trj22487 | 350 Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 I went to the local store yesterday looking for Game Boy games, I'd seen they had Bomberman GB the last time I was in there and I didn't have time to grab it because I was buying a few DVD sets. Went back yesterday but it was gone. However, there was a small shelf of used LEGO that caught my eye, among the baggies of sets were these two vintage baseplates from 1997 sealed for $5.97 each. Pretty good deal. The "LEGO System" logo had caught my eye right away. In the Game Boy section I did find Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle 2 and Navy Seals for $5 each, both with dust cover included, so I bought those as well. This brings my original Game Boy collection to 46 games and 46 official dust covers at this point. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t played MUSHA so I can’t tell you which is “better,” but going by the price, desirability, and praise of MUSHA, I’m going to hazard a guess that MUSHA is the better game. Power Strike on the SMS is the first in the line of Aleste/MUSHA games, and is one of the pricier SMS games. Alex Kidd in Shinobi World is probably my my most wanted SMS game and it’s one of the heavies in the North American library. It’s gaining traction as more people learn about it, so I was glad to get this one both because I genuinely want to play it and because it’s super hot/popular amongst Sega fans right now, so every online listing right now tends to get expensive (for SMS prices, anyway) very quickly. I’m also gonna go ahead and say AKiSW is my first “big dick”-style purchase. There were two on eBay: this one with a BIN above the historical “sold for” prices and one that was an auction. I just said “Screw this, I don’t want to fight with other bidders.” So I did the BIN. I don’t even care, I’m so happy to have this one. And it’s in great shape. Somebody just posted Alex Kidd in Shinobi world for a $140 BIN. The cart label has minor issues, but I won't see that other than when I'm playing it. That was one of the last games I really want to play that I needed, the last 20 are mostly games I'll probably play once or twice. Master System is so much fun!

That’s a steal considering what the title has been commanding lately. I’ve seen it hit closer to $200 recently. And nothing wrong with a bit of label damage, at least to me anyway. I’ve been able to get games for a steep discount for minor label damage. Edited July 5, 2020 by The Strangest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah and it's literally just slight wear in the top. Not even missing any pieces or anything like that. Master System is pretty easy to collect for (other than how hard to find some games like Dick Tracy are), any time a game spikes you can always grab it for less a few weeks later thankfully. At least that's been the case for me over the last few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nintegageo | 582 Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Shit, has the SMS jumped in popularity/price? That was one I have a small/great collection but hadn't deep dived into the library. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d say it’s still relatively cheap when you compare the heavies in that set to something like the NES, SNES, or Genesis, but I think it is getting more limelight. You can see a steady climb in CIB prices for the desirable titles like Golden Axe Warrior and Power Strike. It’s hard to get a read on the Shinobi World trends though because Pricecharting incorrectly has the PAL copy and two North American variants - one with the blue label and one without. If it doesn’t have a blue label, it’s not a North American copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Power Strike is a lot of fun. There were multiple copies that went for less than $200 early this year, and those sitting in eBay have been there forever at $250. I would say as far as expensive SMS goes Power Strike is the most worth it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same thing with Sonic the Hedgehog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Power Strike I'm not sure about, I've never played/seen footage of the PAL version but a lot of the games are the exact same as the NA releases. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galdius | 1,507 Posted July 9, 2020 Author Share Posted July 9, 2020 (edited) Got 2 more Xbox consoles: Crystal and Pure White (2nd anniversary in Japan). The Crystal has some scuffs at the top but this was my previous console that I sold a few years ago to a collector and now I have rebought it. The Pure White is in great shape considering its white is getting yellow. I'll buy a Halo version to get to 8 and then it will probably be it for this console collection. I'm really happy with what I paid for them and now I have 7 Xbox. Bottom row: regular Black console (US) and Blue (Hong Kong/Singapore). Middle row: Crystal (UK) and Debug. Top row: Skeleton (Japan) and Mountain Dew (US). On top of all: Pure White (Japan) Edited July 9, 2020 by Galdius 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nesmaster | 402 Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 (edited) Buddy had this on ebay for $85 BIN, with "repro box" in the title. Sorry guy, box was legit. Nice upgrade too. Plus, this showed up after a few days shy of 3 months. Once it entered Canada, it showed up the next day lol.

DefaultGen | 5,387 Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 I am over the moon to get this Run 1 Magnavox Odyssey. It looks brand new. I've been looking to upgrade my Run 2 for a while and this thing is freaking perfect. Absolutely one of my favorite things in my collection now. Focusing on the 1970s while everything else is going crazy paid off big. You guys can tell me there's a guy sitting on a warehouse of these and I wouldn't care because this beauty is in my house! 4 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanooki | 4,929 Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 No pic, but today for $2 a game I scored Wii stuff - Endless Ocean, then all the CD sized slip cover versions of Wii Sports open/complete, but then two sticker sealed copies of Sports and Sports Resort too. A couple days earlier $10 for 6 PC games jewel cased, complete. Janes Fighters Anthology, Halo, Warcraft 2 battle.net, WC3 frozen throne (cd is scuffed up a lot), MS Flight Combat Simulator Europe, and Age of Empires 2. Been a dry spell for a time, but good last few days. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
