I couldn't help myself, third time lucky.
« on: November 04, 2012, 05:41:25 PM »
This came right out of the blue last week after a catch up email with a friend in the business.
I didn't think I would buy another one but I stumbled upon a Aus delivered Creature From The Black Lagoon in fantastic all round shape with very nice working hologram and I just had to have it.
This one has been in a dealers collection for around 15 yrs or so and is a lovely  original example of this game and the price was just way too good to pass up.
This will be my third cftbl since getting into the hobby and it will be my last( the other two have been long gone, traded or sold), this one is a keeper. Third time lucky so they say.
I will post some pics in a couple of weeks when I pick it up, very happy to have gillman swim back into the house!

Top game!! Years ago I shopped one for a mate. He'd bought it for his wife for Christmas. I had it about six weeks and really didn't want to see it go.

Love this title. Better player than games priced twice as much. Good to hear it added to your collection  ^^^

After a on again off again situation I viewed the pin today and will be picking it up in a few days.
Great original condition, just needs a clean and re-rubber and it is good to go. Cab decals are original and look like new, pf has no wear,the holo is nice and green and at just over 2.5k I think it was an absolute bargain.
