The mother of all retro finds has shown up in Thailand. A member of SEGA Galaxy Board has discovered 4 shipping boxes containing 20 brand new Mega Drive IIs and multiple copies of 18 different Mega Drive games.
Everything in the boxes is new and sealed and duplicates are being sold off by the forum user. One of the new Mega Drive IIs will only set you back 70 Euros. Not bad! Games are being sold off at around 10 or 15 Euros a piece.
