Just picked up Dokapon Kingdom (PS2)-$10 and Baten Kaitos Origins (GB)-$6 from Gamestop!  Really happy to find Baten Kaitos Origins... has all inserts *except* for the manual, though :\  Hopefully not too expensive through eBay.  But nice to not have to drop $25 for CIB.

I just picked up Air Zonk (trying to make it work >_<), Boogerman on genesis, Guardian Heroes Advance (probably not a suitable replacement to the 360 version, but whatever :P) and... the Super Mario Bros 3 cartoon DVDs! .... Have no idea if it's any good, but whatever.

Got this, but they gave me a "new" DS version of the game.  Should've been the 3DS version.  I called and they said they hadn't even opened the box that my game was in.  Gotta love Gamestop!  I'll pick up my (hopefully) sealed game tomorrow.

Oh, and @amauriel, I thought you'd want to know that this alpaca has a tag that says "3D" on it, so I suspect they made the alpaca with different tags to correspond with the different versions.  Why does Natsume have to torture the collectors?!

@desocietas no no, the tag means the Alpaca is in 3D. :P

Just bought Limbo on the Deal of the Week for 360. I've played bits and pieces of it at Matt's and the demo, but never really sat down with it. It really sucks to in with all the atmosphere, for sure. I had to force myself to stop playing. XD

@desocietas It's like you could just reach out and pet it yourself, isn't it?

Limbo's pretty great.  I hate horror genre anything, and the game freaks me out (especially when my lights are off) so much that I have to stop myself from playing it for too long.  I saw the video for the achievement that has you running through a level that's like 90% black, and I could imaging how terrifying it'd be to try to play it myself.

@scott the plastic bag looks so real, too!  it gleams amazingly when i move my head side to side.  Technology, man.  Amazing.  We've come so far.  The future is now.

@desocietas: Thanks for the heads up. I actually didn't buy the 3D Harvest Moon yet...been way too busy playing London Life on the new Layton game.

Professor Layton + 16-bit style RPG/life sim + some of the folks that did Mother 3 (Brownie Brown) = a combination of gaming loves for me that actually might exceed Harvest Moon. I know, crazy...

@amauriel but, you're missing out on the sweet 3D Alpaca!

First ever FF game, near mint except for the little ding in the corner.

@madmax, That is one of the coolest looking boxes ever. I love Amano's art style so much. Congrats!

XMAS came a little early this year. I received a package today I've been eagerly awaiting.

I'm anxious to get through my current game(s) to do Layton! I haven't bought it yet but will probably play the heck out of it once I do. The formula above sounds right up my alley!

Damn @varkias nice haul!

varkias November 3
Thanks @scott! Time to update some database items and bust out the scanner.

scott November 3
@varkias I have to get Shining Wisdom and Saturn Bomberman yet. I'm currently unsure what I want to do with the Saturn. I may just go for the rest of the rare titles and then start looking for importing the Japanese only shmups. Of course, the Saturn is still on hold until after I finish off my Castlevania boxed set... I'm 6 games away... maybe I'll try to con @darko out of his complete Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge ;)

varkias November 3
@scott, good stuff! I still don't have the NTSC Shining Wisdom. I plan on going after the PAL exclusives after I complete the NTSC set, and continue picking up solid JP saturn titles here and there. I'm a huge Castlevania fan, GL on those last few titles! Have you acquired Dracula X yet?

Edit: Guess I could have just looked up your collection :P Gogo box and instructions!

Bought an N64 set from someone on Kijiji, and I received 2 Famicom games from consolemad.co.uk.

conker!

The N64 package was 50$, which isn't too bad considering Conker alone usually goes for a lot more. Oh, and the Famicom games are Getsu Fuma Den (usually called Getsufu Maden on import sites for some odd reason) and the Namco release of Star Wars which was never released in the US.

I have a loose copy of Dracula X for SNES, sadly it seems to be much more expensive than Rondo of Blood for PC Engine. Finding a complete copy is going to be a chore. It seems like the more expensive Castlevania games are Legends for Game Boy and Dracula X for SNES. :\

Yeah, the reseller at the nearby flea market actually has a complete Dracula X, it costs around 160-185$ IIRC. I'd settle for a loose cart.

Oh I'll be getting a complete copy eventually. What I'll need to do is stash come cash away in case I find a hell of a deal on either Legends or Dracula X. I missed out on a lot that had a complete Legends, Belmont's Revenge, Sealed Circle of the Moon and one other game for like $150 or something.

amauriel November 3
@scott: If there really are two different tags, I'll probably be eBaying TWO alpacas soon enough. For now though, I've got to get through some backlogs of games...

Also, hearing those Castlevania prices makes me really glad I never got into collecting them! (Although I have a cat named Alucard, ha!)

scott November 3
@amauriel Luckily not all of them are super expensive. And I think that Dracula X on SNES is only expensive due to it's connection to Rondo of Blood on PC Engine. Most of my complete copies have all been pretty reasonably priced, with only Rondo of Blood and Castlevania for NES being the more expensive ones so far.

btw, I'll try to get over to that game shop this weekend and see if they still have that Tommy Hilfiger GBC.

Found a decent deal on .hack//quarantine for PS2, complete with the anime disc. It was a Best Offer auction on ebay and I was able to get it for $30-$40 less than what I've seen on ebay and amazon, even without the bonus disc. Everything is in great shape as well. Now I just need to finally finish the games... though I'll have to start from scratch, since I don't have the memory card adapter for PS3.

foxhack November 5
I found nothing at the flea markets today, but I checked out my mailbox, where I found this:

Ghostbusters for PS2, basically free from Goozex.

Ugh, jealous! Got burned from my last .hack purchase... the first two in the original series for $25. But when I opened the box, part II was in pristine condition while part I had a stain throughout the second half of the manual! The guy had the balls to list them in "very good" condition with no mention of the stain. I've gotta cut back on my eBay spending... it's getting out of hand, and the holidays are coming up soon.

Yup I knew you would be! ha. Ya I need to get the guides for Mutation and Quarantine too, luckily they seem to be pretty cheap. The big thing is, random tears/stains. And I still need part 2 and 3 of the G.U. trilogy...

Super Mario 3D Land! Loving it so far, though it's quite a bit on the easy side for the moment (only at the second world right now).
