Here's one I haven't seen for a few months.
Tekken 6 faceplate


Apparently these were given to the press at the Namco Bandai Editor's Day event.

Also...check out the Modern Warfare 2 faceplate by MadCatz

It's available for pre-order in the UK. No amazon.com yet.

That's the first Mad Catz MW2 plate I've seen. There could be two, like with Street Fighter IV and Resident Evil 5. There could be four, like with Gears 2: two in the US, and two in the UK.

Can't wait for the 10th.

I have a friend who has one of the Tekken 6 plates for me, but I haven't gotten it yet.

Check out the two Wall-E signed faceplates on ebay. item 250542431812
anyone know who the seller is?

[SpaceGhost2K]

That's Ghostrider. Those are legit. With them being signed by Andrew Stanton, they're well worth that $550. My Iron Giant that is signed by Brad Bird... man, I wouldn't part with that for less than a thousand dollars.

There were twelve of the vertical WALL-E plate made, but that yellow one that looks like WALL-E's front is a one of a kind made by me. That's real rust on it, BTW.

Awesome!

[Alx1138]

Any tips out there on the best way to get started with some (affordable) plates before stepping up to some of the more exclusive and custom styles?

[Air Effex]

I'm not a collector, but I would assume checking on ebay and looking for people selling their collection or maybe just lots?

[SpaceGhost2K]

Pierrevincy has a few for sale further up the thread that are priced pretty good. Also, lots of people are flooding eBay with stuff for Christmas right now, so just enter "360 faceplate" and see what's out there.

This guy has six of the Asian Butterfly and Cherry Blossom faceplates. Each plate design is taken randomly from a larger image so none of the images are exactly alike. He is running two auctions so he may have a lot more than six.

[SpaceGhost2K]

There are also a number of UK Gorillaz plates (at least three) so if you're looking, now's the time.

Hello guys.
What do you think? I can't tell.

[SpaceGhost2K]

There are only ten of them. The last one that sold was part of a deal between me and tacohead. He had two, shipped me one, and it was stolen by someone at UPS. It was insured for $500. About that time, one went up on eBay from a different location for $350 BIN so he bought it and sent it to me.

Since then the only other one has been another one by this guy. He listed it for $149 and it went immediately. Now he's listed the second one at $299. Had he not sold the first one stupid cheap he'd probably have sold this one in a heartbeat, but everybody can see how cheap the other one sold for so they don't want to do it. Personally, if you've got the cash and want the plate, I'd go as high as $350 or $400 for one, so $300 is a deal.

[SpaceGhost2K]

I think he's using the same picture though, so you might wait until some positive feedback shows up that the other winner got his plate and wasn't screwed. Might just be a guy looking to steal a little cash for Christmas. Look at his other feedback. I don't have time because I'm leaving right now, but I can look later.
