Started the day out at Nick's place, fooling around with his Super Famicom and trying to decipher Japanese. Bought a couple Famicom Games from him and his brother and decided to hit a couple pawn shops, a collectible store, and a little game shop.
After messing around with the Super Famicom, and coming to the conclusion that neither of us undertstand Japanses very well. We laughed a bit at the bouncing boobies in Bing Bing! Bingo, I bought a copy of Ultima 4 and Tetris for Famicom from Nick and his brother. After that we decided to hit the road and visit a couple shops around town.

First stop was a pawn shop, I picked up Onimusha, and Onimusha 3 there for 4 dollars each. We headed down the street to another pawn shop and found a copy of Onimusha 2 there for 7.77.

After that we visited one of our common stops and I found a fat boy PS2 complete with the box and all of the foam inserts. It even included a memory card for 59.99. I ended up buying this because of the PS2 slim looking out of place on my game shelf with all of the other "large systems."
Other reasons being, for some reason PS2's seem to be in short supply in my area, and when you can find them.. they're around 40 dollars. And then they want 10 for a memory card for some damned reason. So I felt that 10 dollars more than that was worth a fat PS2 in the box with all the stuffing and original manuals.

On to another gaming shop we've both had good luck at...
I picked up a boxed copy of Rush'n Attack for NES, minus the manual for 7.95, and Mass Effect for XBox 360 for 14.95.

Off we went to CD Tradepost and Best Buy. I ended up using some reward points and bought Paper Mario on N64 for around 11 dollars at CD Tradepost. At Best Buy, Nick pointed out that the Gears of War 3 Epic Edition had been marked down to 49.99 and I figured, "What the hell." Picked that up. Now I just need to get my hands on a copy of Gears 2 and I can play through the storyline and see what all the fuss is about.

Last stop of the day was at Toys 'R Us, Nick was hoping to pick up Diablo 3 cheap. The local Toys 'R Us was selling most of it's PC games for 10 dollars in an effort to clear their inventory before they get out of the PC game business at that location. No such luck, all of the 10 dollar Diablo 3's were gone.
I however, ended up picking up The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks for 20 dollars. No picture of that one, it's still in the glove box of my car and I'm feeling lazy. But I'm pretty sure that completes my Zelda collection, outside of the CD-I released and LCD games.

We had a great short day of shopping and it was fun not to say the least! Great pick up on that PS2 and the Gears of War 3! Anyone on here want to sell him a copy of Gears of War 2 Limited Edition? Sadly we can't find a decent pawn shop around here. I am still considering the $80.00 surround sound system but maybe I can hold of for a better one.

Famicom Tetris, not a great version, but an interesting pick up none the less.

Have to start somewhere! Those two games mark the official start of my import collecting endeavors. Hopefully I'll be adding much more to that in about a week or so.

instead of a true surround sound system, you could always kludge together a stereo system for about half that. currently, i have a 8.1 "stereo"system set up from a few speakers from good will, and a yard sale stereo system xD.
