Yeah, like I said it was a good deal. I left out the part where I drove an hour to get them tho...soooo....gas lol.

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.

Yeah, I really want to see Aladdin again. It's definitely going to be part of my next Amazon batch if I can't score a copy at my local Wal-Mart.
Speaking of my local Wal-Mart, holy crap check these deals out;
Pocahontas 1+2 - $19.96
Fox & The Hound 1+2 - $19.96
Lady & The Tramp - $14.96
And that's not all, I saw Hunchback of Notre Dame for a whopping $9.96. I've just gotta cop that after seeing it today(on tape, mind you). It's like top 5 disney movies for me right now, and that's after watching Pocahontas, Lion King, Fun & Fancy Free, Melody Time, Monsters Inc, and Lady & The Tramp in the span of a couple days
Also, I've seen Lion King 1 1/2 a bazillion times when it came out... it's a much better sequel than Lion King 2, but I'll get a copy from Amazon for like $6 as opposed to $19.96 at Wal-Mart. Only thing that makes Lion King 2 worth a DVD purchase would be the soundtrack; At any rate, I already own it on tape.

It's always the gas, damnit.

Yeah, people rarely figure gas into the equation. Glad to see someone else does :)
So I'm guessing about 50 bucks total. Still nothing to cry about. As stated already, GH on its own makes it worthwhile.

Yeah, I am all over Code Princess, had preordered it from newegg when they had it for 10$ off. Guardian heroes was a nice score yeah, worth a bit. Contra was initially caught my eye as that I have seen go for 60$+ easy too and I had no idea about the guardian heroes until I got a chance to open them all.
I equate gas into things, usually, lately I have been running so many errands for work I have been on work's gas dime so was more a time consideration than that of money. There have been numerous solid deals I have passed on simply due to distance and gas concerns made it less of a deal.

BTW, I wasn't joking about this. As I understand it, collectors really do look for this one since the artwork was revised for later releases.
