July 2012 - Recently Added To Collection/Recently Purchased

To be perfectly honest I've never been able to find a copy of Tomba! 2. It has eluded me thus far. That and Tail Concerto are the two I have been trying to find cheap over the years.

I found a copy of Tomba! 2 at Goodwill about six months ago, so you never know where you might see something rare pop up.  Finding rare gems like that in unexpected places is part of why this hobby can be so thrilling.

Yes Indeed!!!

I didn't have an Atari 2600 growing up... I had this...

Yes its just a re-branded 2600, but still... Now it is part of the collection.

The trick for the periscope section is to sit on an office chair and make it spin around... it's the only way to make it remotely fun

Today, I bought a "Gamestop-New" copy of Trinity: Souls of Z'ill Oll (or something like that/ another "nothing special")...but...

...you know how the saying goes about good/bad things coming in threes?!

My 3rd *GOOD* one came today

1st = Unexpected *Sealed* copy of Tomba (PSX NA),
2nd = Also, unexpected *sealed* copy of Tales of Destiny 2 (also PSX NA), and, today's happy third...
3rd = *Expected* arrival of my newest (and, coincidentally) 3rd Giclee "Embrace the Knight"!

All in all - a week that I'm *VERY* Happy about

Just ordered 25 DS cases off Amazon for all my GBA games.

Not sure if anyone asked this, buy why did you choose Amazon over Nintendo's Online Store? I hope you snagged a good deal.

Oh nevermind. It looks like Nintendo discontinued the GBA slotted ones. Good thing I got all my back up cases when I did.

[pacpix]

I only paid $13.99 for all the cases and after shipping it came out to $20.  It was pretty close to what Nintendo was charging.  I almost did buy the ones from Nintendo without the GBA cases ha.

You really can't beat that price, free is always best!
