I was farting around on ebay and found this...
http://www.ebay.com/itm/110921876419?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/110921876419?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649)
Couldn't resist. Clicked on "Buy it now".
Full report and mp3 to hit GTM as soon as it arrives. :D
-
So you bought it? Why don't you listen to it on Youtube or Spotify or something?

Cds are cooler. :gawe:

Lol, at first i thought that it was the real robot. Well, that was before i saw "theme" :P
-
It needs to be put on vinyl now.
-

Because I want to put the CD on display on my bar. Makes for good conversation. I know the song is on Youtube (I've posted it a couple of times much to the dismay of some members...)
Consider it a relic of Battlebots. Besides... maybe the CD has some hidden content. One can dream right? :D

^True. It's been in my head since I first saw the clip on BattleBots. Me and my mom XD

Well, when I get the package I can certainly help you with that. :D
So, the seller let me know he was going to throw in a freebie with the package... When I found out what it was I was like "OMG Squeeeeee I love you!!!!111!"
-
What did he throw in with the package ?
-
Yeah what is it? :D
-
RFL trading cards...

my guess is that it is a part of mmc

You paid $4.99 for a CD-R with a single song on it?
sh**, I could be a millionaire...
Kidding... Very interesting piece, but I do believe you overpaid a bit. The cover art is probably hard to come by, though.

Hahah! Actually the CD has three songs on it. You are kinda right though because I normally would only pay a buck tops for a music CD via ebay or thrift shop and then I just encode it instead of purchasing it for full price online.
And the Freebie is the Dr. Inferno Jr Soundtrack CD (4 songs on that one). I am currently conversing with the seller about other Battlebots Stuff. Nothing solid, more on that later.

:D I saw it on Ebay too while looking up Battlebots merchandise (Got sidetracked while looking for Okami plush dolls for my BFF's birthday present)
ah brings back memories

Man he gave you a better deal than he gave the guys on the RFL forum. He only offered them a pack of RFL trading cards with every purchase....

This can be our little secret then... Don't want those RFL guys getting super pissed eh? Unless they are inspired to make destructive bots while pissed, that might be kinda cool.
-
Maybe you can upload that Dr Inferno stuff too
-
Oh dear lord this is the best song I've ever heard.
-

I won't be doing that. Will have to explain later, bear with me.
-
Does that mean no HQ rip of Mouser either? D: sad face.
-
Sad face indeed.
-
Hahah. I have no problems with ripping the Mouser CD for you guys, mainly because that team is inactive and wouldn't/shouldn't care.
The Inferno CD was just made this past Feb. and is available for purchase at the infernolab online store. So, the creator is still trying to sell those and make a few bucks.
-
Oh, so the Mouser CD is still going to be ripped. Awesome.
-
Alright, box has arrived and been opened. Now I spill the beans, even though I think SKBT sniffed this out from a mile away... :P
So, after I paid for the Mouser CD the seller sent me a quick message saying that he was going to throw in a Dr. Inferno soundtrack for giggles. I replied that I am a huge Battlebots/Robot wars fan & asked that he let me know if he posts anything else for sale on eBay. His response to that was something along the lines of "Sooooo, what are you looking for?" I told him that I wasn't really interested in any of the toys but would love some artifacts from the Battlebots glory days.
At this point he lets me know that he is Jason Bardis, creator of Dr. Inferno, Towering Inferno, etc etc. I just about carpped my pants and couldn't believe I didn't make the connection sooner, because I had seen his Lego Battlebots for sale on eBay back in April and went to his website. I didn't realize that I had bid and won from the same ebay seller. :gawe:
So, I told him I wasn't looking for anything in particular... and offered to just shoot him some cash in exchange for a box of stuff from BB and preferably a piece of Dr. Inferno / Towering Inferno that I could cherish and hold close to me at night while I sleep.
He was wicked cool about it and agreed. He explained that he had some stuff collecting dust and even though Dr Inf and Tower were empty shell on display he would dig up some pieces that were used on those bots back in the day. So, he dug around boxed everything up and I waited for a week as the package voyaged from California to Vermont.

The Loot:
Mouser CD (rockin' will encode it and make it available to you guys)
Dr Inferno Soundtrack with cool autograph from Jason <3
Dr Inferno Soundtrack (Sealed... will be used as a prize in my upcoming tournament this Fall)
Battlebots Calendar from 01 or 02 I forgot, but it can be reused in 2013 :D
Battlebots the official Magazine issue 1 and issue 2
Huge PTC decal (unused)
an array of unused decals that never made it to bots over the years.
Battlebots competition handout guide for 1999 and 2000 (awesome stats and info about registered bots)
Battlbots the official guide. Huge book with tons of info and pictures from pre 2001 era
Robot Riots... A kinda cheesy book with info about general robotics and some tidbits of the popular bots of that time.
Unused Towering Inferno Vinyl Decal
Two heavy duty bolts from Dr Inferno Jr. and Towering Inferno.
All in all, pretty cool score. Lots of cool information / reading material. I am most excited about the unused Vinyl Decal. I am gong to think up something to craft involving the bolts and the decal to put behind my bar. It will take a bit of time to construct it.
Also, Jason is an awesome nice dude. I told him about GTM and he was a little familiar with the forum. He thinks its cool that we keep the game RA2 alive. :D

You lucky, lucky man. That towering inferno vinyl is going to look sweet.

Is it cool that I'm so envious of you right now that I'd like to flip this desk through the wall that is behind it out of righteous and rage-filled envy?
