No Wii U games?

GameCube discs are notorious for the art side peeling / cracking. I’ve never seen anyone dive into why this happens but I suspect humidity or temperature.

This haul came in yesterday but I had to wait a while to verify it. Paid $66 for this sealed. Pictured with my brother’s reaction:

Update: unless I missed something in my tracking, I'm only 19 issues away from a complete set of Nintendo Power issues... obviously without some key inserts like an EON ticket and so on but still!

Yeah I checked HA and eBay... all have similar seals, only difference is mine has weird holes on the back, but currently I’m leaning toward mine is authentic.

Hi, I just got this in and assumed it’s a reseal but people are telling me it’s authentic. What do you think? I don’t have many sealed GBA games to compare to. https://imgur.com/a/TYXi7AY

Tell me about it. I have the first one and Trendsetters, but Fashion Forward has always been pricey, never found a good deal on it either

Hi all, I've been trying to land some of these Walmart clearance deals on Wii U games and haven't had any luck. Thinking about going for a complete Wii U set and would like to get some of the commons at a good price. Let me know if you have a bundle for sale or good deals including the following games: The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild - would really like this one sealed Pikmin 3 - first print with all the booklets please Bayonetta 2 with Bayonetta 1 disc And let me know what else you have. I can buy or trade, have lots to trade. And I will try to put together a list of what I'm missing later.

Someone posted a huge listing of gaming mags and strategy guides in a Facebook group, I was going to just buy the Oracles guide but then I saw the seller was not far from me and decided to make an offer for a local deal on a bunch of magazines missing from my set... not a steal but I landed 51 issues of Nintendo Power, 49 are new to my collection, for $345 and the guide was $30. I have to check my list later but this brings me very close to a complete set. No Pokemon cards present but there’s plenty of other inserts like Pokemon comics, GameCube memory card stickers and so on. All are in good shape!

It’s not really “rare” but it’s definitely uncommon and hard to find now. This is one of those games that was niche when it was in stock and looks to be out of print and now people are paying crazy amounts for it

Here's a couple hunts: Discovered and immediately bought this trading card variant for $7 and change: Looks to be somewhat obscure! Unfortunately the case for this one has some wear but whatever. Got these two games sealed for $20: In really nice shape, the seal on Harvey Birdman has some wear but otherwise it's great.

I did the 3 game bundle so I’m getting it anyway, but from the videos it looks REALLY good

Lol... a crypto thread... I’ve been trading crypto since 2013... sadly never got rich from it because I’m bad at trading

I overpaid for this... was about $24 shipped... but I finally have a misprint Art Academy! Also found a Dora bundle for $20:

I have physical copies of 1, 2, 3 and 5, and this one is physical

After ordering it through Physicality games and that falling through and getting my money back, glad to finally be able to buy the thing again. Also ordered Raiden IV x Mikado remix which ships around the same time. P.s. if you order from Play Asia use the coupon code SWITCHMANIA at checkout to save 5%.

You can still buy the collector's edition direct from FanGamer: https://www.fangamer.com/products/golf-story-collectors-edition It looks real nice on a shelf.

Pm incoming

Thanks for the heads up! Got the acrylic art print finally

oh my gosh

By the way, I posted about my find in a Facebook group a while back and someone DM'd me this picture. So put this Risk / Battleship / Clue / Connect Four / Perfection / Trouble on the list!

Once again I didn't buy $GME and I regret it. Anyway, the Amiibo sub is full of people who paid up to $250 for the Sanrio card set and are now feeling remorse because a new print has been announced for North America: It's actually pretty crazy that this is getting a "reprint," of all the things to get it, this one was unexpected. Don't know why this made me think of this thread, but there you go.

I apologize in advance because this might be a long post! This month has been pretty crazy with a lot of shipments trickling in, either limited print stuff or various second-hand purchases that were horribly delayed plus I've been aggressively buying deals right now because prices have been going up quite a bit. So anyway here are some pick ups. The first is kind of a long story, I placed my 3rd ever order via Buyee in April of last year mainly to find a better copy of Korg DS10+ Limited Edition since the previous one I had acquired was missing the styrofoam tray, and ended up also tracking down copies of some JP-exclusive Switch games with bonuses for much better prices than what I could find in the states. In the process I also managed to find some great deals on a couple JP-exclusive Club Nintendo rewards including the Star Tenbillion replica that I always wanted but missed out on way back then. And the stylus set I had and traded away at some point because whatever, it's just a box of styluses, but absence makes the heart grow fonder. (There was also a couple other Club Nintendo items in this shipment but they are dupes so I'm not posting them.) So anyway right after I ordered this stuff and paid for Buyee to consolidate the package for shipment, Japan Post announced that they were halting shipments to the USA, so my package was stuck in Buyee's warehouse. Well Buyee announced they would store the packages for free indefinitely instead of charging after 30 days, so I figured "oh well, I will just wait this out, my stuff is safe," thinking it might be a 2 month wait at worst. Obviously you can already tell it was not a 2 month wait. As of this writing Japan Post is still not shipping to the USA. At some point in the past 6 months Buyee announced that they had struck a deal with DHL for anyone who wanted to use DHL instead, but I was dragging my feet on that because I didn't want to spend the extra money and figured I would just wait. But earlier this month I hit a point where I was just like "I WANT MY PACKAGE ALREADY" and I ponied up like $60 just to have this thing shipped with DHL finally. After that it arrived in a matter of days. It was nice to finally be able to unbox everything! And it's not obvious in the picture but I like that the Star Tenbillion actually comes with the original shipping box from Club Nintendo plus the thank you card in Japanese. Anyway, moving on, Found out Animaniacs for GameCube had a huge price spike because of the show coming back, found someone who was selling the game CIB for $70 so I snagged that. The Journal was something I missed out on at Target, got kinda pricey secondhand but I found someone on Facebook Marketplace selling it for really cheap. The Cars game I picked up while hunting for obscure stuff, it's not that rare but it's an uncommon cheat code variant. Was $7. SMW for GBA is one of those games that I took my sweet time getting, had the cart pass through my hands multiple times, but anyway I got a cart for it in a recent lot buy and saw someone selling the packaging for about $25 and change and decided to finally make it complete and add it to the collection. Zelda CE was a $60 local pickup, seller was firm about the price and I wasn't going to argue. PvZ Yeti Edition was thanks to @Boosted52405. Again, one of my goals this year is picking up obscure stuff, saw some people talking about this one and decided to hunt it down, wasn't too hard, managed to get an offer accepted for it at $25 which is probably just fair market value. Still on the road to a 100% complete My Nintendo North America collection, also bought an OEM stylus to go with this limited edition 3DS XL which was from a local deal, less than $75 all-in and it's in great shape save for some wear on the outer shell. Still going hard on the strategy guides, these are all from @cgfeelit! Added some Wii and Wii U trash thanks to a recent console pickup, funny enough I had a rough outer box and unused Wiimote for the Wii Party U game bundle, just needed the game to complete it. A bunch of LRG 2021 Blowout Sale stuff arrived today! And lastly, I needed the manuals to make World Bowling and Defender/Joust complete, had picked those up in a lot buy last year and they had everything, posters even, but they were missing the manuals, and after months of not seeing any good deals on the manuals, I finally managed to find them for $2.95 each via Trade N Games, and while I was there I found the top row of games at great prices and all complete so figured I should snag them. Some of this stuff might end up being trade bait for the stuff I really want, not sure yet!

I have Burnout Paradise on Switch and it's kind of fun but after playing it for a while I feel like I don't know what I'm supposed to do. Feels pointless.

Can I chime in and say I really like Outrun 2006: Coast to Coast? To me that game totally nails how arcade racing should be.
