I assume they likely may have made it for that region's VHS players. I tried another tape I have and it plays. It is just a garbled mess when I try this tape. |
