Wow, do you have any idea how much one of those display cases went for back then? I don’t, I’d like to know… especially the “environment” one lol.

And there was a job at this time where 150 people were servicing all the display stuff in the US? Imagine that job, driving all over, staying at hotels, and just talking to people about Nintendo merch at stores.. fixing and re-boxing stuff.. I wonder how much they got paid for that. Those days are over. I don’t see merchandise displayed like this anymore.

I remember walking into SEARS or what have you and seeing cases like this and being excited and wanting it all. Just waiting all year for Christmas, hoping to get one or two games. What a victim of marketing I was. That’s probably why I keep a small collection; to remember the excitement which is not present in adult life anymore.

I have heard stories of a few people finding old Nintendo displays at flea-markets, on craigslist, etc… someday maybe I’ll make my own repro display to keep all my treasures, I mean @!#% in it.
