Got Tears of the Kingdom CE and the OLED to go with it:

Finally got a nice first model DS with the Metroid demo and also bought some more games:

And finally the last 12 GC games that I needed:

And my US GC fullset:
 

I managed to find another Tectoy Mega Drive game for the fullest. Now I'm missing 3 games.
Also found this Animal Crossing DS bundle a few days after I bought a CIB copy of Wild World. 
As for Cybernator and Dunk Dream, I wanted them for some time and finally got them.
Jungle Strike I only bought it because it's the Playtronic version and it's complete.

Bought the 360, Xbone, Wii and PS3 games from a friend that has a game store.

I found 3 more this weekend for $10 each. nothing crazy but for that price i'm buying any gamecube game I don't already have. Still 185 to go. lol. But I've been more focused on Sega consoles this last two years. 

Me too but I'm close to finish the Brazilian Master System and Mega Drive fullsets so I went back to Nintendo games.

I just checked the other day because I feel like I have a majority of the library and there are 188 games that I still need. It's gonna take sooo long, oh how I wish I bought more cheap Gamecube stuff in the early 2010s.

I only went for the fullset because I had most of the first party games and the local game store got a huge lot of more of 500 games. I got an amazing deal with them to get almost 200 games but I still had to buy a lot of expensive games like Pokemon Box and Disney Basketball.

Just checking your sanity levels. But by "full set" you mean "one copy of each game" variety and not the "You might as well be listening to Hotel California because I found another print variant of a shovelware game." variety, right? 

Just one of each. I'm going for the 558 games. I'm not going for the Player's Choice games.
I'm not that crazy.

A few more games: Primal Rage is sealed and Breath of the Wild has all DLCs on cart.

More GC games towards the fullest. Just 12 to go.

So, a new old stock lot appeared here in Brazil.
I managed to get those SNES and N64 games.
For the SNES I decided to get Super Soccer and Tetris opened.
The rest are all sealed.

I also finally managed to get Alien Syndrome for the Master System.
Now I'm missing only the Tectoy version of Global Defense to finish the Tectoy Master System fullest.

Got some more games:

I'm getting closer to the GC fullset. I hope to finish it in May or June.
I finally got a CIB Playtronic Super Star Wars. I wanted it for many years but it's really hard to find.
Also bought the 2 Pokemon games for the Switch. They released the Brazilian versions and I got it.

After the big lot of GC games last month, I've been buying more GC games and I'm going for the US fullset:

Also got some GBC and GBA CIB games:

Also got 2 manuals that I was looking for some time. Well, I was looking for one of them, the other I didn't know existed. I'm trying to get all the Brazilian Gamecube manuals released by Gradiente here. Gradiente only localized the manuals. The back of the manuals is the translated version of the back of the box of the games. I thought there were 6 manuals but I found another one and looking through some old magazines I think there's another one.

The two manuals that I found recently are Star Fox Adventures and Luigi's Mansion. I know I'm missing the Pikmin manual and I think there was a Super Mario Sunshine manual.

1) don’t really remember anything making me jealous but I know that when @Renmauzo and @Galdius post I think to myself “cool pickups”.

 

Thanks!
I'm glad people enjoy seeing what I buy.

The nearest game store got some amazing lots this year and I bought many games from them.

Some Brazilian N64 games, a sealed Zelda Collector's Edition and a Wii game:

And a LOT of CIB Gamecube games:

Haha, I get it. My entried in the past were late evenings and the occasional weekend because of the family too. I've only been able to hit em hard these last few days because I'm recovering from surgery. 

Hope you're feeling better and recover fast!

Congrats! And I hear that, lol. That personal time when baby is sleeping becomes extremely valuable.

Thanks!
I thought I'd be able to play more before becoming a parent but I'm playing way less and waking up a lot earlier but it's worth it. We're having a blast with our daughter.

It's probably this one:

It was the last game that I was missing for the 3DS fullset.
It was expensive but looks like there was another copy at the end of the year that went for way more than what I paid.

Typically @Galdius has 10 games knocked out by now. 

That's true lol

But since my daughter was born last June, I've been playing way less games.
I thought I'd get to beat a few N64 games but when she's sleeping, I'm resting.

The last games of 2022:

Switch, GC, GBA and Mega Drives (I'm missing 4 games for the Tectoy fullset now) games:

The GBC games are doubles. Got lucky and found this CIB PC SMW for US$80 and bought all the Brazilian Switch games that Nintendo released here:

Finally managed to add the Brazilian 24 Hours of Le Mans for the GBC to the collection and found a Playtronic Castlevania III that I already traded for some games:

Traded Castlevania III for those 3 Brazilian GBC games and a box of Quest for Camelot (not pictured).
For the Brazilian GBC set now I'm missing the Quest for Camelot manual and 1 CIB game.

I forgot to post these:

It's been a while since my last post here.
There are a few games that I need to post.

Got this Wii lot for around US$23 shipped and Mushihimesama finally arrived.

Edit: wrong thread

@Galdius I don't know why I'm so infatuated with Brazilian Nintendo items, but I love seeing those CIBs!  I know many Playtronic items are hard to come by, but are these games more accessible since they were released in the late 90s?  Nice score, man.

They're a bit easier but it's hard to find those big box in good condition here. 
The best ones are usually bought by collectors from the US and Europe.

As for the Gradiente games in general, they're easier to find than Playtronic games with a few exceptions.
At the end of the SNES life, Gradiente rereleased some games and those are a bit harder to find than the Playtronic versions.

Added Gleylancer to the collection!

Some Switch games, Switch steelbooks, GBC, GBA and PSP:

And 2 Brazilian N64 big boxes:

Now I've all 4 of the Brazilian big boxes:

@Galdius Must be nice getting those variants since they're from your area.  Love that rally game, isn't that the hard to find Konami rally title?  if it is, it's a shame as it's really good, price blows, much like sega rally on gba is toxic priced too and it's not so good as it's designed like backwards how the display works...it's weird.

I love getting the Playtronic and Tectoy stuff. I just wish Playtronic games were easier to find and cheaper.

International Rally is hard to find. I bought it from jonebone.

Got more Switch, GBC, GBA, DSi and PS4 games:
  

Gunblade & LA Machines is sealed.
Bought Smash because I wanted the Brazilian sleeve that came with it and it was only US$12 for the CIB game.
 

Some more CIB Tectoy Mega Drive games.
I'm missing 8 for the fullset.
 

I'm very happy to add the Playtronic version of Super Mario Bros 3.
It was very expensive but it's also very rare.
SMB3 was sold here more as a pack in game so you don't see boxes around. 

Around 7 years ago I got this lot from a GC collector from the UK.

The gold one is common but the other 2 aren't.
The blue one is the Smash Bros DX Event-You and the other is a retail release with a NFR sticker.
As far as I know this is the only known copy for the Event-You disc. Someone on NA said there was another 2 with Japanese collectors but I never saw photos of those 2 copies.

I remember how much I payed for the Event-You disc but I don't know how much it would be worth today.
A few years ago I got an offer for US$500 plus some other things but I said no.

I'm not interested in selling them but I'm curious to know how much they would be worth.
