A Wonderful Christmas Time

The annual Christmas haul has brought me within 10 games of a complete US Game Gear collection. Time to start working on the rest as I can.

Aging Into Atari

A random stop into a DVD Transfer store led to this surprising find. They were on a shelf and were only $2 each. Not going to ask how or why, nor do I care.

It’s a Fun House

Normally I wouldn’t pay up for Intellivision stuff, but I’d never seen a boxed Loco Motion and decided to grab it from a local game store. Krusty’s Fun House now puts me ever closer to a complete US Game Gear set. I’m now 16 games away.

Intelligent [Sealed] Vision

A now super rare vintage gaming find at Goodwill. Most of these go straight to their online auction house. But, here we have five factory sealed Intellivision games priced at $6 a piece. Solid deal.

Portability 101

Local game store had a Labor Day sale, so after a few small trade-ins, this came to $20 total. Down to 18 Game Gear games to go for a complete set.

Grand Theft Lifeline

About $15 total for this lot, mostly from a local game store using trade credit. BUT, Lifeline and GTA Trilogy were flea market finds, just $.50 each. Sound of Thunder GBA was a great find too in a clearance bin for only $4.

Open Ice and Open Sky(landers)

Birthday haul! Didn’t pay a penny for any of this, and got to shrink the Game Gear list even further. Less than 40 games to go for a complete set.

As for these Skylanders, they were free from a garage sale. Must be 30-40 figures and multiple portals. That was a great find.

Garage Sale Season Underway

Around $100 for everything, but not shown are two Wii consoles with WiiMotes and cables. They sealed the deal. Also not shown are blank cases include multiple copies of Wii Sports. Long garage sale weekend, but it proved to be worth it.

The One Where I Paid $45 for Bubsy

… but I got a great deal on the rest! A mere $2 each for complete-in-box DS games is a steal. I couldn’t turn down a Jaguar game in the wild though, even if it’s Bubsy.

Coleco No

Ignoring my lack of a Colecovision console, the price on those Colecovision games was too good to pass on. Actually, the price on the whole stack wasn’t bad: $10 for everything, thanks to sizable trade-in credit.
