Man I can't believe you find such good stuff at the thrift. I don't even have thrift stores by me T_T

Make sure to hook up a GBA so she can visit the island!

My goodness.

This is a bonkers price IMO. I know this game has been looking scarce since COVID-mania started but come on. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Konami-Krazy-Racers-Nintendo-Game-Boy-Advance-2001-CIB-/224353590455?_trksid=p2349526.m4383.l10137.c10&nordt=true&rt=nc&orig_cvip=true

It's actually on Page 4 of this thread, from this haul: It's not so obvious but if you look closely you can see plenty of creases and wear. It's not the worst one though... sadly FF IV is the worst of this bunch and it's the one box where the wear really shows. But I will patiently upgrade them over time if I can find good deals

Just got this stunner in for less than $120 all in, CIB with most of the shrink still on, will replace another one I have in worse shape

I want that Kirby just for the stylus

Started playing Fox n Forests last night. Wow, first impression was great. Funny dialogue, some obvious parodies of Nintendo games (especially Zelda), art is great, combat is tight, only thing that is off-putting for me is I don't love Metroidvania type backtracking but I will still enjoy this one.

yes. been seeing this for a year now.

PM’d you

@RpgCollector I’ve been looking for that Beyblade bundle for sooo long

I was in since 2013. At one point I had a decent amount from trading. Then lost a decent amount from trading. I’m still in, but not with as much as I used to have

No, and no one should use Goo Gone, it’s bad for paper / cardboard. I used Bestine.

This sticker was tough, one of those old style stickers that should never have been put on cardboard! Managed to get it off without a trace though

I really really really hope this gets translated into English

Exactly what I had... launch model Game.com and launch model over the eye R-Zone. Garbage 🗑

I didn't get to watch the Direct so I'm still getting caught up on the news. Legend of Mana is an interesting one. It's actually kinda funny how many PS1 games have been ported / remade for Switch. I'm not complaining.

Best Buy has a pre-order bonus for Bravely Default II... drumroll please... A placemat and a set of coasters

I had both the R-Zone and the Game.com as a kid so now I cannot justify collecting them out of my abundance of hatred for them

It just worked about 5 minutes ago. Got the pin set and cat Mario keychain headed my way

Getting my code for the Wave 2 Pin Set is proving to be difficult

So a long time ago, can't remember how long, maybe a year or more, I managed to find a small 2x2 Ikea cube shelf in my favorite color (the birch wood style) for $20 locally and was able to set it up in my room. At the time I thought it would be enough to store my NP and strat guide collection but I soon discovered that was not the case! The full NP set alone takes up 5 cubes, and at the time I had enough strat guides to take up another cube on top of that, let alone knowing that I would need some room to grow if I was to continue adding more strat guides to the collection. I realized eventually I would want a 4x4 shelf in this space because it's big enough to support that and also it's directly underneath a wall unit AC so even though leakage shouldn't be a concern, I would rather not have anything delicate on top of the shelving unit. Well fast forward to last weekend I have this little 2x2 shelf packed to the seams and I have two stacks of Nintendo Power issues sitting on a bench in my room with just nowhere to put them, plus stacks of stuff in my office that also have nowhere to go. On Sunday I was randomly checking my phone as I was getting ready to do errands and lo and behold, there's a 2x4 shelf for sale for $20! I messaged the seller and it was mine. As is the norm nowadays it was a contactless pickup, cash in the mailbox and I had to carry the shelf away myself. It was heavier than I expected and for a moment I was afraid that the seller was probably going to be watching me from a window while I tumbled down their front porch stairs and got crushed under the weight of this shelf. Fortunately somehow I managed to make it down the stairs alive and get the thing into my car without any casualties. And my wife got the unique treat of spending Valentine's Day helping me carry a shelf up our sidewalk, porch stairs and then up a full flight of stairs to our room. How romantic! Pictured below is the shelf finally set up. I realized having a 2x4 is perfect since the full 4x4 would be impossible to move up and down the stairs without disassembling, so eventually I hope to get another 2x4 just like this to go where the 2x2 is now and I can give the 2x2 to my son for his room. For now I have a neat staircase thing going on. And I have the Nintendo Power set filled in from 1 to 285 with some random magazines as placeholder for the issues I'm missing, and the various NP strat guides filled in after that. The rest is a work in progress!
