HEY NOW!!!
I made out pretty well this weekend, if I do say so myself.

My first big small score for Saturday was a trio of CIB Target-salvage Wii U games for $24.99 each:
New Super Mario Bros. U, Epic Mickey 2, and
Ninja Gaiden 3. Not quite as good a deal as I've usually been getting, but still a veritable steal.
I also grabbed a bag of three GBA carts for $4.99:
Super Mario World,
Cartoon Network Block Party, and one of those bootleg
108-in-1 dealies. With
Pokemon Ruby Version as the headliner game
. Fortunately, quite a few of the other games are not only playable, but reasonably enjoyable.
Then it was on to the newly-opened Savers. I didn't expect to find much, but I was pleasantly surprised to find some reading material, including two BradyGames
Secret Codes handbooks, and
How to Win at Nintendo 64 games for $1.99 each. I also found a CIB gold-leaf cover version of
Tetris Plus for the PS1 for just $1.99. I grabbed a few other things while I was there, but I'll get to that momentarily.
Later that evening, I hit Streetlight Records and picked up the following items for $6.44 and some trade credit:

Today was lighter, yielding the following:

New Super Mario Bros. U, $15.99: Goddamn, if I keep picking these up for this price, my Wii U collection's gonna pay for itself in no time with all the flippage.
The big non-gaming small scores of the weekend involved two of my biggest obsessions:

- Kre-O Optimus Prime building kit, $1.79: I almost passed this up 'cuz I was afraid it wouldn't have all the pieces in it. Oddly enough, it had
extra pieces!
- Optimus Prime party mask, $0.99
-
TransFormers Prime battle mask, $1.99
- Optimus Prime voice changer helmet, $5.99: Now, I know what'cher thinking:
Wait, don't you already have one of those? That's the one you wore in that pic that got Duke.Togo all caught up in mirthful guffaws, right? [img width=357 height=385]http://www.mediafire.com/conv/bc6dcca838df6fa43078c6bcbd1a92667e7ef646606449288212cb854d6c9b104g.jpg[/img]
Ladies.
Not quite-- unlike the first one I own, the new one says a few phrases in the only true voice of Optimus Prime, Peter Cullen. As far as I'm concerned, no one has the right to do Optie but him, and anyone else who tries deserves to suffer a slow and and excruciatingly painful death for their blasphemy.
- Nerf N-Strike Clear Series Deploy CS-6, $3.49, formerly owned by a reality TV celebrity.
And there you have it... for now.
Oh, and a belated congrats to pwpcody for completing his NA Nintendo 64 set.
