Tanooki | 4,933 Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 No idea who that kid is, but I am well aware of the price disparity as I killed it on that JP lot I got through zen market vs eBay. I’d love to have someone who could just scoop like old GB maybe FC stuff too. Kid in a candy store situation there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefaultGen | 5,401 Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Excited to get NewLeaf for my Genesis collection. I think this is the second thing I've ever wanted where found copies actually crashed the the price to something I'm willing to pay. The first would be Caltron 6-in-1. Still waiting on 100 games that won't happen to, but it's cool to get something I once thought was basically un-gettable. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiamiSlice | 3,089 Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Hey, it's me again. @ctrujil24 helped me secure 3 more NP issues toward the full set as well as a strategy guide that I thought I already had but didn't? And the funny thing is we started the trade on another site. Holy grail find right here only because it confirmed a variant that I wasn't sure existed: Paid more than I wanted to, to knock out 3 hard to find Wii U titles. Also had to go second-hand for Alliance Alive HD but at least the price wasn't outrageous. Can you believe this is the first guitar hero game I've ever owned? Never bothered to pick up any of these musical instrument games. Ignore Xenosaga II, I ended up selling that one: Picked up a sealed Shantae PC for 3DS after regretting selling a CIB copy, unfortunately that and Rodea came in smelling like weed so I have them sitting in dryer sheets. Kirby Fighters 2 and the pro controller are from Korea, as are the Amiibo: Realized I made a mistake passing on The Gardens Between, ended up finding that it's still in stock but the shipping is expensive so I found a used copy secondhand for less. Pokemon Black is an upgrade for a beat up copy I already had and Pokemon Ultra Sun was a really good price for the keychain variant especially since it's still sealed. Got a very nice upgrade of Metroid for GBA with most of the shrinkwrap still on although the top flap is creased, will be able to let go of my other copy in much worse shape. Also found USF2 for a fair price and Ask Iwata was a price drop in the last couple days of the preorder on Amazon. Looking forward to reading it! 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YOURTURN | 1,256 Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 (edited) This arrived today. And to be honest, it was smaller than I anticipated. In all cases, this is the "20th anniversary" variant of the second print. The difference between a first and second print turned out to be which GBA design they were promoting. Where as this one has the "Happy! Mario 20" on top and the game design on the bottom. Which is a better option for me when it comes to my collecting goals. And helps cover a small gap since I have decided to put up a few games and Pokémon cards up for sale. (Selling them here is pending.)

Strange | 1,700 Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 (edited) Finally got my Heavy Sixer card punched. If I want to be a REAL Atari collector, then next up is Chase the Chuckwagon, I guess? This is a console variant that was produced for a short time. If I have my history correct, this is a hybrid between a Sunnyvale model and Taiwanese model, produced in the short time between the complete transition from Heavy Sixers (made in USA) to Light Sixers (made overseas). Under the hood it is still a Heavy Sixer though. Edited April 14, 2021 by Strange 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same as when people thought Tengen Tetris was the rarest NES game, things have drastically changed since then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brickman | 3,983 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Some great local pickups recently. $45 for a complete super gameboy. I guess I’m collecting Japanese game boy now? $70 for these three. The chrono trigger looks like it was played maybe once and the Zelda and Yoshi’s Cookie are in great condition. 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Japanese loose stuff here has no value at all, on GB. Same with boots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiamiSlice | 3,089 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 @Shmup all game boy games are region free. You don’t need to collect Japanese game boy games. You can pop your North American games in there and have at it. But there are some Japanese exclusives worth looking at, like Mario Picross 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OptOut | 8,883 Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Well guys, as I'm getting close to finishing up my N64 set, I decided it's time to dig deep and suck some DDong: Pretty happy with these, as a first effort, imported directly from Japan. Paid quite a lot, but less than usual eBay so I'm not bankrupting myself. Three of these are sealed too, so I know what I'll be sending to @VideoGameGradersLLC for my first order! If anyone has any of the other four titles I'm missing, I AM on the lookout for those, especially in sealed condition where possible, but obviously I know that at least two of those games are basically unicorns, so keep an eye out for me will you guys? Thanks! 9 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
