After getting the big NES box lot, I was obviously on cloud 9.

Then it actually got better...

I walked into a Gamestop where I know the Manager, and asked long ago if she would hold on to any manuals or rarities that came into the store.

I hadn't seen her in a while, but there she was on Friday. She opened up the drawer behind the counter, and handed me two neatly sealed large ziploc bags filled with mint (and I do mean mint) manuals for N64, SNES and Genesis. There were a total of 56:

10 Genesis, 14 SNES, 32 N64, and 1 pocket guide

Was the fun over? Oh no... O_O

She also had a complete Suikoden II PSX game, and an NES Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (Taito version) sitting there as well.

With the Buy 2 get 1 free deal, I cleaned up, and got that Suikoden II for a song.

Then, when I got home, my MINT (complete w/all inserts) NES Panic Restaurant and MINT complete Neo-Geo US AES Super Sidekicks 3 were waiting for me.

I should play the lotto... O_O

Wow dude, you get lucky a lot, huh? I wish I could find finds like yours... but then I couldn't afford them anyway... but still, it'd be nice to find some stuff like that.

May not be important to you, but when you are trying to put together a set of complete games for those systems, it makes a difference.

If you're tired, go to bed. If you're bored don't comment. If you're a jerk, carry on. LOL

Nice... Very Nice.

I am hoping for a repeat of my great find as well. (I got 60 boxed NES games for $60 Canadian)
