Once again Nick and I hit up some of our usual stores in Omaha and tried to find some interesting things.
First stop of the morning was Half Price Books. This has got to be one of my favorite stores. Not only do they have decently priced games on occasion, I love browsing through all of the books.
- Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory Limited Collectors Edition. $4.99
- Brady Games Final Fantasy X strategy guide. $6.99

Found a few other items there of interest, not really gaming related but stuff I liked.
- Seven of the Age of Apocalypse Ultimate Editions. $3 each in the clearance rack.
- A few random Neon Genesis Evangelion comic books. 50 cents each.
- Bleach volume 1 from the clearance rack. $1
- Halo Legends blu-ray - $12.99
- Avatar Blu-Ray Collectors Edition - $13.99 (picked up at CD Tradepost)

We made our way to a couple of the Gamers store locations and made a couple purchases.
I was amazed they had a bunch of Dreamcast titles for once, mostly sports as always, but I dug out a couple that looked like fun.
- Towering Inferno, Commando Raid, Spider-Man, Freeway,
and Warlords (Sears branded). 95 cents each.
- Luigi's Mansion, Game Cube. $16.95
- Ninja Gaiden, NES, cart only. $6.95
- Mega Man X4, Playstation. Black label to replace my GH version. $6.95
- Gears of War 2 Limited Edition to round out my Gears titles. $19.95
- Crazy Taxi 2, Dreamcast. $6.95
- Sega Smash Pack Volume 1, Dreamcast. $10.95
- Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, Dreamcast. $12.95

Last few games I bought at CD Tradepost, Ben's Game Room, and a local pawn shop I can't recall the name of. Finally snagged Pokemon Black at Ben's Game Room for 25 bucks, cheapest I've found locally. Priciest thing I bought all day ended up being Mega Man 5 for 40 dollars. At $40, it still felt a bit pricey to me, but it's the cheapest I've found in my area by 15 dollars.
- Ms. Pac-Man, SNES, cart only. $5.95
- Frogger, Atari 2600. 95 cents
- Hogan's Alley, NES, cart only. $2.99
- Pokemon Black, Nintendo DS. $25.00
- Mega Man 5, NES, cart only. $40.00

Now I just need to locate a copy of Mega Man 1 and I will have all six releases for the NES. And then I just have to find the boxes and manuals for them all! *grumbles*
Lastly I snagged an Atari 5200, and some games, on the cheap from Nick, minus the weirdo power/tv switch box.
So if anyone has one lying around collecting dust they want to part with, gimme a yell!
He also gave me a SFC game, some sort of pachinko I think, and some cartridge cases for free.
Free stuff is the best stuff.

It was kind of a slow day on my side for the game hunt but your day turned out to be bitter sweet especially for the Mega Man 5 pick up!! I will keep my eyes out for a nice Mega Man 1. Hopefully we continue to find some good stuff around here but as we discussed I think we need to head out of town sometime when we both have some extra cash.
