I've been into N64 racing games lately, for some weird reason. Today I picked up:

Lego Racers

lego racers is vary hard but fun. i have the ps1 version but i did played the n64 version when i was 6 or 7 and there the same game.

my favorite n64 racing game is california speed, its a standard arcade racing game with one exception, it can win a race by playing as a old man in golf cart in a mall

I needed to use my Gamestop birthday coupon and luckily noticed that there was a copy of .hack//G.U. vol. 1 available in a neighboring city (which I happened to be going to this evening for a show).

Requested through the website for it to be held, got there and was told by several people that someone had come by earlier desperately hoping to buy it but that I'd already requested to have it put aside.

I figured I wouldn't be lucky enough to get it with the case and manual, but still not a bad deal for the disc only at $15.

Sorry, other local collector dude.  But hey - that "pickup @ store" feature has its perks when it works!

I wish I had the consistent success you have with garage sales.  I have a day like that about once a year.

Yesterday, my boxed Pro Wrestling (NES) showed up in the mail.  It's it great shape, included everything but the manual (even the original plastic cart bag).  Box would be mint if it wasn't for the cardboard hang tab missing and some tears in the top flap where the hang tag was connected.  Nearing the halfway point in my NES black box CIB collection, though most of what remains is out of my price range.

Still hitting Steam and GOG sale stuff a lot, but just put in my order for DoDonPachi Saidaioujou!

What Black Box Games are expensive?  I mean, other than Gyromite and Stack Up. 

[soera]

DK jr math is a ridiculous price for CIB.

I paid $30 for the Sega Game Gear stuff and the Gameboy games. Sadly both Gamegears need capacitors and I had to replace the Pokemon battery. I used the battery out of the NES Baseball Stars that I had that didn't display correctly. The board was very corroded on the Baseball  Stars. Pokemon works perfectly now. The Sega battery packs also need new batteries.

I'm trying to collect them CIB, so it's drastically more expensive than getting the cart by itself.

For example, price estimates:
Mario Bros. Arcade -- loose $20 / CIB $120
Wild Gunman -- loose $15 / CIB $75
Clu Clu Land -- loose $15 / CIB $100+
Urban Champion -- loose $5 / CIB $75+

I bid empty boxes for Gumshoe and Ice Climber (w/manual) and was outbid on both -- they sold for $25 and $48 respectively.  Any retro game for me over $50 is out of my price range.  I'll never own a Little Samson or Cheetahmen 2 unless I win the lottery (or am lucky enough to find one in the wild).

Can you tell my collection is mainly loose?  

I honestly had no idea.  I would have thought $25 would have been top end.  I passed on several of those at a flea market last year (Duck Hunt, Wild Gunman, Excitebike, Mach Rider, and a couple more) because I thought $20 was too high.  I'm a moron.

I used some of my club Nintendo coins to download Super Mario RPG on my Wii U, but didn't realize that I still need a classic controller. Either that, or I can just wait until the Wii U VC gets it so I can upgrade.

[redblaze57]

got an afterglow pro controller for the Wii U
