Got this Oceanhorn vita copy in my mailbox when I came back from vacation.
Came with a nice collector card, much better than a LR sticker if you ask me.

Coincidently, I also got (finally) a PS Vita! Can't wait to give this game a try  :D

I noticed the card with my Jotun as well.  I thought I was pretty up to date on LRG news, but I must have missed the announcement about that.  Is the trading card replacing the stickers and post cards?
Maybe, just once, someone will call me "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene."

I presume so, since I didn't get any of those this time.

If so, I like the idea, because the trading card seems to be a standard size which will make it easy to display in a sleeve 3 ring binder.  Where as the stickers and post cards were not standard sizes, and I've been having trouble finding a display solution for those.

Yeah, the postcard and stickers are out for trading cards.  There are multiple trading cards for each release and also either silver (90%) or gold (10%) versions.  They are going to sell packs later on so you can try and get ones you don't have or trade with people to try and get a full set.  Some think its cool, the people that must have everything hate it lol.  They did this since Play-Asia, Signature, and others were including postcard / stickers in their sets so they wanted to differentiate themselves.

I got stickers with Drive Drive Drive and Neuro Whatchamacallit.  Might have been a postcard too. I'll have to check...

Got in on the Limited Run Games sale on Lili this morning.  Wow do they sell out fast.  I will never understand why they do such "limited" runs.  Hope the game is worth it.

Ugh.  I wanted both of those and of course missed them both.  Now the eBay scalpers are the only ones selling them.  *groan*

My wonderboy package is still in limbo. Label was created on the 15th, but still hasn't been picked up/dropped off (according to USPS tracking, which is often complete shit).

First off, here were my finds from a flea market this weekend.  Yes, those are AES games and the Sega CD games are all new sealed games.



Then pretty much all my pending LRG games came in at once.

Crazy that a video store used to rent Neo-Geo games.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Neo Geo games never came with a shrink wrap seal.  So if they're from the same vendor as the Sega CD games, you may want to give them a really close look...

Yeah, I'll double check them.  I know at least one of them has the plastic hang tag on the back and I believe the other 2 had the overlap.  If they are not original seals, it's not a big loss as they are all common games and they were dirt cheap.

Found a Power Glove at a local store, it is only the glove so it's just a display piece but I didn't spend that much on it and it will look nice in my room. (Mediafire is down for maintenance so I'll update with a pic tomorrow)
