My collection was far from complete, but I still had a pretty massive Turbo library (along with the full Turbo16, CD, Booster, TurboDuo, and tap + five controllers for each) that I sold to help fund my going over to live in Japan back in the day. Realistically, I'd probably not even play the thing much anymore, but I still miss it. There was just something about that system, its overall design, the controllers, the games, the cute little HuCards, all of it that just made me love the Turbo.
That's also part of the residual junk that builds up inside of you after you've been a "collector" for any length of time, though—that feeling that you're life is missing out for some reason on having a bunch of stuff that, at least in my case, I honestly would have more to have than to use.
