Subject: What Michael Jackson Item Should I Buy Next?

Written By: apollonia1986 on 06/13/11 at 8:31 pm

Hi Y'all!

As you know, I am the resident Michael Jackson fanatic here and I need a little help. Every few months, I get an antsy feeling that I've learned to associate with myself getting the MJ Bug and I want to buy something MJ related. But the problem is, there's such a vast amount of merchandise on the market and I really can't make up my mind what to get. If I' had my way, I'd own everything on Ebay and have a museum erected to house items. But since I'm a normal girl of normal means--since my boyfriend wants to invest in a replica of a Prince guitar this month--I am looking for advice on what to get.

I'm kind of over shirts as I have eight in my possesion already and posters, I have dozens. LOL 

And I'm trying to limit myself between the Thriller and Bad eras.

Thriller

Bad

So if anyone has any suggestions, please bounce them off me.

You should buy an actual arcade unit of his Moonwalker game.  That would be cool to have.

don't know, but you made me think about this parody I once wrote that I haven't looked at in a long time.                      http://www.amiright.com/parody/80s/michaeljackson153.shtml

Hey guys!

Thanks for all the wonderful suggestions. but can we keep the top price at about 100-150 dollars? A normal amount. I can't buy Neverland--I wish like hell I could!!!!--and I have no palce for an arcade game. I've never even owned a game system. LOL. But the playing cards seems like a cool idea. I have 99 vintage cards from 1984 and I could look into the new ones.

This might be a little expensive.

This.

Originally sold as a conversion kit, you can get a generic 3-player cabinet for $200-500, and an original board set should run you around $50 or so.  Or you can run MAME off a spare PC.  Either way apollonia1986 probably already has more than enough high-resolution clip-art to decorate a cabinet and make it look better than the original.  As much as I enjoy mocking the game for its creepiness (I'm too lazy to find my thread on the matter, but it's buried in here somewhere), the game itself is a fun isometric-perspective shootemup, and once you have your first coin-op game, it's easy to wire up adaptors to plug other games into it.

That scares me.

@Billzy. Shut up. Michael wore briefs. NOT PANTIES. He's not Prince!  8-P

No thanks. LOL. The sight of that beast spoils my stomach. LOL. But his face would be good for someone trying to lose weight, one look at him and you lose your appetite for a while. The Conrad Murray diet.
