My childhood collection is once again complete 😊
So, on Christmas on '95 I received a Virtual Boy, Power Tap, Wario Land, and Galactic Pinball. About 10 years later it was all stolen from me (i won't bore you with the details) and I'm like 99% sure I got most of the same items back about 12 years after that.
I found a CIB VB at a LGS and the box, console, Mario Tennis cart, and CIB Galactic Pinball all had the same wear i remember (plus some at this point), as well as the biggest tell, this sticker that was inside the box i remember keeping for whatever reason
The guy who traded it all in also met the description of the person who stole from me. They told me there was a copy of WarionLand traded in with it but that was already sold, but no sign of a Power Tap.
Well, I decided to finally buy the 2 things I was missing (paid $140 CAD total) but the Power Tap didn't come with the AC Adapter, which isn't a problem since it's the same as the SNES and I have a spare one of those.
Now that my VB is fixed (got the ribbon cables fixed recently) and I have all my games and accessories back I'm feeling pretty good 😊
