Finds 2039: Gamestop Pick Ups

New Additions to the Collection – GameStop Finds
A recent trip to GameStop added several great titles to the collection, spanning arcade classics and more experimental modern games.
The haul includes Metal Slug Anthology and Samurai Shodown Anthology, two excellent compilations preserving SNK’s legendary arcade legacy. Pursuit Force: Extreme Justice brings fast, over-the-top action, while Under Defeat: Deluxe Edition delivers polished shoot ’em up gameplay on the PS3. Half-Minute Hero adds a clever twist to the RPG formula, and Ivy the Kiwi? rounds things out with its charming art style and unique vine-drawing mechanics created by Yuji Naka.
A well-rounded set of additions and a reminder that great finds can still be discovered locally.

Finds 1923: Playstation 3 & 4 Consoles

A little trip to the thrift store ended up with a few console additions. I tested both the PS3 and PS4 and they work. The little memory card is also a nice plus. These are just back ups. I do need to get cables for an old PS2 that I have which needs to be plugged in! Anyways, watcha think?

Finds 1922: Peru Trip 2024 Spoils! Club Nintendo, Caballeros Del Zodiaco, TMNT, Famiclone Boxed Consoles, and More!

Another trip to the motherland leaves me with some really awesome additions which are better than prior years to be honest. This was such an amazing successful trip with a little bit of everything. I did a lot of walking and explored areas I've never seen before which leaves me wondering what else is there in store outside the capital? I will have to plan a more in depth trip to other areas of the country and see what comes out of them. Anyways, I finally ended up getting my Club Nintendo magazines which range from numbers 1-30 and then some are missing which I'll be sure to add them eventually. I need to create a list of the magazines I need. Either way, I'm so happy to have Club Nintendo #1! As you can see, this is the trip of Famiclone boxed consoles as I was able to finally pick up three of them which come with their respective consoles. I mainly got them for the boxes are they have become very hard to find. I did picked up two other clones with no boxes but totally worth getting to the collection. In La Feria del Juguete, I was able to get tons of really cool goodies including the Saint Seya PS4 game, and the bootleg TMNT action figures. Lets take a closer look with the rest of the photos! 

In this picture you can see an album of TMNT with the entire set of stickers that belong to it. They are actually a replica which I don't mind because finding the albums themselves have become extremely hard. You can see some of the lot of Famicom bootlegs which contain some goodies and variants I wanted. You can also see an Action Set Famiclone box and Club Nintendo #1! 

Here is another Famiclone boxed console called Creation with two more clone consoles. One of them is a Micro Genius which is a variant I was looking for forever! I also picked up extra controllers because apparently there are bootleg controllers of the bootleg controllers! Can you believe that? I test a few out and they play amazingly! 

I took a better shot of the bootleg TMNT action figures. I can't believe they are sealed so I picked them both up. Unfortunately, they don't come with weapons, but there are some that do so I will have to hunt down those variants. 

Famiclone games are just lovely to have. The highlights are Super Bros 8, Battletoads, Raf World, and Gijoe! Just so much fun to have! 

This shot shows an adapter which I got outside the festival for practically nothing! I also got a pal Spain exclusive Soccer game for the NES (Sorry Emilio), the 31 in 1 came inside one of the Famiclones, and the Saint Seya games for PS3 and PS4. They are all the Latin American releases which you can't find here in the States. The Famiclone is quite peculiar as it looks like a lady Robocop. The Mario Kart 8 is case only which I needed! 

I will come back sooner than later as I have more Club Nintendo magazines to bring home! Yes, probably around 100 issues! I really loved this trip and happy with the stuff I got, but most of all, I was able to visit family and relax for once. I feel refreshed to continue my busy life here in the States. Keep on hunting!

Finds 1874: Power Quest Sealed, Slave Zero, Virtual Pool, Metal Gear Solid 4, and Tetris Evolution

Another lot of goodies. I finally went for it and got Power Quest but couldn't find a really nice complete version and ended up with a sealed copy which is fine as I already have the game, I just wanted the box. I also went thrifting and got some Xbox goodies. Slave Zero is a really cool game if you haven't tried it yet.

Finds 1761: Sega Saturn Galore! Mega Man X4, Console, and a NES

Very very few times I'm able to find Saturn stuff and this was one of the best finds of the year. Not only was I able to pick up a Saturn minty in box, but I also got Mega Man X4 and another game for the console. That's not all, I was also able to pick up Mega Man 7 for the SNES and other games and consoles. It was definitely an amazing day for the collection.

Here are tons of new goodies! I picked up a red wii, a ps2 slim, and lots of games. Also, can't forget about the Pizza Tossin Leo which have become annoyingly difficult to find in the wild. The consoles each came with games inside but nothing really that special. Overall, more inventory for the future store and awesome consoles.
