I spent $70 on e-Reader cards over the past day or two, someone please stop me.
Got this for $25
I'm going to sell off the e-Reader and DK JR. cards. I now have an almost complete starter pack. Minus the Pokemon cards, I do not care much for them.
KalessinDB:
No pictures yet as the auction just ended 8 hours ago, but I just acquired Jack Bros (US) with manual for the Virtual Boy. My US Virtual Boy collection is now complete! ;D
Chances are good I'll eventually get the JP V-Tetris since it's not like you need to speak Japanese to play Tetris... might even some day dip into the homebrew for the system (though I already have the Flashboy+ flash cart for it). It's just such an unloved system and such a tiny library, but I really enjoy (most of) the games for it. Wario Land is awesome, and I'm looking forward to playing Jack Bros for real-real now.

I've been looking into getting a VB recently, but I haven't justified spending the money on one yet.
I saw a few reasonably priced ones a few days ago on eBay, but I did not have any money in my Paypal.
I got to play one at my local retro games store.
Blumpkin:
I remember playing a store display Virtual Boy as a child. That scarred me for life and has kept my interest in ever owning one at absolute zero.

No pictures tonight since I'm lazy.
But I did receive Pokemon Trading Card Game 2 and a boxed japanese version of dragon quest/warrior 3 in the mail today.
Just snap bought Pokemon Ruby, Fire Red and Emerald boxed for 110. Seems like a lot but recently a fire red went for $170 on Aussie eBay. With Ruby selling for hopefully $70-80 (as I already have one) and me selling my cart copy of emerald for $30, I should recoup my expenditure :D
