March 2014 - Recently Added to Collection/Recently Purchased

I have a big weakness for strat guides. They are like the bling to games.

I've started collecting them since I was able to get a bunch at a flea market for about a buck a piece, some gems, some not so much, but I do like having them and I'm starting to grab a few for certain new games now like Super Mario 3D World and I'm gonna get one for Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze.  I never use them to get through a game, but they'll be handy for the after-game stuff as I don't mind using them to find the extras and collectibles lol

Yeah Im not fond of the digital manual crap. But it is what it is ... one less thing to look for/lose in the future.

True.

Plus, I almost always get (when there *IS* one to get) & I like looking through & collecting the strategy guides (*especially* for RPG's) = ONE BIG MANUAL, anyhow 

I'm the exact same way, I always have to have the strat guide for my RPGs just for collector's purposes.  I'll get some for other games too, mainly if it's 1) a game I really like and 2) a hardback CE edition guide.  It's a shame that they don't put out nearly as many JRPG guides these days as they did back in the PS1/PS2 era.

Picked up BC Racers for the 32X. 7 to go.

Keep it going Beta.  You're almost there and might as well say 4 considering the 3 big one's that you may find once in a life time lol

I see those three fairly often. I'm just getting the carts. So, aside from Spiderman, it's not bad. Prices have been coming down too. I passed up on Pitfall for about $55 (about $10-15 more than I want to spend). I believe VintageVideoGameGeek ended up picking that up to complete his set. World Series comes up for that price a bit too. It's the boxes that become extra insane.

I'm betting it will be another 2-3 years for me. Then I will be within 1 game. I'm concentrating on 3-4 more games. Then I will probably turn to the Game Gear or Master System again. Both of those are over 50% on the complete US set.

BTW, this marks 800 items in my collection! I now have confidence that I will reach the 1000 mark in my collection one day!

[blipcs76]

picked up Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Pandoras Tower, which completes my "Operation Rainfall' collection.

[anruiukimi]

I've got both Dragon Warrior Monsters 2: Cobi and Tara's Adventure/Journey incoming CIB/Sealed, meaning I only need GBC DWIII and I have all the US Dragon Warrior/Quest releases! Yayyy (I've been skunked on no less than 4 different DWIII auctions, no joke. xD; )

Why do I buy these lots for just a couple of games?  Because they're cheap, that's why. Here's what $30 gets you in a junky junk store.

That's a cool find right there, granted it's not the rarer Saturn or PSX version but still a nice find. And you can't beat that price. That ChuLip looks like an interesting game too.

The PS2 / Wii version is a remake of the PS1 / Saturn version.
