A collector doesn't have to be rich, they just have to be patient, smart, and lucky. What I've found is that the more patient you are, the luckier you are. Be persistent and you usually can find what you're looking for, for the price you're willing to pay.
Oh man this is beautiful, what a perfect full set! As a Gundam fan, I'd love to own this, even if it's JP region locked as I probably wouldn't use it anyway. But I bet the price has shot up even more since your purchase! Also I've never seen the GB Player disc in case, didn't know it had a holder for a GBA cart. That's awesome lol. The little things, you know? Thanks for sharing this unboxing!
In the past I always bought in lots, kept what I want and sold off what I don't want or need. Today, I fund my collection by selling off some doubles or sealed games I have, and frankly I make a bit of money tutoring, painting beer pong / flip cup tables, and some other side projects. To snipe auctions, I usually just search ebay over and over again when I want a specific item. When I find it, I set a price in mind for it that is my maximum, then I try to snipe it for that amount
Yes there are many of these for handheld Nintendo consoles. Good thing I am not into them yet. I have been trying to make sure I am in a really good mood when I shoot my videos now. This usually makes for a more entertaining video
These Japanese collectors consoles are just plain beautiful. Way out of my price range and reach but if I could there are so many that I would get including this beauty.
My most sought after Nintendo console! One day I'll be able to afford this! When that day comes, I'll return to this video & let you know just how much I'm smiling about it :D
As far as I know, Japanese and USA Gameboy Players are identical. The discs are different though - I am quite certain it does not matter which disc you use
Yes I know I am a little odd like that. I like to let the anticipation grow; I am the same with opening Christmas gifts in that I like to wait a bit. This makes the reveal so much sweeter I feel :P I do plan on getting the those Gamecube consoles someday, hopefully this year. Thank you!
Eventually yes, I hope. I have several major things to save up for in life so my collecting very expensive objects will likely go on hold until I sell off a lot of my doubles / unnecessary items.
I think I will ... eventually. It will likely be one of the last things I try to obtain collecting wise for the Gamecube just like how I am waiting to buy a 64DD
sorry to be a bit of a fanboy, but Char is not in gundam wing. what you saw was a "char clone": a guy who wears a mask and dresses in red, and shows characteristics of char. Wanted to clarify. also, would you like my everything for that glorious box?! :P
by the way he wasn't in gundam wing however the character in gundam wing is considered a char clone meaning a copy of the character in a different show
I would think that completing that set would be difficult and expensive. In the end you might end up spending more than a complete set. Personally, I would wait for those reasons
He isn't. You don't need to be rich to buy things worth 500 or even a thousand to a few thousand dollars. It's all about saving for one thing you love. Try it sometime, like, something you buy regularly like a soda, movie ticket, pizza, etc. find how much you spend a week/month. Then save whatever that is every month and see how much you accumulate. As long as you stay true, you'll always be able to have a fund to use on things you want when they come available.
cool video lithium will you be collecting the panasonic q gamecube 1 day ? i got got mine from australia and it cost me a small fortune. collecting can be so expensive lol .
Sadly, no. It is out of my price range for something that would only allow me to play games in a language I do not understand. This Char console though, I am able to play games from anywhere world wide - if I wanted. Strange reasoning I have isn't it?
As a Nintendo collector do you by any chance know where I can get those Gamecube lid Logo's ( I want to replace mine stock one for a more special one ).
Char in gundam wing? NANI? Char has many clones (characters iwth similar traits) in other gundam shows but he himself only appears in UC timeline shows so the original gundam, zeta gundam, Char's counter attack and Gundam the origin
im a huge gamecube collector and ive just seen this console for £400 new in the box on ebay, i dont have £400, im so pissed, im never going to find such a great deal ever again
Agreed! I was only interested in it when it was under $400 with shipping but it really is a unique special edition with the different colored Gameboy Player and Gundam figure
How is it that you get a package in the mail, open it up, and pull out this amazingly, rare, and awesomly awesome console in box, then set it aside for roughly 3 1/2 months????? I would go insane!!!!! Anyways, awesome video and console. Are you going to get the mint green tals of symphonia gamecube console? Or the pearl white? If you do, please make videos of them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU ROCK
hello lithium do you mind me asking how much you paid for the gold toys r us nintendo 64 there very hard to find and am not shore on the value thanks joe ?
Have you actually seen the original Mobile Suit Gundam or the movie trilogy yet? I think watching one of those would make you know Char as a character and see his Zaku in action. I'm sure that'd let you appreciate the the console and the figure a lot more. The movie trilogy is a fine substitute for the tv series if you don't want to commit a lot of time.
You called the box the "console" at 1:19 and again at 1:41... got on my nerves just a bit the second time ;) As a point of reference (in case you want to include this note) I sold a loose controller by itself for $110 in January on eBay. And was it just me or were you a bit more "entertaining" than usual in this vid LoL. Lastly, Nintendo has released a bunch of special Char version red consoles + handhelds over the years, quite cool to research.
Does the console have a the digital port on it so you can use the component cable? I know that Japan had a D terminal connector so I'm not sure if that cable will work.
char doesn't come out in gundam wing. that's actually milliardo peacecraft that you're talking about. I don't blame you for confusing him for char because gundam is known to have a char clone in just about every series
Bro your collection is fan-fucking-tastic and I'm so damn jealous. This may be a bit of personal stuff... how do you manage to save money/ snipe the auctions on these things?
The red coloring makes it 3 times faster!
Thank you
that controller tho.... I want that one the luigi one and the emerald blue. so many things a man wants but cant have
Does this gamecube processes at three times the speed?
+JJULLER hehe get it

Japan always comes out with the best stuff, games, consoles, clothes and everything else. The best gamecube I have ever seen that I never knew existed
Yes there was Ace Pilot - I briefly mention it when talking about the special disc at 3:52

Id use it for jp region locked gundam games
You are absolutely correct - I was thinking of Zechs Merquise. I am shocked at how similar they look to one another. Thanks for pointing it out

Today, I fund my collection by selling off some doubles or sealed games I have, and frankly I make a bit of money tutoring, painting beer pong / flip cup tables, and some other side projects.

This whole stuff being $500 is more understandable than the Apple Monitor Stand being almost $1000.

Watching this again in 2024 after telling friends about this glorious Game Cube
Just wanted to say great video as always. Love to see what other collectors other than myself has. Keep them up, your awesome!!!!!!
As far as I know, Japanese and USA Gameboy Players are identical. The discs are different though - I am quite certain it does not matter which disc you use
I enjoy both of those guys too
Yes I know I am a little odd like that. I like to let the anticipation grow; I am the same with opening Christmas gifts in that I like to wait a bit. This makes the reveal so much sweeter I feel :P I do plan on getting the those Gamecube consoles someday, hopefully this year. Thank you!

I always wanted this cube, but MAN does your camera's white balance not do it justice
I bought it over a year ago (or more I am trying to remember) for $125 or less. It has risen in value since
Red Gamecubes, Red Wiis, What's next!? Red Switches? *Sees Super Mario Odyssey bundle* DAMNIT! >:(
I think I will ... eventually. It will likely be one of the last things I try to obtain collecting wise for the Gamecube just like how I am waiting to buy a 64DD
I think the Gundam console is really awesome to fans, yep! I don't even have that Animal Crossing memory card yet
Very true statement. More like test it and then put it away to look pretty for decades to come
North American, European, and Japanese GameCube controllers also work on all 2006 Wiis
Jesus christ that GC looks gorgeous
Actually, I did not disclose what I paid to get this set. I was very patient and got it when the time was right.
Awesome! Thanks for letting me know
sorry to be a bit of a fanboy, but Char is not in gundam wing. what you saw was a "char clone": a guy who wears a mask and dresses in red, and shows characteristics of char. Wanted to clarify. also, would you like my everything for that glorious box?! :P
Nope you are absolutely correct - I do have an annotation at 0:38 that says this already :P Nothing wrong being a huge fan though!
I have just receiv mine this week, so happy !
Partially yes it is
I do have a Gamecube Freeloaded. Haven't used it much yet; nor have I tested a PAL game on it :(
That GameCube looks so good
I truly wanted the buy this......was too expensive!!!!
Sweet stuff. GameCube is definitely an appealing system to collect for, but I've resisted so far. :)
by the way he wasn't in gundam wing however the character in gundam wing is considered a char clone meaning a copy of the character in a different show
seeing an unboxing of this in 2013 makes me bleed happy
Sweet Jesus! I want that! :-)
Thanks! I noticed you commented on a few other videos from Ontario - are you also a Canadian?
Awesome unboxing video bro! That's a pretty sweet boxed console to get.
The whole set goes for around 10,000 yen / $100 / £75 in Japan. i have bought two over there and sold on ebay for a little over double.
what more could I ask for? his wavebird!!
I realize my mistake with Char...sad really. Char clone though! The console really is something. I am happy I got it
I would think that completing that set would be difficult and expensive. In the end you might end up spending more than a complete set. Personally, I would wait for those reasons

So sick man I love gamecube and gundam as well! Awesome video man
damn I love special GC controllers. i still want to get my hands on a white original japan release GC controller.
I need 7 more Gamecube consoles (I have 7) and at least 8 more controllers.
cool video lithium will you be collecting the panasonic q gamecube 1 day ? i got got mine from australia and it cost me a small fortune. collecting can be so expensive lol .
ok that's pretty cool. Never seen one of those before.
Sadly, no. It is out of my price range for something that would only allow me to play games in a language I do not understand. This Char console though, I am able to play games from anywhere world wide - if I wanted. Strange reasoning I have isn't it?
As a Nintendo collector do you by any chance know where I can get those Gamecube lid Logo's ( I want to replace mine stock one for a more special one ).
Why are there not that many GameCube unboxing videos on UA-cam???
I wish!
Char in gundam wing? NANI? Char has many clones (characters iwth similar traits) in other gundam shows but he himself only appears in UC timeline shows so the original gundam, zeta gundam, Char's counter attack and Gundam the origin
I think staying a little focused is a good thing. I still need a few N64 items before I am done that.
A combination of excitement, enthusiasm, and being too close to the camera :P
where do you get all of your japanese games and stuff? just ebay and other auction sites or do you have an import place you buy from?
just because the copyright states 2003, the product could have been released later
you seem happy in this video
I was just about to message you and ask when you were going to unbox it, and then I saw this video was posted!!!
im a huge gamecube collector and ive just seen this console for £400 new in the box on ebay, i dont have £400, im so pissed, im never going to find such a great deal ever again
Glad I bought mine before Covid-19... $_$
You need a Freeloader or Free Reader disc
Theres a lot on Ebay, ranging from 500 to almost 1500. cool console but idk about that price
Agreed! I was only interested in it when it was under $400 with shipping but it really is a unique special edition with the different colored Gameboy Player and Gundam figure
@@NintendoCollecting yeah the highest I'd go would be like 200. But I'm an average collector lol
@@irregularmana6216 it's good to have a budget to work off of and keep you limited from overspending. I get lucky sometimes and find a great deal

Just ebay and one contact I have in Japan
You can already tell he is the biggest Nintendo fanboy
Of course. What gave it away lol.
Who cares lmao that is a badass system
hello lithium do you mind me asking how much you paid for the gold toys r us nintendo 64 there very hard to find and am not shore on the value thanks joe ?
I have only found them online
In person retro games stores. Online ebay
Have you actually seen the original Mobile Suit Gundam or the movie trilogy yet? I think watching one of those would make you know Char as a character and see his Zaku in action. I'm sure that'd let you appreciate the the console and the figure a lot more. The movie trilogy is a fine substitute for the tv series if you don't want to commit a lot of time.
yes, and it does, I already got mine.
Wow! Thats a nice looking console!
I always wanted this.
I own a few N64 Hori Minipads

OK wicked cool looking model.
how much?
I also have a transparent red and a gray nintendo 64 controllers *Surprised Pikachu face*
:0
sheesh 500 and up you are a die hard collector. im probly just going to start collected for Nintendo.
Depends how you define "rich" - my bank account is pathetically poor right now.
not a huge fan of the color,but i do like the symbol on it and the little extras
hey man love your channel also love that you respond to your viewers unlike lukemorse even though you have more subs than him
Thanks! Replying to everyone is impossible unfortunately. We all have lives too

I wanted to ask where did you get the GameCube I really want to buy one please reply as soon example
Thinking about picking one of these up, does the back of the console have both video ports?
Okay, two thing I need to say one the Game Boy Player kicks ass! And second is there a pink Gamecube controller?
What about the gameboy player? can you play USA/PAL gameboy games with it?
Do you know where i could buy protection for this box console ? Thks
Hey Lithium do you own a Nintendo Hori controller for the controller?
Do you mean composite and RCA?
Does the console have a the digital port on it so you can use the component cable? I know that Japan had a D terminal connector so I'm not sure if that cable will work.
Josh Rinvelt its dol 001 so it has a digital port
I hope you save the box and everything just in case you want to sell it in the future. I'm sure it'll be worth a lot.
Worth 1000 now
I need this now
lol char was never in Gundam wing fail
zayku lol
He thinks Char is Zechs Merquise
Trenzinho da Alegria To be fair, that IS the Clone that shares the most similarities with him.
Yeah no :D
char doesn't come out in gundam wing. that's actually milliardo peacecraft that you're talking about. I don't blame you for confusing him for char because gundam is known to have a char clone in just about every series
Showed everything but the ports, what video output capability does it have?
This is so sexy that I'll forgive you your Char mistake. =P They made a Char edition 3ds, too, I really, really want that one.
Bro your collection is fan-fucking-tastic and I'm so damn jealous. This may be a bit of personal stuff... how do you manage to save money/ snipe the auctions on these things?
