Vinyl, very sad to see that.

We have had a similar thing happen to us before, and after that one occasion, anything we have bought that has a shipping box or carboard box that should not be thrown away - we email them to tell them not to throw it away, and that it has value. Best to do that and be on the safe side!

That's a bummer, Vinyl. I hope you are able to make your money back if you have to sell it.

Here's a recent purchase, a game I've been wanting for awhile:

Great game. I love the jab at critic quotes on the cover art! :lol:

Couple of recent finds... first off, I stumbled across a bunch of interesting Japanese GBA carts in a local thrift store (how on Earth did these end up there? God only knows)

Posted Image

Avid readers will have spotted the tell-tale signs...shiny and not properly centered labels, smudgy print & washy colours, some sort of paper seal over the screwhole and a GBA logo that is not quite right.
I got greedy when i saw the Mario Kart and Pokemon carts and did not check them properly because i haven't seen any bootlegs with Japanese labels before.
They were quite cheap but still, i should have known better.

Next!
The same thrift store on another day yielded this factory sealed Brain Training game (UK edition) for only 3 euro.
Nothing spectacular but any sealed game is a welcome addition to my collection and in 40 years time it will certainly double my investment :)

Posted Image

Finally, i decided to pre-empt my upcoming birthday because the local electronics emporium was having a "buy 2 games, get 1 free" promotion.
A good opportunity to pick up something new and two recent must haves:

I really enjoyed the idea of doing this but idk if I can get myself to pay 500+ for just a controller

A question though? Why do 2 sets of the same?

And of you ever come to selling one set lmk haha

Thanks. Yeah when I saw that and her low feedback I was a little worried I was getting scammed. But when I asked for more pictures of the sides she sent them so I assume she's a legit seller and her cameras just old.

I've checked several stores but the Splatoon amiibo were nowhere to be seen here.
However, I did snatch a 40x40x40 cm Splatoon promo cube from one of those stores... sometimes, good things happen to good people :)

Didn't get much today, but an N64 classic finally makes it into my collection.

- Two PlayStation 2 MagicGate memory cards (8 MB) (sealed)
- The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (cartridge only) for Nintendo 64

I've also put some money down to reserve a copy of Mario Maker. So many years of being a gigantic Super Mario fan and now I can make my own levels (without having to learn code)? How could I resist!? :w00t:

@Matt: interested to hear about Project Cars. I'm a bit chaffed that it isn't currently (and may never be) available for the Wii U. Looks epic though.

@Bamboozled: Keen observation. Just thinking today about how the Squid boy/girl amiibo are far better looking that my others (Samus, DH and Captain Toad).

May take a while first, since its currently out of stock and my estimate is about July, I'm not in a huge hurry for it though so I'm fine to wait, I have plenty of other games to play in the meantime
