Finds 379: Massive Acquisitions! Pacman Board Game, Gijoes, TMNT, Lunar Finally Complete, Shrek SP, NES, GBA, and Tons More!

WOW~! What a day of amazingness! Just when I though the day was over a whole new treasure chest of opportunities opens and I'm there to grab the gold! Lots of new findings today, and some from yesterday which have been fused into one blog entry. There is a little bit of everything! Gijoes, another Foot Soldier, Ninja Turtles, Consoles, a nice vintage board game, and lots of more items!! Each one with their own story! Check them out!!
So as many of you saw in a previous post from August, I got a hold of Lunar Silver Star Story Complete but it was missing a couple of discs. I wasn't happy about it, but with great patience anything can be accomplished and I gave myself a little early Christmas present (One of many) and acquired this game via eBay for a mere 26 dollars. There is no words to describe my satisfaction! Lunar Silver Star Story is finally complete and it's going into my already huge arsenal of games!

This was sure interesting. Very few times you will find games for amazing prices even at flea markets. When I say amazing, I mean amazing! Of course, you can get the usual two dollar games which is quite good but not good enough. I ended up picking these games for .50 each! That's seven dollars for fourteen titles! They aren't crappy releases either! They all have their uniqueness and look to be awesome to play through in every way! I couldn't say no to .50 cents each. Also, I ended up picking up an AV cable and power cable for my Mountain Dew Xbox which only leaves one piece missing, the controller!

I hit the jack pot with these but they all weren't at one place. The Special Edition Shrek SP I bought at the flea market for five bucks. The SP wouldn't turn out but once I got home I was able to figure out why. The battery was completely non-working so off I went to eBay and bought an spare. In the meantime, I opened my other SP to share the battery temporally just to test it out and presto! Working SP. The three Gameboy games excluding Pokemon Yellow of course I got from Play N Trade for ten bucks while the GBA games and Pokemon Yellow I got at the thrift store for 1.95 each. They are all going to my shoppe of course. I already have them all boxed and complete so won't feel bad about selling them off. Also, if you look closely you'll see something pirate har har har!
Not much to say about the PS3 games. They were .50 cents each and it's pretty much the price I would pay for them as they are sports titles. Why I got them? Just to kill some time on my PS3. The joystick in the bottom of the picture is for the Atari 5200. I actually bought it with a TMNT action figure but the lady was charging five dollars for it. I went on to explain that I was just curious about the joystick but didn't know anything about it so I wouldn't pay the five bucks she was asking. Seriously, it's not like I needed it! Then she went after me and asked me four bucks for it, then three, then two, and finally one so I finally said "SOLD!"
I got this because it has Pokemon Skin on it. It was five bucks anyways....leave me alone! >.<
I got some NES titles. Metroid, Castlevania, Punch Out, and Sesame Street were ten dollars together while the remaining three were two bucks each.
I got the Jungle Green N64 console for fourteen bucks while the gold controller was five bucks. The other two came up to five bucks for both.
I picked up this Frogger Handheld mainly because it has a very odd mechanism. You actually play the game looking at a mirror which reflexes the screen that's on top of it. Sounds odd huh? Well for 4.99 it sure was....
I picked up a Dreamcast for twelve dollars mainly because I felt like it! It came with a surprise game! I love it when that happens. It also came with a VMU! Sexy blue VMU!
Finally picked up Gijoes from both flea market and online. The Sagat figure was a dollar from a vendor at the flea market. I remember these. Me and my brother used to have a bunch of them including Vega and Barlog. The Cobra soldier was 1.50 from online sources! This one looks like the very old edition soldiers. Look how wimpy he looks!


I picked up these Ninja Turtles for a dollar each. The Foot Soldier was five dollars which I got it online. The Gijoe on the bottom left was a dollar from the flea market.
More Gijoes! The two on the right I got at the flea market for a .50 cents each while the two on the right came from the interweb for four bucks! Yugi was a dollar and also from the flea market. He was supposed to have the millennium puzzle around his neck but it's missing. Bakura must be at it again!
Finally, more Gijoes! These were from eBay as well. I got them for four bucks. Some of them came with their equipment which is always hard to find with the action figures since they are so tiny!

And last, the mega vintage Pacman board game! It is dated 1980 so you know it's vintage! I mean the thing is over 30 years old! It's a middle age board game! I'm not sure if it's complete or not but finding one of these is as awesome as you can imagine! The vendor was quite nice about selling it to me for five bucks. It's funny though, I though about it and left then turned back and decided to get it. I just couldn't say not to Pacman! and for five bucks! a steal any day of the week! This is definitely the find of this post! PACMAN FTW!!

Final Though
As Christmas is just a couple of days away, I couldn't be any more happier with today's acquisitions! Around 90 percent of it is going to my business which is a good thing although I need to start getting more strict about my purchases. I want my business to pick up even more and share the wonders of retro gaming to all my customers. It's what I'm here for! Thank you for reading and hope your holidays are amazing! Till next time!
