Zag that lp is awesome! I've never seen anything like that in our record store here well half price books.

[RetroRage]

Thank you Mr. Norch.  It's in great shape.

However, the package didn't come with one of your trademark snarky letters.  I am disappoint.

Pretty sweet vinyl find, Zag!

So after 2 weeks of complete insanity, both personally and professionally, my wife and I decided to get away for a short weekend. We hit the "big city" today, and I spent some time game hunting. I think I did quite well! Here are my pickups from the 1st game store:

Here's the stuff I got from one Goodwill location:

And finally, my best score from the other Goodwill!

@MetalFRO Very nice! Stuff for a range of different consoles!

[GrayGhost81]

@Metalfro just making damn sure you have a working copy of MGS huh?

[TheBoss]

@Zagnorch: That looks like a great score and it seems to be an early 1980 release.
The previous owner must have been very good to his vinyl’s so I hope you have this protected!

This reminds me I forgot to show 2 game vinyl’s I got in a while back

Space Odyssey Gradius II & SUITE GRADIUS Fantasia 12” Vinyl

Both of these came out in Japan back in 1988 and are some of the oldest VGM I have.
A whole series of Gradius games have since come out that are very popular in Japan.

@MetalFRO Very nice! Stuff for a range of different consoles!

Yeah, I made sure to grab a little bit of everything!

@Metalfro just making damn sure you have a working copy of MGS huh?

That's the plan! I bought the Greatest Hits version because that's what I have, but when I saw the original I figured why not? I've been buying both versions of other games when I find them

@TheBoss - can I just say that you suck? LOL. As a major shmup and vinyl fan, those are something I'd love to have in my collection.

I'll have more photos later of some stuff I picked up today, and a couple things I got in the mail this week.

Got this sweet controller from Russly Man and bought another NES game I needed from him:

Here's my Goodwill haul from this afternoon:

This little beauty arrived a couple days ago:

And many thanks to slackur for hooking me up with what I believe is the "holy grail" (sorry, pun very much intended!) of Game Boy finds:
[img width=700 height=700]http://i349.photobucket.com/albums/q388/MetalFRO/Mobile%20Uploads/2015-10/AA66FF53-47CF-457C-A167-684ACC3CE86D.jpg[/img]

[Shadow Kisuragi]

That's awesome on the KJV. slackur's profile image is based off that.

[shaggy]

Awesome finds, Metal!

[MetalFRO]

I forgot to mention, the Larry Boy game is still factory sealed, so if anyone is going for a complete sealed PS2 collection and lacks that game, I will be adding it to my sale/trade list.

Scores (most of them at least) from RetroWorld Expo for me are here: http://www.rfgeneration.c...15966.msg229597#msg229597

I just got this today. It's really cool, but the D-Pad is a little touchy.
