Title: March 2018 - Recently Added to Collection/Recently Purchased
Post by: realpoketendonl on March 01, 2018, 12:10:52 pm

I haven't posted to one of these in a while, but I saw there wasn't a new one yet and I wanted to post so I figured "Why not? Let's make the next one!"

I usually don't post to these because whenever I get something it's a small thing or a single thing not worth posting about. But then I thought "Hey, why not post once a month with everything I got?" So here we are.

Here's my lot for February:
(https://i.imgur.com/zrhoEy9.jpg)

Not too much this month, but some neat stuff. Got a PDP Wired Controller so I can finally play PC games with a proper controller. Got a new WiiMote because one of my old ones died (and a blue one because blue is pretty and was a euro cheaper than white). Got a new DS game and two new Wii games which include a mediocre point-and-click adventure game on DS, Wii Chess (speaks for itself) and the worst Wii game ever. I'm not exaggerating. Whichever Wii game you think is the worst, trust me, it can't be worse than this. Absolute garbage! Maybe I'll write about it someday on here, but that's for another day. And also got the Nick Wilde and Judy Hopps figures for Disney Infinity 3.0. I don't even own Disney Infinity 3.0, but I'm a huge fan of Zootopia, so I'm glad just having the figures.

But of course the gem here is the Bayonetta + Bayonetta 2 Special Edition. Bayonetta and Bayonetta 2 are some of my favourite games of all time, so I'm more than thrilled to add this Special Edition to my collection. I've said it before and I'll say it again, if you have not played the series before, please do yourself a favour and play it. It's an absolute must-play for any fan of action games.

Pretty interesting weeks

First a mediocre deal

The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak I gave in  :o

XBOX console boxed fully complete inserts foam 45 euro's shipped. In my opinion it seems pretty much impossible to find cheap boxed excellent condition xbox consoles and allot of people charge allot for them ridiculous for an xbox in my opinion snes and nes cib consoles seem like a cake walk to find in deals compared to an original boxed xbox in very nice shape. Finally have a boxed one instead of a lose console.

Games sure but the boxes are pretty much always in not really nice shape even the better ones. Proabably because the console is pretty heavy and the box not to sturdy in comparison.

Completion deals

Terranigma lose cart english version for free. Never found this game for cheap but for some reason I guess I have some luck with this game completing my copy.

Than a longer thing Midnight resistance manual sega genesis for 11 euro's and some chance Didn't expect to find this one took me some months not really looking for one pretty pleased. Game was free manual 11 euro's not to bad for me It's an american exclusive after all.

And than a manual that took me 1,5 years to find. Battle toads double dragon gameboy for 19 euro's shipped finally found this one. All the rest was free only the manual. Pretty hard to find game even the cart goes for a solid amount as far as gameboy standards go. wasn't looking for it that much really but than again I guess there is a reason why even cart only it has some value.

Free deals all cib

wii

harvest moon magical melody no vip points
harvest moon tree of tranquility with vip points

Ps2

Godhand Finally   not for free a 5 euro loss.

DS

Drill spirits with vip points
Shepards crossing 2 pretty suprised about this one have heard about this game for years but to find one for a bargain in my country, not really import worthy and pretty rare must have been a bargain bin buy from a tourist back in the day  ::)

Nintendo Deals for free

SNes

Donkey kong country 2 still need the correct manual wich I sold 2 times a bit more than 1 week ago  :-\   damm Sold for high amounts not a couple of bucks but it is kinda annoying . Will get it someday

Kirby's fun pack pretty pleased with this one fortunately cib

NES I never get nes deals last time and this time some great luck there for very cheap. Added these to the collection for free all cib in nice shape. All are with hangtab intact. 2 of the arer fully intact

Duckhunt
wrecking crew
donkey kong

Ps1 deals for free

Pretty pleased with these some very nice deals nintendo megaman games are not going to well for me but for ps1 there might be some hope that i'll get a complete set someday

all cib in very nice shape

Legend of mana ps1 usa
mega man battle & chase
Megaman X4 completing my Megaman xset on ps1 at the very least   ;D

(http://i63.tinypic.com/vggmc.jpg)

Also a pretty strange deal wich mostly came with other stuff alongside the legend of mana.

I've seen the ico one go for hundreds I'm pretty suprised I've got them for a mere fraction of that price alongside other great deal wich made these adds free anyways.

Not a presss kit collector but these are some good games and if it's cheap sure I'll add them to the collection   ;D

Ico Press kit with candle demo and promo disc and a very stylish box

Legend of dragoon press kit very modest. Blanco case with 4 game discs like the original a press disc and very stylish but small slip case. blanco case seems like a normal thing apparently.

Pretty intersting weeks for sure.

Been going nuts for the last couple week hunting harder to find Wii games. (still have many on my list)

First I picked up a Burgertime mini arcade, I think I'll pick up the other 2 later on.

Next The Oregon Trail handheld that's exclusive to Target stores.

And I finally found a Nintendo Super Famicom Classic Edition for about $90 with shipping.

XBone
I thought this game because it sounded interesting, a RPG that set in a "realistic" 1400's Europe.
- Kingdom Come: Deliverance
I played it a little bit and it's not to bad, the combat is a bit wonky and takes getting used to.

PS4
A couple limited titles.
- Skullgirls: 2nd Encore
- 99 Vidas

VITA
- Skullgirls: 2nd Encore

3DS
I remember ordering the Wii version of this odd game that you can only get from one seller online and found out there was also a 3DS version, might as well. lol  :P
- Disney Voiletta: Rhythm & Music

Wii
- Wipeout 2 (it was given to me for free)
- Are You Smarter Then a 5th Grader: Game Time (again given to me for free)
- London Taxi Rushour
- Fatal Frame 4 or Zero Tsukihami no Kamen (got a good deal on it)

Now for games I found on different collector's rare Wii game list, some of these I personally don't find that rare, I found a ton of Gamestops had copies. While others where tough to find. But better safe then sorry.
- National Geographic Challenge
- Let's Dance
- PDC World Championship Darts
- Smiley World: Island Challenge
- Target: Terror
- Rogue Trooper
- GTI Club
- 101 in 1 Sports Party Mega Mix (an Atlus title)
- Smart Series: Jaja's Adventure

NDS
I was at my local used game store when I saw this odd box, it was a re-printed cover (and I usually pass on those) but this was interesting. It was only $5 and I see all the "not for resale" stickers on it I figured it could be something rare.
- Nintendo Download Station Vol. 17
I had to look this up to find out what it was, and it basically is a demo cart that you asked an employee to turn on their DS and then you download a Demo while there. So to use this I had to put the cart in one DS and use a second one to download a game from it. Kinda cool.

XB
A game I don't see to often, it was $3.
- Top Gear RPM Tuning

PS2
Picked up some PS2 games from my local used game store for cheap that I don't see all that often.
- Grand Prix Challenge
- Armored Core 3
- Silent Line: Armored Core
Also picked up a Region Free PS2 Slim. Mainly to play PAL games.

SCD
My local used game store got this in CIB.
- Lethal Enforcers

NES
And last a game I funded on Kickstarter finally came in the mail. Looks really cool.
- Lizard

That's everything in the last few weeks, if you guys know any Wii games I should add to my list of rare Wii games to look out for you're welcome to PM me. Thanks.

@theflea, I too found a copy of Grand Prix Challenge at HPB yesterday. It's mildly amazing that it's been out for 15 years and I had never seen it before (being into racing games I'm sure I would have spied it once or twice). I also picked up one of those Oregon Trail handhelds from Target. I could have sworn someone posted they were $20 but I ended up paying $25.

Its one of those games you rarely see in the wild and it's dirt cheap. Even online a copy sells for under $10. I think most F1 racing games are uncommon to find in the wild.
They are $25 and while most Targets seem to be selling out of them no one cares a bout them where I live. My Target still has a bunch of them.

Took dupes to Gamestop over the weekend.  Got $350 for what dupes they would take.

Spent about $100 of it.  Bought Gear.Club Unlimited (NS), Robinson VR (PSVR), Earth's Dawn (PS4), Lost Planet 3 (360), and Furu Furu Park (Wii).

If Gamestop will ever start taking PS2 and Atari games, I'll probably get a ton more trade credit.

I guess those penny trade inss were kinda exaggerated and for real trash games that don't sell anymore. I mean most people try to sell their sports games and those are the people who complain about the low trade in values the most ::) Obviously even with nice value games you will get farr less but not penniess on the dollar.

There are some exceptions for pretty rare games but than again a low trade in means a low buy it now for the lucky buyer   ;D

Haven't posted here in a while, but had to share my excitement. Finding Gotcha Force puts me ever closer to finishing my personal GCN collection. My love for the cube is one of the main reasons I even got into this hobby and started collecting. The GCN specifically is my favorite console and the main thing I love to collect for. So please excuse my gushing as I'm ecstatic  ;D

The first day I only traded 4 games for $100.

The second day I traded a box of games for $250.  I'd have to find the receipt.  There were a few games they paid $20, there were a bunch they paid $8-12, and I traded a bunch of trash games that they paid $4-7.

All in all, I had maybe $100 in it all and got $350.

I'm going to build another pile to go trade in tomorrow if I can before the trade deal ends.  Last batch will probably net me less than $50.

I've been gone on vacation for the last two weeks.  I stopped at a couple of local game shops where I was to get a sense of the market.

Prices varied wildly.  One shop was over priced and had a couple of more rare titles, but still had a lack of selection, and the other shop was priced slightly under market, but had nothing even remotely uncommon.

All that to say I didn't pick anything up.

However, Persona 4 Golden was finally back to a super low price on the Vita PSN store, so I did get that.

Half Price Books is doing one of their coupon weeks and yesterday was 40% off your highest item. We decided to venture up to the lone HPB in the Dayton area which is a good 45 or so minutes away and it's a good thing we did because I happened upon some import PSP goodness including...

Sengoku Ace Episode III (JPN release)
Twinbee Portable (ASN release)
Parodius Portable (JPN release)
Salamander Portable (ASN release)

I managed to get the Salamander and Parodius games @ 40% off with the help of my cousin (I've burned my coupons so he could get higher priced collectible vinyl records for cheap in the past) and used a calender 10% off coupon for the other two games and books/comics I picked up.

Prior to that we hit up 2nd and Charles and I picked up the following titles on the cheap...

Rollcage Stage II (PS)
Impossible Mission (DS)
Pro Cast Sports Fishing (Xbox)
Hot Shots Golf Fore! (PS2)
Winter 2003 Jampack (PS2)

Earlier in the day we hit up our local flea market and I picked up some games from a guy I've known for years that were B2G1F

TNN Bass Tournament of Champions (SNES)(CIB)
Super Hang-On (GEN)(CIB)
World Championship Soccer (GEN)(CIB)(Ended up being a dupe  :-\)
Carnival Games (XB360)
PopCap Hits! Vol. 1 (PS2)(Sealed)
Reel Fishing III (PS2)

Another vendor I'm friends with hooked me up with ESPN Baseball Tonight (GEN)(CIB) and Super Caesars Palace (SNES)(CIB) for $5 total.

Lastly (firstly?), our first stop of the day was a GameStop near my local comic shop that had a used copy of Touhou Kobuto V: Burst Battle. I burned the last of my PUR points to bring the price down on it. I had planned on getting it for PS4 but I figured my tiny Switch collection could use some love.  ;)

Well that didn't last long :/

I've wanted to pick up Versus for a while, but from what I've seen and read about it, $20 is sort of my limit for that game.

Amazon had Gundam Versus for $10 so I bought a copy.

Also hit HPB over the weekend for the 40% sale and picked up Sonic Lost World and The Croods for Wii U, spent about $10.

Same, so when I saw it for $10, I snatched a copy quick.  May never play it either, sounds like it's online only.

My girlfriend and I decided to visit Toys R' Us one last time before they officially begin their liquidation sale and the place gets ransacked. We originally went in to maybe buy one thing each as a memento from the exact Toys R' Us that we both grew up with. This plan ended up changing pretty quick after we arrived.

We spent over an hour there walking around and talking about memories we had there over the years and of course just admiring their stock like we have hundreds of times before. What was intended to be a trip where we each bought a $10 action figure or clearance game turned into a much smaller version of the Nickelodeon Super Toy Run where we decided to get various things that we wanted and would remind us of the decades we'd spent going to Toys R' Us.

I bought Star Fox as part of one of my most vivid memories of going to Toys R' Us; around the time Star Fox 64 came out they had a demo available to play on their N64 store kiosk. I was so engrossed in playing the Star Fox 64 demo  that I failed to realize my dad had walked off without me or that he had been paging me for the last 10-minutes while I was completely absorbed in playing one of the coolest games Id ever played up until then. Of course I had to get a video game while I was there seeing how I have bought countless games there ever since the N64 days, and Shadow of the Colossus remake has been on my radar since it came out. And then finally Crossfire!

I thought I remembered hearing somewhere that they re-released Crossfire, but when I saw it on the shelf I genuinely freaked out since I've been after a complete copy of the original for a while now. The fact that it would probably be the last thing I'd ever get gleeful for at Toys R' Us and that it is a Toys R' Us exclusive made it a no brainer to buy. Not only that, but it reminded me of when I would see those awesome 90s toy commercials and desperately long for every single one, which was made even worse each time I went to Toys R' Us with my parents and saw them in person, but often could not get them.

My girlfriend got the wolf since she used to buy those plastic animals figures a lot as a kid, including a similar white wolf when she was younger. And being the insane Pokemon fan she is, she got some small figures like the ones she used to get during the early, gen 1 days of Pokemon.

While this all might seem pretty ridiculous, and quite frankly it is, I will miss Toys R' Us terribly as it not only represents one of the most special parts of my childhood, but also is a symbol of a bygone era that is nearly dead at this point. The time before the internet and ecommerse when brick and mortar stores were king and you found out about games and toys via TV commercials, word of mouth, magazines, and catalogs. I lament the death of specialized retail stores and sadly we will probably see many more go within the next decade or so.

Toys R' Us, you will be sorely missed by me and many others ....

Finally added The Art of The Last of Us to my collection! Been looking for it a while, and couldn't pass it up. Also the first proper artbook I own!

I also found an used copy of Mr. Driller: Drill Spirits and decided why the hell not, since it was like 5 euros anyway.
