Thanks man
And yes I also have the PAL Virtua Tennis big box (Originating from Spain or Portugal)

Lucky you, been looking for one of those for years now.
So what's the next thing on your list? The missing US games? Japanese? White labels? Vmus? The list is kinda endless :p

[Wombat]

To make matters worse, there are a few more of those game + controller packs out there.

My next project is in getting every white-label disc out there, I now have about 96 individual titels on white label, so still a long way to go

Yep, at least 4 that I know of, crazy taxi, virtua tennis, sc5 & soldier of fortune, but they only sold em in spain or portugal at the end of the DC lifespan (prolly to get rid of everything faster), so it's next to impossible to find em

Good luck on finding the flintstones , the other ones pop up regularly on ebay & the likes...but some are really expensive like shenmue 1& 2 or skies of arcadia. Others are fairly cheap, but just so rare, like evil twin of the milka edition of sega extreme sports....

The white labels are also next on my list, together with the limited editions (the big boxes with exta goodies) of japanese games. Only got 40 or so white labels atm, but I'll get there in the end

Funny that you mention Flintstones, back in the day I was in direct contact with the seller in Germany who had a whole case of them (this is where they all originated from).. long story short I had to sent money in a enveloppe, mail got lost, got found again and got delivered back at my home and in the meanwhile he sold out :'( ... price? €35,-!!!

And yes those box-sets were definitely a way to get out old stock at the end of the Dreamcast lifecycle. I snatched up my Virtua Tennis one from a Portuguese seller back in the day, he had loads of sets for sale, also a combination of PSO + VMU or sth like that if I recall correctly. Too bad I didn't have the funds back in the day to get them all.

Guess the only real hurdles with getting a full white-label collection is getting the F1 red bull demo and the Flintstones one, luckily the majority of high prices/popular one's I already got like Shenmue 1, 2, Skies of Arcadia, Headhunter, Half-Life (video), Sega Extreme Sports Milka, Kao the Kangaroo demo etc

I Got my copy of the flintstones at 100€ from this German guy, I remember the guy was having 6 remaining copies..
I should have bought them all lol
I didn't know that evil twin was "rare" as white label..
N.B: wombat your collection is just great !!

[mazonemayu]

Well it's not as rare as the other ones, bur how many times have you seen it? And at a fair price?

[sgmx]

To be honest since i've bought mine (at a cheap price years back) i didn't check how frequent it is being put in sale, you're the specialists guys
n.b: i clicked on your dreamcast collection link i was

Thanks sgmx

In essence it's hard to classify a regular white-label title as 'rare', seeing that these discs get offered very sporadically. Every now and then you see an (presumable) old member of the press unloading there whole collection of press disc and the market get overblown by nice items for good prices. On a related note, I'm very curious about the minimum quantity of disc's involved in a manufacturing run.

My guess is seeing that big ben really tried to make an effort out of the last few releases in Europe, that ironically the big ben published games should have gotten a decent white-label run. That being, said I suspect the launch title's to have the highest amount of white label's manufactured.
