April 2014 pickups

SNES Beauty and the Beast CIB (NOE) - I am happy to snag this box in such condition. 30euro
SNES manuals
Seaquest cover is rough but it's a copy for the scan collection.





more SNES stuff coming this week ...


on another note, I noticed that Prince of Persia manual has a error: the back cover lists that Parodius is a trademark.
I wonder if we can increase the value of game content with errors and misprints like card collectors.

I also notice by collecting manuals that Olympic Summer Games has two manuals in the EUR zone:
one like mine without an snes code and no language color (triangle)
one with the code and a multi-language triangle.

can't wait until you see the photos of my next few CIBs. You know which ones. Good stuff.
I'm anxious to get the packages. I'll post when the package arrives.

I have a GameBoy Advance CIB en-route. I'll post when it arrives.

seriously sweet find for quite the amazing price! you'd be surprised how often I catch the gamexchange stores here in Oklahoma. I found a copy of metal warriors marked at 3.99 a few months back and always keep my eye out in the bargain bin section.

CIB would've been an amazing score. The prices are so freekin high right now. Carts are too, so it's still a good deal. I never knew that Wild Guns was selling for such high prices until recently. I see the EUR CIBs selling for 500euro and higher. Yikes!

nice pickups.

by the way, I'm jealous about the Kat's Run CIB. Any chance you could scan the box? I hate to ask because we're not exactly chums but i'd love to pass this box in favor of another. I have some other boxes that i'd like to buy instead. Anyway, if not then no worries.

So, I just sold my car on Craigslist for a few hundred bucks and the stuff in the picture. For a 20 year old beater with some significant problems, I think I came out pretty good!

Xbox 360 Elite (320GB hard drive), with all the cables for it
4 controllers (one of which is pretty beaten up, anyone have any advice for fixing sticky buttons?)
2 battery pack chargers with 4 battery packs
A headset
Ethernet cable
250 GB Super Slim PS3, with its cables and one controller

4 controllers (one of which is pretty beaten up, anyone have any advice for fixing sticky buttons?)

My girlfriend actually brought me home a 360 controller that was given to her recently when helping a friend move and the buttons were sticky on it. All I did was remove the screws to open it up, (a small flathead screwdriver might be able to do the trick. it did for me) and give the buttons and controller shell a good rinse with water. That should do it!

Just a heads up, be aware there is a screw hidden underneath the sticker in the battery pack slot.

I totally would have missed that one! I handle hidden screws badly - I tend to assume 'it's just stuck' and pull on things harder

I've recently started collecting multiple issues of game manuals in order to document differences/changes.
I have Cool Spot SNSP-C8-NOE and now I have SNSP-C8-NOE-1.
I notice a size difference with Cool Spot manuals: NOE measures about 17.2x11.8 while NOE-1 measures 17.1x11.7
interesting.

Prince of Persia differences can be noticed immediately when comparing the back page of the manuals.
Incidentally, NOE-1 lists Parodius is a trademark (not Prince of Persia.)
interesting.

anyone else notice differences of other manuals?

I see the difference between Drakkhen original box and reissue 1.
The original has teal text without a black background on the cover.
