    This is more of a "this month" than a "this week", but I'm the kind of guy who considers posting to this thread just to forget about it five minutes later. Shout out to our very own Lurchzilla and 8bitdreams for HyperZone and R-Type respectively.



    I'm still in disbelief over that Super Metroid. It's the oldest purchase in this picture, but feels like it happened yesterday still.

     



    I am super jealous i am still trying to find a mint CIB super metroid for a decent price, it's like the last CIB snes i need to replac after i sold off my collection a few years ago to a ninja of a reseller. Nice grabs dude



    P.S. Metroid always has the stupid UPC cutout!!!!

    Man what the hell is it with people cutting the UPC out? Was there some kind of promotion going on for half the 90s that I don't remember? "Deface your box and get a free t-shirt" or something equally questionable? I see that all the time with boxes I'm trying to get - great price - but suddenly, there's a gaping hole in it. Really brings out the anger in me.

    I always wondered about that. I had a boxed SNES that I traded away and the upc was cut out

    Usually it's promotional stuff. I know for metroid that's what it was. Could be the same for the system too.



    I just notice it's extremely prevalent with metroid, i would say about 50% of the metroids i come across have the UPC cut out.

    You also find this a lot with developer/publisher employee gift/purchase stuff. They don't want you to get able to get product from the company for cheap/free and then return it to a store.

  • Some pickups from last weekend. Sold to me by our own BouncekDeLemos!

    Sword Master was a nice pickup, but Blast Corps & Discworld were the real finds. 2 games i've been on the lookout since I had them when I was younger.

    Went to a flea market today and found a few games. I was surprised to we as much NES games as I did... all super common filler. I even ran into master system games which I've never seen in a flea market before. All in was $40 from a few vendors. Pricecharting puts it as about $90 in games all together.

    I absolutely love this game. I was really surprised the quality of it for a GBA game. The djinn monsters were awesome too.

    Nice dude! The picture looks great on it. And the front hookups are always sweet to have for easy switching and testing.

    I'm really happy with it! The picture quality is really good! I messed with the settings for a bit and I'm really surprised with how much better it looks than my old crt!

    *edit, even next to the plasma it looks nice an vibrant and sharp!

  • I made the mistake of waiting too long to buy pikmin 2 (I still don't have it) so I grabbed pikmin 3 immediately.

    SNES pickups over the last month. Some trades, many bought, some found locally. My phone camera stinks, hopefully you can at least make out a few of these.

    So that's what a picture of a $1000 bill looks like.  I always wondered ...



    I had to laugh at your signature after reading that you bought most of these.  I completely understand haha



    Sweet pickups though!  Lots of AAA titles in there!



     
  • One more for today; hit up my local retro store in the evening:
