Those are great pics of what full kits look like, thanks! Keep them coming. :righton:
The fabled suction cup. :)
Did you buy them all new?
QuoteOr, you can just post the pics here.
Eventually WOA will contain pictures of all kits as well.
sperrfeuer is a really great nick :D

Was going through my flyers yesterday and only found a one-sided paper Pink Sweets flyer, I could've sworn there was a thicker one too, or was there?

UoPoko does not have a photo copied manual, it uses glossy paper.
rtw
small update..Tama, Futari BL, and MMP added....still not all...i'm a lazy pitch :rolleyes: smilies are not working for me BTW..i know it's the IE :lol:
Wonderful, thank you!
Anyone have a picture of a complete UoPoko kit ? Does it have 1 or 2 cat paws ?
rtw
I don't think anyone knows for sure. There were 4 or 5 colours.
(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh126/SuperPangster/CIMG2855.jpg)
That's the one on ebay.
from the shape of the adhesive tape pang's kit looks very similar to the last kit on yahoo :laugh:
:laugh: uh-oh...
Does anyone know how thin / thick the ?Manual A4 B/W? for Pink Sweets should be?
I have one, but it?s really thin in comparison to some of the others I have. I know it didn?t get a sticker backed Move Strip, & was wondering if it got cheap ass paper manual too?
Yeah, it's a really thin b/w instruction sheet.

I also updated the main list, adding info about DSMBL and DDPDFK.
Might be worth mentioning the signed DFK also included the flashing pendant and a DVD of the AOU dance.
Also, from memory, the Esprade and Guwange dipsheets are blue and white, DP/DDP are grey/black.

Confirmed :D. Just to be 100% crystal clear the DP/DDP are actually white/grey/black
What is this flashing pendant ?
And does anyone have a rip of the dance they would share with us ?

You're really not missing much =D
DoDonPachi Daifukkatsu 1.5 Kit
(http://pici.se/pictures/PALsbrzsM.jpg)
Just a quick question with regards to a DDP DOJ kit. I have a kit with everything except the manual sheet, and an old style box that was non-specific (just picked it up somewhere.) Does a DOJ kit have differently sized cardboard inserts to other kits, because it seems like the blue case is fractionally too large to fit?
Thanks for the help! :righton:
I think the AMI boxes are actually modelled on the DOJ cage, turn it upside down ;)

Thanks for the help with that Pang. Must learn to use my creativity in future. =D
Question about the Futari 1.5 kits..
Did all the 1.5 kits come with the two little 1.5 stickers?
Also, I don't see a "mini POP" in that photo above.
Yes, all brand new kits came with the two stickers and the minipop.
The minipop is in the picture. It's above the 2 stickers.
Thanks, for some reason I was picturing something more artsy for the mini-pop.
Darn, the full kit I bought isn't a full kit. :whyioughtta:
Anyone have any extra stickers or mini pops?

- PCB (wrapped in a blue baggie w/ pink bubblewrap)
- PCB Feet
- Manual A4 (monochrome copy)
- Instruction Sheet A4
- Instruction Strip (sticker)
- POP
- Piggy Mascott
- CD
- *A4 Promo Flyer
- *Poster
- Box (new style)
Shouldn't the Piggy Mascott and CD be marked as optional? These were given out at AOU and to resellers for free, who then included them in some, but not all of their new kits, since they ran out of quickly.
They were included in all new kits from AMI, as far as I can tell. Even the very last batch that Fujita sold in spring 2009. I bought multiple new kits from different vendors (Tops, Fujita, Excellent) from 2007-2009, and every single kit had both the CD and piggy mascot inside the box. Not all of the brand new kits came with the poster or promo flier, however, which is why I consider those optional.
With that said, you can consider them optional if you like. They're nothing special really.
I received my piggy keychain and MMP promo flyer in a new Ibara Black Label kit. I consider it optional. >:D
Perhaps the piggie keychain was optional, but the CD was a part of the kit?
Quote from: EOJ on January 06, 2010, 06:28:36 PMI bought multiple new kits from different vendors (Tops, Fujita, Excellent) from 2007-2009, and every single kit had both the CD and piggy mascot inside the box.
I thought the kit you bought last December did not have the piggy inside (http://www.cave-stg.com/forum/index.php?topic=452.msg8912#msg8912), but nice of them to rectify the situation afterwards for one of their top customers! =D
Nah, they just forgot to send it. Which they later did (for free). The other two people I know who bought a kit from them at that time got the piggie keychain too.
Case in point: Fujita once "forgot" to send me the BOX for a brand new kit (Espgaluda II). :laugh: Which, of course they also sent (for free) right after I notified them. Apparently some of the dudes in their shipping department aren't too swift.
For the sake of simplicity, I will mark the piggie keychain as "optional" with a question mark, as no one really knows. The fact they have been included with other kits (IKBL), as brentsg pointed out, further adds to the fishiness of the situation.
I think I'm going to have to send my piggy keychain to rtw for a battery mod soon.
Very cool, I'll add it to the main post. :righton:

Pretty neat that the PCB has an HDMI output!
I wonder if all the outputs are enabled, or it's just a byproduct of the motherboard they used.
If a joystick mech could be rigged up and HDMI used, it would be fun to waste money on. I wonder if it could be easily updated to the latest code?
Anyone got any pics f the original art and manual in a guwange kit ? was looking through my stuff today and i seem to have these with my PCB but im not sure if there copied or not ?

I think mine is copied :(
I bought this Guwange marquee, and it came with a free instruction strip. The marquee is original, but the strip looks printed. I've never seen a strip for Guwange as part of any kit, so am curious if anyone knows if there was such a thing? Despite the laser printer quality of the copy, it does look like a legit instruction strip.

I could try to scan it, but I'm afraid its pretty poor quality print. I'm more curious where it came from as it doesn't look like a homemade job. Perhaps its something from a magazine article, or some kind of loc test art?

Its not Jamma, but JVS. You need a JVS IO or Converter to play it, similar to Naomi or Type X mobo.
There is any official number about how many flyers Ketsui had from factory? I'm just missing those to complete my kit and that information seems to simply don't exist.
I think it's a pack of 50.
the most rumors i heard, was : the same pack as the espgaluda1 fullkit ?! (40 sheets ?!)

Woah, sorry I missed this Dave, any chance of a re-upload, for xmas? ???
My Ibara Black Label box has no sticker on it :'( maybe it is optional? I got it new from Fujita.
In the Akai Katana Onlineshop Limited ver. there is a strange textile bag with pockets on 2 sides. It's got exactly PCB-size but the PCB doesn't fit because the pockets are too narrow. Anyone got an idea what this is supposed to do?
It just houses the volume pot sword. Seems a bit big but I'm guessing it was the closest size available.
Ah that makes sense. So i can carry around the sword at conventions without having fear of accidentially stabbing someone.
I just obtained a NOS Espgaluda kit.
The flyer pack has 50 flyers in it.. counted them. :facepalm:
Also, on the bottom of the flyer pack was this letter. I have no idea what it says.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2089470/Espgaluda%20Letter.pdf
It says, "Please find enclosed 50 flyers" =D
(not really)
Soo... are you going to sell them at 10$ each? Or how much did the kit cost you? =D

It's a request to arcade operators to please distribute the flyers. It just has some introductory info for their cell phone games/website to convince people the flyers are worth putting out

It did not, just the B2 like you mentioned.
It's a very cool poster. I like when they bother to use some game screen shots and avoid almost naked young girls.
Had a space suitable for the B2 version so went with that :righton: I'll put a wanted thread up for completists sake anyway :whyioughtta:
(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh126/SuperPangster/P1020259.jpg)
How'd you do that so fast? I've taken a couple runs at framing the B1 version but the custom framing scared me off both times.
I'll try again soon.
=D I had the matsuri poster and a spare frame. My custom frames cost a fortune but they're so worth it.
That frame looks great
Does the Mushi Tama kit have different ball colours or should they all be pink and blue like the page 1 example? My used kit came today and had White and orange balls, I just wondered if they were different from box to box or if these were replacements
I think they're random
I found all my old kit pics and will put them up in the main post soon. Man, some of them were really beautiful, and all were mint and complete. Seeing them again brings back memories, and a bit of regret for selling some of them.
EDIT: Done.
I'm going to start uploading close-up pics of the kits I owned many years ago. Here are pics of a MFBL box:

I found a pic of the inside of a SDOJ box (first posted on Cave's now defunct blog site in April 2012):
(https://i.imgur.com/syNwvWf.jpg)
I noticed there is a cutaway in the box insert to hold the PCB feet (that is actually really cool). Was SDOJ the first game to have this? I have a Cave/Annex box with my MFBLA kit, and it does not have this cutaway in the insert.
Updated with more info/corrections. Still need pics of several kits, if anyone would like to help out. :righton:

I have a full Esprade kit with matching serials (pcb & box). I have the poster as well so I can snap a few pics if you want.

Hey I'd like to see that, specifically what the box looks like. I'm trying to confirm if the DonPachi, DDP, and ESP RA.DE. kit boxes are all the same or not.

DDP and ESP RaDe are the same. DP is probably a similar but shorter Atlus box but I've never seen one with matching serials.
Am I correct in saying that the Reco figure that comes with the limited edition PS2 game is the same as the one in the Mushihime-Tama kit? They look identical to me, can anyone confirm that they are the same?
Also, there appears to be 2 different versions of the Deathsmiles skeleton thing...I know it sounds crazy but they look slightly different. One has black lines filled in on the body and the other doesn't, there is also a different pull tab thing on the top of it's head.

Correct.

I think these were promotional items for some pirate medal game thing.
What about this:
(https://spinzshowroom.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/FK-Deathsmiles-D%C3%A9ball%C3%A9.jpg)
The tag attached to the skeleton is clearly says Deathsmiles.
FWIW I bought a few brand new DS kits back in the day, and none of them came with that skeleton thing. So if you want it just to have it, cool, but I wouldn't consider it part of the kit.
I think perhaps theres a DS skeleton and one for the pirate game then. It wasn't an official part of the kit, they were handed out at AOU/JAMMA. Leftovers may have been added to kits by certain suppliers.

Sorry for the delay in responding as I just noticed this...
here are some pics of the Esprade kit with matching serials. Too lazy to take out the poster and snap a pic together ;)

Thanks! That definitely looks different from my DonPachi box, although I'm not sure the box I have is the "standard" one as I have nothing to compare it to.

Still looking for pics of DonPachi and DDP boxes if anyone has one? I have a DonPachi (first development version) boxed kit but I don't know if it uses the same box as the normal version. I remember seeing a DDP box a long time ago but alas I do not have a picture of it.
DDP is exactly the same as ESP Rade. Donpachi is assumed to be the shorter box Atlus used at the time but I've never seen one with serials to confirm.
Does anyone have a picture of the original Deathsmiles 2 arcade poster?

That's a beauty! With a box carved out of a tree that grew in Ikeda's backyard. :laugh:

I was surprised that no one else posted a pic of it.
Deathsmiles II kit next ;)
There is also a DFK Black Label kit given to IremFan for doing some work for CAVE.
The PCB is signed with Ikeda's initials and a date. It also includes the company brochure. I'll try to take pics of that soon.

Awesome!
The Japanese kit is much nicer ;) The print quality on the US one is terrible. And they removed the voices from the game too! :-X

Haha. No, it wasn't me. My comment was just a joke ;)
Just wanted to contribute to this thread.
Glad to see Mushi 1.5 pics got added. I was just about to dig my kit out for a photo shoot but actually read the whole thread.
