Am I missing out on something - why are they re-releasing a relatively common game? I've wondered this myself. These aren't really desirable games, either. I've not played any of these beyond a boot-up to be sure they worked when I bought them for my collection. They maybe be great but none of them ever seem to be "classics". So yeah, I have no clue why they re-release these. I kind of get the Star Wars stuff because Star Wars! But these obscure titles just don't make any sense to me.

RH | 4,904 Posted February 17, 2022 Author Share Posted February 17, 2022 (edited) LocK N' Chase, Sunsoft variant is for sale for $16 CAD and $6CAD shipped. Not the best condition, but definitely not the worst. This is especially good for anyone in Canada who doesn't want to deal with the export to Canada, but a reasonable price regardless. https://www.ebay.com/itm/125152950608 Edited February 17, 2022 by RH 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides the clean ML1 and ML2 that I am keeping for me, this is the second one I’ve picked up on eBay to share. I paid $16 all in for it, will sell it at cost+shipping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RH | 4,904 Posted February 26, 2022 Author Share Posted February 26, 2022 Oh, I also managed to get a DKC2 for about $100 shipped a couple of weeks ago. It was an auction that ended in the middle of the week, and I was shocked my lowball bid went through. It is in reasonably good shape (for an NFR) and has a sticker on the back. There was also a Kirby Blockball that ended in the middle of the week that also had a sticker and looked to be in good condition. I did not win that one. It was another, lowball $101 bid, but it still went for less than $125. Not a bad score for whomever got that one. There are also a few other GB NFRs on eBay right now, but they aren't the ones with NFR stickers on the front. They are standard carts, with stickers on the back which, IMHO, I'd never want to touch. Swapping out the backs of "cheaper" NFR on rarer ones seems too easy to do to fake it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
