May 4th and this is the first post of the pick ups

I'm so used to Arseen starting the new thread, that I just post in the most recent one.  My last pickups were posted May 2nd, but I put them in the April Pickups thread.  I didn't even realize it until just now.

It just goes to show how good BOTW is (or at least how much Arseen is enjoying it).

^^^ I totally just posted in the April thread too by accident lol!


1/2 off square-enix stuff

Today's HPB haul:

[FritzWhite]

I haven't hit garage sales in at least a year so I decided to get out there again last week and today. I had a major DOH! moment on both outings when I left items behind.

Last week I picked up the Wii console with the 3 games for $3 but forgot to bring the controller..

Today I bought the NES games and boxes. Some of the boxes are complete, some are just box and manual missing the game. The gameboy is only the box and inserts, no system. I scored all of the NES stuff for $110 and left behind a good condition Zapper gun box with inserts.  



Edit: dang, I just realized something else. The guy at the garage sale had a Legend of Zelda Gameboy Advance with the box in perfect condition. He said it wasn't available in the US. I had no idea how much it was worth and offered $40 which he turned down. It seems to be quite valuable... damn.

The SP?  Yeah, they're valuable, for sure. Been hunting for one forever. Literally since they launched and no UK online retailer at the time would ship to the U.S.

Dang, the system and box looked perfect too. Maybe I'll visit him tomorrow and see if it's still there.

If it's CIB, then I wouldn't offer him anything less than $200. He clearly knows what he has.

Look what I got in today.



Which normally wouldn't be that big of a deal.  But it completes this.



296/296 baby.  I need to go through and clean up a bunch of these.  I just ordered 300 cases from shadowfox too.

Nice!  Congrats on completing the set!

Here were my pick ups from the weekend.  Just need 1 more Mega Man for the NES set (MM 5).

[TDIRunner]

That's my favorite GB game right there, and one I NEVER hear anyone talk about. 

[palmer6strings]

Donkey Kong is your favorite GB game? I like it, but it's far from my favorite.

[tylerbgood]

Not my favorite Game Boy game, but probably my favorite classic-style Donkey Kong game. All the added game mechanics made it a very competent puzzle platformer. I hadn't thought about this little game in years! I practically wore out my Super Game Boy with this back in the day. Finding the keys, building ladders, the variety of settings, oh boy! Gotta go, now I need to check eBay.

I don't know, maybe if I gave it some more thought, I would come up with another GB game I like better, but it's certainly near the top of that list.  And it's definitely one of the better games that I never hear mentioned in anyone's "best of" lists.  The same can be said for most of the games in the Mario vs. Donkey Kong series, especially the one for the GBA.
