Maybe the shipping employees mistook it for the wii u version and stole the package for a quick flip  ::), It is apparently a pretty pricy game for the wii u especially in the US

3 times is quite allot and for the 360 not really a game that sellers want to scam with, It's a waste of time. Doesn't seem like pure (bad)luck to me if that would happen 3 times with the same game.

I'm doubting it was theft/scam as all these were through Amazon via different sellers all fulfilled by Amazon. The first two times it never got shipped out, so my order was cancelled and refunded due to inventory issues. This time however, it was because the UPS truck caught on fire somewhere along the way and my package was one of the casualties. But I got my refund, and am more amused than concerned or irritated, as I've had worse happen to me and I've still got plenty of other games left to get for the 360.

Stopped at one of the last sales of the 100+ subdivision sales. All day I was finding newer stuff and most sales where telling me that I was the third to ask about games. I ask at this sale and the man tells me the same thing, I was like the third to ask. Then he said I still have my old Atari, I ask if he was looking to sell? He says he wasn't sure...
I talk to him about old games and how I was looking for a certain Atari and he decides to bring it out.
He comes out with an Atari 2600 (6-switch light) with 14 games and a bunch of controllers. I look through it didn't see anything I really needed then I ask him what He'd sell it for and he throws it back at me to make an offer. I say $20? and he looks shocked like I offered him $100 for it. lol
I was about to leave when he says I might have some more... Okay I'll wait and he goes to look. He comes out with a box full of PS1 & PS2 games. I look through it and pick out a few PS1 games. (All the PS2 games where sports or Tom Clancey games I didn't need) He said he couldn't sell (Die Hard Trilogy) but would sell the rest of the stack for $5. I jokingly ask anything else? He said he had a Genesis but it didn't work.
I ask if he still had any of the games? He said he'd go look. A few minutes later he brings out a small box full of games. mostly loose but a few had boxes. I saw a couple real good ones and ask a price and again he throws it back at me for an offer and I had to offer $20 and he was happy to take it.  ;D

I went to one yard sale this weekend, saw an N64 Transfer Pak and bought it for $2.

Rest of the weekend was Gamestops and a local game shop.  I was in a Gamestop looking at Wii and Wii U games.  Grabbing bunches of hardish to find cheapo games and the one employee is on the phone with a customer and walks over to the Wii U section and grabs a game off the shelf and says "No, it doesn't have the original case, do you still want it?  Okay, I'll hold it for you"  and I'm just like fuck, did I just miss that this store had one of the pricey games on the cheap.  It was Croods priced at $49.99 loose disc basically.  And this dude wanted it regardless.

I didn't take a picture and I don't recall what I got, so I'll have to do that maybe later or tomorrow.

I'm pretty happy with what i found the last few days, i first got a few games i really wanted in a yard sales and then today i found a recently released game i also really wanted for way less than what i thought i was going to pay for it, first are what i found in the yard sales:

A woman was selling a lot of PS2 & PS3 games and a few other things for 2€ each but most of the cases didn't had the rights disk inside, with her consent i started to check and sort her games while putting on the side what i wanted to buy, sadly i couldn't find all the disks for what i wanted but i still got a few games and she even give me a good price for them

PS2
.Hack Quarantine (the bonus DVD is missing sadly but i know a gamer who will still be pretty happy when i will give him this since he searched it for years now)
Armored Core 2: Another Age (CIB, YES ! I'm only missing Last Raven now to have all the Armored Core on PS2)
Myth Makers: Super Kart GP (CIB, I love shitty games ;D and the first two i had were badly fun, that also make another series complete now 8))

PS3
Tales of Xillia 2 Day One Edition (CIB, i had trouble finding the music disk that comes with it but i finally found it in a copy a Kingdom Hearts 2 on PS2... couldn't find the disk for KH2 though :-\)

I also got ChuChu Rocket ! for Dreamcast (loose, only have the front cover and the disk) and Game & Watch Gallery for Game Boy (loose), i got the whole lot for only 6€  8).

I also found on another stand a few PC games :

Hits Collection 2006 (0,50€)
KKND Krush Kill 'N' Destroy (BigBox - 2€)
Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness (BigBox -2€. The third edition i have in my collection now, that one is the MAC Edition)

And here are what i found today while checking a few shops:

PS4
Utawarerumono: Mask of Deception (CIB, with the artbook inside, 15€... well it was used of course but still... what shocked me more was that an employee was trying to convince me to not buy it  :o "the game isn't translated in french and the voices are in Chinese or something like that, we have better games in stock... we just received an used copy of Tekken 7 and Dirt 4 if you want"...  ::)).

PC
Legend of Kay Anniversary (New for 0.99€, i was waiting for a price drop on Steam... i don't think i can find a better price ;D)

I also got a PS3 Batman Arkham City Controller (made by Power A, new for 8,99€), two Skylanders Eon's Elite (Spyro and Whirlwind, 3€ each) and two TitanFall K'Nex box (for 1,50€ each).

I made a solid offer that any normal guy would't refuce offered the guy 29 euro's shipped and gave him a printscreen of the payment for a cib copy of. Pretty sure I could have bought it for a tenner if it was a local pickup but I could't take any chances.

Cubivores survival of the fittest   ;D

Have never seen this game being sold by collectors in europe even on ebay except for some years ago. Pretty tough to find outside of the US let alone from someone who did not know what he had and just randomly bought the game in the past.



In my opinion not a heavy hitter but I didn't expect to find it for a low price let alone in europe a pretty awesome game gameplay wise. My snes collection is getting kinda decent some solid weeks I won't complain.

- Sega Control Stick
- Sega Rapid Fire Adapter

NES
Stopped at a sale and asked about games and the lady told me no and she was already asked twice.  :-\
There was another sale right next door, figured it was already hit but I asked anyway. The lady said she had a Nintendo but she still liked to play it. I ask if she had any games she doesn't play anymore? She thought about it a second and told her daughter to bring out any games they didn't play. The little girl brings out three games. The mother looked them over and said I could buy two of them. (she wanted to keep baseball stars) Here's the two games I got for $1 each.
- Popeye
- Terminator 2

I saw an ad for a sale and it advertised NES, SNES, N64, Playstation, PS2, and Turbografx 16. I knew this was one of two things 1. A reseller or 2. a Collector. It was an hour drive to get there but I had to see what he had.
I get there and already see people there. A couple I recognized as collector's and resellers. The guy was a collector and they where priced pritty much a little under Ebay. there was not that many T16 games but he did have one T16CD game I needed. He also had a huge tub full of INTV and Atari games. I look through it and find a couple I was missing. It was tough getting him to deal. Best I could get him to do was all three for $30.
INTV
- Super Pro Decathlon
- World Cup Soccer
T16CD
- Sherlock Holmes 2

Next I was at a sale and saw he had a XB360 for sale. I ask about games and he tells me he had some PS2, I was like okay I'll take a look and then he says I also have an old Atari. I told him I'll take a look at that too. He first brings out the PS2 games and there where all crap. Then after a long wait he brings out a large tub. I open and see an Atari 5200 with 17 games. I ask a price and he wanted $40. I tell him how the controllers usually don't work and he swears it worked last time he used it. (we'll see about that. lol) I also point out the lid was missing. He finally agrees to sell it for $30 and I felt sorry for the old Atari and gave in. lol Here are the games it came with.
Atari 5200
- Pac-Man
- Space Invaders
- Centipede
- Defender
- Super Breakout
- Missile Command
- Star Raiders
- Galaxian
- Qix
- Pole Position
- Kangaroo
- Jungle Hunt
- Joust
- Vanguard
- Space Dungeon
- Star Wars The Arcade Game
- Unknown Parker Bros. Game (guessing Frogger)

N64
And last the one that could have gotten away. lol
I stopped at a sale and ask about games and the lady acted like she had something but in the end I couldn't get her to go look. So as I leave I bump into an old friend and game collector. I stop and we talk and while we are talking the lady comes up to me and shows me a shoe box. "Is this what your looking for?" I open the box and see a N64 with 2 controllers and some games. My friend is looking at me like WTH. I ask a price and she says $20 and I pay her ASAP. lol My friend starts to ask what was in the box and I tell him I'll show you when I get to your place. (He invited me over to check out his game room, this is where I traded the FFIX.) If I didn't bump into my friend odds are I would have left by the time she found the N64. Here's what I got. All the games are like brand new.
- N64 with 2 controllers and a RAM pak inside. (even had manual and a poster about hooking up a NES and SNES)
- Nascar 2000
- Diddy Kong Racing (with manual)
- Super Mario 64 (with manual)
- Mario Kart 64 (with manual)
- The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
- The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask - CE (with a strategy guide)
 
It was a good weekend for games.  8)

Two games came into the mail for me. WWF War Zone for GB and WWF Raw for GG.


I was supposed to get three, but they sent me a wrong game so I'll see if I can get an exchange for the proper one I ordered...

EDIT: The store got back to me and they are aware they made a mistake, so they have sent me the proper game I ordered. I am returning the wrong one they sent me.
