The train left the station over the weekend. Here's what I got away with before it chugged out of Kansas City toward AZ...

I'd like the brew crew badge as I beta tested Spook O Tron, and here is my wall of NES with 100+ homebrews.  I think I also have 10 chiptunes in there, too, but I need to verify.

Honestly, with this Pikmin announcement, I have zero reason to turn on my Wii U ever again.

Pikmin 3 port announced

Insert "Yes!" .gif here

Looks like the box arrived at my place toda!  I will go through and have it out by the end of the week. I'll post pics of what I take when I get a chance to open it. I'm out of town until Wednesday night so it will probably get opened and sent back out on Thursday or Friday.

So excited for that one! Being able to dream and check out other islands will be super cool

Yeah. I know I was after Skinnygrinny. I don't know where The Count came from. Its no big deal to me either way, though.

I have not gotten it. I don't think Im next yet am I?

Hey! That means I'm next. Yay!!

Those are decent ones. Stitches is probably most sought after of the three

Question for you hardcore New Horizons fans... I did enjoy the game immensely for about a week, but haven't touched it since. I may well get back to it when I'm in the mood, so I'm hanging on to the game. My question is about Amiibos. I was holding on to some AC Amiibos thinking I'd use them in this game, but I'm starting to think I don't really care enough. So I guess what I'm asking for those in the know, is it worth throwing the ones I have on eBay as a lot or something, or are they not really worth anything? I just figured that with people so into the game right now, maybe they'd be in decent demand.

What I have is:

• The 3 Amiibo cards that came bundled with Amiibo Festival (sealed)
• The 2 Amiibos that came bundled w/ Amiibo Festival (loose)
• Cyrus (loose)
• KK Slider (loose)
• Reese (loose)

Do you guys think I'd get much for them, or not worth the hassle? (I do kind of like the KK Slider one, so I wouldn't mind hanging on to him for decoration, but have no attachment to any of the others).

Honestly, the only ones worth anything are the cards for specific high demand villagers like Marshal, Bob, Ankha, Lucky, etc. The actual amiibos don't really do anything since they are all NPCs and you can't invite them to the campsite.

I will definitely be buying that one

As someone who has a collection that is worth the cost of a house, I can't imagine selling it for a house, but maybe i'm not old enough yet

You haven't seen this house.

What if the house gets sold when you're in the middle of selling the collection? That would suck.

Lol! It won't

Are you selling because you need the money to make a downpayment? 

I saw a complete Wii U collection fetch over $3k in an eBay auction... that's the low end for a full set, other console sets are going to be worth way more. There are definitely people out there buying entire sets. Game stores included of course. I would say it wouldn't hurt to do one lot per system and put some feelers out there to see who's interested in buying. 

Yes. It would go towards the down payment. The only way we can swing it would be to raise an additional $200K from what we would already make on our current house. This would knock a big chunk out of that, obviously. I've always said when people see my game room and ask that I would take $250K with a smile. Now I am thinking more seriously about that question.

If someone wants to throw down about $250K for my collection, we can start filming this weekend!

Hey! Me first! Lol

I remember that sale. I have a bunch of heavy hitters but no cool custom shelves. Lol! I need to have a conversation with my CPA about this before I go too far down the rabbit hole. Most of this collection was assembled through yard sales and flea markets in the early 2000s and buying from all of you back in the NA days. I have no proof of purchase other than physical ownership. 

This thread took a turn I didnt anticipate. Lol! If you reinvest in real estate, though, would you have to pay tax?

Yeah. Slight I understand. Substantial can't happen or its not worth it. Of course it depends on the definition of the word substantial. But I know what you're saying. I wonder what the best course of action would be? Maybe compile a list and post an Ebay listing with a high BIN and see what offers come in?

My wife and I have an opportunity to buy our dream home and I am seriously considering selling off my collection. I never thought I'd get to this point, but here I am. My collection is easily in the 6 figures with over 3500 games and a ton of rarities. It ranges from Bally Astrocade to Xbox 360. I think I would hold on to Switch but maybe not. The games I would want to keep are easily attainable. I don't know. Just thinking.  Are there even people out there buying right now? How would one find such people? 

I just finished the restaurant in my second house.  What a chore!  Easily put in 40+ hours into that house with all the time travel to order all the things.  But, it turned out really nice.  It scored 162,000 on Sunday for a Gold HHA trophy.  Super proud of that.  Now taking a break from decorating and trying to get all the photos from my villagers.  It's tedious too haveing to time travel to give them each a gift each day.  Hopefully, tonight I will get a couple of them.  I started with Roald and Ankha.  If this method works, I will go with Coco and Raymond next, then Judy and Tia and finish with Julian and Marshal to have all of my villager photos. Then the update...

Aren't the servers pretty dead for Splatoon?  I tried to get on there at the beginning of the year and it could barely find me a game.
