Just received Animal Crossing from Foxhack, thanks a lot!  :D I can't wait to see my weed-covered town.

I loaded up my GC AC file a few months ago. The comments I got from the villagers were great.
Now Playing: Persona 5 Scramble, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Mario Kart 8

Amazing finds, especially that Suikoden II for $8. ;) That alone would've made the trip, but the rest were pretty solid deals too.

Much of these finds came from a garage sale who was a fellow game collector, A reseller got there right before I did, but he gave the reseller near full value (the reseller passed on most of the good stuff then once he talked to me and saw I was a collector / gamer (i even showed him pics of my game room) he hooked me up with some deals. This is where I got Harvest Moon, Sunset Riders the Jag Games, Mega Man IV, Castlevania and many other stuff.

Holy crap - that's just crazy.   :o

became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the
desire to be very grown up.” ― C.S. Lewis

Didn't find much today despite going to my usual three shops, but I did find a complete copy of Star Wars: Empire at War on PC.  Normally I don't collect PC unless it's something I really want, like a game I use to play or perhaps it'll be a big box game with cool art, but it was only a buck and it's the kind of game where it's just at that point where I can still play it if I want to lol

Sense I already owned Pokemon Y, I would have gotten Mario Party Island Tour as the 6th game.

Funny you should say that because these were mixed in with about 10 other PS1 games behind the glass case, half of which were sports games for the same price. I was freaking out when I saw those two sitting next to Formula 1 2000 and NHL 1999 lol.

Pokemon Leaf Green -$3
Pokemon Emerald -$3

House 3:
Mario Party 4

The gamecube plus 2 controllers and a memory card
Which in total only cost us $20.

Prices down another notch at Toys R Us, their clearance table down 85%, so I grabbed Call of Duty Ghosts for only ten bucks, and a Tomb Raider statue for only 3 bucks.
