Finds 1919: A Little Bit of Everything! Rugrats, Fist of the North Star, Contra, and a Rare Famicom Mario Bootleg!


Here is a little lot from various sources. I was able to get the PS4 games from Gamestop with their Buy 2 Get 1 free deals and I'm shocked they are actually in their original cases, I'm impressed. Also, Limited Run arrivals with Rugrats, Contra Operation Galuga, Grandia HD Collection, King of Fighters XIII, and Pentiment. Finally, the Famicom goodies are Three Eyes Boy and a really rare hard to find Super Mario Bros game which I will have to talk about on its own post. TikTok video coming up too! Be sure to check out the rest of the pics for more closeups of the amazing loot!

Finds 1918: NES in the Wild! Plus PS2 Silver Controller


Here is another NES console that I found while thrifting. I usually pick them up if I find them in the wild as I barely see them anymore. I also picked up a Silver PS2 controller but no PS2 silver slim around so they must have sold it already.

Finds 1915: Final Fantasy Pixel Remastered Collection and Others



The Final Fantasy Pixel Remastered games are here! Squareenix had the games up for another pre-order after having such a small amount in the first run so I had to jump on both version for Switch and PS4. They both arrived and I have been playing the first game on the Switch. I intend to play all of them. I also got a coupe of other goodies from Limited Run Games. Fashion Police Squad and Batboy. Really cool stuff for the collection.
