I've always wondered if this has happened to anyone else...
Back in 2002 my town there is a strip mall that used to contain Kay Bee Toy Works. Toy Works themselves went out of business for having higher prices than Toys R Us and any other store within 50 miles. As they went out of business they sold off all their old stock they've had hidden in their back rooms since who knows when. They sold off remaining stockpiles of PS2, Xbox, Gamecube, N64, Dreamcast, gameboy, Genesis, game.com games. I took the liberty of buying games like anyone would during this time of their financial downfall and purchased several new Dreamcast games (one of still unopened) including Dead or Alive 2. At the time I was in middle school and more or less flat broke. So this was the last game I was able to purchase and afford. Now I'm sure we all are familiar with this game and how extremely popular it was. Unfortunately for me I have, to this day never played DoA2. Odd as it might seem. Although I purchased DoA2 new, NEVER OPENED, I opened the package to find Dynamite Cop!. Lately, I've rethought about this and wondered if any of my fellow collectors have experienced this? Am I alone?
