I'd also love to see some pics of your collection.  I often think mine is huge, until I see one that is far bigger.

Sounds like a "Soer-ism" :P

Gargoyle's Quest is one of the few Gameboy games I really want. Good score

Does this go on this thread or on the other thread? Hm...

I just received Portal 2 Soundtrack: Songs To Test By Collectors Edition from Amazon. It took them -a month- to send it to me. But I got it. Woo.

Not much of a haul but its better than nothing : I was walking around a game store looking at stuff when this family comes in with a box. I tried to peek in it but to no avail. No sweat ... I just kind of remained by when the employee walks up. We have had plenty of conversations before so hes cool and he knows Im a collector so he doesnt mind me there. First thing the lady pulls out is a Gamecube. The employee told her that they dont buy them atm cause they have too many. She says "It even has this cool thing that lets you play Gameboy games." I figure that was going to be my cue in a moment to hit her up. I look up at the employee and he nods at me ... so I ask her what she wanted for it. She said she wants to sell it cheap cause her kids are in trouble and she wants to get rid of it. I open the GC and the disk isnt in there. I ask if she has it and sure enough she has the disk, the manual and the case. She says she will sell me everything for $15. I pause for drama's sake but tell her Ill take it. I give her the $15 and hit the door. In the car, I go through it all. Gamecube, 2 official matching controllers, GB player with disk and memory card, and half dozen games including Zelda Windwaker and 2 GB Pokemon games : red and gold. They are missing the label but they are still in the color matching cartridges. Not too bad I suppose. I need to clean up the disks but they work. Both the Pokemon games work.

Nabbed a few more for the Vectrex:

Armor Attack
Art Master
Pole Position
Spin Ball
Starhawk
Web Wars

I think I'm now missing nine overlays, seven games and the light pen from having what I consider to be a "complete" collection (excluding Mr. Boston and Minestorm II).

Not much of a haul, huh?  It takes a lot to impress you, doesn't it?  GameCube, 2 controllers, and Gameboy Player for $15?  I'll give you $15 for the GameBoy player, then you get the rest for free.

Really? The Game Boy Player is awesome! It's like a much better version of the Super Game Boy. Only, it also allows you to play GBA games too. Not to mention, you can use it as a giant GBA and link it to another GC w/ GB Player and play 2 player co-op on 2 TVs! Win.

Only wanted to add that the games look better than they ever have before on the Game Boy Player, as well.
