Miles V. sent this in a while back:

So what if all those Tenda tribes gathered together for a big ceremony? I’m sure it would have its own kind of quirkiness. I was thinking of world music when creating this in my past time. Not only is this my longest track made so far, but it includes over 30 instruments that made it possible. See how much you recognize. I have a reference in there, too. Enjoy!

…Not shy anymore.

This is from his “Moonsidian” album. I posted another song from it here a while back.

This past week was weird, it was like “EarthBound Collectors Week” or something. The EarthBound display card for $305, LucasTizma and the $3000 addition to his collection, and the new mini Mr. Saturn plushes. I don’t have much of a collection, but I really like keeping up with this stuff and seeing other people’s collections.

Anyway, here’s what other EarthBound-related stuff has happened this past week throughout the information super-tubeway.

Community News

My face melted, so I can’t possibly keep up with every single thing that happens in the EarthBound community, so if you’ve done something cool or if you know of something cool that belongs here, let me know!

Cool Auctions & Merchandise

The big EarthBound merch news this past week was the EarthBound display card that sold for $305 and the new mini Mr. Saturns that hit Japanese arcades. But here’s some other interesting stuff that showed up this week in case you missed it.

Of course, you can also see all the EarthBound / MOTHER stuff on eBay all gathered in one handy place here!

And here’s some cool stuff on Yahoo! Auctions Japan:

And stuff on Amazon:

What’s Up With Itoi

  • Nothing too much of interest this week. For some reason it seemed like it was “unusual headwear week” though.


Final Thought

The Where’s Ness stuff is running low, so this may be one of the last ones unless readers send some more in. This week’s looks pretty interesting, see what you can find!

Those mini-Mr. Saturn plushies hit Japanese arcades yesterday and they’re already on eBay now! Someone is selling a bunch of them here for $50 each.

I’m not sure how often these will show up on eBay, so this is probably a good chance to snag one before they get especially rare as time goes on. Even the normal-sized Mr. Saturn plushes are pretty hard to come by nowadays.

EDIT: These are suddenly all over Yahoo Auctions Japan now. Here’s a pic from one of them!

That’s good eatin’!

A little while back I posted about how new mini-Mr. Saturn plushes would be hitting Japanese arcades in February. Well, it’s February and I think today (in Japan) marks the first day that they’re available. I see that they’re starting to show up on Yahoo Auctions Japan too.

It’s still too soon to know how high these will sell for, but my guess is that when they’re on eBay they’ll generally go for between $50 and $80. Any higher and it’d be far cheaper to just import some from Japan.

If anyone gets ahold of one of these, please take lots of pics and/or videos for us! If you’re in Japan, you can see a list of arcades that have these guys here.

I covered this topic before in this update debunking a myth about the “demon baby” story in EarthBound, but fellow EarthBound fan and translator Chewy recently posted an article giving some more info about the subject and the book “Let’s Meet in a Dream”.

Check out her article here!

Remember that EarthBound display card that showed up on eBay the other day? Well, the auction ended, and the final price was $305.01 8O

EarthBound is well-known for its expensive merchandise these days, but even $300 is a surprise to me. Here are some other EarthBound things in the past that have been surprisingly expensive:

I’m sure there’s been other stuff, if you remember anything I’ve forgotten let me know. Also, I should give up my day job and become an EarthBound merchandise dealer :P

Many months ago I posted about LucasTizma’s latest additions to his MOTHER collection. But a true collector can never stop, which is why he went and ordered yet another huge batch of MOTHER stuff from Japan. Here are his latest spoils:

When I first saw these pics I thought, “Oh, that’s not a very big collection.” But then I realized that this is just his most recent stuff from this month. Also, it cost $3000 8O I can’t even begin to imagine what his entire collection cost!

This is pretty old by now, but it’s still pretty neat.

The SUMmers of ONEtt, TWOson, THREEd, and FOURside is TENda

For some reason I think it might’ve been the old Starmen.Net/EarthBound.Net staffer Mars who figured that out about 10 years ago. Maybe I’m remembering wrong though.

This wasn’t intentional, though. Tendas are called Gumis/Gummies in MOTHER 2. It’s just a neat coincidence in EarthBound :P

You know how some stores like Walmart or Toys R Us sometimes have (or had) little display things for each video game they have in stock? Well, apparently one for EarthBound just showed up on eBay:

Super Nintendo SHELF DISPLAY Card EARTHBOUND Super Rare

Here are some pics:

In all my time, I’ve never ever seen one of these (for EarthBound) being sold. So if you’re a collector, this is your chance to get something almost no one else can. Also, how I wish EarthBound was still at that price. Stores in the late 90s really wanted to get this game out of their stock.

I came across this the other day on this site, which I recommend. Never mind the name, it comes from an old 4chan thing.

Anyway, here’s the pic!

I really like it a lot. I don’t know who made it, though. If anyone knows, lemme know!
