It is! Bought it from a nice Canadian and he got it here for me safe and sound! I'm pretty sure this, disney violetta, and winx club were all canada only (but I'm not 100% sure )

I can definitely say that Disney Violetta has many and many copies around in Brazil. It's very easy to find and even a couple weeks ago I found a store selling sealed copies for US$4. 

Got some 360 games, even some sealed ones:

Some more 3DS games and Pokemon Platinum for the DS:

But what I liked the most recently was being able to complete the Playtronic Nintendo 64 set.
I was missing Wave Race 64 and the console itself:

This makes me want to collect Brazilian games soooo bad. I love slipcovers. They are all North America compatible right? The carts are all ESRB? 

Here's a pic of a sealed 3DS game with the sticker on the slipcover and game box:

Very nice! I assume you are going for the full set?

I am! Decided to go for it a few months ago and bought a lot of games since. 

If someone is able to get a regular edition (or even the special edition) and ship it to Brazil, I'm willing to pay for it.

They are the same games released in the US including the US seal. 
They just have the slipcover and stickers on top and bottom.
I will take a picture of one of my sealed games.

Just discovered they won't ship it to Brazil even though they did it in the past.
Don't know how I will get a copy now

That's interesting, did Freakyforms Deluxe release in South America with an outer slipcover? I don't think the North American release had that.

All 3DS games officially released in Brazil had a slipcover (the same goes for WiiU games and some Wii games).
The slipcover was just an easy way to have a cover in portuguese without having to seal the games again.
They would put a sticker on the slipcover to prevent it from falling.

Since some of you posted a picture of yourS 3DS collections, I decided to do the same. I have 272 games right now. There are 10 more on the way but I don’t know when they will arrive.

I'm on the way to the 3000 game mark.
Those are the games that I got this month up to yesterday.

Some more 3DS games. 
 

More PS3 Favoritos games and some other stuff: 
 

The last 2 Brazilian GBA games that I was missing for the set but Spider-Man is missing the manual: 
 

Ninja Gaiden for the Game Gear is complete and also found 2 Japanese Xbox 360 demos:

Thought so.

So world heroes 2 is showing a bunch of sales data as recent as 8/4 with avaerages for all 3 categories. 

Sonic wings 2 and samurai spirits have no sales data on ebay for the past few months. It looks like there was a keyword error from when these were first added to the database years ago before even Gocollect times. 

I do see a CIB sonic wings 2 sale on ebay from 6/1, so that will be added. But there are no sales to add for samurai spirits that i can locate on ebay. 

These 2 will have the keywords adjusted, and will pull in sales from now on. 

 

Thanks @Magus!

I'll look into these, thanks for the report. Are some of these Japanese games?

All 3 of them are Japanese.

@Magus I noticed that some of my AES games don't show a value. Those games are: World Heroes 2, Sonic Wings 2 and Samurai Spirits Zero Special.

Can you look into it? Thanks!

I'd be a bit surprised myself, in my experience it's the space between the end of a system's lifespan and before it's around 20 years old that stuff is the cheapest. You're probably in a good place to start, just not as good if it comes to those few and far between rare games that explode in price early. If anything, those games will probably only get more expensive, so I would think you're still in good position.

You're right. It's easier to buy now rather than in a couple years but I feel like it's already not as cheap as I was hoping it to be. I managed to find a lot of good deals here in Brazil but I already had to import some games and will have to buy a lot more in the US. If only the borders were open, I would definitely go to the US and would save a lot on shipping.

Groom and Glam Pups is going to be a bitch

Seems like there are a lot of us looking for it lol
My biggest chance is if one appears here in Brazil but if in the US it's extremely rare already, here it will be almost impossible.

Reading some of the posts here, I get the feeling I'm a bit late to 3DS collecting lol

I would never imagine to be 76 differente plates.

If anyone wants to work on Snowboard Kids, feel free. I got better at it but I still can't beat it.
To tell the truth, I've been playing some other games for the last couple weeks. I need to get back to the N64 and play something.

N64.

That would be interesting LOL

Limited Run Games announced that Atooi Collection will be released next Friday!

I actually do have that one.  I'm surprised it's not gone up in value over the years.

It got ported to PS3 and PC. That drove down its value.

Finally found a great looking PS1 DTL-H1101. It wasn't cheap but I'm extremely happy to add it to the collection.

Yea, I currently have 183 with most big boxes and the expensive rare titles. Just need to get Barbie and I don’t see it up complete ever either. Obviously it isn’t going to be cheap, but as more people go for a full set I’m afraid prices may go even higher and at some point I’m not sure I’m going to be willing to pay the going rate. Hope I’m wrong and a case is found, or we find out it was prevalent in Mexico or South America somewhere.

It definitely isn’t prevalent here in Brazil lol there are a few rare games in the US that can be found with ease here but sadly Barbie is not one of them.

SMT games are on fire after SMT 5 trailer on Switch.

I’m definitely glad I picked up these late 3DS releases. I may go for a full set if I can locate the Barbie game at a fair price.

Right now, my biggest problem is finding any copy of Barbie. Since I started to go for the fullset, I have yet to find a CIB copy for sale.

One thing I do worry about is how easy the 3DS is to mod and how available all the games are on the internet. I know that hasn't slowed down Saturn or Dreamcast collecting or prices but it still makes me wonder how much of a demand physical games can have considering how simple it is to play them all after about an hour of tinkering, downloads and installs

I don't think it will be a big problem for the collecting scene. You can play any game from the previous gens on almost any console you want and that hasn't made prices lower at all.

What I find interesting about the 3DS is the size of the library. It's smaller than the GBC library. I think that once people notice this, they will go for it. It helps that the cases are a lot better than the cardboard boxes from previous handheld gens. 

It's nice to see this thread again. Two or three months ago, I decided to go for the fullset. I'm at 60% right now but it's geting harder to find titles here in Brazil. I managed to get a lot of great deals on some rare games but there's a lot of games that I just can't find it here and people aren't willing to ship it here if I buy them on ebay.
