September 2012 pickups

Those are some rock-solid games right there!

I need to pick up regular FF again. I think I ditched it when I got FFG for some reason (prolly because Cody blows LOL!)

[madrocsz]

I got a few things so far, however still waiting on shipments (Mainly GW2 collectors edition so i can play the fekin game) to come in mail from UPS from last week, everything is delayed due to hurricane. Will post pics soon , early this month and got like 12 games so far lol

I've got FF Guy but haven't played it.  Is Guy actually better to play the game with than Cody?

I'm looking to acquire Final Fight 2 and 3 to complete the SNES set.

Guy fits into the fast but weak beat 'em up mold.  Those tend to be my favorite characters in that genre.

Haggar = Strong/Slow
Cody = "Balanced"
Guy = Weak/Fast

Any Disney recommendations? I'm trying to go for movies that I don't already own on VHS format, and then once I finish that I'll start "converting" some tapes.

My current Disney DVD collection;

Oliver & Company
Lion King
Dinosaur
Atlantis: The Lost Empire
Lilo & Stitch
Three Musketeers (Mickey+Donald+Goofy)
Goofy Movie (In the mail)
Toy Story (DVD+BR combo)
Toy Story 2 (DVD+BR combo)
Toy Story 3
Monsters Inc.
Up
102 Dalmations

Currently I'm going for some of the 1990's movies first, since those are what I have the most nostalgia for, as well as Snow White since it's the first Disney animated movie if I'm not mistaken.

Do you have The Little Mermaid: Penis Edition yet?

[sheep2001]

@AO007

Black cauldron
Sword in the stone
Treasure planet
Rescuers
Fox and the hound
Aristocats

They are all great -  although it's quite some years since I actually watched any

[Retro Deckades]

You know, I think I may be in the minority here, but I freakin' loved Disney's Hercules. I plan on buying that on DVD should Disney ever get off their asses and release a nice edition.

[wiggy]

I can't get into the Disney stuff, especially not the modern films (Little Mermaid and up). Too formulaic and that formula doesn't do anything for me :/

I do love me some Pixar though (minus Cars 2 and Brave).

Skipping those that sheep recommended already...

Aladdin. Just... Aladdin.
Aladdin 3. You can skip 2, it was usual straight to video junk quality (more a pilot for the TV series than anything), but 3 is a real deal.
Lion King 1 1/2. (or, as it is less confusingly named outside of the US - Lion King 3), at least if you like Timon and Pumba. It's sort of "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead" for The Lion King. Follows those two through the plot of the first movie in a consistently tongue-in-cheek manner. Still haven't watched Lion King 2, so can't say one way or the other there.
Rescuers Down Under. Watched this many times as a kid before I was even aware of the first one. Kinda samey, but I prefer it (might be nostalgia goggles)
Sleeping Beauty. Even if you're not into the princess stuff, this movie's just freaking beautiful.
Great Mouse Detective.

And I still haven't gotten around to seeing it, but my friends swear by Emperor's New Groove.

I just received in the mail today three different packages from ebay auctions where they said broken or untested N64 systems. I got a total of 12 systems and only one had a jumper pak. There were no cables or anything like that. One Jungle Green, one Grape and the rest charcoal. Everyone of them worked and now I am planning to sell them individually on ebay hopefully for a profit. I'm just not sure if it's worth my time and money to buy a lot of jumper paks and cables or sell them as is. I would post pictures but I'm having a hard time getting it to work, maybe you guys can help me out. I have no problem linking to my box account but can never get pics posted directly in my message

[Arseen]

Don't know has Box.net image linking, I'd suggest using imageshack.

Imageshack is not good for covers but it's good for photo posting.

buying jumper pak and cables for then might cut into your profit.
try craigslist maybe a reseller who has plenty of spare parts might want them.
and you will make some money...

But can potentially add significant value to the systems as well. It would require a little research to see if it's worthwhile or not.

There are plenty of auctions with 10+ lots of jumper packs/AC adapters/AV cables. I think what would give them the most added value is controllers, but those are gonna cost a bunch versus the hookups

Yeah, in fact it's not uncommon to see excellent condition N64 controllers command a higher price than a standalone system.
