  1. I got this nice complete copy of Pokemon XD for $167.12. 

    PXTJeHO.jpg

    It has the shiny cover art, the poster, etc. Real nice shape!

    Actually how I got it is a bit more complicated... let me explain... someone posted a trade request over on Reddit asking for a "new" 3DS or 2DS XL, saying they wanted to trade this as it had just been sitting on a shelf since they bought it. I was ready to make that trade, since I have a refurbished 2DS XL I've been planning to let go of and I didn't have this game. But then I was stressing about it because I'm pretty sure an unopened 2DSXL refurbished by Nintendo is worth even more than this. So after waffling about it for a while I decided to go look at Facebook Marketplace and see if there were any relevant deals. Sure enough, I found a local listing for a 2DS XL in great shape with charger and stylus for just $160. I contacted the seller and we were able to meet up. I then got in touch with the guy on Reddit and he agreed to the trade. So after $7.12 for shipping (and quite a bit of legwork, and some gas which I will not bother to tally), I acquired the Pokemon XD! And I still have my refurbished 2DS XL which I might sell eventually 🙂

    Yeah this is kind of ridiculous work to save a bit vs eBay prices but lately I rarely find good trade opportunities or good deals so it was kind of fun to make this happen.

    And for Christmas, my wife got me a Play Date!!! I'm absolutely over the moon to have one of these and have been playing it a little every day and having a blast. I love this thing, and the games are fantastic! Gun Trails (shoot 'em up) is AMAZING, and not something I would have thought possible here, but, yeah, there are just a ton of fun and interesting games. Highly, HIGHLY recommended for portable fans 🙂

    All the best, folks!

    I want a PlayDate and I want to make a game for it... when I find the time 😭

  3. Trying to post more often this year!

    Picked up some deals from VGP and LRG

    lAj7Zoj.jpg

    The top two games were both Woot / Amazon deals. Then the 3 ET games were a bundle on eBay that was listed for $49.95, I offered $40 and the seller accepted. They look like interesting obscure games, and one of these games is kind of hard to find. Also it's crazy that NewKidCo churned out 5 games with the ET license. 

    The PS2 demo discs I just went for on a whim because the one on the right has some cool demos (including Klonoa 2 and MTV Music Maker). And of course I'm still getting Nintendo Force in the mail!

    I read the description and wow. Maybe. Maybe someone frames individual pieces and people willingly buy it as “original piece of slimer.”

    but man these kinds of listings are always some eBay username like “blah blah enterprises” lmao

    My half price books up the street had some adult drop their 90s gaming/cartoon toy collection there and it all wen out for $4 a piece.  I walked away with some fine stuff if any of your memories are jogged by it.  Capcom and Marvel did some co-packs of stuff, grabbed a Chun Li, Mega Man w/War Machine from that, one of those SMB3 happy meal Racoon Mario springs, the Ocarina of time 6" or so Link w/sword(shield lost) and Ganon, and one of those bd&a plushie beanie wing cap marios with the tag on it.  Then went back today when I realized the mistake and grabbed that war machine and also from the megaman/bandai line the Rush dog with jetpack.  The biggest wins are the plush, 2 zelda pieces, and rush which surprised me.  They're all on display, again, NFS territory.

    If were flipping again there were a ton of those old fox era cartoon xmen toys and vehicles in that same pile with other quality stuff including a few vintage tmnt things, whenever one of the usual local scalpers find it they'll grab the tray if they know what's good for them, if not both of the trays and some contents from the usual wall hangers too.

    I wish you'd post a pic of these toys! Those are great finds, especially the Capcom toys.

    To the Switch owners, any recommendations on fun local multiplayer (with kids) games to download?  Like $5-$10 range or so?

    Already have all of the AAA Mario / etc stuff but figured I'd ask on the cheap indie stuff.  We did Untitled Goose Game, Uncooked 2 and other odd ones but I know some people in here have to have favorites.

    I enjoyed playing Squish with my kids

    I also recommend Very Very Valet 

  7. Last pickup post of 2023! Some good stuff came in recently 🙂

    A couple CIB GBPs

    ur9WEcF.jpg

    Various games, a neat carrying case for Switch carts, and my first ever Pokemon distribution cart. I waited a while for Krazy Racers to come down in price a bit, and Doom and the distribution cart I got in a trade! Cooking Mama and Touch Detective 2&1/2 were bought brand new from Amazon and eBay respectively, those can still be picked up for nice prices.

    More rewards from "My Nintendo"

    Lots of Switch games

    Sealed games, sealed Angora Rabbit plush which was a preorder bonus for Story of Seasons 3DS, sealed hard to find Squinkies 2 with the toys for DS. 

    XPBnX9H.jpg

    A haul of NES stuff, with the first 3 games being sealed. I'm not planning to keep everything in this pic but I will be holding on to it for a while. 

    aMuRnpe.jpg

    Sealed Raystorm, sealed EA Racing 3-pack, and CIB Steel Reign for PlayStation 

    OgDuX7j.jpg

    My first Sega Dreamcast with a nice game I got for a decent price 

    QO8d9bh.jpg

    and my first ever kiosk!

    There were some more games that came in but nothing special, just some more Switch games. This is the good stuff!

    The Bill and Ted Retro Collection is reported to be delisted from the eshop on Jan 1st and “somehow” LRG “found” some more stock of their physical edition which just happen to pop up for sale on their site again over the past few days

    https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2023/12/bill-and-teds-excellent-retro-collection-is-about-to-be-delisted-on-the-switch-eshop#:~:text=If you've been considering,(thanks%2C Nintendo Everything).

    Hey, they could have jacked up the price but they are selling it for 10% off retail instead 

  9. Got all this for $800

    aMuRnpe.jpg

    The top row is all sealed. I plan to send the first 3 items to Wata when I do my first ever submission in the new year. 

    The High Frequency Control Pad is also sealed. Seems to be rare. Not seeing any listings for the NES pad. 

    Marble Madness is box only. The rest are CIB. Some of the games are in meh shape but that's OK. Funny enough, Swords and Serpents was one of the first games I had when I was a kid. No idea why I chose to buy that game. It was not fun. 

    I am not in a rush to sell anything. I will take my time and see what I end up doing.

  10. GLOVES: Done.

    Here's my picture of my 100% North American Wii U set

    EFC7jqf.jpeg

    Here's my album showcasing my complete series run of Nintendo Power: 

    https://imgur.com/gallery/vBOcqte

    I'm pretty sure I have more than 100 import titles and at least 10 homebrew titles. Will have to get some evidence soon. 

    Edit: oh wow I just saw all the badges. I've got so many to claim. Woo. 

    Some suggestions: 

    1. If possible, in the paper category, if you could add Retro Gamer Magazine, Game Informer, and Nintendo Force, that would be nice. 

    2. Where's my strategy guide category? 

    3. Soundtracks! I have lots of CD soundtracks...

  11. No pics on this update but I went a bit crazy buying from the clearance sale on the Bandai Namco online store. Deals included: 

    Pac Man World Re-Pac Chogokin bundle for $19.99 instead of $99.99

    PAC-MAN x Orlinski : The Official Sculpture - 18cm for $19.99 instead of $134.99

    DRAGON BALL Z: KAKAROT + A NEW POWER AWAKENS SET - w/ Bonus Steelbook for $14.99 instead of $39.99

    ONE PIECE ODYSSEY Limited Edition Bundle - PS5 for $39.99 instead of instead of $129.99

    We Love Katamari REROLL+ Royal Reverie - Standard Edition for $19.99 instead of $29.99

    Disney Magical World 2: Enchanted Edition for $14.99 instead of $29.99

    PAC-MAN Nanoblock Set - Limited Edition for $17.99 instead of $35.99 

    A bunch of Pac Man and Taiko no Tatsujin t-shirts for $4.99 or $9.99 each, much better than regular price

    It looks like the clearance sales are all over, some of the items are sold out while others are still in stock... now to figure out what to do with all this stuff... 🙂

    Also in looking up what I spent I saw something in my emails from them that said I could have saved an additional 10% with a code "SAVE10" lmao 

  12. I went in there a couple days ago and was able to pick up Akka Arrh (a game I somehow missed when it first went on preorder) and ended up getting the convention cover of Valis 2 and the VHS style River City Girls Zero without any issue.

    Clearly LRG doesn’t inspire the same FOMO it used to because a lot of these items are still not sold out.
