Finds 1573: Last Loot of the Year! Famicom CIB Titles Ninja Cop Saizo and Radia Senki Reimei-Hen

To finish the year, these two games arrived in the mail. I've been meaning to get back into Famicom collecting as that's where it all started, I guess I will focus on that in the future. The first of the two is called Ninja Cop Saizo and it's a really cool side scroller that I've never heard of. I love the box art and I can't wait to try it out on my commodore monitor! I also got Radia which is a very interesting title. It plays like an action RPG with Zelda style gameplay. It's really cool and I remember seeing footage of this game when I first started collecting over 15 years ago. I was finally able to find a CIB copy and totally worth the purchase. I have one more little interesting gem that's on its way but it'll probably take a while to get here. I can't wait for it though! Happy New Year!

Finds 1572: Gamestop Deals for Days!

The deals at Gamestop continue and here are some more! They were having a Buy 2 get 1 on their used games and picked up some Switch titles. Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, Digimon, and Alex Kidd. I really liked that Alex Kidd came with a little manual and pin, now those are the kind of extras I enjoy. I'm also shocked they actually came with it as you know Gamestop tend to send you generic boxed games at times and I did ordered them online so it's a gamble. I also got Blasphemous which was at an amazing price and it's a highly recommended game. My friend posted about that one and I jumped on the deal. Gamestop loot!

The Year is Almost Done!

It’s been a crazy year where I felt I’ve grown as a person not even in this hobby, but overall as an individual. I feel like I’ve gotten more serious about every aspect of my life and been more focused. I feel like it’s time to make things happen and I’ve been very successful at it. I mention this because it’s something that I think everyone should be able to do in their lifetime. We all need to grow as individuals and find our calling. Whatever it may be, go find it! The time is now! Furthermore, my collecting goals will change next year with me focusing on other parts of collecting which I’ve neglected for a while. As many of you know, or not, I refer myself as Famicom Freak and my collecting started with the Famicom. I’ve gotten out of that for quite some time so it’s time to get back into it. I do plan on getting some rare hard to find gems with the box as the box is amazing for the Japanese release of these games. I do apologize for the lack of updates from the series I’ve been running but the holidays just turned everything upside down. Things are getting back to normal soon! I promise! Be safe everybody!

Finds 1571: Mechanical USB Keyboard!

Here is one of the more interesting finds of the month. It’s a USB Mechanical Keyboard. I’ve never seen anything like it but apparently a company decided to released these awesome devices. Not only that, I tested it and it works quite well. It also lights up as you’re using it so it’s quite fancy. I will be using this on my Windows 98SE Desktop. It’s a thing of beauty!

Finds 1570: Ace Duck & Mutagen Man

Two more figures I’ve been waiting for in the NECA line. I actually never saw Mutagen Man episode but I remember Ace Duck being part of the series for like five seconds. It’s crazy how they released something that had so little air time, but I guess people were really drawn to it. Mutagen Man on the other hand, looks really cool. I’m happy with these additions!

Finds 1569: Ultimate Chex Quest Cereal Box Limited Run Games

This was a really cool Christmas gift as I was given this Chex Quest collector’s edition box. The box is massive and comes with so many extras. The game was something new for use back in the 90s as it came with the cereal. We actually got the cereal just to get the game and still have the game to this day. What I didn’t know was that the series ended up getting three games in total. I was never aware of both part 2 and 3 but they were released alright. The game plays like a Doom-clone and it’s a lot of fun. It does have some character and a really good fun factor. This one comes as a remake and as I mentioned before, tons of extras! Younger me would be so excited about opening this Christmas morning.

Finds 1568: TMNT Turtle Blimp is Here!

I was sad that I missed the first wave of the Turtle Blimp but happy that they restock it and people spread the word around so I was able to get one of these beauties. I’m not sure if they still have it for sale but be sure to check out Wally World’s website for more info. The Box is really cool and definitely loving the graphics on the box. They are just nice and retro!

Finds 1567: NECA TMNT Additions! Vernon, Pizza Monster, Rat King, and More!

Got a big shipment from NECA to end the year with some new additions to the collection. These are some  awesome new additions including Vernon and Pizza Monster. I ended up buying multiple Pizza Monsters for army building reasons and the same with the Roadkill Rodneys! Overall, I’m happy with these additions as my collection of NECA Cartoon line turtles keeps growing! Cowabunga indeed!

Finds 1566: Holiday Matsuri 2021 Finds! Capcom Generations, Rockman Games, and Bonk!

I had a blast at the latest con called Holiday Matsuri 2021! I saw some friends and definitely hunted for some deals and here they are. I was able to hit all the remaining Capcom Generations games to finish off the set for the PS1. Rockman and Forte was finally mine after wanting this game for so long. Rockman Battle and Chase is a game I've wanted for a while and decided to add it. Finally Bonk for the PS2 is an awesome remake and totally worth the price! As you can see, all the additions were imports as this convention only had two vendors of games. I stayed with imports because I saw a lot of good deals for the collection. I felt I spent more than what I wanted, but it was totally worth it. When you compare prices, you have to make sure you are getting the better deal so I had to do a lot of price checking before each purchase. Lets just say I saved around 20-30 percent out of each game I got. Be a smart shopper!
