Just received my Majora's Mask Puzzle. For obvious reason, I didn't expect to receive it in a bag. Kind of a big deception when I thought I would have a nice box to display.

That makes me so disappointed...I was looking forward to mine and now...I'm not..

Just got mine today as well. Not too impressed.... Getting it in a bag was one thing, but that bag was simply put in the shipping bag so go figure there was some damage during shipping! >:(

So I was probably going to pick this up one day, but was in no rush.  Then I saw this sexy ass box and had no idea if this was uncommon or limited so...I have THIS now.





I like the games, even X-2 has it's charms.  They're few, but they're there.  This also seems to be a better version than the PS3 version that I passed on, so I am not technically triple dipping. 

I also needed a new Power Base Converter.  Found this on eBay and got it for $40 shipped...







Everything is there, even the paperwork.  The problem is the guy just taped a mailing address to the actual PBC box, and didn't bother to put it into a shipping box.  I complained about box damage, as there is some, and got $10 back.  So...working PBC in box for $30.   :D

So right after finding a CIB Power Base Converter, I find this on craigslist for $80

CIB Super NES w/ SMW







Box is in really good condition, given it's over 20 years old.  Some wear on the side flaps, and dents and dings here and there, but a really good looking box overall.
The system itself is really clean and works perfectly.  It doesn't have the original AC adapter, but that's an easy fix.

Very nice.  Too bad someone slapped a shipping label on it.  :-[
Maybe, just once, someone will call me "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene."

Ignore the price in magic marker in the top right.  This was $3 at a local Goodwill.  It wasn't even behind the display case where most of the high end games go.

That's no shipping label -- that's the original warranty card which the purchaser mails in. That's pretty mint!

My bad. I'm normally smarter than that.  :P

I guess I'm just used to people doing dumb things like slapping shipping labels right on the original box rather than putting it into a real shipping box.

the Power Base Converter HAD a shipping label on it, but I carefully removed it.  The SNES has the warranty card, which is awesome

Strangely happy to see RE and Makai Kingdom - maybe because they feel so out of place with the rest of these?

A few more Goodwill pickups.  I'm looking for a cover to Glover if anyone has it.






And these were given to me for free by a friend.

Also, I finally broke down and became a minivan owner.  I never thought I would, but the truth is that there is nothing else on the market that is as convenient or spacious.  It also has a TV screen with A/V inputs.  That will make it easier to test game consoles on the road.  Plus I still have my truck, so I haven't completely given up my man card.  ;)

I missed last month. Giant Mega Man is stupidly large. Like... will have to invent a new space just for him and giant X.
