I didn’t read the description, I got excited thinking it was a brand new copy. The issues were not obvious in the pictures.

I reached out to the eBay seller about returning it and they threatened me with a 15% restocking fee. I went through the INAD return process on eBay and got a return label right away. Should I be worried or does this mean that eBay will give me the full refund? Regardless I am putting this seller on blast: steer clear of "585collectiblesandtech." Clearly their user description on eBay does not match their behavior.

I just got this Microsoft Pinball Arcade for GBC and I think the seal is a store reseal. What I'm seeing is no ventholes, a big hole on the front, what looks like a speck trapped on the back, and the seams are messy. Here's the pics: https://imgur.com/a/23rNQBg Any help is appreciated!

These are all gems! Very good choices

Two Splatoon 3 rewards went up today. There were some shenanigans with the store for a while but I was able to order both.

Yeah exactly. And I don’t trust most food products to be 100% sealed or to stay 100% sealed. The last thing I need is to have bugs coming into my game room because they could smell my vintage Zelda cereal. And what if it’s something that ferments or explodes? Would be really gross. I guess worst case I would put it in a heavy duty Ziploc bag but I’d rather not bother.

Here's some new stuff! Nintendo Power issue 270 sealed with Pokemon CD Just Sing! headset bundle sealed These two strategy guides More games, finally tracked down the Blaster Master Zero trilogy through trades Some random stuff And this Lego Super Mario store display from Target... it still works! It didn't come with the adapter but it still has the instructions secured to the back. Turns out a standard Arcade1Up adapter works perfectly with it!

Some recent hunts! Found a pile of late run Nintendo Power issues on Mercari for about $66 shipped, this just happened to be in there: It's a sealed issue 270 with the Pokemon CD. The rest of the issues are not sealed and I will be letting them go and just keeping this. Got these two guides for just under $30 shipped, the Ms. Pac Man Maze Madness guide is uncommon and both are in really good shape: This was an eBay find for just under $17 shipped, it is sealed: And lastly I got three pickups from the same local collector I've been working with for a while. Firstly, the Arcade1Up Final Fight cab (also comes with 1944, Ghosts n Goblins, and Strider) with riser for $250, hooked this up and started playing 1944 and my son got really interested so he joined in and we ended up going through all 15 stages and completing the game in one go: I also got this Lego Super Mario store display for $250, it works! And then I paid $100 for this pile of random stuff, it is mostly empty boxes, some with manuals, and then there's some oddities thrown in. There are no games here! But lots of cool stuff: Nintendo Shower Power sealed, Yoshi happy meal toy from 2017 also sealed, Super Mario Duck Tape also sealed, the Super Mario Maker promotional rubik's cube which I almost bought off eBay at one point, a PS2 console box and a zapper original gray box. All these boxes, some with manuals... there's a couple here I want to keep and complete with carts... More empty boxes... some have trays... the Game Boy one is really dirty but worth restoring And for the finishing touch, 3 (or technically 4) sealed boxes of Super Mario cereal in an original Super Mario Cereal shipping box. I really don't like collecting food so I will be selling these... That's all for now!

I’m sorry, apparently I didn’t post in this thread when I cancelled my order like 12 months ago. I finally decided they were never going to deliver.

International Rally is as good as any GBC racing game can be, so… just ok. Top Gear Pocket 2 is better.

Two restorations! 1. My launch model joycon rail stopped working, the lights wouldn't come on and the shoulder buttons wouldn't respond. Turns out the ribbon cable was creased inside and needed to be replaced. Turned out to not be so bad! And the cable only costs a few bucks. A video showing how it wouldn't work with the case closed (when the cable was bent): https://imgur.com/1CqFP3G The old cable with the crease: The new cable installed: A video of it working again! https://imgur.com/Ph3LDIf 2. Got a damaged copy of Flower Sun and Rain. Cleaned it up as much as possible with Bestine: This would be much nicer if someone hadn't tried removing the sticker in the first place! But oh well!

Not too much coming in these days. I'm actually going to have to downsize my collection a lot (story for another day). But here's what's new: Got a couple amiibo in a trade Got Flower Sun and Rain + Bomberman Land 2 in a private deal for $175 combined. Flower Sun and Rain has some damage but it looks a lot better since I cleaned it up. Found Dokapon Monster Hunter for $90 on Mercari. It's not mint but I think that's a good price for it. Got the Light Boy from the freebie thread and my Andro Dunos 2 finally arrived. That's all for now!

Yeah Strictly Limited is a German company, that’s where the releases come from. There’s actually a fun fact there… in Germany, you do not need to have a parental rating on your games unless you plan to sell them in brick and mortar stores. Since Strictly limited sells online, direct to consumer, there’s no rating on the cover art.

Is this a homebrew game? https://limitedrungames.com/products/phobos-dere-gb-gb

Wow I am extremely jealous. Never seen that back to school pack, it looks amazing, and I didn't even realize there was a CE for Adventure Time on DS!

Goodness. So many obscure variants

Fangamer CE’s are really good yep. LRG’s are all over the place. Some are good. I liked the Scott Pilgrim one. Some are cheap feeling and pointless like the Jumanji one. Nintendo’s CEs are good. Capcom’s CEs are terrible. The flimsiest possible cardboard.

I finally did it… I forgot to order Espgaluda II and Sheepo before the deadline

Well friends it’s time for me to throw in the towel. I’m not cut out for this anymore

Some new stuff! Got the Cytus Alpha and Deemo reprints and picked up a Story of Seasons Trio of Towns Capybara because I love the pre-order bonus animal plushies. Bought some stuff from @Tyree_Cooper and it was shipped by sea! Here's Hong Kong Wii Play, Taiwan NSMB and Korea Wii Fit Also from Tyree, Toro Let's Party for PS3 and a 19xx notebook. And then from a recent trade, I got the Splatoon 2 art book, Pokken art cel pre-order bonus and Metal Gear Solid 3D. My Cotton Reboot CE finally arrived after a long wait, don't know if I want to keep it though... but it does come with a lot of nice stuff! And I got a stack of games from Limited Run

Yeah if it says English support then it has English!
