More Sega Saturn... Stuff

So I was buying random Stuff on Yahoo Auctions again. This time, a very very cool... uhm... Sega Saturn... tablet(?). Honestly, I don't know what it is. But it has the famous Sega Saturn claim "This Is Cool" on it, so I better believe it. Maybe Sega executives sniffed their coke on this tablet, who knows. It's very heavy and apart from the Sega Logo and the "This Is Cool" slogan free of any hints what it might have been and where it could have come from.

This Virtua Cop poster was bought on Yahoo Auctions as well and it was actually ridiculous cheap. Only 1.200 Yen, which is about 14 USD these days. Well ok, you have to count the Shopping Mall Japan fees to it. Anyway, I never actually saw something like this in Germany, so I am quite happy to be able to buy it from Japan.

I have already won the next weird Saturn stuff and will post about it, once I received it. Stay tuned.

Weird Sega Saturn Items

Just recently I bought some weird Sega Saturn related stuff. Stuff, which I hoped to find in Japan, but actually didn't. The first item is some kind of... jacket where you can put sheets of paper (stuff for school, your insurance policy or documents regarding your divorce) in. It's printed with a very cool Virtua Cop image featuring the cops Michael Hardy and James Cools as well as a Virtua Cop logo and some screenshots. I am really happy, that I found it, because it's crap like that, which I really want. You can buy Saturn games everywhere and even hardware isn't too rare.

The second item I bought, was even weirder. The seller stated it as a "Sega Saturn Sales Promotion Tool". After receiving it, I noticed that it's some kind of... uhm... pennant, which the staff of shopping malls put onto the shelves to gather the consumers attention.

It's some kind of very thin foil, with a gorgeous full color print on it, featuring the weird conehead from the Saturn commercials as well as Screenshots from Panzer Dragoon, Daytona USA and Virtua Fighter. Undoubtly the Saturn's biggest titles. Too bad I wasn't able to scan it properly, since it reflects the light so weird and thus it looks like grey on the scan.
