Received my six Atelier Mereru LE's in today's mail.

One (my "personal" copy) I promptly ripped-open, checked out the art-book, t-shirt, and OST (which I'll be listening to shortly and plan to put towards the top of my backlog list.

That said, I've always been quite pleased with buying (*usually*, as I did here) 1 copy for myself and 5 "investment" copies...

The *worst* that I've *ever* done on one is to break-even...and...more often than not, a year or so after buying them, they usually get sold for two to three times what I bought them for (and without much effort).

HA!

You're right - that *does* look kinda' neat :)

That's just the picture of the game though, not the LE's Box...I'm gonna' try and find/add all of the right pics & info. soon.

Damn Nis for boxes w/ no bar-codes and/or #'s on some of their LE boxes  >:(

I also bot my LE Meruru, though I only got one copy xD

I wanted to take a picture of the GUST games I own around the nice little barrel t-shirt... but I'm missing Neptunia MKII, so it'd be incomplete and whotnot, so I just settled for wearing the shirt instead ;)

Lookie what I got



Not possible? Obviously it's a transfer and a repro, but looks like a legit retail version. I'm keeping it sealed, but you can see the inserts here:

Well, randomly went to the headquarters of evil (EBgames), ended up picking up Raiden Fighter Aces on 360 on the cheap.

A positive side of this is that they had one of those standup cardboard thingies to advertise games, this one for Lollipop Chainsaw, and the guy told me I could get it for free if I came back to get it in mid-August if I got to it before they threw it away... I'll have to remember to do that :P

I know this seems like forever ago, but I don't generally forget important things. :P

I just now got the Harvest Moon Alpaca. I did find out, in watching them on eBay, that the ones given out at E3 that year have a white face and feet, while the pre-order ones were brown, so now I'm keeping an eye out for a cheap white one.

The alpaca ended up costing me $12 (after shipping) and the game was $20, so I only saved $8 vs. buying it new. I guess from now on I'll just pre-order them when they have the toys rather than go through the hassle for months after. But I'm back to saying that I have all the pre-order toys they've ever done again.  ;D

Not many finds at the garage sales this weekend.  I saw a few games, but they were all pretty overpriced (found some $5 NES games, all common).

I did manage to pick up one game:
Legend of Dragoon (PS1 - Greatest Hits version)

I also bought a 'broken' PS2 for just $1.  Hopefully it's a simple repair, but if not I'm only out a buck.
