Did you put those in the cassette cases, or is that how they come in Japan?

I really like the look of it.

I really like the look of it.

They don't come in cassette cases, the shininess is just from the box protectors.

Stupid UPS trying to clain severe weather prevented them from delivering my Bravely Second.

It was out for delivery, so already local, and not a cloud in the sky.

Where are you located? I have a package coming from Colorado on a UPS truck, I don't want it to get delayed - I already have to wait about 4 business days for it. It's my Square Enix Play Arts Kai Kingdom Hearts 2 Riku figure.

I got excited and asked to see what he had then he said that he was going to put them on Ebay and how they where going for hundreds of dollars a piece and he said he couldn't sell them under Ebay. At that point I told him not to bother showing them to me.

I had a fun find this weekend.  I went to a game store in Cabot, AR called Stage2Games.  I love this store.  The owner is a cool guy and loves to talk.  I end up spending more time than money in there.   

I grabbed

Space Channel 5 (DC)
and
The overpriced/overhyped SkyKid (NES)

For a slamming $14.73 total.  I told y'all I'd find a cheap copy of SkyKid soon. I didn't know it'd be this soon.  I'm thinking I'm going to buy up a ton of these and flip them on eBay like an asshole.

Bravely Second was a pre-order pick-up. Project X Zone 2 was used, burned a points coupon on that. The Moco Moco Friends came down to $17.99 after a 20% off coupon + PUR discount.

I remember theflea talking about Merlin's Apprentice a little while back. We were in another city about 45 minutes away and there was this shop right off the Interstate that I remember had records at and figured we could stop by so my cousin could peruse their selection. Turns out they sell games as well so I'm scouring the glass cases of their eBay priced stuff and in the middle of a bunch of high priced stuff was that game and it was marked at only $9.99. 

Some of the CIB GB games came from eBay. I saw on the auction for Dexterity that the top was damaged but the seller did a good job of fixing it. What I didn't do was look too closely at the pictures for Mickey's Dangerous Chase. Apparently there was a send away offer and whoever owned it at one point wanted that send away item so there's a gaping hole on the back where the barcode used to be.  The other GB and the one GBC game came from a retro shop we found. That same shop had a few NES manuals I scooped up as well as a EU DS game, Boulder Dash Rocks!

Hit up a GS down the street and found a CIB Monsters vs. Aliens on DS for the kids for 0.99¢ (089¢ after PUR  ) and a PS3 game called R.U.S.E. for $3.

Last place we hit was this hidden away little mom n' pop store that was one part game store and one part arcade. The place was rather small (and humid) and we managed to get there before they closed. My cousin hit the mother lode on NES sleeves while I found a few games, the Tinkerbell game for the girls and the Hurry Up Hedgehog game for me. They were $5 each and just before leaving I also spied a PokePark on Wii for only $7 that I picked up.

Just to update, UPS still hasn't delivered my Bravely Second CE.  Seriously... it was out for delivery, I saw the UPS truck speed down my street.  They still won't provide any update on where my package is or the real reason why it hasn't been delivered.  We had NO severe weather or any weird weather other than some clouds Friday and Saturday.

I bought Sonic All-Stars racing for the Wii brand new for $4, I really had no interest, but brand new for $4, why not.

Probably ratio wise (What I paid to market value) the most overpriced purchase I've made in years, I bought Assassin's Creed Brotherhood (360) from Gamestop for about $7... why?  Because I just finished AC2 and wanted to immediately jump into Brotherhood.  I've been searching for a CIB copy of Brotherhood for a month or so, searching pawnshops and keeping an eye on ebay and Amazon, but I never saw a copy for under retail.  Oh well.
