Then forget the US Postal. I hope I'm not the only one who would contribute several dollars to see it handled by the capable people at UPS, which, as everyone knows, is more expensive but more reliable.

Hey guys we've been having a good chat and ill be sending him some stuff anyway in the next week or so. The tape will go in the box also so we can have a right giggle about it together. It may take a little time but it will be well worth it.
Thanks for the offer on the $ but you lads keep it.
I've sold so many BB and LB and bought lots to that this will be my way of giving something back to you all.

The buyer has still not paid for the tape so it looks like at the mo I may still have one for sale. I'm just afraid after we actually here what is on the tape nobody will want it as I'm positive it's going to be really bad lol.

It all depends what you're asking for it, buddy!

Yeah, I'm curious why everyone is so curious what's on it.

Coelocanth -
I am always curious about things I didn't know existed. For instance the extra large coloring books. No clue that they were available, but they look awesome. And the pee soaked sleeping bag....wait, no that one I am not in the least bit curious about. But I think it will be a good addition to this site to have the Comics, Annual, and now the tape all on here. I wish someone could get the UK comics scanned, I'd love to see them too.


Jay-
I agree it will be horrible. But hopefully your buyer pays up or someone offers you more that $30 for it. I can't imagine there's a huge demand, but with the money people throw at Battle Beasts on ebay, I am surprised it went so low. And I know I and others that have shared on here don't always get their appreciation, so I want to say thanks for doing this. I personally don't have a desire to own the original tape, but I'm very curious as to what it is and what it says. If it's in Japanese, German, Hebrew, who knows. But I appreciate you sharing it.

So apparently I was the one who won this auction. I had no idea that I won until I was notified by ebay today- in which I immediately sent payment.
The weird thing is that I put in a bid, and as I watched the final seconds of the auction, I noticed there were some bids that went in. But after the
auction ended, I wasnt alerted with "congratulations" or the "payment" option that usually happens after you win. Which is strange. Did anyone else
on the board experience any thing similar to this in the past? I also had an instance where I "won" an auction, yet when I went to send payment, I was alerted
that I recieved this in error, and could not send payment due to another person winning the item with a higher bid. Anyway had I known that I had won
it, I would have more than happy to send the tape to get digitalized and put here on the board, as I too have always wanted to solve this cassette mystery.
If for whatever reason we are unable to get a good recording from the tape that Jay sends, I am more than willing to send mines as long as I get it back.

Outdated technology solves nothing!

so ever going to happen? probably not.

[retroactive80z]

Sorry guys I've had way more important things going on like having my first baby girl.
Sorry if a tape recording of a battle beast story is so important to you Bachamn but to me family is more important.

Let me know who you guys want it sent to and as long as they are a respected member I'll get it sent out.
Then everybody can have a copy apart from Bachamn.

To be far to Jay, we had already been talking a while ago (probably last Dec maybe) about having him send out the cassette tape to me to be digitized. I have an entire audio department at my disposal that is willing to help me get the cleanest quality transfer while also taking the utmost care while handling the tape. (A cassette tape that hasn't been opened or run in 25+ years is going to be pretty brittle for most cassette players). I had done several customs for Jay last winter, and he was planning on having me make some more customs for him. He was just going to send out the tape to me along with the figures/materials for the customs to save on shipping. However, I had several other projects (other customs along with professional film projects) that I had to finish first before I started working on more customs for him.

 

So even though it seems like things have been forgotten about, they haven't. Jay was very upfront and willing to send me the tape along with the figures needed for the new customs. Just things have been a little bit slow about getting those customs going.

 

I still plan on doing more customs for Jay if he's still looking for customs to be made, so either we can wait until then, or if people would rather have it done sooner, Jay seems willing to send it to someone immediately to have a transfer made. Either way, it will happen. I just wanted to make sure everyone knew that there were indeed plans for the tape, and that Jay wasn't using it for any other purpose other than getting a digital version out to the community. It just has taken a little bit longer than initially expected.

[koppenschevelle]

Burn. And did not mean to downvote you, Koppen. (Man I hate that you can't take back downvotes.)

What is a downvote?

[bachamn]

He's referring to the little +rep button in the corner. It's easy to accidentally click vote down instead of vote up, and not possible to undo. And since I was too preoccupied to remember to mention it in the last post, thank you for offering your time and facilities to take on this endeavor.

[mca19]

This is what makes guys like Koppenschevelle needed on these forums.  If I owned the tape I would've thrown it in a 1990's cassette player and tried to record it with a microphone off the speakers of my computer.  Then I'd hit my computer like Zoolander and try to get the files out of the computer.  To have people that are not only willing to help, but actually know what they are doing is a great thing. 

 

If this ever gets done, I think it will be a great addition to the forums.  I would also love to see the addition of the two UK specials comics and things of that nature that aren't easily accessible on the market. 

 

Please keep moving forward on this project, I and obviously several others would greatly appreciate it.
