Got some more Favoritos PS3 games (I'm missing 10 to complete the Brazilian Favoritos subset). Also got Fire Emblem Warriors for the 3DS for a good price. The only FE game for the 3DS that I'm missing now is the Special Edition of Fates. This Japanese version of Gran Turismo 4 comes with an artbook. I thought it was pretty cool and decided to buy it.

I started in 2008 when I bought a CIB SNES with a lot of games but I was in high school and didn't have a lot of money to spend. I would only buy retro games sometimes and I focused a lot on PS2. Sometimes I regret not going for the SNES back then. Things started to get more serious around 2010-2012 when the Brazilian Real was really strong against the dollar. I would go to the US and come back with lots and lots of games. At that time I managed to complete the Virtual Boy and N64 fullsets. If I had the money that I have now with that currency rate, I would have a much bigger collection. Even with today's prices, if the currency rate were better, I would buy a lot more.

Got a few more PS3 Favoritos games: Got some more 3DS games: Got some games in general. Radiant Silvergun is sealed.

I used to buy my box protectors there as well. They're really good.

I bought it on saturday morning but decided to play Superliminal instead. I'm going to try and play it for a bit today.

Got 2 more Xbox consoles: Crystal and Pure White (2nd anniversary in Japan). The Crystal has some scuffs at the top but this was my previous console that I sold a few years ago to a collector and now I have rebought it. The Pure White is in great shape considering its white is getting yellow. I'll buy a Halo version to get to 8 and then it will probably be it for this console collection. I'm really happy with what I paid for them and now I have 7 Xbox. Bottom row: regular Black console (US) and Blue (Hong Kong/Singapore). Middle row: Crystal (UK) and Debug. Top row: Skeleton (Japan) and Mountain Dew (US). On top of all: Pure White (Japan)

I’m working on Snowboard Kids.

I’m definitely gettinG it day 1 and will get a physical edition later. I think LRG will probably make one since they made it for the first game.

I know you said you’re going to wait before buying more shmups but since you like Cave’s output, you should definitely look into getting a copy of Mushihimesama Futari 1.5. It’s an amazing shmup.

Will have to get the WiiU version. I don’t want to not have the full set because of one game. At least I think this box art is better than the Vita version.

Got even more games. Started to buy some Favoritos PS3 games and managed to get a sealed Lost Planet 3 for less than US$10. Also bought some CIB SNES games, Mario Party 4 and a CIB Brazilian version of Streets of Rage. And bought a lot more 3DS games. Maybe one of the rarest of those is Crash City Mayhem. Luckily i found it sealed for US$11. And here is my 3DS collection as of today:

Finally finished Paper Mario. This was my first time playing it. It’s a cool jrpg for beginners. At the start I was doing some sidequests but that burned me a bit on the game. I really recommend not doing them. It’s a cool game but I won’t replay it soon.

I’m still playing Paper Mario. I’m 16 hours in and at chapter 6. Will definitely finish it before July arrives.

They're good because our currency lost a lot of value to the dollar. But also there are some games that maybe the sellers don't know their value/didn't check ebay. For example, I managed to get Crash City Mayhem sealed for around US$10. When I checked on ebay, I think there was only one complete copy and the seller was asking US$150.

My focus right now is on 3DS games. I'm almost at 200 games and I want to go for the full set. Hopefully I can find the rare ones soon. It's helping that 3DS prices in Brazil are really good. I managed to find for cheap some games that are already expensive on ebay.

Woke up today and my island is all white from the snow. It's really cool. I looked but couldn't find a second snow ball to roll and put it together with the first one that I found to make a snowman. Hopefully it will appear later today.

One of the companies that sell Stern pinballs here in Brazil sent me the video of this machine. It looks amazing. If I had more space I would get it but I can't see myself trading my Star Wars pin for this one. Those new Stern pins are amazing. I have the Star Wars one and my father owns the Munsters pin. We both love our pinballs. If this one will be your first, I'm pretty sure you're going to love it as well.

Thanks! Those are two great box arts.

Which games are displayed before the Donkey Kongas? The pink and light blue ones.

I got another Xbox. This time the Halo 2 Hong Kong version but it didn't came with the game. The console is in amazing shape though. Also this week, I decided to try and get as many 3DS games I could (I may go for the fulllset). This is what I managed to buy in one week. Now I'll have to slow it down for the rest of the month but if I find some rare games for good prices, I will buy them.

Didn't see this one when you posted. It's amazing. Let me know if you decide to sell it.

This month has been really good for my collection. Yesterday I got some amazing pieces. A beautiful Master System with some accessories and games. Also got two sealed Atari 2600 games, sealed Zelda TP for GC, CIB Lunar 2, CIB Magic Knight Rayearth and Mario & Sonic 2012:

I decided to finally play Paper Mario for the first time. Will try to finish it but I’ll take my time with it.

My first contribution to this thread: I just beat Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers: Fighting Edition.

Got some sealed PS3 games (just Armored Core was used). They were very cheap. The most expensive was Dead Island Riptide for US$ 4.00. Got a CIB Pokemon Stadium and WCW vs nWo to replace my loose copies. The rest was priced just right to not let it pass.
